This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer.three of the seatbelts are malfunctioning. The drivers seat belt buckle quit working.the front driver and passenger and the rear passenger seat belt retractors also quit working.
Rear driver's side shoulder belt buckle broke into pieces;, leaving consumer without any retraint. Dealer notified, and infomed consumer that vehicle was not covered under recall97V096001, and any repairs/replacement would be at consumer's cost.
At stop light when rearended by another vehicle seat belt did not lock up, did not restrain driver who slid under dashboard. Steering prevented complete slippage. Vehicle at body shop.
After 3 months of consumer's purchase when applying the ABS brakes the vehicle does not stop within feets. The ABS would allow the vehicle 4-5 Blazer distances before stopping. On 4-3-97 the seat belts stopped locking. Also, when the engine is running and hood opened one can see a spray mist of gasoline misting from the engine, the smell is penetrating into the inside compartnment and is unconfortable to consumer. Please give consumer a call. Vehicle is parked at this time.
