2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW PUMP, THEN 4 MONTHS LATER THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FUEL LINE ISSUE. MY SONS 2002 BLAZER DIED WHILE GOING DOWN THE STREET AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEAK IN THE FUEL LINES. AFTER SPENDING $331 FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW THE CHEVY DEALER WANTS OVER $200 FOR THE FUEL LINES FOR A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TRUCK ITSELF. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL LINES IN THIS YEAR AND MAKE TRUCK WITH NO RECALLS I KNOW OF TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER DEFECTIVE HAZARD SWITCH. BECAUSE OF FAULTY SWITCH, I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND NO HAZARD LIGHTS. THIS DEFECT IS DISCUSSED ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY WON'T COVER IT. THIS SWITCH IS MENTIONED IN AN NHTSA RECALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE HAZARD SWITCH DID NOT WEAR OUT. HOW OFTEN DOES A PERSON USE THIS SWITCH? IT IS A BAD DESIGN. *TR

99 - S-10 CHEVY TRUCK AND 02 CHEVY BLAZER: FUEL PUMP QUITS WHILE IN MOTION ON FREEWAY. A SAFETY ISSUE LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STEER ON SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. TRUCK TOWED AND FUEL PUMP SYSTEM REPLACED, A COSTLY EXPENSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE BODY QUIT WORKING. THE BRAKE LIGHT OVER THE HATCH STILL WORKED. THE TURN SIGNALS ALSO WERE NOT AFFECTED. I CHECKED FUSES AND LIGHT BULBS BUT BOTH WERE FINE. WHEN I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING OUT OF MY SPEAKER, LIKE THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING. I'M GLAD IT DIDN'T START A FIRE. I THEN DID AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS SOME RECALLS ON MY MODEL DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET THEY SAID THAT MINE WAS NOT ON ANY OF THE RECALL LISTS. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALLS WERE FOR. I'M NOT SURE WHY MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED EITHER THE ORIGINAL RECALL OR THE SUBSEQUENT ONES. I DO FEEL THAT IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL THEY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST SENT A WARNING LETTER. IF SOMEONE HADN'T TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN. *TR

2002 S-10 BLAZER 4WD CONCERN FIRST LET ME SAY I HAVE NOT CHANGED THE DRIVERS DOOR PINS AND BUSHINGS EVEN THROUGH I KNEW THEY WERE BAD. THE DOOR CLOSES AND LOCKS ON THE DOOR STRIKER THAN MOUNTS TO THE VEHICLE SIDE POST. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED, WHICH AT A SERVICE CENTER GETTING THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND REPLACING THE 4 WD DRIVE SHAFT, I RETURNED TO PICK MY CAR UP. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND LATCH, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE ENTIRE DOOR STRIKER ASSEMBLY FRACTURED THE SIDE POST METAL AND PUSHED INTO THE SIDEPOST ASSEMBLY. THIS PREVENTED THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. I WENT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN GRESHAM, OREGON, WE LOOKED AT THE DESIGN, THE DOOR STRIKER IS ONLY MOUNTED TO THE SHEETMETAL WITH A METAL BACKING SUPPORT BEHIND IT. MY QUESTION IS, HOW DID THIS VEHICLE PASS ANY KIND OF SIDE IMPACT TEST WITH THIS DESIGN? THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE DOOR FROM FLYING OPEN IS WHAT I DESCRIBED ABOVE. I AM SHOCKED THAT THE DOOR STRIKER IS NOT SECURED TO A STEEL POST OF SOME KIND. I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE STRIKER ASSEMBLY TO KEEP INCASE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THEM. *TR

I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION NOR SOUND ON A TEST DRIVE SO THEY SAID TO COME BACK WHEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN. NEXT DAY SAME THING BUT IT STOPPED THE SOUND BEFORE I COULD GO BACK TO THE DEALER. AROUND 20,000 MILES IT WAS CONTINUES SOUND OF SCRAPING FROM FRONT WHEELS. I TOOK IT BACK TO GM DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ON THE REAR OF SUV. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS AND PUT NEW PADS ON REAR. COST OVER $200. THEN ABOUT 23,000 MILES THE SUV WOULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY AGAIN AT SLOW SPEEDS AND THE SCRAPING SOUND FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THEY REPAIRED THEM. AROUND 26,000 TOOK SUV TO DEALER FOR OIL LEAK THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE LEAK UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER ZERO DEDUCTIBLE WARRANTY. ALSO THEY SAID MY FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE DOWN TO 1% LEFT WITH DEEP PITTING AND RUST THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY GM $530 COST.. DUE TO I DON'T DRIVE MY SUV 12,000 A YEAR. I HAD THIS BRAKE ROTOR PROBLEM FROM 19,000 MILES .I ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON MY 2002 BLAZER. WITH A 5YR -54,000 MILE WARRANTY THAT STARTED AFTER MY LEASE END. NOW I'M TOLD I NEED REAR ROTORS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN TURNED. GM HAS DEFECTIVE BRAKE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM PLUS ROTORS AND SHOULD RECALL THEM !! *TR
