“Rear tailgate on my 2000 Chevrolet Blazer ls would not open after closing. The rear inside trim panel had to be broken because of a poor design to get to cheap plastic actuator unit to release the rear window and tailgate. Costly repair not under warranty. Could pose safety problem if it was the only escape route in car crash. I feel GM should at least cover parts repair since the only way to replace the problem is to break a $145.00 + trim panel because the screws for that panel are on the side of the tailgate which you can't get open to unscrew them. …”

Manufacturer rep offered labor/parts split for suspension work and brake work for $1400.00. Refused work on door lock in excess of $300.00.”

“My chevy Blazer's drivers door was repaired while it was under warrenty. It is breaking off. My warrenty expired 3 mths later as the door had broken again. The chevy dealer refused to repair it.
