FOR THREE YEARS IN THE SUMMERS I COULD NOT DRIVE FAR WITHOUT SMOKE TRICKLING UP BY THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD. NEVER HAPPENED IN THE WINTER. TOOK IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND TRANSMISSION SHOPS, NO ONE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS YEAR IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND I HAD TO JUNK THE VEHICLE. MY NEIGHBORS 2000 BLAZER IS DOING THE SAME THING NOW. *TR

POWER ACCESSORY CIRCUIT BREAKER BECOMES HOT, AND THEN POWER SEATS, DOOR LOCKS, MIRRORS AND KEYLESS ENTRY DO NOT WORK. THIS EXISTED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2008. I TRIED REPLACING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. ALSO, THE POWER MIRROR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS DAMAGED AND WAS REMOVED, SO THIS MAY NOT BE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL ON THE MIRRORS = TO INSTALL FUSED JUMPER HARNESS.) *TR
