  I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A HEARD A LOUD POP. THEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I GOT TO WORK AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. I CALL MY MECHANIC AND HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED. IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION THAT WENT AND IT ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT. IT COST ME 1,400 FOR THE TRANSMISSION,84.00 FOR THE TOW AND 102.00 FOR THE RENTAL. *NM

  WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2000 CHEVROLET LT BLAZER AND NOW THE FUEL SENDER WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. THEREFORE, WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE IN THE TANK. PER MY BROTHER'S INQUIRES ON A WEBSITE HE FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD BY A GM TECHNICIAN THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THIS MAKE/MODEL, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED SINCE THEY KNOW IT IS A DEFECT AND IS COSTLY TO REPAIR ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOT VERY OLD! *NM

  I BOUGHT MY USED 2000 CHEVY BLAZER 4 DOOR 4WD THIS YEAR AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ERRATIC. WHEN FILLED UP IT READS FULL BUT AFTER DRIVING OVER 150 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE JUMPS AROUND FROM EMPTY TO FULL CONTINUOUSLY. I'VE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AT THIS SITE AND BELIEVE CHEVY HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT THEY NEED TO RESEARCH AND CORRECT. I BELIEVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS IN ORDER. *TR

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

  MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZERS FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT AFTER 6 MOS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2003 AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE GAS GAGE WASN'T WORKING SO I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT. SO I STARTED ASKING AROUND AND A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THEIRS WENT OUT AS WELL I GOT QUOTES ON HOW MUCH TO FIX IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PRICE RANGE WAS $380-$460. AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL TANK JUST TO GET IT FIXED. ALSO THE REAR-END DIFFERENTIAL BROKE AND IT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FINALLY FIND ONE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T MAKE THE PART FOR THAT YEAR ANYMORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF MY CAR AND STRONGLY REGRET BUYING IT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. *NM

• 12/23/2004· SUSPENSION

  I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON MY 2000 BLAZER WERE IN EXTREMELY POOR CONDITION AND COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. IN FACT HE SAID THAT THE WHEELS COULD FALL OFF THE CAR. THIS SEEMS LIKE QUITE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT. HE ALSO SAID IT WAS NOT SURPRISING GIVEN THE LACK OF QUALITY PARTS USED BY CHEVROLET IN THE MANUFACTURING. WHILE LOOKING AT CUSTOMER REVIEWS / COMPLAINTS ON EDMUNDS.COM I NOTICE AT LEAST 2 MORE PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.*AK

• 12/22/2008· VISIBILITY

  OCCASIONALLY THE FRONT WIPERS ON MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER WOULD STOP WORKING FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES WOULD KICK BACK ON, BUT AS OF YESTERDAY DEC 21 2008 THEY WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO A BAD WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD. THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND HAD A RECALL FOR A 1997 CHEVY S10 PICKUP. AND GUESS WHAT??? THEY USE THE SAME PART NUMBER. HOWEVER CHEVY WILL NOT REPLACE THE WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE MODEL/YEAR. IF IT IS THE SAME PART AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER. NOW OUT OF POCKET I AM LOOKING AT $150 OR A LITTLE MORE DEPENDING ON WHAT PARTS STORE I CAN FIND THIS CIRCUIT BOARD AT. I CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND THE CHEVY 1-800#. TO ME THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, IF IT IS THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT HAD A PROBLEM IN A PREVIOUS VEHICLE THEN IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE. *TR

  I HAVE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, THE GAS GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE STOP WORKING AND I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN I REALIZED PROBLEM 2 THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE STALLS, AND WHEN IT FINALLY TAKE OFF, THE CAR JERKS AND THE DRIVER SEAT MOVES/SLIDES BACK FROM THE HINGES WHICH CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO REACH MY BREAKS AND RUN INTO A CURB. ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STICKS AND IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN. LASTLY THE WHEEL BARING AND BALL JOINTS HAVE GONE BAD TWICE AND THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 75000 MILES ON IT. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND EXPLAINED ALL OF MY CONCERNS AND WAS TOLD THEY WE NOT AWARE OF ANY NATIONWIDE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT FIX THE HAZARD LIGHT MALFUNCTION. I RESEARCHED ON THE NET AND FOUND MANY MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME CONCERNS I HAVE. *JB

• 12/18/2005· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  ACCELERATOR STICKING. FROM STANDING START, ACCELERATORS PEDAL REQUIRES CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE TO MOVE FROM RESTING POSITION. AS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD BEFORE OPERATOR CAN REMOVE PRESSURE. COMPLAINTS TO DEALER RESULTED IN THE ESTIMATE OF A $100.00 CHARGE TO CLEAN CARBON FROM THROTTLE BODY AND APPLY A CHEMICAL TREATMENT TO HELP PREVENT FURTHER STICKING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A MAINTENANCE ITEM AS IT COULD RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION, POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL, AND ACCIDENT. DEALER DIAGNOSIS WAS ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS SO THE PROBLEM MUST BE A COMMON ONE.*NM

  I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER LS 4X4. UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER REPLACED THE OIL LINES BY THE OIL FILTER, WHOLE SEAT MECHANISM, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR, REAR SHOCK. THEY ALSO FIXED MY HOOD RATTLE AFTER 5 VISITS TO THE DEALER AND I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG THE FIRST TIME IT WENT IN. SINCE THEN AT 40,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT AND HAD IT REPLACED AND AT THE SAME TIME HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED SINCE THAT WENT OUT ALSO. AT 50,000 MILES THE SAME ONE WENT OUT AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW AT 68,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS BAD. ALSO ON MY FIRST WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT, THEY TOLD ME THE BALL JOINTS WERE VERY LOOSE AND SHOULD THINK ABOUT REPLACING THOSE ALSO. THESE THINGS SHOULD NEVER BE GOING WRONG WITH SUCH LOW MILES. FROM WHAT I AM READING ON THE WEB AND HEARING FROM THE DEALERS, THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT CHEVY WILL NOT RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I SURE AM HAPPY THAT I HAVEN'T HAD A WHEEL FALL OFF AND KILL SOMEONE YET. *JB

  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

• 12/17/2002· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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.

• 12/16/2003· SEATS

  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

  ON 6/4/2008 I PURCHASED FOUR TIRES FROM WALMART IN YUMA, AZ THEY WERE DOUGLAS TIRES 205/75R15BWX-TRAC II. WALMART INSTALLED/MOUNTED AND BALANCED THE TIRES. 5 MONTH'S AND LESS THEN 5000 MILES LATER ON 11/7/08 MY WIFE CALLED ME TO SAY THAT A TIRE WAS FLAT WHEN I GOT THERE TO LOOK AT THE TIRE I FOUND THAT THE TIRE HAD RIPPED IN SIX DIFFERENT PLACES FROM THE RIM TO THE TREAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I THEN LOOKED AT THE OTHER TIRES TO FIND THAT THEY HAD INDENTED/IMPRESSIONS IN THE SAME PATTERN AROUND THE TIRE AS IF STARTING TO CRACK THROUGH LIKE THE OTHER ONE DID. ALSO I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTLY KEEPING THE PROPER PSI LEVEL IN THEM MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDS 35PSI, BUT FOR SOME REASON THESE TIRES WILL LEAK OUT TO 20 PSI I HAD TO PUT AIR IN THEM EVERY MONTH TO KEEP THEM AT THE PROPER LEVEL. I WENT BACK TO WALMART THE NEXT DAY ON 11/8/2008 AFTER ARGUING WITH THEM THEY FINALLY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES BUT THEY USED THE SAME BRAND, AND NOW A MONTH LATER I'M STARTING TO SEE THE SAME PATTERN OF INDENT'S/ IMPRESSIONS IN THE SIDE WALL AND THESE TIRES TO LEAK AIR AS BAD AS THE LAST SET OF DOUGLAS TIRES THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WALMART INSTALLED ARE 205/75R15BWX-T. I BELIEVE THAT THIS BRAND NAME HAS DEFECTIVE TIRES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRES THAT RIPPED IF I CAN I WILL ADD THEM TO THE REPORT BUT IF NOT JUST REQUEST THEM FROM ME AND I WILL SEND THEM VIA EMAIL. THANK YOU. *TR

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
