“Drivers side upper ball joint separated while making a right turn off of a main street onto a side street. The wheel folded into the wheel well causing the 2000 worth of damage. Chevy Blazer came to a sudden halt. My family was very lucky we were not going at highway speeds when this occurred. The vehicle has approximately 72,000 miles. I had just lubed the front end and changed the oil change the day before.”

I have a $20,000 piece of junk sitting in my driveway.this was ongoing from earlier year models but no recalls for this year ,why no body died ? Fuel gauge bounced.”
NHTSA complaint #10196403, filed 2007-07, 60,000 miles“Fortunately, I had just gotten off the freeway and was looking for an address at a slow speed. All of a sudden the car lurched; I had no steering; I lost all electrical control; the car ground to a halt; smoke came out from under the hood. I and a friend got out of the car. Fortuitously, fire trucks appeared. It turned out they were returning from another incident as I could not believe the immediacy of their response. They took over preventing further aggravation of this situation. The battery was boiling. All the electrical wire harnesses were melted. …”
NHTSA complaint #10537189, filed 2013-08, 93,732 miles“I am complaining about the front wheel bearing on a 2000 Blazer with only 36,754 miles on it. These are sealed bearings and no way to service them, they are suppose to last the life of the vehicle. The vehicle vibrates and makes noise and is ruining my tires and could make the vehicle wheel fall off. I got the vehicle used but have only put 10,000 miles on it in 2 years and I have the vehicle serviced every 3,000 miles and have all the records. …”
NHTSA complaint #10091133, filed 2004-09, 36,000 miles“The wheel bearing had to be replaced less than a month after I had it. The dealer did not charge me for that. I had the vehicle for about two and a half months and the transmission went out. The dealer only covered 30% of the cost which was better than nothing.”
