2 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2003

I purchased a used 2001 Chevrolet Blazer last March. I had the vehicle for 1 month and the service engine soon light came on. I took it to the garage and they said I needed an air intake box. I was able to get a used one. After one year I am back to the same situation. This air intake box that was another vehicle had the same problem. When removed the box contains alot of condensation. The service garage does not know why this happens. The condensation I am sure is whats causing the box to fail. I would like this investigated to see if this is a recall.

3 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2002

I purchased my vehicle in 4/01 and seven months later I began experiencing a host of problems with my vehicle, starting with multifunction switch worn, then hood hinges worn, exhaust (muffler broken) right speaker inoperable, left front seat adjuster broken, grill assembly loose, brake pedal broken and finally transmission failure (needs replacing). I have done a bit of inquiring to other chevy Blazer owners and found out that they have or had experience some if not all of the same problems that I am experiencing now. I am hereby respectfully requesting your assistance in rectifying this complaint. I don't think that after 11mths of purchasing my vehicle I should be needing my transmission replace. From passed experienced with replacing a transmission on my wife new vehicle (Mazda mx3) back in 1992 it has never been the same. We had been having the same problems and more with it. We were able to actually get another vehicle and the same problem keep occuring . After that long and tiring experience with my wife's car I now that this won't be no different. I have purchased a lemon and I need to know what recourse I can take to insure that I would not be stuck with a vehicle that would be costing me more to have it constantly fixed and replace. I thank you for your help and assistance in this long and tiring ordeal. I anxiously await hearing from you. Respectfully yours.
