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.
While driving in the parking lot of lowes, the door hinge on drivers side failed along with latch allowing it fall off. Making door unclosable and car undrivable. After taking it to repair shop, mechanic showed me several other 2004 Chevy Blazer with the exact same hinge failure. He has repaired so many of them with the same problem he concluded it must be a defect. Repair cost for this are estimated at $1K as the hinge must be replaced and re enforced, along with the drivers door and locking latch.
Blazer feels as if it is going to roll over in high winds, shakes, on the highway you feel like you are on a roller coaster ride. Blazer are supposedly the deadiest vehicles on the road today.
Water somehow gets into the B-pillar of the driver's side when it rains or the vehicle gets put through the carwash. Customer noticed the seat belt was soaked when pulled out. Customer is worried about seat belt strength diminishing and failing in an accident. Since the belt is wet all the way to the end when pulled out, the mechanism that ravels up the belt must be wet also. Rusting and mechanism failure could result. Seatbelt also is mildewing and starting to smell.
