1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER

I HAVE THE MOTO METAL 6 LUG BONES WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK AND THEY ARE CRACKING JUST LIKE THE 8 LUG WHEELS OF THIS SAME TYPE. MOTO METAL WILL NOT REPLACE ALL OF THE WHEELS AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY RECALLED THE 8 LUGS BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE 6 LUG. IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE OF BREAKING THEN WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER IF THEY ARE 6 OR 8 LUG.

SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW, SOMETIMES WHEN THE CRUISE BUTTON IS PUSHED THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO FULL THROTTLE. IF I STEP ON THE BRAKE IT WILL STOP. I HAD IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHEN IT WAS NEW. IT WOULD NEVER DO IT FOR THEM. IT ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT TWICE A YEAR. THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS ON THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THAT DID NOT FIX IT. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A U TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED BY ITSELF. SHE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WHEN CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO AN APARTMENT BUILDING. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE THROTTLE WAS FULLY ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED. *AK UPDATED 11/30/2005 - *NM

DT: WHILE THE CONTACT'S MOTHER WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE RAN INTO A HOUSE AND WENT THROUGH IT. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, AND FOUND THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK ALL THE WAY FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TO ANY MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. *AK

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASES AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TAKE EFFECT. I READ IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1999 TO 2003 GM SUV'S. MY QUESTION IS, WAS THERE EVER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1993 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZERS AND IF NOT IS THERE A CHANCE OF GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED BY GM AT THEIR EXPENSE CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE.*JB

THE DOORS AND LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. I BOUGHT A NEW 1993 CHEV BLAZER. IN 1995 THE BACK STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPEN. I COULD OPEN THE WINDOW BUT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. NEXT IN 1997 THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ANY MORE. IT IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. NOW THE DRIVER DOOR IS STICKING. OUT OF 5 DOORS ONLY 2 WORK CORRECTLY. A BASIC FEATURE SUCH AS DOORS BEING ABLE TO OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT IS A MAJOR CONCERN. *JB

I HAVE A 93 S10 BLAZER AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. THE ECMB FUSE WAS BLOWN AND WOULD BLOW OUT WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD BE TURNED ON. I FINALLY TRACKED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN I REMOVED THE GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT THE FUEL PUMP, THE WIRE INSIDE THE TANK WERE WELDED TOGETHER AND THE PLUG ON THE END OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS MELTED (FUSED) TOGETHER. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT THESE INTERNAL COMPONENTS CAN GET HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THEY COULD EASILY CAUSE THE TANK TO EXPLODE. ALSO THE WIRING IS ATTACHED TO THE SENDING UNIT AND TO REPLACE BOTH OF THESE COMPONENTS IT WILL COST OVER $600 JUST FOR PARTS. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND A NASTY HAZARD, SOMEBODY MAY BE KILLED. *JB

SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT, VEHICLE CUT OFF. NAR 06/18/2003 *MR *CB

ABS BRAKE FAILURE - AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP OR RAILROAD TRACK WHEN COMING TO A STOP THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. PUMPING OF THE PEDAL WILL NOT GET THE PEDAL HEIGHT BACK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL CONTINUE TO GO TO THE FLOOR FOR AS MANY TIMES AS I APPLY THE BRAKES. AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR HALF A DAY OR LONGER, THE PEDAL WILL RETURN TO A HIGH PEDAL AND EVERYTHING SEEMS OKAY. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR. *AK
