Chevy Blazer has low milage. However, it still has several electrical issues radio at engine start goes to loudest point and car seats move backwards at awkward times which can cause an accident. Suspension very off guard, truck drifts to the sides while driving and makes an awkward sound when turning steering wheel. The complete break / steering system is off and may cause an accident if not properly take care right away. I have no money to do this big job. Please remediate.
THE AC COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES - THE LAST TIME WAS ON 9/2003. THE EXHAUST PIPE SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE MUFFLER HAS BEEN REPLACED, CLUSTER DASH WENT OUT AND REPLACED, FRONT SUSPENSION REPLACED, BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND REPLACED. THE BACK WINDOW WAS NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY AND HAD TO BE FIXED. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD TO BE REALIGNED AND THE DOOR SILL REPLACED.
