2 Automatic Transmission Cooler problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2003

Have a 99 Blazer,2 wd. The recliner handle broke off the first week I owned it( my kid broke it by simply touching it!) vehicle had 32000 mi at the time. Have not fixed it because of cost. Since then I have discovered an oil leak on the oil line cooler,a $300 fix(to repair both lines),and to top things off I'm being told that the intake gasket has the potential of giving way. I have 58000mi on this vehicle so far. Have been told that the s-10 Blazer are notorious for these problems, and so far g. M. Has no recall on any of it. Incendently a mechanic I know has a s-10 Blazer similar to mine, his oil lines leaked, and finally blew,costing him a new engine. Mine haven't blown -----yet. I can still drive it, but it worries me. I've been a g. M. Fan for many yrs. But this crazy Blazer is starting to make me reconsider what my next vehicle will be. Can anything be done about this????? thanks.
