2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF WITHIN TWO DAYS OF EACH OTHER. CAN NOT ADJUST SEAT BACK TO PROPER/SAFE DRIVING POSITION. SEAT CONTINUES TO RECLINE BACKWARDS MAKING IT UN-SAFE TO DRIVE. CONTACTED DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WOULD NOT FIX WITHOUT CHARGES. HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS DEFECTS ON THIS CONDITION POSTED ON THE BULLITIN BOARDS AND PROVIDED THE DEALER WITH THIS AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN THERE IS AN APPARENT DEFECT IN THIS PRODUCT. DT

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS 75% OF THE TIME UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION, WHETHER THAT IS FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING. THE STICKING IS SUCH THAT FORCE HAS TO BE EXERTED TO GET THE PEDAL TO DEPRESS THEREBY CAUSING LURCHING OF THE VEHICLE. IN PARKING LOT SITUATIONS OR ON ICY ROADS THIS CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, BOTH FRONT SEAT ADJUSTERS THAT ALLOW THE SEAT TO BE REPOSITIONED HAVE BROKEN OFF WHILE TRYING TO REPOSTION THE SEAT. WHEN WE REPORTED THESE ITEMS TO OUR DEALER THEY SAID THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS THEY ARE SEEING FREQUENTLY. IF THIS IS SO I FEEL IT IS A DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE SEAT LEVERS WERE PLASTIC PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE METAL AND BOTH BROKE OFF WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. DT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE FOR REVERSE, SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. THE CLUTCHES (AUTOMATIC) HAD BEEN REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2001 AND NOW THEY HAD BLOWN. MECHANIC SAID THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG NEW BLAZERS. GM AT FIRST INDICATED THEY WOULD CONSIDER HELPING OUT IF THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND THEN CHANGED STORIES TO SAY THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THEN THEY WOULD CONSIDER IT; HOWEVER, IT WASN'T LIKELY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T HAVE TWO IDENTICAL MAJOR ISSUES WITHIN 15,000 MILES OF EACH OTHER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FIRST REPAIR WAS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

WHEN LIFTING REAR HATCHBACK WINDOW POPPED UP. WHEN CLOSING WINDOW ON THE WAY DOWN, IT SHATTERED INTO PIECES, GLASS FLEW EVERY WHERE. DEALER CONTACTED.*AKJLG

WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS STEEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE HARD BECASUE LOWER BALL JOINT WAS UINSTABLE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
