1/10/2018, While driving on i-96, suv suddenly lost power in the middle lane at 72mph. I coasted vehicle to a stop in that lane, as heavy traffic would not allow me to pull over. My family of four were in that suv when the fuel delivery system failed. The fuel pump stopped working without warning.

I purchased this vehicle in february 2015 with 71,000 - the body was very well kept inside and out. What I didn't know was the extensive amount of rust and corrosion under the vehicle, which did not show initially. I have only had same a little over a year and have had to already replace front arm joints because they snapped in half and my tire was sitting crooked and in danger of falling off!!

I attempted to let off and re apply the brake but the abs system just stayed engaged and the front end started sliding hard to the left and I steered away from the pull. I subsequently...

AIRBAG RECALL. *TR

My 03 blazer has had its airbag lights on for some time now and I'm worried that if I get into a crash my airbags wont deploy, I'm scared also to see so many complaints along the same lines as mine. This problem needs to be addressed by the nhtsa or by gm before someone is killed or injured badly. A recall is needed! *Tr

Was hit by right side impact by a truck without brakes at a stop light. It was going 40 mph. Coming down hill as I took off at stop light . Pushed across 3 lanes of traffic. Air bags did not deploy ! Also I was hit on front right side panel . It later caused my instrument panel to not display the lights on warnings . Had to replace the panel . That's when I was informed that air bags will not deploy at all ! But flashes on and off as you drive. *Js

Noticed brake fluid on floor of my garage. Found that the brake line to the rear brakes was rusted and leaking. Gm dealer said it was out of warranty so I paid a local garage to install new brake line. It has failed again, 98,000, while I was driving. Lost braking ability. I find that gm will sell me a set of brake lines for $500 and I can have them installed anywhere I want to. Considering the current gm situation with the ignition switch I think they should be made to recall all effected vehicles and fix their rusting brake lines. *Tr

My 2003 chevy blazer has had a faulty fuel gauge since the vehicle was purchased. It was taken into moran chevrolet in clinton township mi once for warranty repairs but the problem was never fixed.
