Retired Block Count

My Sandisk Extreem 240gb has 100 retired blocks. Was giving me BSOD,  Chkdsk runs to around 20% and then stays there finding bad blocks.

I called Sandisk and the rep had me run the Sandisk SSD Tool kit and the Smart status shows Pass, despite numerous erors that are above the threshold.   I sent them copies of the several run of chkdsk reporting numerous errors.   They would not replace the SSD and a told me t o run Diskpart, clean the disk and reinstall the OS. 

So they want me to install the OS and all my apps and settings, to have t he SSD crash and give me the BSOD again?

They are ignoring all the facts and what there own SSD Toolkit says.  I find this very customer unfriendly and counterproductive.
