2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

DT: THERE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SINCE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE THE BRAKES CHATTER/JUMP, AND SHAKE WITHIN THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE STOPS WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, BUT DOES REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT CALIPERS AND CORROSION. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME CHEVROLET VEHICLES INVOLVING THE ABS, BUT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *AK

A RECALL ON THE MULTI-PURPOSE SWITCH WAS RECIEVED AND PART WAS REPLACED IN APRIL OF 2002. ON MONDAY AUGUST 22,2005 THE SAME SWITCH WAS REPLACED AGAIN AT MY EXPENCE.GM SHOULD CORRECT THR REAL PROBLEM AND NOT JUST THE PARTS.ALSO THE PASSANGE SEAT ADJUSTER HAS BROKEN OFF.AND IN ADDITION THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

DT: THREE YEARS AGO THE PROBLEM BEGAN. THE OWNER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND WHEN THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF THEN BRAKES WENT OFF AS WELL AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. THE MAIN TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. THERE WAS A RECALL AND THE OWNER DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE NEXT TIME THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE USED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT TEN MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY WERE WILLING TO REPAIR THE HAZARD LIGHTS AT A COST OF $500. THERE SEEMED TO BE NO INDICATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS TO WHY THESE HAZARDS LIGHTS KEPT FAILING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY THE OWNER AT LEAST 7 TIMES IN LAST MONTH AND A HALF. THE OWNER ATTEMPTED TO WORK IT OUT WITH GM 10 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. *AK *SC

PROBLEM WITH THE DEX-COOL SYSTEM IN MY 2000 CHEV BLAZER---HEATER WENT OUT JULY 2004, WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HEATER CORE REPLACED, RADIATOR WAS FLUSHED AT THE SAME TIME. ONE YEAR LATER VEHICLE OVER-HEATING AGAIN, NO LONGER UNDER EXT WARRANTY...PAID $212 FOR THE FLUSH TODAY AND FILED COMPLAINT W/ GM DUE TO THE OBVIOUS PROBLEM WHICH THEY DENY WITH DEX-COOL ( 8 STATES HAVE CLASS-ACTION SUITS). WAS TOLD BY GM REP THAT THE COOLANT SYSTEM IS A MAINTAINENCE ITEM AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IN THE REAPAIR COST. SPOKE WITH THE GM DEALERSHIP WHO ARGUED MY CASE, ASKED WHAT MAINTAINENCE REQUIRED ON MY PART, SINCE THE DEX-COOL MAINT SCHEDULE IS 155K MILES, MAINT FREE---MY VEHICLE HAS 70K MILES AND SECOND FLUSH IN 12 MO PERIOD. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT NOTHING I COULD REALLY DO TO MAINTAIN, JUST KEEP CHECK ON COOLANT LEVEL EVERY OIL CHANGE, AND SYSTEM COULD FAIL AGAIN AT ANY TIME--NO GUARANTEEE AND THE DEALERSHIP ALSO ARGUED WITH GM REP---THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH DEX-COOL ANTIFREEZE.......I PAID THE COST, BUT AFTER PURCHASING GM PRODUCTS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS, IF I AM FACED WITH ADDITIONAL COST OF AN APPARENT DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER...I WILL GO TO ANOTHER MAKE OF CAR---THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
