I WAS OUT LATE IN A DESOLATE AREA-NO HOUSES-NO STORES. I SMELLED BURNING RUBBER SO BAD I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. I HAD NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I WAS TERRIFIED, I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN-FEMALE ALONE. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE ONCE IT WAS PARKED. MY MECHANIC WAS KIND ENOUGH TO PICK IT UP. THE DEALER WOULD NOT. IT WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. IT COST ME $466.26. I WAS TRULY TERRIFIED. *TR

SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE IN 10/2006, WE HAD HESITATION AND STALLING PROBLEMS. WITH A 2003 CHEVY BLAZER.

FINALLY THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP IN JULY 2008 -- TOTAL COST OVER $3,000. CONSTANT HESITATION WITH THE VEHICLE, AND AT LEAST A FEW DOZEN STALLING EPISODES WITH A COUPLE OF THEM HAPPENING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY IN NEW JERSEY DURING BUSINESS TRIPS.
