A/c and defrost did not work but no time for it to be in shop for first summer. Read some on here and saw "clogged heater core" with very expensive repairs. Took to local repair shop I use. They checked it out and had it back in less than 4 hours. Clogged heater core due to chemical makeup of longlife antifreeze.
Strong fuel smell in vehicle when filling fuel tank. 2000 chevrolet s blazer. No smell if tank is filled less than 3/4 full.
Traveling slow on a city street. On turning a corner, the left front wheel collapsed under the car. This momentarily threw the vehicle out of control but was quickly recovered.
