2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE, NEXT DAY CAR MADE NOISES AND LEAKED OIL. CONTACTED DEALER, TWO DAYS LATER CAR NEEDED TWO QTS OF OIL. CAR DEALER THEN TOWED CAR,HAD CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID 'IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT'. EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

FUEL GAGE SWITCHES BETWEEN FULL TO EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE CAR IS AT STOP AND RUNNING, TO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU REALLY HAVE. I HAVE TAKEN TO WRITING DOWN THE MILEAGE EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WILDLY BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY WHEN TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL. IF YOU LOOK IT UP THE GMC JIMMY WHICH USES THE SAME FUEL SYSTEM HAS THE SAME CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE TANK. THIS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE RAN INTO ME, BUT IT DID CREATE A BAD TRAFFIC PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS A PROBLEM BUT THE MECHANICS I'VE TALKED TO SAY THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE TO REPAIR ALL THE TIME. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT GOES FROM EMPTY TO FULL ALL THE TIME NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. *TR

VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD FLASHERS, CONSISTENT WITH RECALL 01073. THESE ISSUED HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT, BUT IN THE PAST MONTH HAVE BECOME CONSTANT. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THAT THIS RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED IN 2002. THIS ISSUE WITH LIGHTS HAS OCCURRED SINCE 2007, CONTACT WITH CHEVY HAS BEEN OFF AND ON SINCE THAT POINT. CONTACTED CHEVY TODAY 9/15/2008 BECAUSE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH HAS NOW STARTED TO SMOKE WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE USED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY COMING FROM THE MFC WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN 2002. CHEVY HAS STATED THAT RECALLS ARE A ONE-TIME FIX AND ANY FURTHER ISSUES AT ANY POINT IS THE LIABILITY OF THE CUSTOMER. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT FOR A RESOLUTION OF A RECALL REPAIR WITH WAS PERFORMED ONLY 6 YEARS AGO. IF THIS ISSUE IS UNRELATED TO THE 01073 RECALL, I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF MY POCKET, BUT I WANT CHEVY TO INITIATE THE DIAGNOSIS, INSTEAD THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT WHATSOEVER TO EVEN DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS ERROR. I HAVE STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH ALL SAFETY FEATURES INTACT, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT 01073 ADDRESSED HAS RECURRED. I WOULD LIKE CHEVY TO BEAR THE COSTS OF DIAGNOSIS, AND COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR FOR ALL REPAIRS REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE MALFUNCTIONS RELATING TO THE HAZARD SWITCH AND/OR MFC (MULTI-FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL SWITCH). *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 2WD CHEVY BLAZER. WHEN IT RAINS ALOT. WHEN IT RAINS I GET A PUDDLE IN THE BACK FLOOR AND IT LEAKS ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL FOR THIS. I HAVE TO USE THE WET VAC TO CLEAN THIS UP EVERY TIME. THE OTHER ITEM WHEN IT RAINS IS SOMETIMES THE BLAZER WILL NOT EVEN START. IT IS LIKE IF THE CAR HAS TO DRY BEFORE IT CAN START AND STAY ON. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES VIOLENTLY AND RAPIDLY REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT WITH PART. ATTEMPT TO REPLACE HOWEVER OPTIONS ARE LIMITED DUE TO SENDING UNIT AND FUEL TOGETHER AS ONE UNIT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FRAME, CONTROL ARM, AND TORSION BAR HAD EXCESSIVE RUST. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE CLASSIFIED AS SAFE, SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME AND MEMBERS AT HER EXPENSE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED ITS WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000. UPDATED 10/14/08 *BF THE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST BUILD-UP. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PINS, BUSHINGS AND RETAINER HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST. UPDATED 10/15/08. *JB

THE ABS MODULE WENT BAD. SYMPTOMS WERE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEEDS AND VEHICLE NOT STOPPING. YOU PUSH THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL PUSHED BACK AT YOU. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. I HAD TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE BECAUSE IT WAS SAFER TO HAVE NOT HAVE ABS THAN TO APPLY BRAKES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. THE PART IS ALSO UNAVAILABLE FROM AFTERMARKET STORES, DEALER ONLY ITEM AT $500 A PIECE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON IT HOW DO I FIND OUT? *TR
