1 Driveshaft problem of the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 03/31/2011

I had to have the driveshaft in my 1999 chevy Blazer replaced in March 2011. Exactly one week later my son was driving to school cayuga-onondaga boces in aurban when the drive shaft fell out causing the Blazer entire rear-end to seize up throwing the vehicle almost making my son go down over the bridge. The school came and towed him back and looked at it the bolt that holds the driveshaft in was not there, as if they forgot to tighten it or forget to put it on all together. There is no evidence that the bolt was pulled off or broken, you can clearly see by the treads. I had the trained auto mechanics at the school call over to pullens and they were rude, said they did their job and there was nothing to do to help us. . Very rude also, the driveshaft didnt have any grease fittings so it wouldnt have lasted 6 months top. This garage did a bad job and need to learn how to do their job right I didnt pay over $500 to have my vehicle fixed for one week.

3 Driveshaft problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 06/01/2001

Vehicle has a engine/drivetrain vibration that can be heard and felt throughout the cabin at speeds of 58-62 mph. The vibration cycles on and off constantly, being on for 1-2 sec and then off for 3-5 sec. We fear eventual engine/drivetrain failure, especially after front suspension recall and transfer case recalls. Gm unsure of cause, but said it is happening on numerous trailblazers with no fix yet but feel it is related to engine harmonic balance. A friend of ours lost the #5 piston on their engine while passing, nearly causing a severe accident. Local dealers confirm several other engines in 2002 trailblazers have blown - wondering if these problems are related. Our vibration/noise problem makes us very uneasy in terms of family safety while inside our new vehicle at these highway speeds.
