- while driving the 1997 Chevrolet Blazer through a car wash, water began to enter the front driver's side door. On another occasion, while driving with the windows up, the contact could feel the wind as if the windows were open. A mechanic stated that this occurred frequently in this model truck. The contact feared that the doors will open and he will fall off the vehicle while driving.
While having recall repairs performed, the dealership indicated that the hinge pin on the driver side door was loose, which could result in the door not staying shut and flying open while driving, per dealership.
Most recently we had to replace the hinge on the front door, driver side, it failed and fell on to the ground. To replace it cost us $43 at a body shop, the dealership wanted $300 to replace it. When the Blazer was brand new I took it back to the dealership they told me that it was dry and lubricated it, they told me to use wd-40. When we had it replaced the body shop found the door frame at the strike plate had broken and deteriorated making it impossible to lock the door. The body shop told us that the second problem probably cause the first problem. The factory rep said it was my fault because I must of closed the door to hard and that it was our problem. To repair the second problem will cost us $300. The other problem is the passenger door inside panel has broken loose. Also the back passenger door inside panel is also cracked which resulted in the speaker on that door not working. The factory rep said that was our fault also. I feel that these are defects that shouldn't have happened.
While driving, consumer can hear and feel outside air coming from driver's side door. Upon visual inspection, noticed that door hinge is pulling away from frame.
Doors are falling off. The hinges are tearing off the truck like they were glued on. Passenger door is rubbing and is ready to fall off. Drivers door spring popped off and now that hinge is ready to pull away from the truck.
