2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

2000 CHEVY BLAZERFUEL GUAGE DOESN'T REGISTER PROPERLY BELOW 1/2 FULL. OFTEN FLUCTUATES BELOW 1/2 TANK FROM EMPTY TO FULL OR IN BETWEEN. ONLY 25000 MILES, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY (EXPIRED JUNE 2004). *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE , AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK (SEE ALSO ODI REF. NO. 10106730 - SAME VEHICLE) *MJJ

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 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

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

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

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THAT SHE KNEW OF ANOTHER CONSUMER WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *SC *JB

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

RUST IN COOLING SYSTEM, WATER PUMP FAILED, REPLACED AND FLUSHED COOLING SYSTEM. HEATER INOPERATIVE, BLOWS COLD AIR. VEHICLE STILL NOT REPAIRED.*AK
