2000 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, WHEN THE PEDAL IS AT REST. THE STICKING CAUSES THE DRIVER TO PUSH A LITTLE HARDER TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR. THE ACCELERATOR THEN BREAKS LOOSE AND THE DRIVER HAS AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED HEAVILY EVENTHOUGH THIS IS NOT DESIRED. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AT START UP ONLY. WHILE BACKING IN A PARKING LOT, OUT OF A SPACE, THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE. UPON APPLYING INCREASING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE PEDAL FINALLY GAVE WAY AND WAS PROBABLY DEPRESSED 1-2 INCHES. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROCKET BACKWARD. MY WIFE QUICKLY HIT THE BRAKES BEFORE BACKING INTO THE NEXT ROW OF CARS, AND ANY PEDESTRIANS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN NEAR. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY RESULTED. I HAVE SINCE DUPLICATED IT TWICE. IT ALWAYS STICKS SOMEWHAT UPON TAKEOFF, BUT MY WIFE HAS BEGUN TO COMPENSATE FOR IT. I RARELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SHE WILL DRRIVE ANOTHER VEHICLE UNTIL WE GET THIS FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION/DEFECT/ENGINEERING DESIGN WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS A 36K MILE WARRANTY, PLUS A PURCHASED 60K WARRANTY. I CONTACTED TWO AREA DEALERS, NOT THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM. BERGER CHEVROLET IN GRAND RAPIDS, AND JOHN DECKER CHEVROLET IN ROCKFROD, MI BOTH HAVE TOLD ME TO MY AMAZEMENT THAT THIS IS A "GENERAL MAINTENANCE" ISSUE. THEY SAY IT IS COMMON ON MANY BLAZERS, BUT SOME DO NOT REQUIRE THE SERVICE. THIS TELLS ME THAT SOME ARE DEFECTIVE, SOME MAY NOT BE. DECKER CHARGES $50 AND BERGER CHARGES $110 FOR SLIGHTLY

TOLD BY DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. WE HAVE TO PAY APPROX. $ 800.00 TO HAVE THE FREQUENCY PART OF SECURITY PANIC SYSTEM REPLACED. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY. THE HORN IS CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AT VARIOUS PLACES. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE HORN FUSE IN ORDER TO KEEP BATTERY FROM BEING RUN DOWN. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?*AK

A MECHANISM WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LOSE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THE MECHANISM. NLM HAZARD, TURN SIGNAL AND STOP LAMPS ARE ALSO INOPERATIVE. CONSUMER HAS FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION. *TT

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE BLAZER WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE, 2ND AND 4TH GEAR. AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THAT HE HAS FIXED AT LEAST SIX 1999 AND 2000 MODEL YEAR BLAZERS IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS THAT HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AT PHONE # 1-800-222-1020. CHEVROLET'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT CHEVROLET WOULD COVER THE REPAIR IN FULL AND IF THEY DIDN'T THEN CHEVROLET WOULD PAY FOR HALF. OBVIOUSLY IF THE MANUFACTURER IS WILLING TO DO THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD THEN THEY ARE ADMITTING THAT THERE IS A FAULTY PART. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FOUR-WHEELING. IT IS DRIVEN BY MY WIFE TO THE SCHOOL WHERE SHE TEACHES THAT IS ABOUT 40 - 50 MILES ROUND-TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE. THE DEALER SAID THE REPAIR COSTS WAS $1,040.86 AND THAT THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST WITH ME. THE REVERSE REACTION SHELL PART IS LESS THAN $50 AND IF A SEAL KIT WAS NEEDED (WHICH IT WASN'T) IS ANOTHER $160. LABOR RANGES FROM THE "BOOK" FROM 6.6 HOURS AT THE INDEPENDENT SHOP TO 8.4 HOURS AT THE DEALER. BESIDES BEING GOUGED ON THE REPAIR COSTS BY THE DEALER, MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS CRITICAL TRANSMISSION PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CIRCUMSTANCES. I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES IF THE FAILURE

WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WILL DIM, RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY AT NIGHT.*AK DEALER REPLACED HEADLAMP SWITCH, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXIST. POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND APPLYING BRAKES. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN COLD. DEALER REPLACED BELT AND TENSIONER ASSEMBLY. *TT

UNIROYAL, 235 60R15, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, 31000 MILES MOUNTED ON A CHEVROLET, BLAZER, 2000. RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH, THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *AK *YH

OIL PRESSURE DROPPED FROM 40 TO 20 TO 0. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAMSHAFT SHIFTED WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE CAR WAS A YEAR OLD AND I AM STILL HAVING HTE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR RUNNING POORLY AND GETTING LOUSY GAS MILEAGE.*AK

I LEARNED OF A RECALL OF 2000 AND 2001 GM VEHICLES RELATING TO BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY REFUSE TO HONOR OR ISSUE RECALL STATING MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED OR COVERED BY VIN. IT'S REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK DESPITE REPLACEMENT OF ALL BULBS AND FUSES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING WITH SPEED CONTROL ON, VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, KNOCKING CONSUMER OUT. VEHICLE CRASHED AND CONSUMER WAS INJURED. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG IS WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. *SLC

WHEN THE COMFORT CONTROL SYSTEM MODE KNOB IS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION, THE FRONT FLOOR OUTLETS DIRECT HOT AIR THROUGH THESE LOWER VENTS. MOVING THE TEMPERATURE KNOB TO BLUE (COLDEST AREA) HAS NO EFFECT. WARM HOT AIR CONTINUES TO VENT WITH SYSTEM IN OFF POSITION. WHILE THE OWNER'S MANUEL ADVISES THAT WHEN MODE KNOB IS IN THE OFF POSITION "SOME OUTSIDE AIR WILL STILL ENTER THE VEHICLE". IT IS VERY HOT AIR NOT OUTSIDE AIR THAT ENTERS THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO ISOLATE THE HOT AIR IS TO NEVER SELECT "OFF" ON MODE SWITCH, AND SELECTING EITHER AIR CONDITIONING OR VENT POSITION (SELECTING THE LATTER SHUTS OFF THE HOT AIR FLOOR VENTS BUT THEN INSTRUMENT PANEL VENTS MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY CLOSED TO STOP AIR FLOW . I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS ADVISED "NPF, NO PROBLEM FOUND". I BELIEVE ONE SERVICE MANAGER WAS MOST CORRECT IN ADVISING THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN FAULT BY CHEVROLET. I CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF BLAZER OWNERS IN WEB SITE AUTO CHAT ROOM THAT ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THIS FLAW. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE AIR IS SO HOT THAT EVEN WHEN ARTIFICIALLY ISLOTED BY NON-STANDARD VENTILATION CONTROL SELECTIONS, THERE MAY BE DAMAGE UNDER THE PANELS OR TO THE VENTILATION OR ELECTRICAL SYTEMS. *AK

FUEL PUMP PROVIDES LOW FUEL PRESSURE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO HAVE NO ACCELERATION. ASIF IT WERE TRYING TO TAKE OFF IN THIRD GEAR.*AK

WHEN VEHICLE HITS A BUMP, THE STEERING GETS VERY LOOSE. CONSUMER FEELS UNSAFE BECAUSE IF BALL JOINTS BREAK FROM STEERING WHEEL BEING SO LOOSE, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *AK *JB

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED INSIDE OF VEHICLE WOULD OVERHEAT UP TO 120 DEGREES. THIS CAUSED DRIVER'S LEGS TO BECOME VERY RED.

MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS FAILED TWICE ON A 2000 MODEL CHEVY BLAZER. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 33939 MILEAGE IN MARCH 01. WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRENTY. THIS SAME MULTIFUCITON SWITCH FAILED AGAIN IN DEC. 01 AT 48659 MILEAGE. HAD TO FILE CLAIM WITH EXTENDED WARRENTY, DEALER TOLD ME THE PART WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 12MONTHS/12K MILESAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS SWITCH SHOULD BE MALFUNCTIONING AT THIS INTERVAL AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS NO LONG WORK AND THERE IS NO WARNING OF THIS SAFTY PROBLEM, SOMEONE HAD TO STOP ME IN TRAFFIC TO TELL ME I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MANY OTHER CHEVY BLAZERS HAVE BEEN IN WITH THE SAME SWITCH FAILURE BUT NO BULLENTINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY GM. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 15K MILES OR LESS. THIS IS A REAL SAFTY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THIS.*AK

BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AFTER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. MECHANIC TOLD ME I SHOULD TAKE TRUCK BACK TO DEALER SINCE MY REAR SHOCKS WERE VERY WET (LEAKING) AND THEY ARE SEALED AND SHOULD NOT LEAK. BROUGHT TO DEALER, NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO LOOK AT IT (SINCE THEY'D PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THEM SINCE THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY) BUT TOLD ME "CHEVROLET HAS STATED THAT A LITTLE SEEPAGE IS NORMAL". PROBLEM CONTINUES NOW, WITH 43K MILES ON IT, AND THEY ARE FAR FROM "A LITTLE WET" - BUT COMPLETELY BLACK (AND THEY'RE YELLOW SHOCKS) - CONSTANTLY WET, AND TRUCK RIDES LIKE THERE ARE NO SHOCKS. WILL BRING BACK TO DEALER AGAIN, AND OF COURSE, NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, GUARANTEE HE'LL TELL ME THEIR BAD.*AK

TIRE IN CARY, NC, 919 872-0786, HE AND HIS SUPPLIER ARE AWARE OF THE BROAD MF SWITCH FAILURES WHICH CAUSE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND COULD NOW BE THE MAIN FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO MANY ACCIDENTS.
