3 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 01/25/2023

My complaint is with the standard hid headlights in the 2019 Blazer and the very poor mounting system. The headlights are mounted too low to be effective in lighting the roadway, particularly where no shoulder stripping is on the roadway. Too, at unlighted intersections the lighting so poor that safe left or right turns cannot be accomplished. The hid lights themselves are a poor design in that they do not offer any useable peripheral lighting to add vision to the road shoulders. Due to the low mounting, the hid do not adequately shine light onto the road surface. Rather the available light shines across the surface and not down on it had the lights been mounted at the top of the fenders as most lights are mounted and designed. This has been an ongoing issue with the vehicle since purchasing the car new in November of 2018.

6 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 03/07/2016

My customer complained of a transmission failure involving, but not limited to a dtc p0785. I asked my customer if the involved vehicle (2000 Chevrolet Blazer) had any dealer or after market accessories installed, customer adamantly replied: no, "bone stock gm. " my customer was not aware that the involved vehicle had a theft deterrent system, manufactured by "karr" and distributed by audiovox with installers nationwide. I have been actively involved with gm dealerships for over forty years and possess a wealth of experience in parts and service experience. I removed the suspect security system and repaired the damaged wiring which resulted in the improper installation. In the past week I have been confronted with four customer complaints which resulted from security systems, aftermarket radios and including aftermarket headlamps. These aftermarket components are the direct cause of system failures involving engine management systems, lights, and numerous electrical failures. I sincerely request immediate and thorough investigation which I remain confident will result in massive recalls of these inferior products.

8 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 04/22/2013

My blinkers started blinking real fast and I couldn't figure out why. I asked my brother and he told me I had a light out somewhere, so he helped me locate it. It was my blinker on the driver side back. I replaced it and a few months later it happened again. I replaced it again. All this happened in 2013. In the summer of 2014 it happened again with the same light. I replaced it again. I was watching good morning America this morning and seen where they were investigating safe cars at used car dealers. It gave a web site to look and see if your vehicle has any recalls. I looked and it showed mine had 4. I called the number it gave and the lady told me mine had none with the VIN # I gave her. Why then am I having problems with this one light?.

15 Exterior Lighting problem of the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 02/09/2009

'99 Blazer zr2 my daughters first car, she paying for herself. Has the most annoying blinker noise under passenger side dash. In research have found that 100s of other people are having the same very expensive fix. It consists of a multifunction switch with the cost of upto $700. I feel that Chevrolet (GMC) should be responsible for some of this repair--it obviously is a problem with a design or a defected part. If you check the internet it is just loaded with people dealing with this. In addition to this that same year Blazer seems to have some transmission problems and bearings at the 70,000 mil range. . . . . Something isn't right here. We just did the bearings for the $400 price tag. Please help this young girl, she is trying to the right thing, lets help her do it.

17 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Blazer

Failure Date: 05/19/2008

I came across a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer LS recall #01v364000 issued on or about March 2002. I had forgotten about the recall when I had my car repaired at jim trenary Chevrolet in o fallon, mo in March 2008. I later found the recall. The repair work that I paid for matched exactly what the recall was about so I asked for a refund for that work. They refused since my VIN wasn't on gm's list of open recalls. What went wrong with my vehicle was what was exactly described on the recall. Why wasn't my VIN included? part # 26100837 was a part mentioned in the recall and it is listed on my paid invoice.
