2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

GOING ABOUT 30 MPH TO ENTER FREEWAY ON ONRAMP, I PUT ON MY BRAKES AS TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING. TRAFFIC THEN SLOWED QUICKLY AND I PUSHED BRAKES DOWN HARDER AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DIDNT STOP CAUSING ME TO HIT THE BACK FOR THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS A PROBLEM WITH ABS BRAKES AT SLOWER STOPPING SPEEDS AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT IT AND THAT NOTHING WOULD SHOW ON THE COMPUTER. I CALLED A BRAKE SHOP AND WAS BASICLY TOLD THE SAME THING. THAT ABS BRAKES AT SLOW SPEEDS ARE A PROBLEM, THEY COULD PUT IT ON A MACHINE TO CHECK CODES BUT WERE 99.9% SURE AS USUAL IT WOULD SHOW NOTHING.

I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PAINT JOB OF MY CHEV. BLAZER ZR2 (2000). THE PAINT HAS "EGG SHELLED" IN TWO SPOTS. THE FINISH ON THE ROOF RACK AND WINDOW TRIMS IS PEELING AND FADING. THE TIRE RACK IS RUSTED IN ALL THE JOINTS. THE PAINT DID NOT HOLD UP AND IS VERY DISTASTEFUL.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT HOOD LEVER FAILED TO OPEN AND DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE FAILED TO RELEASE IN ORDER TO LOCK. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINT TO INSPECT AND REPAIR VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID DRIPPED TO THE MUFFLER AND VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *AK

RECALL 01V364000 CONCERNING MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH: THE CONSUMER WAS DENIED RECALL REPAIRS BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED. THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER, AND NEITHER WERE WILLING TO HELP. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, WITH OUT ANY WARNING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. AS SOON AS THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER, THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A INDEPENDENT SHOP, THE MECHANIC FOUND ALL THE LUG NUTS WERE BROKE. *JB

MY VEHICLE'S FRONT END HAS BEEN GIVING ME ALOT OF FRONT END PROBLEMS. BOUNCING & MAKING A VIBRATION NOISE . I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY TELL ME THAT I NEED BALL JOINTS AND OTHER SUSPENSION PARTS DUE TO THE BALL JOINTS BEING BAD ON MY VEHICLE. I CALL AROUND TO OTHER REPAIR SHOPS & THEY SAY THAT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BLAZERS COSTING THE CONSUMER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. SO, WHAT IS CHEVY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ? WAIT UNTIL A NUMBER OF PEOPLE GET INTO ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY'LL NAME IT A RECALL ?*AK

IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS I HAVE HAD 2 MAJOR CAR REPAIRS ON MY BLAZER. ON TRIP TO THE CHEVY DEALER THEY REPLACED THE FOLLOWING: HIFT SOLINOID RIGHT FRONT HUB BRG DRY/GROUWLING, BRG FAILED REPLACED HUB BRG ASSMY. MY TRUCK HAD 54,515 MILES. *AK THE STONE MOUNTAIN CHEVROLET DEARLERSHIP IN STONE MOUNTAIN GA DID THE REPAIR. THE NEXT LARGE REPAIR IS FOR A REAR DIFFERENTIAL OVERHAUL. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY MAJOR TOWING BUT THER IS NO HICH ON THE TRUCK AND THERE IS 99,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK.

FRONTAL SEAT ADJUSTER LEVER BROKE COMPLETE OFF WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE BEING APPLIED. THIS MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE IN THE CURRENT POSITION THE SEAT WAS IN. ALSO, BOTH FRONT DOORS WERE LEAKING AND WERE HARD TO OPEN OR CLOSE EVEN WHEN THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WAS ENGAGED. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE DOOR'S BUSHING AND PINS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE FULE SENDING UNIT WENT OUT AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 50,000 MILES. *AK
