Chevy Blazer




Advertisement

Kenneth of Chesterfield VA (8/22/03):
I have a 1995 Chevy S-10 Blazer 2 wheel drive. Ball joint on left side of vehicle broke while traveling at 45 mph. I skidded off the road to the shoulder. The repair shop said that both ball joints were shot and just a matter of time before the other side went. They also indicated that the S-10 series Blazers, GMC's, and the like all seem to have ball joint problems early on in their miles. Even some with ball joint problems at 9,000 mi. What's up with that. I haven't seem any recall notices for this problem?

What conerns me the most, I was driving over 65 mph several minutes earlier in heavy traffic and what the outcome might have been if the ball joint broke on the freeway.

Vanessa of Gadsden AL (6/10/03):
My Chevrolet Blazer had a "special policy" recall about soldering being faulty on the windshield wiper motor. A couple of months before I received this letter from Chevrolet, I was in an accident because my wipers stopped working during a rainstorm while I was taking my daughter to school one morning. I had to pay out-of-pocket to have my vehicle repaired because I carry only liability insurance.

I believe I am entitled to a refund from Chevrolet for the amount of repair because of the problem with the manufactoring of their vehicle that caused the accident. I have all paperwork, police reports, etc that will be needed.

My 7-year-old daughter was terrorized & scared to death, no serious injury. I also had a 2-year-old in the vehicle with me. I have had serious neck & back pain since this accident...I have been under a doctor's care for my back & neck.

Vanessa should sue GM in Small Claims Court for actual damages to the vehicle and any medical bills she incurred. It's the most economical way to recover her damages.
