Had it checked out at the dealership, told it was leaking no pressure test confirmed. No visible leaks at home, have to add coolant every once in a while and I can smell it. Now we are getting the engine lights TC off, Steering assist reduced be careful message. It all started with a CEL and we had it looked at and was told we needed a new radiator but it would cost over $1200. The car has 48,000 miles on it and this started around 42,000. We bought this for a family as a brand new car and it’s unbelievable. We love the car but we are scared for the reliability and safety of owning it. Also the cost to repair issues that happen on there own that seem like a manufacture defect is a real concern.

GM doesn't manufacture tires, so the problem with your tires doesn't fall upon them. The radiator is a problem for GM.
Actually the bulletin is about how GM allowed the tires to sit too long and caused procurement. It causes a slit in the tires and belt to break and yes this happened to me and GM claimed liability.

AH, didn't realize that was the problem with them.

I just had the outlet housing sensor replaced 6 weeks ago due to the engine light coming on and getting the steering assist reduced showing up on the dash. I started smelling antifreeze after getting it back from the dealership so I took it in this morning to have it checked out and was told the radiator is leaking at the tank seam and now needs replaced. Love this Blazer but not so sure so sure about it anymore with issues starting at 50,000 miles.
I had my radiator replaced 6 months ago and now my sensor is bad. I only have 40,000 miles on mine
