| 1994 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | CALLED/ EMAILED GM AND ALTHOUGH I HAD A FAILURE THE DAY AFTER MY NEW BRAKES WERE DEALER INSTALLED AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BLAZER IN THE YEARS RECALLED I AM NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THIS REALLY UPSETS ME BECAUSE I COULD INJURED SOMEONEON THE STREET ON IN MY CAR AND THEY CONTINUE TO PRETEND THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. I FILED A REPORT W/ YOU IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT- BRAKES PUT ON ONE DAY- NEXT DAY I AM, FORTUNATELY, MAKING A SLOW TURN AS I HEAD TO COURT, CANNOT NEGOTIATE THE TURN BECAUSE I HAVE NO BRAKES AND SLAM INTON AND ON TOP OF A FIRE HYDRANT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER/ MECHANIC AT THE SCENE AND THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE BOTH DEPRESSED THE PEDAL AND CONFIRMED WHAT I SAID. THE DEALER AND GM DENIED IT AND- EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MAJOR RECALL- AND I AM A TRUE VICTIM- AM IGNORED AND THEY ARE "PLEASED TO TELL ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL". THIS IS GARBAGE AND CLEARLY THE REASON THAT I WILL NEVER SUPPORT GM OR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCT. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER- I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE ON BEHALF OF THOSE MULTITHOUSAND OF OWNERS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM- BUT IT WAS OF NO BENEFIT TO ME. *AK |
| 1998 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT | TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR CONTINUES TO "CLICK" AFTER TURN SIGNAL HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. IT CLICKS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL HAS NOT BEEN ACTIVATED. AS WITH OTHER 1998 BLAZERS, THE WINDSHEILD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY THEY DO NOT SHUT OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.*AK |
