2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES THAT DOES NOT SHOW ACCURATE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, 1/2, FULL, 3/4 TO LOW. UNSURE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. *TR

BOTH FRONT DOORS STRIKERS ARE BROKEN OFF OF THE FRAME. NO RUST .NO WRECKS. *TR

ANY TIME I AM DRIVING MY FUEL GAUGE GOES CRAZY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I ACTUALLY HAVE BECAUSE IT CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN. I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES BECAUSE IT SHOWS I HAVE 1/4 TANK OR MORE AND THEN IT'LL JUST GO DOWN ALL THE WAY, THEN SHOOT UP 3/4 TANK AND SO ON. WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP, ESPECIALLY IN SMALL DOWNHILLS, MY BRAKE PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING AND BARELY SLOWS DOWN. I GET NERVOUS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID MY CAR WILL NOT STOP. IT ALSO DOES THIS IF I'M STARTING TO BRAKE, AND ONE OF THE WHEELS HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THEN IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE NORMALLY BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING, THE ABS BRAKES LIGHT COMES ON, AND MY CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHICH IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. *TR

ABOUT ONCE A FEW WEEKS, MY ABS WILL ACTIVATE WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO. I WILL BE TRYING TO MAKE A NORMAL STOP, SOMETIMES AN ABNORMALLY SLOW STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL VIBRATE AND DEPRESS BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T STOP THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. AT THAT POINT, I USUALLY JAM THE BRAKES DOWN AND PRAY. SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH STOPPING DISTANCE, I WILL PUMP THE BRAKES AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN ARE YOU FORCE GM TO DO A RECALL? I READ THE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TODAY, AND THIS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND 1/3 FULL WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS IN PARK AND WHEN DRIVING. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. I HAVE SEEN IT DROP FORM 1/4 FULL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY IN SECONDS. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON WAY TO WORK WHEN GAS GAUGE SAID 1/4 FULL WHEN I STARTED OFF TO WORK, ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY. I HAVE TOLD LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ( H & H ) ABOUT PROBLEM WHEN HAVING SERVICE BUT THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM, WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU WERE ON A SLOPE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED SUV NEW. *TR
