2000 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

PURCHASED A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER FROM HARRY GREEN CHEV. IN BRIDGEPORT,WV.WE HAVE HAD A WATER LEAK COMING FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE WIND AND WATER COMES IN AROUND THE DOOR. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THEM NUMBEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING. THE LAST TIME WE TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS THERE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SHOULD STAND GOOD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEEMS AS IF THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN WRECKED BEOFRE WE PURCHASED IT BUT CAR FAX SAID THERE WASN'T NOTHING LISTED. WE STARTED OFF MAKING PAYMENTS AND THAT WAS FINE THEY WOULD MAKE REGULAR CHECK UPS BUT AS SOON AS WE PAID THE VEHICLE OFF IN FULL THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. THEY TOLD USE THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WON'T AND THEY WANT US TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE WINDSHIELD ALSO LOOKS AS IF IT MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *AK

HEATER CORE ON 2000 BLAZER LEAKED AROUND WELD.*AK

SEAT RECLINING ADJUST HANDLES ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS BROKE OFF.THEY WERE NOT HEAVELY USED.*AK

I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET BLAZER NEW AT THE END OF 1999 AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MUCH I KNOW ALL 15 OF THE MECHANICS BY THERE FIRST NAME. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES, THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACES, THE SEAT HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE, THE SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FROM LOCKING UP, THE FRONT END HAS HAD WORK DONE TO IT AND STILL IS NOT FIXED, THE REAR RIGHT SPEAKER DOES NOT WORK, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE GAS PETAL STICKS I HAFT TO CLEAN THE CARD AT LEAST EVERY MONTH, THE HEATER CORE HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND IT STILL DOES NOT GET HOT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE ORANGE ANTIFREEZE AND WAS TOLD THAT CHEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THEIR 5 YEAR ANTIFREEZE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A $500.00 ENGINE FLUSH THAT I COULD DO MY SHELF FOR $10.00 BUT I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS CORRODED UP INSIDE AND I WOULD NEED A NEW MOTOR AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED GM COMPLAINT LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEW OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT OFFER ME ANY HELP. THE COMPLAINT LINE WAS A JOKE AND A WASTE OF MY TIME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE. MY FIRST WAS A S10 AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER WITH 44,000 MILES. SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN JULY I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS THAT SEEM TO BE COMMON AMONG OWNS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THESE ITEMS SINCE THE CAR IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. SOME I CONSIDER TO BE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS: ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS, SEAT RECLINER HANDLE IS BROKEN, FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT ENGAGE. FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST OVER 3.5 YEARS OLD THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL PROBABLY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS AND WILL PROBABLY PURCHASE A EUROPEAN AUTO, THEIR ENGINEERING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO OUR US AUTOMAKERS. *AK

2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER LOWER BALL JOINTS THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 36,211 MILES AND THE JOINTS ARE WORN OUT. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS AND THEY ALSO HAD OR HAVE THIS PROBLEM.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR VEHICLE TO GO INTO THE REVERSE GEAR. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO BUCKLE THE REAR SEAT BELT BECAUSE THE PLATE GOT STUCK IN THE HOLSTER, AND THE HOLSTER WAS STUCK IN THE SEAT. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED OF BOTH FAILURES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS. *AK

REAR BRAKES WERE MAKING A LIGHT GRINDING NOISE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES BY THE MECHANIC, THEY NOTICED THAT THE REAR BRAKES/ FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, AND PADS WORE OUT PREMATURELY. *AK

I BOUGHT THIS BLAZER 5 MONTHS AGO AND IT ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY INLAWS TO THE AIRPORT ON SATURDAY MORNING, 11/29/03, AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, NO REVERSE, ONLY 1ST AND 2ND GEAR WORKS. I AM TOLD BY 3 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, WHY WASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? *NLM

2000 BLAZER STARTED SURGING. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF SURGING, ONE DAY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAY AND A FEW MINUTES LATER IT STALLED. IT RESTARTED BUT AFTER SEVERAL BLOCKS, IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS KEPT HAPPENING. CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA 67 MILES TO MY DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT THINKS IT IS PROBABLY THE FUEL PUMP. CAR IS STILL SURGING. AFTER 1.5 MONTHS CAR STALLED AGAIN WHILE IDLING IN A LINE OF CARS. IT RESTARTED AFTER SOME DIFFICULTY. I THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER CHEVROLET DEALER. AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL SOMETHING SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER OR CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND WON'T RESTART. SO I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT SHUT DOWN ON ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THERE WAS A VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VIBRATION WAS NORMAL. DEALER SHOWED CONSUMER DOCKET ID# 1381844, STATING THAT CHEVROLET WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS UNNECESSARY.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 BLAZER LT 4WD WITH 44,000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY STARTED EXPERIENCING VIBRATIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO A GM DOCUMENT, THERE IS NO FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO GM DOCUMENT ID# 1381844. THE DOCUMENT IS ENTITLED "VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS-SUSPENSION WHEEL #PI01273B - (09/15/2003). THE DOCUMENT EXPLAINS THE PROBLEM & SYMPTOMS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN MANY OF THESE DISCUSSIONS. THERE IS A LINE IN THIS DOCUMENT THAT READS: THIS VIBRATION IS CONSIDERED A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC FOR THESE VEHICLES AND NO REPAIR ATTEMPTS SHOULD BE MADE." THIS DOCUMENT COVERS 2 & 4WD DRIVE GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME BODY TYPES (I.E. BLAZERS, JIMMY, BRAVADA, S-10, ENVOY) AND COVERS YEARS 00 - 03. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR USE ON THE HIGHWAY!! IF THIS WAS "NORMAL" WHY DIDN'T THE VEHICLE DO THIS WHEN IT WAS NEW? I CALLED CHEVY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY VERIFIED THE DOCUMENT. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION AFTER THAT I GUESS I'M OUT OF LUCK. MY DEALER FOUND THE DOCUMENT AT THE FOLLOWING URL: HTTP://SERVICE.GM.COM/SERVLETS/BLOBSHTML?SHTMLFILE=1381844. *LA

REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AT 60,000 MILES. LOTS OF ROAD NOISE AND "HUM" VIBRATION COMING FROM FRONT END FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES, THEN IT GOT REAL BAD WHEN TURN STEERING WHEEL TO LEFT. SMALL TIME MECHANIC HAS REPLACED BEARINGS ON 12 BLAZERS OVER THE COURSE OF 6 MONTHS. ONE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MANY BLAZERS HAVE BEEN IN TO REPLACE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ANYWHERE FROM 30-80000 MILE. MECHANIC THINKS IT'S CAUSED BY LACK OF ADEQUATE GROUNDING FOR THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. *LA

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER - FASTER THAN YOU CAN BLINK AN EYE--WILL THE LIGHTS STAY OFF SOMETIME? A DISASTER AT NIGHT.*AK

6/12/03, 2000 BLAZER 4X4 TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY LOST ABILITY TO OBTAIN ALL GEARS. AFTER PARKING, THE VEHICLE LOST ABILITY TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AS WELL. NOISE TRANSMITTED FROM TRANSMISSION CONTAINED METALLIC MATERIAL GRINDING AND MOVING WITHIN. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD WITH THE MAJORITY OF ITS USE COMING FROM WORK TRANSPORTATION. THE CHEVY DEALER WOULD NOT QUOTE WITHOUT DISASSEMBLING THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH WOULD BE THE MAJORITY OF THE LABOR INVOLVED IN A FULL REPAIR. THEY STATED THAT THEY GENERALLY PREFER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, $3200. A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE WITHIN 10 MINUTES. THE OWNER HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND LITERALLY DESCRIBED THE SYMPTOMS AS SOON AS I TOLD HIM I HAD A BLAZER WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE COMPLETE REBUILD, DUE TO A SUN-SHELL GEAR FAILURE, COST $2097.78. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE NON-ROBUST JOINING OF TWO CYLINDERS (NO FILLET) AS WELL AS THE THICKNESS AND MATERIAL USED ALLOWS THE PART TO FAIL QUITE FREQUENTLY. HE HAD COMPLETED MULTIPLE JOBS FOR THIS AT HIS SHOP ALONE. IN FACT, AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MINE, HAD THE IDENTICAL SITUATION HAPPEN WITH HIS BLAZER THE WEEK OF 10/26/03. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I HAD CALLED THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE WITH NO HELP COMING FROM THEM. THIS HAS BEEN THE PINNACLE OF SEVERAL FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES (38,000MI AND 55,000MI), A POWER SEAT THAT QUIT WORKING, A POWER WINDOW THAT QUIT WORKING, A

THE ADJUSTABLE PEDESTAL ON THE SEAT BASE OCCASIONALLY COLLAPSES WHEN IT IS SUBJECTED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES. *MR INCLUDING THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IN THE SUMMERTIME. THE PLASTIC WOULD BECOME VERY PLIABLE ALSO WHEN PRESSING THE BASE INTO THE SEAT DURING INSTALLATION, THE ADJUSTMENT NOTCHES SLIPPED. *SCC

SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE BROKE OFF DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE A ALOT OF THESE BREAKING. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD MAKE THIS INTO A RECALL SO THEIR CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. NONE IS PERFECT, BUT AT LEAST THEY COULD MAKE THE EFFORT TO FIX THEM, AND NOT MAKE THE CUSTOMER DO SO.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING OIL. DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE LEAK WAS UNUSUAL, AND HAD TO TAKE TRANSMISSION APART TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK. *AK

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THE PASSENGER SEAT LEVER ALSO BROKE OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE RECLINE POSITION OF THE SEAT BACK. DEALER IS REPAIRING BOTH PROBLEMS WITH A COST OF OVER $600.00. *LA

PROBLEMS WITH 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER SUV. *LA

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, BUT PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK LAST SPRING THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION WOULD CUT OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND WOULD SOMETIME DROP OUT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE WIRING WAS REPLACED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD SHUT OFF AT TIMES, THE IGNITION SWTCH SHORTED OUT. ANOTHER ADDRESS FOR THE CONSUMER IS: 2829, RUE SANS FAMILLE, ZIP-27607. *SCC

THE FUEL PUMP,LINE AND TANK ARE FAULTY AT 35000 MILES. I BOUGHT IT AS A USED CAR FROM SANTA ANA HYUNDAI WHO AGREED TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP BUT DID NOT. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY, IT WOULD NOT START WHEN I TURNED IT OFF TO GET GAS ON 9-26-03, THE LEFT FRONT END IS POPPING WITH A LOUD NOISE,THE BRAKES ARE NOT ANTILOCK BRAKES,IT FEELS AS IF I AM HITTING METAL WHEN I STOP HARD,THE PANEL LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD WHEN FLASH WHEN I HAD SEATBELT ON. I HAD A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FIX THE MINOR THINGS. THE BATTERY CABLE WAS LOOSE AND THEY OILED THE JOINTS TO STOP THE SQUEAK. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS UNSAFE AND DEMAND I PAY HIM MONEY THAT IS ALREADY ABOVE THE PRICE OF THIS CAR. I AM PAYING $14,000 PLUS FOR A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP.THE DOOR ENTRY WILL NOT PROPERLY TAKE IN THE KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR.THE GAUGE METERS WERE DANCING BACK AND FORTH AND NOT PROPERLY READING THE FUEL.IT WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT SO I HAD NO REAL HISTORY OF RECALLS OR MECHANICAL REPORTS. *LA

WHEEL BEARINGS WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES WITHIN ONE YEAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON A SIDE ROAD, WAITED FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR AND AS HE MADE THE LEFT TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY, A POP SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION. THEN THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO DRIVE IN LOW GEAR SLOWLY AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE. *SCC *JB

SEAT HANDLES ARE BROKEN AGAIN. RESULTING A RECLINING DRIVER SEAT. SEAT HANDLES BROKE UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPLACED, SO THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ON MY BLAZER, 2000 MODEL. GM NEEDS TO REDESIGN THESE HANDLES BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INTO A ACCIDENT. *JB

THE SUSPENSION ON THE VEHICLE...THE CONTROL ARM UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS AND THE SENSORS FOR THE BAS BRAKES ALL WENT AT ONCE...ALSO THE GASOLINE SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE..THE GAS AMOUNT NEVER REGISTERS AND THE NEEDLE FLIPS BACK AND FORTH AND I HAVE RESEARCHED SIMILIAR REPORTS ON THE NET AND HAVE FOUND THAT ALL THESE ISSUES ARE A MAJOR FREQUENTLY OCCURING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES... I OWN A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER...I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEMS...I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE BALL JOINTS AND UPPER/LOWER ARM AND SENSOR TO BE FIXED AT A MASSIVE COST TO ME OF OVER 1000.00 THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY HAVING TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE SOME OF WHICH ARE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT FOR ALL KINDS OF SENSORS TO BE GOING A TRUCK IS RIDICULOUS..I AM ALSO AS OF A WEEK AGO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS...THE FUSE FOR THAT EQUIPMENT BLOWS ON A REGUALR BASIS..I HAVE PAID FOR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS THROUGHT THE PORTSMOUTH NH CHEVY DEALER AND THEY HAVE FOUND ALL KINDS OF OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE..THE COST OF THE VEHICLE WAS 18000 AND BY NEXT YEAR I WILL PROBABLY HAVE SPENT $6-7000 TRYING TO FIX THIS VEHICLE. *AK

I JUST PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED BLAZER IN JULY OF 2003. IT WAS IN FOR ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE THERE THE TECHNICIAN SNAPPED OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE, WHICH MY DEALER LATER REPLACED. NOT TWO WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AS WELL. MY DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WITHOUT CHARGING ME FOR PARTS AND LABOR.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS SUBJECT AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER UNHAPPY CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *AK

THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED WHEN I HIT A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT. IT WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT (WHERE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MEETS THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR, THAT STRIP OF METAL) WHEN I PULLED SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT TO LEAVE THE LOT. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY FAST, THIS POLE WAS WITHIN 4' OF MY CAR, YET THIS APPROX 4" DIAMETER METAL POLE COMPLETELY CRUSHED THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FRAILTY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED A CAR'S OCCUPANTS. I'D LIKE CHEVY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY. IT'S BACK TO VOLVOS FOR THIS WOMAN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SHRUDDERING AND SLIPPAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION AT 23863. THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SEAL LEAKED, THE CHECK LIGHT WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT, THE HEATING SEAT WAS INOPERATIVE, THERE WAS A RATTLE IN RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION, THE TRANSMISSION HAD NO REVERSE, AND THERE WAS HARD SHIFTING INTO THE FORWARD GEARS. *SCC

SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 4X4 SUV HAS A PROBLEM. THE PRODUCTS USED ARE NOT VERY HEAT TOLERANT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT OR REPLACED. ALSO IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I AM SEEING AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE HEATING AND AIR SYSTEM ON THE BLAZER.*AK

THE RIGHT REAR AND BOTH FRONT BRAKE FLEX LINES FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONSUMER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE CHEVROLET HEADQUARTERS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY FOR THE FAILURE. *MR *CB *NLM

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE FLEX LINES FAILED. THE FIRST TIME THE RIGHT BRAKE FLEX LINED FAILED. THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKE FLEX LINES FAILED ON BOTH FRONT CALIPERS. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEM OR DEFECTS REPORTED THEREFORE NO RECALL OR WARRANTY WAS ISSUED. *PH *NLM

MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER (88K MI.) HAD BOTH THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED STRANGE ABS ACTIVATION EVEN AT LOW SPEED AND LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION. MY DEALER SAID THE ABS CONTROLLER IS FAULTY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE VERY SAME SYMTOMS FROM OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AS TSB REFERENCES TO THIS DEFECT. THIS LOOKS LIKE A TREND AND A DESIGN FLAW AND A SAFTEY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THE ABS CONTROLLER SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER I HAD IT. THE DEALER DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THAT. I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE DEALER ONLY COVERED 30% OF THE COST WHICH WAS BETTER THAN NOTHING.

THE BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED ON MY BLAZER AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO PAY FOR ALL OF IT BUT $100.00.

CONSUMER STATES WHILE CHANGING A FLAT TIRE, THE JACK SNAPPED DOWN, AND DAMAGED THE RING. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

THE TWO RIGHT AND LEFT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED.*MR. THE LOWER BALL JOINT AND TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TS

SEVERE WATER DAMAGE AND MOLD. BOGGING DOWN IN ENGINE WHEN AT COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS OUT. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE ARE POWER SURGES. UPON SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT VEHICLE STALLS, AND WILL NOT PROCEED TO GO. ALSO WHEN VEHICLE HAS SAT OVERNIGHT IT WILL NOT START THE NEXT MORNING.*AK

CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING, CONDITION OCCURRED 5 TIMES USUALLY WHEN ENGINE COOL. TECHNICIAN SAID THEY FOUND FUEL PUMP TO BE SHORTED OUT AND REPLACED IT.*AK

TREAD SEPARATION ON TWO UNIROYAL LAREDO P235-70-15 ON A 2000 BLAZER TIRES, WITH-IN A 10 DAY PERIOD. APX. 10 DAYS AGO FRONT END WAS SHAKING, TOLD OF TIRE SEPARATION ON L/F. TREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM TIRE . BOUGHT 2 NEW TIRES. TODAY I HAD TIRE SEPARATION ON L/R AND AGAIN TREAD WAS PEALING FROM TIRE. CALLED UNIROYAL TODAY AND AFTER THREE PHONE CALLS OF GETTING THE RUNAROUND I WAS THEN ABLE TO HAVE ONE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THE OTHER TIRE WAS DISPOSED OF BY TIRE SHOP. TIRES HAD ABOUT 60-65% TREAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM. PROBLEM WAS THAT THE TIRE SHOPS THEY SENT ME TOO SAID THEY ONLY SELL UNIROYAL TIRES AND DO NOT WARRANTY THEM. OTHER PROBLEM WAS BY ALLEGED REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE IN MY OPINION HAD A "NO CARE" ATTITUDE. *AK

REFER TO ODI ID NUMBER 760100, 8008263, 8013241, 10016706, 10001738, 566417. I HAVE DETECTED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2000 AT A DEALERSHIP IN SEATTLE WASHINGTON. THE THROTTLE PEDAL STICKS ON TAKEOFF/STARTUP FROM A STOPPED POSITION (I.E. STOP LIGHT/SIGN). I HAVE TO EXERT EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING. WHEN I EXERT THE EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL, AFTER ABOUT 1 - 2 INCHES, IT BREAKS FREE AND LUNGES FROM THE STOP. IT ALSO SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY, NOT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. MY WIFE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. WE JUST GOT HOME FROM A TRIP THROUGH CALIFORNIA FROM 8 DAYS OF DRIVING AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THE WHOLE TIME. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THOUGHT I MIGHT NEED TO USE WD-40 IN THE LINKAGE FROM THE PEDAL. THIS DID NOT HELP. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER IN LAS VEGAS WHO SAID THEY HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE THE PEDAL STICK LIKE THIS AND IT COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT POTENTIAL IF IT WERE TO STICK AND THEN LUNGE AND THE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE BRAKES PRESENTED ITSELF. *NLM

REAR TAILGATE ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER LS WOULD NOT OPEN AFTER CLOSING. THE REAR INSIDE TRIM PANEL HAD TO BE BROKEN BECAUSE OF A POOR DESIGN TO GET TO CHEAP PLASTIC ACTUATOR UNIT TO RELEASE THE REAR WINDOW AND TAILGATE. COSTLY REPAIR NOT UNDER WARRANTY. COULD POSE SAFETY PROBLEM IF IT WAS THE ONLY ESCAPE ROUTE IN CAR CRASH. I FEEL GM SHOULD AT LEAST COVER PARTS REPAIR SINCE THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM IS TO BREAK A $145.00 + TRIM PANEL BECAUSE THE SCREWS FOR THAT PANEL ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE TAILGATE WHICH YOU CAN'T GET OPEN TO UNSCREW THEM. I THINK THIS IS PROBLEM WHICH GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS AND LIKE I SAID IS A COSTLY PROBLEM FOR THE CONSUMER. *NLM

FRONT END PROBLEMS, AND SECURITY LIGHT STAYING ON. *JB

THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER BECAUSE THE SENDING UNIT WAS CORRODED, ALSO THE HANDLE ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE OFF WHEN I USED IT. *JB

I HAVE A TAILGATE/HATCHBACK COMBINATION. THE LATCHING MECHANISM HAS SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS. THE GLASS COMPANY THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME TO TOLD ME THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THAT NEW GLASS WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THAT, BUT ALSO OFFERED AN IMPLAUSABLE EXPLANATION FOR A SCENARIO WERE SEPARATION FROM THE GLASS MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION OR EVEN INVESTIGATE IT. THE ALTERNATE SCENARIO WAS OFFERED BY A REGIONAL DEALER MANUFACTURER WHO HAS NEVER SEEN MY CAR AND WHO REFUSED TO INSPECT IT PERSONALLY WHEN I REQUESTED IT.*AK

THE SEAT RECLINER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE. AFTER FIXING, THE SEAT THEN SQUEAKED AND RATTLED. DEALERSHIP SAAID I HAVE A BROKEN SEAT FRAME. DEALERSHIP WON'T PAY FOR DAMANGES. *AK THIS IS THE SECOND GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE THAT HAS A BROKEN SEAT RECLINER. THE FIRST ONE WAS A 98 GMC JIMMY. SAME THING HAPPENED.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HINGE FELL OFF. PLEASE FILL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK

CORRODED, WARPED BRAKE ROTORS FRONT AND REAR

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, 4LO LIGHT ON DASH WOULD FLASH AS IF TRYING TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE, ON 5/19/03, IT WAS LOCKED INTO 4LO, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSFER TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE, VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OUT OF 4LO. *NLM
