2000 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ ACCURATELY. WHEN I FILL THE TANK THE GAUGE GOES TO FULL. IT SEEM TO READ ACCURATELY UNTIL GETTING TO HALF TANK. AT THAT TIME IT REMAINS RIGHT AT HALF FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH FURTHER I DRIVE. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS A VERY UNSAFE POSSIBILITY! THE REPAIR FOR THE SENDING UNIT WAS QUOTED TO ME $750 WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *LA

FUEL GAUGE FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. TRUCK HAS NO GAS, YET GAUGE SHOWS OVER A QUARTER TANK. SOMETIMES GAUGE FLUCTUATES FROM FULL TO EMPTY RANDOMLY WITHOUT REASON AFTER BELOW HALF A TANK. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES ON HIGHWAY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COSTLY REPAIR. I KNOW PLENTY OF OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AS WELL AS SEEING NUMEROUS POSTINGS. *LA

DURING A 15 MPH REAR END COLLISION FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CDEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH CONSUMER SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS. CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. CONSUMER LIFTED UP THE HOOD, AND THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER DID NOT OPEN. CONSUMER CALLED FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. NOW FRONT WHEEL HUB BEARING IS MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE.*AK

2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER 4X4. FAILURE OF FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT - RESULTING IN CAR STALLING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS CAUSING HAZARD IN TRAFFIC. PARTS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP, TOTAL COST OVER $1,000. *AK

FUEL GUAGE FAILURE ON 2000 BLAZER. TEENAGE SON STRANDED ON MIDDLE FREEWAY LANE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. GUAGE SHOWED FUEL. TANK EMPTY. ESTIMATED REPAIRS= $600.00. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO FRIENDS WITH SAME YEAR CHEVROLETS. INTERNET FULL OF COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND A VERY COSTLY REPAIR THAT MANY CANNOT AFFORD. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. I AM SUBMITTING THE SAME COMPLAINT FOR 1997 CHEVROLET!*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM IN ADDITION, CONSUMER EXPERIENCED VIBRATING WHEN STOPPING. DEALER PERFORMED FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SERVICE BY REPLACING WORN OUT PADS AND ROTORS. DEALER ALSO MADE REPAIRS ON LOWER BALL JOINTS, PITMAN AND IDLER ARM ASSEMBLY. *LA

I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS IN MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT (VIN [XXX]). EACH REPLACEMENT COST WAS $238.00, INCLUDING LABOR. THE BEARINGS SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED REPLACED WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT. I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH THIS AND WANT TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

UPON APPROACHING THE DRIVEWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A NOISE. STEERING WHEEL FELT FUNNY. ALSO, FRONT LEFT TIRE TURNED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT VEHICLE WAS GOING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE SKIDDED. CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE LEFT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT CAME APART, AND THE FRONT RIGHT BALL JOINTS WERE STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE SAME FAILURE. THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. MEANWHILE, WHILE DRIVING IN OVER DRIVE MODE, THE OVER DRIVE DISENGAGED AND VEHICLE SPEED WAS REDUCED FROM A RAPID PACE TO A VERY LOW SPEED. THIS FAILURE ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID.*AK

CONSUMER FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS ERROR CODES ON HIS 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER. (NAR) *PH PROBLEMS AS FOLLOWS WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON, DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND REPLACED BRAKE PADS. *CB

OUR TIRES, UNIROYAL NAIL GARD TIGER PAW P235/70R15, WERE VERY NEW, THEY HAD EXCELLENT TREAD LEFT. I NOTICED A "WOBBLE" DEVELOPING AND W/IN A FEW DAYS THE TIRE EXPLODED. THE BACK LEFT TIRE TREAD SEPERATED. OUR FUEL LINE WAS TORN OUT, THE INNER WALL OF OUR WHEEL WELL WAS BROKEN UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE W/OUT OUR VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS. THE REPAIR SHOP INFORMED US THAT OUR TIRES HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED SO WE RECEIVED A DIFFERNT TYPE OF UNIROYAL TIRE. IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US. I HAVE NOTICED THE "WOBBLE" AGAIN. WE ARE GETTING NEW TIRES TOMORROW. OUR COMPLAINTS TO UNIROYAL WERE IGNORED. THEY GAVE NO REASON FOR THE DISCONTINUATION OF THE TIRES. I WONDER WHY IT IS OK TO LET PEOPLE CONTINUE DRIVING AROUND ON TIRES THAT COULD KILL THEM? WHY DOESN'T THIS GOVERNMENT WEBSITE DO ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS? MAYBE WHEN SOMEONE DIES THEY WILL. WON'T THAT BE A NICE LAW SUIT? *AK

FUEL INJECTORS ON CHEVROLET BLAZERS ~ ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS THE MODULATOR WHICH I HAD REPLACED THEN 6 FUEL INJECTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS THAT THE INJECTORS ARE FAULTY BUT TO DATE NO "RECALL". ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK

OIL COOLER LINES WERE RUBBING ON WIRING HARNESS IN LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. THE RUBBING CAUSED A HOLE IN THE OIL LINES RESULTING IN LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE AND OIL. AFTER GETTING THIS FIXED I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. AFTER INSPECTING THE REPAIRS I NOTICED A NEW ASSEMBLY SEPERATING THE LINES WHICH WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMLEY DISSATISFIED THAT I HAD TO COVER THE REPAIRS, I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. IF IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES WITH OIL AND MAKE THE VEHICLE UNCONTOLLABLE. *AK

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT ASSEMBLY RECLINER BROKE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO USE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT BY READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS VERY ISSUE. WHY NO RECALL?*AK

SENDING UNIT/FUEL PUMP BROKE SO MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. GAS GAUGE WORKS FROM FULL TO HALF A TANK OF FUEL. FROM HALF TO EMPTY THE GAUGE DOESN'T MOVE. I JUST WANT TO SEE IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. RUNNING OUT OF GAS COULD BE DANGEROUS. *JB

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SLOW ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE T SPEED ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH. CONSUMER HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THERE WERE 35-60 SECOND DELAYS BEFORE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHO REPLACED SEVERAL OTHER COMPONENTS, BUT THEY DID NOT ADDRESS THE SLOW ACCELERATION PROBLEM.*AK

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR COMES OUT OF ALIGNMENT. DOOR HAD BEEN REPAIRED TWICE. HOWEVER, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY LATCHED WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHT FOR SEAT BELT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO A BACK ORDER. *AK

THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE DIDN'T REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. IT WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH ERRATICALLY, DROPPING DOWN TO E WITH A "FUEL LOW" WARNING AND THEN IMMEDIATELY GOING BACK UP TO F. MY MECHANIC HAD TO PUT IN A NEW FUEL SENDER AND PUMP AT A COST OF $670.00. *NM

HAVE PUT 3 BATTERIES IN CAR THAT'S 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. HAVE REPLACED PASSENGER HUB ASSEMBLY. HAVE REPLACED LEAKING OIL LINES. CONSTANT CARBON BUILD-UP ON THROTTLE. CAR SOMETIMES "DIES" WITH NO REASON. BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, BUT NORMALLY CRANKS AGAIN. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE CLUELESS. ALL THIS HAS OCCURED IN 3 1/2 YEARS AND I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW.*AK

THERE WAS ROARING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHEN CONSUMER ACCELERATED. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE NOISE WAS DUE TO THE BEARINGS. HUB AND THE BEARING ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED.*AK

I HAD THE FRONT RECLINER FIXED AND AT A LATER DATE HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT RECLINER FIXED. NOW 22 MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT RECLINER IS BROKEN AGAIN. I AM NOT ROUGH WITH MY SEATS AND I THINK THAT THIS IS REDICULOUS THAT THESE KEEP BREAKING. THE COST TO GET THESE FIXED IS AROUND 140.00 EACH. I DON'T THINK THAT I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT AGAIN. I DON'T BELEIVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO FIX EVERY 2 YEARS.*AK

CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO ONCE GAIN, REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIRS. *AK

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR DOES NOT WORK. *LA

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT OIL WAS ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE OIL LINE WAS LEAKING. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER.

THE OIL COOLER LINES ARE LEAKING ON MY 2000 BLAZER( WITH ONLY 54,248 MILES). THE MECHANIC WHO CHANGED THE OIL TODAY STATED THAT HE HAS YET TO SERVICE A BLAZER THAT DIDN'T HAVE LEAKING LINES EVENTUALLY. INTERESTING! HE ALSO STATED THAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IF THIS IS NOT THE PROPER PLACE TO REPORT THIS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. PERHAPS YOU CAN ALSO DIRECT ME TO THE CORRECT PLACE. THANK YOU.

FUEL GAUGE SWINGS BETWEEN ? AND FULL AND STICKS AT HALF.

WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THE BRAKES WENT OUT, THE ROTORS WERE PEELING LIKE HUNGRY MAN BISCUITS, REPLACEMENT OF ALL 4 ROTORS AND SHOES WERE DONE, ABS STILL NOT WORKING. LOCAL CHEVY DEALER UNSURE OF PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES ON, CHEVY DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY. NOW AT 7 1/2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, TORQUE CONVERTER IS "COMING APART" ACCORDING TO AAMCO. IT HAS A TERRIBLE WHIN AND WE ARE HAVING IT LOOKED AT BY A LOCAL TRANSMISION SHOP TODAY (8/26/03). I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THIS SUV, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, SHOULD HAVE NOTICED SOME OF THIS HAPPENING OR STARTING TO HAPPEN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.

NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND OR FAILURES, BAD FUEL AND EXHAUST PROBLEMS, SUSPENSION POPS EXCESSIVELY, GAS PEDAL STICKS INTERMITTENTLY, RADIO REPLACED TWICE, ELECTRIC SEATS AND WINDOWS MALFUNCTION

1. SECUNDAIRY AIRPUMP 2. MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH (INITIAL RECALL NEVER REC'D, ONLY REIMBURSED FOR $218)

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON AND IDLES ROUGH SOMETIMES WON'T START. FUEL GUAGE SWINGS BACK AND FORTH NOT REGISTERING THE GAS LEVEL.GOES FROM EMPTY TO FULL.

THE SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT LEVERS BROKE ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THE METAL SHAFT IS DEFECTIVE. THE CHEVEROLET DEALER QUOTED $300 PER SEAT. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED #060601 FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA WEB SITE. CHEVEROLET WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE DRIVERS SEAT GETS BROKEN IN THE FULL RECLINE POSITION, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER.

OIL LEAKS WHERE OIL LINES CONNECT TO THE REMOTE OIL FILTER. MECHANIC INDICATED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHEVY SUV/TRUCKS WITH REMOTE OIL FILTER SYSTEMS. *LA

THE LEVER ON THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SEATS THAT RECLINES THE SEATS BACK. THEY SNAP RIGHT OFF. THEY HAVE REPLACED ONE AT COST NOW BOTH ARE BROKE. THE BAD THING IS IT HAPPENED TO ME OUT OF TOWN AND I HAD TO FIND SOME PILLOWS TO PROP ME UP ENOUGH TO DRIVE. NOW I HAVE TO USE PLIERS. BUT THIS CAN HAPPEN IF YOU TRY TO RECLINE A LITTLE BACK WHILE DRIVING AND MAY GO ALL THE WAY BACK AND YOU CAN'T GET IT BACK UP.*AK
