Faults:

Most notably the wheel bearings went after 85,000 miles on both sides costing upwards of a grand to fix when you factor in that the The ball joints went at almost the same time as well.

The usual broken seat handle and rear wiper that never works.

The brand new wheel bearing that I just replaced with a genuine GM product, decided to go again after about a year and 20,000 miles. (Must be that extra special batch)

General Comments:

It looks like everybody is catching on now because when I went to sell the vehicle I could not get any calls on it after advertising for 10 months. I let a 5 year old Blazer in great condition go for $4,000 because that's all anybody will pay for the rolling junk piles. They seem to be approaching the depreciation value of the Lincolns, you know the cars you pay 40k for, then 3 years later their worth $7k?. That's what GM's reduced this vehicle to.

Faults:

Passenger side recliner handle broke at the dealer when the dealer was cleaning it. They replaced it, and it broke again.

Glovebox door does not stay shut, I have to put a wedge a piece of plastic in it to keep the glovebox light from draining the battery.

Gas gauge stays at full for 70 or so miles, then plummets to 1/2 tank.

Handle that you pull to open the hood broke off, have to use pliers to pull wires to make the hood pop open. Eventually the wires kept breaking off so I had to chip away at the plastic surrounding them to get them long enough to pull again. Any suggestions on how to remedy this would be great.

Left rear seat does not go down.

Rear window hatch does not latch shut, flies open on the freeway.

Rear windshield wiper does not work. The motor keeps running on it, so I have to take out the fuse so it does not drain my battery.

If I lock my doors, it drains the battery and my alarm will randomly go off in the middle of the night or when I am at a store for 15 minutes.

Have had to replace alternator 3 times.

Replaced battery 4 times.

Replaced left and right wheel bearings 3 times.

Ball joints are bad, causing the inner ring of my front tires to wear down to wire after only 10,000 miles. I am saving up money to replace them, until then I just buy new tires.

Replaced muffler after 50,000 miles.

Replaced fuel pump at 140,000 miles; it is starting to go again, I have trouble keeping it started in the morning.

Coolant/Antifreeze system is leaking, just discovered a couple weeks ago. It leaves a nice puddle for me in the morning, have yet to get it fixed.

Drivers side seat belt does not retract automatically, gets caught in door if I don't retract it myself.

Drivers side door pin is loose, and falls out of place, making the door not shut. I have to put it back in every once in awhile.

General Comments:

Four wheel drive works great.

Heater works great.

Interior is comfortable and laid out well.

If it wasn't' for all of the problems I have had with it, I would love this truck.

I only have two years left to pay on this thing at $365/month. I hope it lasts that long, I put on a lot of miles delivering pizzas!
