Multifunction switch has failed twice on a 2000 model chevy blazer. the first time was at 33939 mileage in march 01. was replaced under warrenty. this same multifuciton switch failed again in dec. 01 at 48659 mileage. had to file claim with extended warrenty, dealer told me the part was only good for 12months/12k milesage. i do not believe this switch should be malfunctioning at this interval and that i have to pay for the replacement. the brake lights no long work and there is no warning of this safty problem, someone had to stop me in traffic to tell me i had no brake lights. the dealer also informed me that many other chevy blazers have been in with the same switch failure but no bullentins have been issued by gm. i do not want to have this happen again in another 15k miles or less. this is a real safty issue because you have no brake lights and have no way of knowing this.*ak

Brake lights go thru turn signal switch defective. costs to replace $500.00. *ak

Since purchase of vehicle oct 2000 i have been in the shop 35 x for manufacturing problems. ongoing problems include dimming of headlights at any given time and flickering of clock/radio display at any given time. service attempted to fix the dimming and flickering by replacing the alternator, but it did not fix the problem. they are now unable to duplicate the problem. it took service 5 attempts to fix taillight water retention problem (they sealed the entire assembly). the rear differential fluid was reportedly low from factory causing a grinding sound in my gears (it took 2 attempts to fix that problem). since that differential problem, i have had a clunk between 2nd & 3rd gears (service is unable to duplicate the problem).
