2000 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

THE WHEEL BEARING BROKE AND AS A RESULT THE ABS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. *NLM

WHILE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, (LESS THAN 15 MPH) BRAKE PEDAL PULSES, AND GOES TOWARDS THE FLOOR. ABS THEN ACTIVATES, AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-10 TIMES, TWICE CAUSING COLLISIONS WITH CURBS, AND PARKING BARRIERS. GARAGE THAT FIXED A BROKEN BRAKE LINE, CHECKED THE BRAKES, AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. *JB

THE HEAD LIGHT FLICKERED AND HAD GONE OUT, THE ENGINE SURGED AT 59 MPH, AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN OIL LEAKED, WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED,THE RADIO WENT GO OUT, AND THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON THE HEADLIGHT HAD GONE OUT. MR SCC *JB

THERE WAS A CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND HUB NEED TO BE REPLACED. *NLM

LEFT DOOR MISALIGNED DOOR IS HARD TO CLOSE, MUST BE LIFTED TO CLOSE. *NLM

UPPER BALL FAILED RIGHT SIDE. *NLM

THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING EXPERIENCED PREMATURE FAILURE. *JB

THE VEHICLE LEAKED OIL FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM HOSE. CAUSE UNKNOWN. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR HINGE FELL OFF. *NLM

I WAS NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER DRIVER I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS, BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND INFORMED THAT IT WOULD COST $400 TO FIX. FOUND OUT THROUGH MY EMPLOYER THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY WAS IT NOT CORRECTED BEFORE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE CHEVY DEALER. ALSO INFORMED MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND THE A MODULE WAS AT FAULT AND WOULD COST ANOTHER $550 TO FIX AND THAT IT MAY INFLATE AIRBAG WHILE DRIVING. THESE ARE TOTALLY UNREALISTIC PROBLEMS TO OCCUR IN A 2 YEAR OLD MODEL WITH LESS THEN 40,000 MI. *JB

PURCHASED 2000 BLAZER 11/24/00. MANY PROBLEMS SINCE. TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE, WARRANTY REPAIR. OIL COOLER LINES, UPPER AND LOWER, WARRANTY REPAIR. WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEY ARE LEAKING STILL. PROBLEM NEVER REALLY FIXED. IDLER ARM, WARRANTY REPAIR. DRIVER SIDE RECLINE HANDLE DRIVER SEAT FELL BACK WOULD NOT RETURN TO UPRIGHT POSITION, WARRANTY REPAIR. BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AND ROTORS, WARRANTY REPAIR. FROM DAY 1 NUMEROUS RATTLES AND SQUEAKS. DOOR PANELS RATTLE CONSTANTLY. PASSENGER SEAT RATTLES AND SQUEAKS. WINDSHIELD WIPER ENTIRE ARM CAME OFF, REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. OUT OF WARRANTY, AT 41,699 MILES BUT NOT EVEN (2) YEARS OLD, TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT AT MY EXPENSE. CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE! COST OF TRANSMISSION $2,442 AND THE COST OF A TWO WEEK CAR RENTAL. EVEN WHEN TRANSMISSION LINE HAD TO BE REPAIRED WE HAD TO RENT A CAR AT OUR EXPENSE BECAUSE LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO SUPPLY A LOANER. AGAIN CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE A JOKE! CALLED CHEVY HOT LINE/HELP LINE AND WAS JUST GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY AMERICAN MADE AUTO AGAIN. WHY IS IT YOU CAN BUY ANY ITEM AT MOST DEPARTMENT STORES AND TAKE IT BACK AND RECEIVE SATISFACTION, BUT SPEND $25,000+ FOR A CHEVY PRODUCT AND YOU ARE SCREWED WHEN YOU SIMPLY WANT THE RELIABILITY AND SERVICE YOU WERE PROMISED. I TELL EVERY PERSON I MEET NOT TO BUY A CHEVY. SOLID LIKE A ROCK? WHAT A LIE! *JB

ALSO THE HINGE BRACKET WAS COMING LOOSE FROM THE DOOR FRAME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT. SCC

I TOOK MY YEAR 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER INTO GLEASON CHEVROLET IN FOREST PARK ILLINOIS TO SERVICE AN INOPERABLE HORN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE HORN TO BE REPAIRED. (THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS.) I NOW AM CONCERNED THAT I HAVE TWO SAFETY ISSUES. 1.) THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. 2.) APPARENTLY, THE AIR BAG MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. GM WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS.*JB

HAD TO REPLACE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT WHEEL BEARING HUBS. LESS THEN 40,000 MILES TALK TO CHEVROLET, NO HELP OUT OF WARRANTY. STILL CAN HEAR NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT.

PLASTIC LEVER TO RECLINE PASSENGER SEAT BROKE OFF.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS MAKING GRINDING NOISE AT 37000 MI DEALER WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY COST $1004.00 TO REPAIR, ALSO REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AT 35000 MI WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY

MY CHEVY BLAZER'S DRIVERS DOOR WAS REPAIRED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRENTY. IT IS BREAKING OFF. MY WARRENTY EXPIRED 3 MTHS LATER AS THE DOOR HAD BROKEN AGAIN. THE CHEVY DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR IT. I BELEIVE THE CAR WAS N A FLOOD BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME BECAUSE THE DOOR HINGES ARE ALL RUSTED AND BROKEN. THEY CHANGED MY ALARM SYSTEM AND IT HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN IF KEY NOT PUT IN TO START

VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONTAL COLLISION, BUT NONE OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD,NECK AND BACK INJURIES. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS.

LIGHTS ON THE CONSOLE AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL FLICK ON AND OFF AT RANDOM LYWITH CAUSE DETERMINED AS THE AIR INJECTION REACTION PUMP. PH. *AK

BOTH SETS OF OIL FILTER RELOCATION LINES LEAK AND NEED REPLACEMENT. MECHANIC STATES VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, 38KMILES ON MY 2000 BLAZER, OUT OF WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER'S MECHANIC SAID HE HAS REPLACED A VALVE ON THE TRANSMISSION OF FOUR 2000 BLAZERS SO FAR THIS YEAR. I WILL MAKE NUMBER FIVE - QUOTED COST OF $850. SERVICE CENTER WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. READ SEVERAL REPORTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES SIMILAR TO MINE ON 2000 BLAZERS AND S-10S. WHY NO RECALL? IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY AM I NOT COVERRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY?!!

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE THROTTLE WOULD STICK IN THE IDLE POSITION CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

THE METAL PART OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RECLINER BROKE WHILE TRYING TO ADJUST THE SEAT.

VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH RESULTED IN A ROLLOVER AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *MR *SCC *JB THE CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW THE STATUS OF HER COMPLAINT. *JB

NEVER TOOK IN FOR REAR WIPER. STARTED LEAKING OIL, SO TOOK TO DEALER HERE IN ROOSEVELT 21, DEC. STARTED TO PROVO JAN. 10, CRUISE CONTROL WENT OFF, SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT WORK, THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT. PULLED OFF ROAD AS CAR STOPS, TURNED CAR BACK ON, TURNED AROUND TO RETURN HOME. AFRAID TO CONTINUE OVER MOUNTAINS. TOOK TO MURRY MOTORS, COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TOOK FOR A 30 MINUTE MILE RIDE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WILL TAKE BACK THIS FOLLOWING MONDAY TO BE CHECKED AGAIN. CAN NOT DRIVE IF IT WONT SHIFT. TOOK TO MURRAY MOTORS FOR OIL LEAK. THEY REPLACED TWO HOSES. NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY, CAUSING LEAK. THANKS MRS. RIDING. *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****770837

ACCELERATOR STICKS DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP ON THROTTLE BODY. GASOLINE PREMATURELY BURNS BEFORE REACHING THE CYLINDER. BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. ENGINE OIL LEAKS. COOLANT LEAKS. TRANSMISSION LEAKS. *TT *NLM

ACCELERATION PEDAL HARD TO PUSH ACTS LIKE IT STICKS. THROTTLE BODY WAS CARBONATED UP. DEALERSHIP CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND STICKING STOPPED. THE STICKING USUALLY OCCURRED AT START UP BUT IT ALSO HAPPENED IF YOU REMOVED YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL DURING DRIVING TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN REAPPLIED YOUR FOOT TO ACCELERATE. I PUT UP WITH THIS FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE I HAD IT SERVICED. TS

ACCELERATION PEDAL HARD TO PUSH, ACTS LIKE IT STICKS. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP WHICH CAUSED THE STICKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD THIS CLEANED. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER, HE SAID THIS WAS VERY COMMON WITH THE 4.3 V6 ENGINES. DEALER RECOMMENDED ADDING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER TO STOP THE BUILD UP OF CARBON. I HAD BEEN DOING THAT. SEEMS LIKE IT LESSENED THE BUILD UP BUT DID NOT PREVENT IT. I SUPPOSE THIS IS GOING TO BE NORMAL MAINTENANCE, SIMILAR TO AN OIL CHANGE. I HAVE HAD OTHER BLAZERS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE MANUFACTURER COULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TS

NO SUMMARY. DT

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL GO INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF, WHICH RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILS TO GO EITHER UP OR DOWN WHEN THE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED. THE WINDOWS WOULD BECOME STUCK IN EITHER THE UP OR DOWN POSITION FOR 1/2 HOUR OR MORE BEFORE IT WOULD FUNCTION AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM . *TS *NLM

WHILE DRIVING THE FUEL GAUGE FAILS TO INDICATE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN VEHICLE, AT TIMES THE NEEDLE WOULD INDICATE A FULL TANK WHEN IT WAS EMPTY OR VICE VERSA. *TS *NLM

THROTTLE ALMOST ALWAYS STICKS WHEN VEHICLE MOVEMENT STARTS CAUSING LEARCHING STARTS. DT

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW FOR OVER $26, 000, WE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY. FORTUNATELY, THESE REPAIRS (INCLUDING 4 WD FAILURE 3 X) WERE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED W/ TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT 34,000 MILES, WE BEGAN TO WORRY. I CONTACTED GM AT THAT TIME AND BEGGED THEM TO CONSIDER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. WHILE BEING EXTREMELY PLEASANT, THE ULTIMATE DECISION WAS "NO". THIS WAS BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER, GREG. HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REASON TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY, AS THE PROBLEMS HAD ALL BEEN FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAD NOT! THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 55,000 MILES WHILE DOING 55 MPH, ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE TRUCK MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE AND WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. AFTER CAREFULLY DRIVING IT TO A SAFE PLACE, I DISCOVERED THAT REVERSE WAS OUT AS WELL. I CONTACTED GREG AT THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NO LONGER COVERED. I THEN CONTACTED GM, AND AGAIN, WHILE BEING EXTREMELY PLEASANT, THEY HAVE NOT COMMITTED TO REPLACING OR EVEN HELPING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE 1ST AMERICAN CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER. IT IS MY FEELING THAT GM KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT IS UNWILLING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SHOULDN'T A 4 WD VEHICLE HAVE A TRANSMISSION THAT LASTS PAST 100,000! NOT TO MENTION 4 WD THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! DT

FRONT CRASH AT 40 MPH, VEHICLE HIT A TREE. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, DRIVER SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES. AMOUNT OF DAMAGE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. TS

CONSUMER ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER' SEAT RECLINER HANDLE HAS BROKEN THREE TIMES. WHEN THE HANDLE BREAKS, CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO PROPERLY ADJUST SEATING POSITION. TS

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF WITHIN TWO DAYS OF EACH OTHER. CAN NOT ADJUST SEAT BACK TO PROPER/SAFE DRIVING POSITION. SEAT CONTINUES TO RECLINE BACKWARDS MAKING IT UN-SAFE TO DRIVE. CONTACTED DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WOULD NOT FIX WITHOUT CHARGES. HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS DEFECTS ON THIS CONDITION POSTED ON THE BULLITIN BOARDS AND PROVIDED THE DEALER WITH THIS AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN THERE IS AN APPARENT DEFECT IN THIS PRODUCT. DT

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS 75% OF THE TIME UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION, WHETHER THAT IS FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING. THE STICKING IS SUCH THAT FORCE HAS TO BE EXERTED TO GET THE PEDAL TO DEPRESS THEREBY CAUSING LURCHING OF THE VEHICLE. IN PARKING LOT SITUATIONS OR ON ICY ROADS THIS CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, BOTH FRONT SEAT ADJUSTERS THAT ALLOW THE SEAT TO BE REPOSITIONED HAVE BROKEN OFF WHILE TRYING TO REPOSTION THE SEAT. WHEN WE REPORTED THESE ITEMS TO OUR DEALER THEY SAID THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS THEY ARE SEEING FREQUENTLY. IF THIS IS SO I FEEL IT IS A DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE SEAT LEVERS WERE PLASTIC PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE METAL AND BOTH BROKE OFF WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. DT
