2001 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America

"Loved it at first, but no longer have trust in it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Truck began to stall on major highways. When I brought it for service, it would not start at all. Was still under warranty.

Dealer claimed it to be fault of aftermarket alarm melting my coil wire. This has been proven to be false. The brownish area they claimed was burnt on the alarm wire was a type of glue used at installation. Cost was $170.

Then I broke down 10 minutes away from dealer on the way home.

Called Chevy 800 phone number and requested to bring it to a different service center since I had previous problems with the initial one, and they agreed.

Service center 2 again blamed alarm, but claimed it had clogged my catalytic converter and I needed $2300 of non warranty work to get truck to run. I initially agreed until less than 12 hours later I found out that most of work was not necessary. I asked them not to work on it, and they told me too late except for the converter.

Have since found it to be computer controlling my injectors, overloading them with fuel. I have had the alarm manufacturer certify, technically, why it is not their product. So far for unneeded repairs, rental cars, and a new catalytic converter, I am out over $2000. Have not fixed the injector problem yet, cannot afford it.

General comments?

GM will not claim responsibility. The 800 phone number backs up the dealer. They will not cover under warranty. I still have a truck that has no power.
