2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

1. SECUNDAIRY AIRPUMP 2. MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH (INITIAL RECALL NEVER REC'D, ONLY REIMBURSED FOR $218)

NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND OR FAILURES, BAD FUEL AND EXHAUST PROBLEMS, SUSPENSION POPS EXCESSIVELY, GAS PEDAL STICKS INTERMITTENTLY, RADIO REPLACED TWICE, ELECTRIC SEATS AND WINDOWS MALFUNCTION

WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THE BRAKES WENT OUT, THE ROTORS WERE PEELING LIKE HUNGRY MAN BISCUITS, REPLACEMENT OF ALL 4 ROTORS AND SHOES WERE DONE, ABS STILL NOT WORKING. LOCAL CHEVY DEALER UNSURE OF PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES ON, CHEVY DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY. NOW AT 7 1/2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, TORQUE CONVERTER IS "COMING APART" ACCORDING TO AAMCO. IT HAS A TERRIBLE WHIN AND WE ARE HAVING IT LOOKED AT BY A LOCAL TRANSMISION SHOP TODAY (8/26/03). I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THIS SUV, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, SHOULD HAVE NOTICED SOME OF THIS HAPPENING OR STARTING TO HAPPEN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.

FUEL GAUGE SWINGS BETWEEN ? AND FULL AND STICKS AT HALF. BOTH FRONT LEFT & RIGHT SIDE HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY FAILED RIGHT SIDE NOT AS BAD AS LEFT HAD BOTH SIDES REPLACED-THESE ARE CRITICAL PARTS AS THEY HOLD WHEEL ON AXLE-I AM SECOND OWNER OF CAR BOUGHT FROM DEALER - DEALER TOOK 20% OFF TOTAL BILL-DEFECT NOT DEALERS FAULT BUT CHEVROLET?S-CALLED CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN OR WILL DO FOR ME AM STILL TRYING TO GET FULL REFUND FOR PARTS&LABOR FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT SHOULD HAVE NOT FAILED AT THIS LOW MILAGE.

THE SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT LEVERS BROKE ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THE METAL SHAFT IS DEFECTIVE. THE CHEVEROLET DEALER QUOTED $300 PER SEAT. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED #060601 FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA WEB SITE. CHEVEROLET WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE DRIVERS SEAT GETS BROKEN IN THE FULL RECLINE POSITION, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER.

OIL LEAKS WHERE OIL LINES CONNECT TO THE REMOTE OIL FILTER. MECHANIC INDICATED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHEVY SUV/TRUCKS WITH REMOTE OIL FILTER SYSTEMS. *LA

THE LEVER ON THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SEATS THAT RECLINES THE SEATS BACK. THEY SNAP RIGHT OFF. THEY HAVE REPLACED ONE AT COST NOW BOTH ARE BROKE. THE BAD THING IS IT HAPPENED TO ME OUT OF TOWN AND I HAD TO FIND SOME PILLOWS TO PROP ME UP ENOUGH TO DRIVE. NOW I HAVE TO USE PLIERS. BUT THIS CAN HAPPEN IF YOU TRY TO RECLINE A LITTLE BACK WHILE DRIVING AND MAY GO ALL THE WAY BACK AND YOU CAN'T GET IT BACK UP.*AK

PURCHASED A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER FROM HARRY GREEN CHEV. IN BRIDGEPORT,WV.WE HAVE HAD A WATER LEAK COMING FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE WIND AND WATER COMES IN AROUND THE DOOR. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THEM NUMBEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING. THE LAST TIME WE TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS THERE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SHOULD STAND GOOD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEEMS AS IF THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN WRECKED BEOFRE WE PURCHASED IT BUT CAR FAX SAID THERE WASN'T NOTHING LISTED. WE STARTED OFF MAKING PAYMENTS AND THAT WAS FINE THEY WOULD MAKE REGULAR CHECK UPS BUT AS SOON AS WE PAID THE VEHICLE OFF IN FULL THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. THEY TOLD USE THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WON'T AND THEY WANT US TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE WINDSHIELD ALSO LOOKS AS IF IT MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *AK

I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE ORANGE ANTIFREEZE AND WAS TOLD THAT CHEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THEIR 5 YEAR ANTIFREEZE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A $500.00 ENGINE FLUSH THAT I COULD DO MY SHELF FOR $10.00 BUT I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS CORRODED UP INSIDE AND I WOULD NEED A NEW MOTOR AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED GM COMPLAINT LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEW OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT OFFER ME ANY HELP. THE COMPLAINT LINE WAS A JOKE AND A WASTE OF MY TIME.
