Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Transmission problems, windshield wipers not working, headlights not working, awd problems, cooling system problems, fuel pump, control arm & ball joint problems are just some of the major safety issues on 96-99 GM blazers, Bravada's, & jimmys. These problems should really be looked into and recalled. Most problems starting right after warranty expired. Can't believe GM is getting away with this. Transmission went bad at 71000 miles and dealer says that they know there was a defect with the transmissions also problem (code 1870) but they will not cover the repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10149153, filed 2006-01, 71,000 miles“The contact stated while traveling 45 MPH, the vehicle overheated and stalled. The consumer pulled over and after letting the vehicle cool off, he restarted it. The vehicle was driven to an independent repair shop, where it was determined the fuel injector was leaking. Fuel was leaking onto the wires for the main computer system. The repair shop suggested the fuel injector and all the wires be replaced. Updated 05/23/06.”
