2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED. CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

BLINKER SOUND CONTIUNES WHEN BLINKERS ARE NOT REALLY ON, IT'S ANNOYING AND AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MANY CAR REPAIR SHOPS HAVE HEARD OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME VEHICLE. *AK

THE TURN SIGNAL IN THE VEHICLE BEGAN CLICKING EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS IN THE NEUTRAL (OFF) POSITION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HOWEVER, THE TURN SIGNALS APPEARED TO WORK PROPERLY. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WHILE SITTING AT A LEFT TURN LIGHT WITH THE TURN SIGNAL ON, A WHITE STREAM OF SMOKE BEGAN COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN IN THE VICINITY OF THE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL. I TURNED OFF THE LEVEL, AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET, BUT I AM AFRAID A FIRE MAY START IN THE VEHICLE FROM THIS. IT APPEARS THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (# 01073) RELATED TO NHTSA ITEM # 636517 THAT MAY BE RELATED OR THE SAME, BUT THE DEALER SAYS NO RECALL IS OPEN AND WILL ONLY CHARGE TO REPLACE THE PART(S). THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY/FIRE RELATED ISSUE AND I HAVE READ NUMEROUS CASES ONLINE WHERE OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE FROM THE TURN SIGNAL TOO.*AK

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. ALL AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET S10 BLAZER 2 DR. IT IS A 4X4 WITH A 4.3L V6. SEAT HANDLES BROKE A COUPLE OF TIMES. TERRIBLE LIFESPAN ON THOSE. HAD REPLACED TWICE.*AK REPLACED DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. WASN'T HOLDING CHARGE. ALSO LED TO A NEW BATTERY AND SERPENTINE BELT. HAD TO REPLACE FUSES FOR FUEL GAUGE. IT WAS JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE GIVING INCORRECT READINGS. HAD TO REPLACE NUMEROUS FUSES. TERRIBLE WHINING COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. CHEVY DEALER TELLS ME IT IS TESTING FINE. BUT NOW I AM HAVING WHAT SEEMS LIKE VAPOR LOCK PROBLEMS ON HOT DAYS. I'LL GO TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO NO WHERE AND THEN CATCH AND ACCELERATE. ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE BUT HASN'T YET. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NOTHING. TERRIBLY SPORATIC AND MAKES VEHICLE UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. IT HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT NOW. ONGOING PROBLEM TO THIS DAY AND I'M TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THE LACK OF ACCELERATION IS THE PUMP OR ANOTHER PROBLEM. PEDAL NOT STICKING LIKE IT WAS A THROTTLE LINKAGE. REAR WINDSHIELD PUMP DOES NOT WORK. CHEVY RIM CAPS KEEP BREAKING AND COMING OFF. $30 DOLLARS APPRX. FOR EACH ONE AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR AT LEAST ONCE.

VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING COMING FROM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. CONSUMER MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. ALSO, CONSUMER HAD A CONCERN THAT THE FAULTY WIRING SHORT COULD HAVE IGNITED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSED AN EXPLOSION. *AK

TRANSMISSION FALURE, REVERSE SECOND AND THIRD GEAR, TRANSFER CASE FAILURE, CRUISE CONTROL DOESNT WORK, DASHBOARD CLUSTER FAILURE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD SOUND. HE LOOKED AROUND AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. LATER,CONSUMER ARRIVED TO HIS DESTINATION AND TRIED TO PARK, BUT DID NOT HAVE REVERSE. HE WENT FORWARD AND HAD A HARD TIME GETTING INTO GEAR. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND IT WAS BEING CHECKED FOR DEFECTS. *AK

FUEL GUAGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL ANYTIME FUEL TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL. I AM WORRIED ABOUT POSSIBLE VOLTAGE PROBLEMS IN THE TANK.*AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED THAT ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE JERKING AND ENGINE SLIPPING. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK *NM

TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILURE 69,800 MILES COST AT AMMCO TRANSMISSION $1639.00. LEAK OUT OF SIDE OF TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE CUASED FIRE IF I DID NOT SEE LEAK.GAS GAUGE ALSO DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY.I NEVER NOW WHEN I AM OUT OF GAS.KNOCK IN PASSENGER SIDE FIREWALL A PROBLEM.SEAT LEVER BROKEN FOR SECOND TIME.THE OLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS CAR IS I HAVE 70,000 MILES ON THE BRAKE PADS.BUT TOMARROW I MAY NEED A MASTER CYLINDER THE WAYS THINGS ARE GOING.BACK REAR WINDOW RELEASE LEVER FAILURE COST ME $300.00 TO FIX. I REALLY FEEL THAT CHEVY SHOULD HAVE NOT BUILT THIS VEHICLE AT ALL. THEY KNEW THE PROBLEMS AND CONTINUED NOT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS.I FEEL THE SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE GAS GAUGE PROBLEM AND HELPED WITH THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR.THIS IS MY LAST GM VEHICLE SO I GUEST IT DOESN'T MATTER. I LOOKED AT A CHEVY EQUINOX AND WAS CONCIDERING IT. BUT UNLESS THEY GIVE ME A 100,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I WILL BUY A TOYOTA OR NISSAN. AT LEAST THEY KNOW HOW TO BUILD GOOD TRANSMISSIONS!!!!*AK
