2000 Chevrolet Blazer

THE HANDLE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RECLINE THE SEAT BROKE OFF FLUSHED WITH THE SEAT, THIS HAPPENED TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS IN JUNE 2005. THE HOOD WILL NOT POP UP WHEN THE LEVER WAS PULLED UNTIL ONE BANGED ON THE GRILL OR THE HOOD IN CERTAIN SPOTS, WHICH JUST STARTED IN MARCH OF 2007. THE GAS MILEAGE DROPPED FROM 20 MPG TO 16 MPG WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE BACK GLASS STUCK AND WAS HARD TO OPEN, STARTED IN 2006. WHEN TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C ) THE CAR HAD NO POWER, I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE OR ON HILLS. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET IT KICKED OFF WHEN THE A/C WAS ON. WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY THE BRAKES FAILED, AND FELT A GRINDING SENSATION THROUGH THE PEDAL, BUT THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE BRAKES AND CHECKED THE ROTORS, BUT HASN'T FOUND ANY PROBLEM. SUSPECTED A DEFECT SOMEWHERE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM\ AS OF 2005. THE FAN KICKED ON ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD, AND IN WINTER WHEN FIRST STARTING. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IN MANY BLAZERS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BROKE OFF IN THE MUFFLER, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. HAD BEEN TOLD THIS HAPPENED SO MUCH THAT MOST PEOPLE LEFT THEM OFF. TOO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS TO MENTIONED. ALSO, THE HORN WORKED ONLY WHEN IT WANTED TO, PROBLEM IN THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK

I BOUGHT THE 2000 BLAZER USED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TO BEGIN, I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, FUEL PUMP, AND VIRTUALLY ALL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS IN THE FRONT END WITH JUST OVER 65,000 MILES. ON VACATION DURING ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR TRAVELING HOME THE BLAZER OVER HEATED AND LEFT MY FAMILY AND I STRANDED ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH NO A/C FOR NEARLY AN HOUR BEFORE GETTING TOWED TO THE WORST CHEVROLET DEALER IN THE COUNTRY(RICHMOND, VA). WE WERE FORCED TO PAY FOR A NEW RADIATOR AND MISCELLANEOUS PARTS TOTALING OVER $600. THEY SAID THE COOLANT SYSTEM WAS FULL OF RUST AND THE RADIATOR WAS PLUGGED AND COULD NOT BE REUSED. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON THAT WILL NOT GO OUT. AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER THAT STARTED WITH LEAKING OIL COOLER LINES, THEY SAID THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WAS GOING BAD. I REPLACED IT, STILL THE LIGHT STAYS ON. NEXT THEY SAY THERE IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2, I REPLACE THE PLUGS, WIRES, ROTOR, AND CAP. STILL THE LIGHT STAYS ON. ALL OF THESE REPAIRS WITHIN THE FIRST 14 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS JUNK AND IT IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR BEING PAID FOR. GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPOKE WITH OTHER BLAZER OWNERS AND THEY TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. AND THE BIG 3 WONDER WHY THEY ARE LOSING CUSTOMERS AND MARKET SHARE. HAVE THEY EVER HEARD OF QUALITY? LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING FOREIGN. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 2000 BLAZER IN 6/20/02 FROM A CHEVY DEALER IN PA . I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY . I HAVE UNTIL 6/07 OR100000 MILES I HAVE REPLACED THE COIL AND DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR 5 TIMES A NEW FUEL PUMP A CATALYTIC CONVERTER WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT TO ANYONE PRIVATE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP IT . THERE HAS BEEN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ISSUES SHORTS THAT MELTED THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD THAT MELTED THE RELAY FOR THE FUEL PUMP. ALSO THERE WAS A SHORT THAT WIPED THE COMPUTER CODES OUT AND I HAD A ROUGH TIME PASSING EMISSION TESTING I AM AT THE POINT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO SPEND ANY MORE ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED TWICE IN 4 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS ORSERVICE NOTICES . I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY LICENSED MECHANICS AND HAD IT SERVICED AT THE APPROPRIATE MILEAGE REQUIRED FOR THE WARRANTY. *NM

I HAVE PURCHASED A 2000 CHERVOLET BLAZER, I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP GAUGE, ONE THAT WILL NEVER TELL YOU THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GAS. THIS LEAD ME INTO RUNNING OUT OF GAS AT A VERY UNCIVILIZED AREA, AND IT COULD HAVE ENDED UP BEING A WRECK, IF A EMERGENCY LANE WASN'T AVAILABLE. A FEW WEEKS LATER I LEARNED THAT A ENTIRE FUEL PUMP WAS NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FROM TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH BLAZERS: THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES, GAS PROBLEMS, AND I BELIEVE CHEVY IS IN FAULT HERE FOR PRODUCING A FAULTY FUEL PUMP TO THOUSANDS OF OWNERS. THIS PART COSTS $400 TO REPLACE. *NM

I OWN A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER, 4 DR. LT MODEL. THE FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND WILL BOUNCE ALL OVER THE RANGE, WHENEVER THE FUEL LEVEL IS AT APPROX. 1/2 TANK OR LESS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF FUEL, ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE; BUT THE GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. THE LOCAL DEALER WANTS OVER $900.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IN DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *NM

MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZERS FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT AFTER 6 MOS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2003 AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE GAS GAGE WASN'T WORKING SO I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT. SO I STARTED ASKING AROUND AND A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THEIRS WENT OUT AS WELL I GOT QUOTES ON HOW MUCH TO FIX IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PRICE RANGE WAS $380-$460. AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL TANK JUST TO GET IT FIXED. ALSO THE REAR-END DIFFERENTIAL BROKE AND IT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FINALLY FIND ONE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T MAKE THE PART FOR THAT YEAR ANYMORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF MY CAR AND STRONGLY REGRET BUYING IT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. *NM

BALL JOINTS UPPER AND LOWER REPLACED AT 40K AND 100K MILES. WILL BE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN VERY SOON AT 140K MILES. THE REPLACEMENT AT 40K WAS A TOTAL FAILURE OF PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINTS TO WIT: VEHICLE WAS INCAPACITATED AS WHEEL WAS LEFT 'BENT'. FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATED WILDLY IF LESS THAN 1/3 TANK OF GAS. FUEL PUMP FAILED. *JB
