97 BLAZER WITH ORIGINAL LOW MILES HAD ENGINE STOP BOTH ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WOULD START BACK UP. IN JAN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND RPMS WENT UP. WE PULLED OFF AND FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 3'RD GEAR. ALSO KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE TO REMOVE. ERRORS CAME UP P1860 P0785 AND P740 THAT REFER TO TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT TRANSMISSION BUT IGNITION SWITCH CONTACT BLOCK COMMONLY CALLED THE IGNITION SWITCH, IT IS THE CONTACT SECTION AND NOT THE KEY OR LOCK CYLINDER. THIS IGNITION SWITCH HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. GM HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN #17006264 ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ACROSS MANY YEARS AND MODELS BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM CAN CAUSE ENGINE TO DIE, LIGHTS TO GO OUT AND OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THE CONTACT FOR THE TRANSMISSION POWER SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE POINT. I REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR ONE MONTH AND THEN THE PROB

I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE MY TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO START BUT THE ENGINE WOULD TURN SO I KNEW IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS DID WORK. I THEN NOTICED MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE NOT ON SO I FOUND THAT VERY STRANGE. AFTER SO MANY TIMES TRYING TO START MY TRUCK I NOTICED MY TRUCK WOULD ONLY TURN ON IF THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON. ONE NIGHT AFTER WORK I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 83 IN ILLINOIS AND I WAS GOING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON TO ROUTE 53 AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. LUCKILY I W,A ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE. IT WAS AT MIDNIGHT, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AT THE TIME AND I WAS NOT GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND MY VEHICLE WORKS PERFECTLY FINE NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 1997 CHEVY BLAZER, I WAS TURNING TO THE LEFT OFF THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH. I APPLIED MY BRAKES WHICH STARTED MY DECELERATION, SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL ONE MORE TIME WITH NO RESISTANCE. I HAD TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND STARTED MAKING LARGE S-TURNS TO BURN OFF THE SPEED AND MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER I FINALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE I CHECKED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE METAL BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAVE BURST ON THIS 1997 CHEVY BLAZER. THE LAST TIME THE REAR MAIN BRAKE LINE BURST. *TR

I JUST PICKED UP MY 1997 CHEVY BLAZER OCT 31, 2012 WITH 79000 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF CORROSION BUILDUP ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY YESTERDAY, WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. UNDER CLOSER INSPECTION, I FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AND HAD BURST. NOW I CANNOT DRIVE MY BLAZER UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED. WITH THIS LEAK, I INSPECTED THE REST OF MY BRAKE LINES TO WHICH I'VE FOUND BOTH MY FRONT BRAKE LINES IN A SEVERELY CORRODED STATE AS WELL WAITING TO BURST. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
