Contacts husband welded the door hook back on, but now the door will not completely shut, causing the lights to stay on and the battery to run down. The automobile manual did not state for contact to lubricate doors once a month. The passenger side door is now doing the same thing. The back gate will not open either.

I opened the drivers door on my 2003 Chevrolet Blazer with only 13,000 miles and the door dropped down in my hands. The pins that hold the door hinge had partly lifted out. It would not have been out of the question for the pin to have fallen out completly in which case the hinge would have come completely apart and the door would have fallen off the vehicle. When I called the chevy dealer they were well aware of the problem. Apparently this happens all the time with s10 pickiups and Blazers. Aside from the frustration of such a shoddy design I am afraid to think of the effect of such a failure at 65 mph or of a door coming off in an accident as a result of faulty hinges.

Most recently we had to replace the hinge on the front door, driver side, it failed and fell on to the ground. To replace it cost us $43 at a body shop, the dealership wanted $300 to replace it. When the Blazer was brand new I took it back to the dealership they told me that it was dry and lubricated it, they told me to use wd-40. When we had it replaced the body shop found the door frame at the strike plate had broken and deteriorated making it impossible to lock the door. The body shop told us that the second problem probably cause the first problem. The factory rep said it was my fault because I must of closed the door to hard and that it was our problem. To repair the second problem will cost us $300. The other problem is the passenger door inside panel has broken loose. Also the back passenger door inside panel is also cracked which resulted in the speaker on that door not working. The factory rep said that was our fault also. I feel that these are defects that shouldn't have happened.
