1 Body problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2014

While driving in the parking lot of lowes, the door hinge on drivers side failed along with latch allowing it fall off. Making door unclosable and car undrivable. After taking it to repair shop, mechanic showed me several other 2004 chevy Blazers with the exact same same hinge failure. He has repaired so many of them with the same problem he concluded it must be a defect. Repair cost for this are estimated at $1k as the hinge must be replaced and re enforced, along with the drivers door and locking latch.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2004

Blazer feels as if it is going to roll over in high winds, shakes, on the highway you feel like you are on a roller coaster ride. Blazers are supposedly the deadiest vehicles on the road today.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2004

Water somehow gets into the b-pillar of the driver's side when it rains or the vehicle gets put through the carwash. Customer noticed the seat belt was soaked when pulled out. Customer is worried about seat belt strength diminishing and failing in an accident. Since the belt is wet all the way to the end when pulled out, the mechanism that ravels up the belt must be wet also. Rusting and mechanism failure could result. Seatbelt also is mildewing and starting to smell.
