AFTER HAVING DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS ON INTERSTATE ROADS (CONSTANTLY MONITORING THE COOLANT GAUGE - STANDARD FOR ANY TRIP I TAKE). I STOPPED TO GO TO THE REST ROOM AND WHEN I RETURNED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE IT MADE A HORRIBLE LOUD METAL BANGING NOISE. I MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THAT IF IT NEEDED TO BE TOWED IT WOULD BE READY. I CHECKED THE COOLANT GAUGE AND IT WAS AT THE VERY END OF THE HOT ZONE, CHECKED THE COOLANT AND FOUND ALMOST NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR. I HAD TO PUT WATER IN TO GET IT HOME (ANOTHER 3 HOURS ON THE ROAD). AT NO TIME DURING THAT TRIP DID THE COOLANT GAUGE INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL PER THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND HAVE DONE MOST OF THE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES...

BOUGHT NEW/USED 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER FROM SHOWCASE CHEVROLET IN WESTMINSTER CA. HAD IN POSSESSION FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK AND THEN BEGAN HAVING RADIATOR/COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP DID NOT WANT TO CORRECT DEFECT SO TRIED TO USE LEMON LAW. NO ONE WOULD GIVE ME INFORMATION ON GENERAL MANAGER. FINALLY FOUND OUT WHO GM WAS AFTER 3 WEEKS OF HASSLES. FOUND OUT THAT HIS NAME WAS JOE PERRY AND THAT HE WAS ON VACATION AT THE TIME. WHEN HE RETURNED I CONTACTED HIM THAT DAY AND TOLD HIM ABOUT ALL MY TROUBLES AND HOW THE VEHICLE WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. HE WAS RUDE AND NOT HELPFUL WHAT-SO-EVER WITH THE SITUATION. AFTER BEING TOLD BASICALLY ITS MY PROBLEM NOW, I DECIDED TO FIND OUT THE AREA MANAGERS NAME AND HOW TO CONTACT HIM/HER. CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND REPORTED THE VEHICLE...

2 MONTHS INTO OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE UPPER CONSOLE DIGITAL TEMPERATURE READ OUT WENT BAD. UPON REPLACING IT TWICE IT IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. THEY HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT GRILL TO NO AVAIL. AT ONE OIL CHANGE THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH A CROOKED HOOD. THE LOCK ASSEMBLY HAD SLID OVER 1/2 INCH. IT CAUSED THE HOOD AND THE FENDER TO MEET AND THE TWO METALS SLAMMED TOGETHER CAUSED A SCRATCH ON BOTH PARTS IN THE PAINT. THE LOCK ASSEMBLY WAS RETURNED TO IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION. UPON INFORMING THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS "SLIPPING" WHEN IN GEAR I WAS GIVEN A VERBAL DRIVING LESSON. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CHEVROLET S-10 BLAZER SINCE 1992 AND THIS IS THE 3RD ONE I HAVE AQUIRED. AFTER BRINGING IN A THIRD PARTY THE LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL, ALL FLUIDS, AND SEALS WERE REPLACED, THUS FIXING THE ISSUE. AT 4000...
