- Electrical system
THE ELECTRICAL DOESN'T WORK IN MY TRUCK ANY MORE. THE DASH DOESN'T LIGHT AND EVERY TIME I CHANGE THE FUSE IT BLOWS. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN AFFORD TO GET THIS FIX AND IS MISSING UP MY BREAK LIGHTS ALSO. I HAVE READ A LOT OF ARTICLES THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH 2008 CHEVY BLAZERS.
- Exterior lighting
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,400.

THE CAR WAS PARKED. GOT OUT OF CAR AND CLOSED DOOR ALL DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WITH KEYS INSIDE
- Steering
WHEN TURNING ONTO MY RESIDENTIAL STREET I HAD SEVERE VIBRATION IN STEERING. I PARKED SUV BECAUSE IT WAS DARK. THE NEXT MORNING SUV WAS TAKEN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT BOTH HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE LINES HAD RUSTED IN TWO, UNDER CLAMP ATTACHED TO LEFT FENDER WELL THAT HOLDS LINES IN PLACE. DEALERSHIP BLAMED SALT AND ROAD MOISTURE FOR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH CLAMP IS LOCATED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR TOP OF FENDER WELL. REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT OF LINES WERE $925. *TR
