I JUST PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED BLAZER IN JULY OF 2003. IT WAS IN FOR ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE THERE THE TECHNICIAN SNAPPED OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE, WHICH MY DEALER LATER REPLACED. NOT TWO WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AS WELL. MY DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WITHOUT CHARGING ME FOR PARTS AND LABOR.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS SUBJECT AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER UNHAPPY CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *AK

THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED WHEN I HIT A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT. IT WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT (WHERE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MEETS THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR, THAT STRIP OF METAL) WHEN I PULLED SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT TO LEAVE THE LOT. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY FAST, THIS POLE WAS WITHIN 4' OF MY CAR, YET THIS APPROX 4" DIAMETER METAL POLE COMPLETELY CRUSHED THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FRAILTY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED A CAR'S OCCUPANTS. I'D LIKE CHEVY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY. IT'S BACK TO VOLVOS FOR THIS WOMAN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SHRUDDERING AND SLIPPAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION AT 23863. THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SEAL LEAKED, THE CHECK LIGHT WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT, THE HEATING SEAT WAS INOPERATIVE, THERE WAS A RATTLE IN RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION, THE TRANSMISSION HAD NO REVERSE, AND THERE WAS HARD SHIFTING INTO THE FORWARD GEARS. *SCC

SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 4X4 SUV HAS A PROBLEM. THE PRODUCTS USED ARE NOT VERY HEAT TOLERANT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT OR REPLACED. ALSO IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I AM SEEING AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE HEATING AND AIR SYSTEM ON THE BLAZER.*AK

THE RIGHT REAR AND BOTH FRONT BRAKE FLEX LINES FAILED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONSUMER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE CHEVROLET HEADQUARTERS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY FOR THE FAILURE. *MR *CB *NLM

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE FLEX LINES FAILED. THE FIRST TIME THE RIGHT BRAKE FLEX LINED FAILED. THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKE FLEX LINES FAILED ON BOTH FRONT CALIPERS. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEM OR DEFECTS REPORTED THEREFORE NO RECALL OR WARRANTY WAS ISSUED. *PH *NLM

MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER (88K MI.) HAD BOTH THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED STRANGE ABS ACTIVATION EVEN AT LOW SPEED AND LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION. MY DEALER SAID THE ABS CONTROLLER IS FAULTY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE VERY SAME SYMTOMS FROM OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AS TSB REFERENCES TO THIS DEFECT. THIS LOOKS LIKE A TREND AND A DESIGN FLAW AND A SAFTEY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THE ABS CONTROLLER SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED ON MY BLAZER AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO PAY FOR ALL OF IT BUT $100.00.

THE WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER I HAD IT. THE DEALER DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THAT. I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE DEALER ONLY COVERED 30% OF THE COST WHICH WAS BETTER THAN NOTHING.
