2001 Chevrolet Blazer LT from North America - Comments

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.

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.

Sounds like most of your problems were with the service technicians, not your vehicle.

I wish you would have stated how you found out the injectors were to blame. I think all auto techs have to sometimes guess at what they are doing. These were wrong and you had to pay for it. If you read other sites of other manufactures it's the same. Shame to blame the alarm folks. Helps to Know a good shop, but that means you had trouble and that's how you found them!!
