VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD FLASHERS, CONSISTENT WITH RECALL 01073. THESE ISSUED HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT, BUT IN THE PAST MONTH HAVE BECOME CONSTANT. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THAT THIS RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED IN 2002. THIS ISSUE WITH LIGHTS HAS OCCURRED SINCE 2007, CONTACT WITH CHEVY HAS BEEN OFF AND ON SINCE THAT POINT. CONTACTED CHEVY TODAY 9/15/2008 BECAUSE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH HAS NOW STARTED TO SMOKE WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE USED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY COMING FROM THE MFC WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN 2002. CHEVY HAS STATED THAT RECALLS ARE A ONE-TIME FIX AND ANY FURTHER ISSUES AT ANY POINT IS THE LIABILITY OF THE CUSTOMER. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT FOR A RESOLUTION OF A RECALL REPAIR WITH WAS PERFORMED ONLY 6 YEARS AGO. IF THIS ISSUE IS UNRELATED TO THE 01073 RECALL, I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF MY POCKET, BUT I WANT CHEVY TO INITIATE THE DIAGNOSIS, INSTEAD THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT WHATSOEVER TO EVEN DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS ERROR. I HAVE STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH ALL SAFETY FEATURES INTACT, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT 01073 ADDRESSED HAS RECURRED. I WOULD LIKE CHEVY TO BEAR THE COSTS OF DIAGNOSIS, AND COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR FOR ALL REPAIRS REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE MALFUNCTIONS RELATING TO THE HAZARD SWITCH AND/OR MFC (MULTI-FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL SWITCH). *TR

WE HAVE OWNED 2000 BLAZER SINCE 0/6/2001 2ND OWNER BOUGHT WITH LESS THAN 19000 MILES ON IT. MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED BECAUSE OF RECALL ACTS UP WHEN BULBS ARE WEAK. WE ARE ON THE THIRD SET OF UPPER BALL JOINTS NONE PAID FOR BY WARRANTY. LEFT HUB ASSEMBLY FAILURE WHICH RESULTED IN ABS MALFUNCTION FIXED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. DRIVER DOOR HINGE ASSEMBLY RUSTED WOULD NOT CLOSE WITHOUT FORCE FIXED BUT NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. SUSPECT DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE LOUD SQUEAKING. MOST IMPORTANT! PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS DEVELOPED SAME PROBLEM AND WILL NOT SHUT CORRECTLY. ON MAY 01,2006 AFTER PICKING UP MY 12 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WE WERE TO STARTING TO DOWN THE STREET WHEN PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN!!!! I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED! THE HINGES AND PINS APPEAR TO BE GETTING WET AND RUSTING . ALSO ALL ROTORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE . THIS BLAZER HAS ONLY 88,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DECIDED TO INCLUDE ALL PROBLEMS BUT AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT DOORS, IF WE HAD BEEN GOING FASTER I AM AFRAID MY NEPHEW WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT OF VEHICLE!!! *JB
