2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THERE IS NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID 01V364000 CONCERNING THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. THE CONTACT HAS NOT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 BLAZER WITH 58,000 MILES AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE HEARD DEALERS AND MECHANICS SAY THAT IT IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY PLAN TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. ALSO, MY LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL DOES NOT WORK. MY BROTHER HAD IT REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY ON HIS 2004 Z71.*JB

BALL JOINTS UPPER AND LOWER REPLACED AT 40K AND 100K MILES. WILL BE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN VERY SOON AT 140K MILES. THE REPLACEMENT AT 40K WAS A TOTAL FAILURE OF PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINTS TO WIT: VEHICLE WAS INCAPACITATED AS WHEEL WAS LEFT 'BENT'. FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATED WILDLY IF LESS THAN 1/3 TANK OF GAS. FUEL PUMP FAILED. *JB

RADLEY CHEVROLET DID NOT PROVIDE US WITH A RECALL NOTICE ON BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER FROM THE START. WE HAVE BEEN NOW TOLD THAT THE IDLER ARM ON THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WE ALSO HAD THE FUEL GAUGE GO OUT. HOW OFTEN DO THESE COMPONENTS GO OUT. CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE IDLER ARM AND IS THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM. *JB

GAS PEDAL STICKING- NOT ALL THE TIME BUT FREQUENTLY, AND OF COURSE NOT WHEN I HAVE IT AT THE GARAGE.

BOTH BRAKE-ABS LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS, EVEN THOUGH, SPEED SENSOR WAS MENTIONED EACH TIME BUT NEVER REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, GM RECALL FOR SPEED SENSOR BRAKE PROBLEM DOES NOT INCLUDE 2000 CHEVY BLAZER NOR THE STATE OF MISSOURI. THIS IS STILL A ONGOING PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. *JB

MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A COWORKER WITH A KNOWN RECALL THAT WAS ALREADY FIXED ONCE AND NOW IS NOT FUNCTIONING AGAIN. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY COULD DO SINCE IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY ,I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A DEALERSHIP WHICH COST ME $85.00 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THIS IS FAILURE THAT IS KNOWN AND I BELIEVE WAS NOT CORRECTED THE FIRST TIME SO I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ITEM IS A 4 WAY SWITCH. *NM

ON SEPT 10 2005 I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE A TUNE UP DONE ON IT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO GO. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 7 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED ON A 2000 CHEV BLAZER, WITH THAT LOW OF MILEAGE. I HAD NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY IN TURN WANTED TO PUT ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANTED I HAD WANTED THEM TO FIX MY CAR THE ONE THAT THEY HAD SOLD TO ME. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET MY CAR TO RUN RIGHT, SO THAT I MAY USE IT AND NOT PAY FOR ONE TO SIT IN MY DRIVE WAY. AND I WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THIS HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER 2000 CHEV BLAZERS? SINCERELY YOURS SUSAN BURGOS. *JB

BEGAN WITH LOUD UNDERCARRIAGE NOISE WHEN SHIFTING INTO SECOND. NOW TRUCK WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO 2ND OR REVERSE. ONLY 39,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON THIS ONE OWNER TRUCK. NOT AN ELECTRICAL OR FLUID PROBLEM. *NM

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED A FIRE STARTED IN THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED EVER SINCE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. *JB
