2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

4/8 I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT JUST DIED OUT AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. THERE WAS STILL POWER TO THE RADIO/LIGHTS ECT. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT KICK OVER. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS TAKEN TO DLR CHEVY73 BY GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ON 4/9, AROUND 2:30PM I SPOKE W/ CAROLYN TIRELLI-SERVICE ADVISOR, WHO AT FIRST SAID THERE WAS NOT WORD OF THE REPAIR. THEN STATED SHE SAW THE TEC PULLING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE SERVICE BAY. SHE ADVISED IT APPEARED HE WAS WRAPPING UP THE REPAIR JOB. AT 4PM SERVICE ADVISOR STEVE LAMBROSE CALLED AND ADVISED THE TEC TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE. SAID TEC SAW A SPARK, SMOKE THEN CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. TRIED TO STATE TEC HAD DONE NO REPAIR. CONTRARY TO WHAT CAROLYN TIRELLI ADVISED EARLIER. ADVISED FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED C. JAY HOUCK FIRE MARSHALL CAMDEN COUNTY 856-374-6176. STEVE LAMBROSE/SVC ADVISOR ADVISED ME TO ALSO CALL MY INSURANCE CO. GEICO/BARBARA MALANGA-CLAIMS ADJSTR/FIRE 800-645-7550 X5647. DEALER CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT PROBLEM WAS AT ALL. NO FINDINGS. CAR SMELLS LIKE ELECTRICAL FIRE. BUT ORIGINAL SYMPTOMS/FAILURE SEEM MORE LIKE FUEL LINE PROBLEM. NO PRIOR FAILURES OR WARNINGS. NO WARNING LIGHTS, STALL OUTS OR ANY INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I OR ANY PASSENGERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED THE WAY THIS OCCURRED. CAR FRONT END BROKEN OFF, HOOD BUCKLED FROM FIRE OR FIREMEN. /CAR A LITTLE OVER 1YR OLD. STILL WARRANTEED. PLEASE HELP/ADVISE.*AK

HEADLIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN DARK CURVED ROAD. LIGHT FLICKERED SO MUCH THAT CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO PULL OVER AND STRUCK A TREE HEAD-ON, AND ROLLED OVER ONCE. ABS BRAKES HAD FAILED. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. GMC FILED A COMPLAINT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSE UNKNOWN. WHEN CHANGING FROM TWO WHEEL DRIVE TO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BRAKES JAMMED, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

ENGINE STALLS WHILE IN OPERATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL OCCURS. DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. *YH

BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY, GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. DEALER STATED THIS WAS A TRAIT OF BLAZER, AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH BRAKES, BRAKING DISTANCE NORMAL. *AK *SLC

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR,CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED, THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD MANY FAILURES WHICH HAVE REQUIRED IT TO BE AT THE DEALER ON MANY OCCASIONS. NLM

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE REAR WHEELS IS 3 INCHES CLOSER THAN THE FRONT WHEELS, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE REAR WHEELS IS 64 INCHES WHILE THE FRONT WHEEL DISTANCE IS 67 INCHES, THE DEALER MEASURED OTHER BLAZERS AND FOUND THIS DIFFERENCE IS PRESENT IN ALL THE BLAZERS. NLM

THIS CONDITION RAISES THE REAR CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BLAZER AND INCREASES ROLL-OVER POTENTIAL. I SUSPECT THE WRONG AXLE WAS INSTALLED, PROBABLY ONE DESIGNED FOR A 2 WHEEL DRIVE BLAZER. IT WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME GM HAS MADE PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ASSEMBLY LINES RUNNING.*AK

ALL OF MY DOORS SOUND AS IF THEY ARE RATTLING ON THE HINGES. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR THEM A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. MY BRAKES ALSO MAKE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WHILE APPLYING THEM. ON 3 OCCASSIONS I HAVE ALMOST HIT MY HOUSE BECAUSE THE BRAKES DIDN'T STOP ME. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO CHEVROLET AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING.
