2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER — Complaint #666799
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:MARKINGS filed April 22, 2008
NHTSA complaint #666799 (ODI reference 10225388) concerns a 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER and was filed on April 22, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 20, 2008. The vehicle had 101,851 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:markings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET BLAZER cohort independently describe similar tires:markings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
