2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK, DEALER DETERMINED THAT WINDSHIELD WIPER WIRING HAD NOT BEEN CONNECTED AND HAD BURNED OUT THE FUSES.*AK

DRIVER'S SEAT FAILS TO LOCK INTO POSITION ON SEAT TRACK AND WILL SLIDE DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE FIVE TIMES ,AND HAS FAILED TO EFFECTIVELY REMEDY PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION.*AK

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF DURING NORMAL OPERATION AT NIGHT. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION.*AK

THROTTLE STUCK WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES, AND VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN. AS SOON AS CONSUMER STOPPED APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACK TO 35 MPH. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. *AK

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED INSIDE OF VEHICLE WOULD OVERHEAT UP TO 120 DEGREES. THIS CAUSED DRIVER'S LEGS TO BECOME VERY RED. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT PROBLEM WAS OKAY IN THE BEGINNING. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED THAT PROBLEM LIES WITH WAY VEHICLE WAS BUILT. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. VEHICLE WAS LEASED. *AK

MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS FAILED TWICE ON A 2000 MODEL CHEVY BLAZER. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 33939 MILEAGE IN MARCH 01. WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRENTY. THIS SAME MULTIFUCITON SWITCH FAILED AGAIN IN DEC. 01 AT 48659 MILEAGE. HAD TO FILE CLAIM WITH EXTENDED WARRENTY, DEALER TOLD ME THE PART WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 12MONTHS/12K MILESAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS SWITCH SHOULD BE MALFUNCTIONING AT THIS INTERVAL AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS NO LONG WORK AND THERE IS NO WARNING OF THIS SAFTY PROBLEM, SOMEONE HAD TO STOP ME IN TRAFFIC TO TELL ME I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MANY OTHER CHEVY BLAZERS HAVE BEEN IN WITH THE SAME SWITCH FAILURE BUT NO BULLENTINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY GM. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 15K MILES OR LESS. THIS IS A REAL SAFTY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THIS.*AK

BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AFTER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. MECHANIC TOLD ME I SHOULD TAKE TRUCK BACK TO DEALER SINCE MY REAR SHOCKS WERE VERY WET (LEAKING) AND THEY ARE SEALED AND SHOULD NOT LEAK. BROUGHT TO DEALER, NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO LOOK AT IT (SINCE THEY'D PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THEM SINCE THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY) BUT TOLD ME "CHEVROLET HAS STATED THAT A LITTLE SEEPAGE IS NORMAL". PROBLEM CONTINUES NOW, WITH 43K MILES ON IT, AND THEY ARE FAR FROM "A LITTLE WET" - BUT COMPLETELY BLACK (AND THEY'RE YELLOW SHOCKS) - CONSTANTLY WET, AND TRUCK RIDES LIKE THERE ARE NO SHOCKS. WILL BRING BACK TO DEALER AGAIN, AND OF COURSE, NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, GUARANTEE HE'LL TELL ME THEIR BAD.*AK

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES. ALSO, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *AK

EVERY PLACE I HAVE CONTACTED ABOUT THESE REPAIRS HAS STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THESE TWO PRODUCT-WIDE PART DEFECTS. PER SCOTT AT DARRYL BURKE, THE MF SWITCH HAS BEEN GOING OUT ON MOST AFFECTED VEHICLES, WHICH HAS BEEN A PRODUCT-WIDE FAILURE, PRIOR TO THE 36OOO MILE WARRANTY LIMIT. PER JR AT ATLANTIC AVE. TIRE IN CARY, NC, 919 872-0786, HE AND HIS SUPPLIER ARE AWARE OF THE BROAD MF SWITCH FAILURES WHICH CAUSE LOSS OF REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND COULD NOW BE THE MAIN FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO MANY ACCIDENTS. ALSO,SCOTT AT DARRYL BURKE'S SVC DEPT TOLD ME TODAY NOT TO BOTHER SPENDING $340 TO REPLACE THE SEAT ADJ LEVERS AS THEY WILL JUST BREAK AGAIN AS THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PRODUCT UPGRADE ISSUED TO FIX THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PRODUCT WIDE PROBLEM. IF THE SEAT CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED SO THAT THE DRIVER IS COMFORTABLE AND HAS OPTIMUM VISIBILITY, THIS PROBLEM CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DRIVER ERROR AND ACCIDENTS.*AK
