I HAVE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, THE GAS GAUGE ON MY VEHICLE STOP WORKING AND I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHEN I REALIZED PROBLEM 2 THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE STALLS, AND WHEN IT FINALLY TAKE OFF, THE CAR JERKS AND THE DRIVER SEAT MOVES/SLIDES BACK FROM THE HINGES WHICH CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO REACH MY BREAKS AND RUN INTO A CURB. ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STICKS AND IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN. LASTLY THE WHEEL BARING AND BALL JOINTS HAVE GONE BAD TWICE AND THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 75000 MILES ON IT. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND EXPLAINED ALL OF MY CONCERNS AND WAS TOLD THEY WE NOT AWARE OF ANY NATIONWIDE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT FIX THE HAZARD LIGHT MALFUNCTION. I RESEARCHED ON THE NET AND FOUND MANY MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME CONCERNS I HAVE. *JB

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER LS 4X4. UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER REPLACED THE OIL LINES BY THE OIL FILTER, WHOLE SEAT MECHANISM, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR, REAR SHOCK. THEY ALSO FIXED MY HOOD RATTLE AFTER 5 VISITS TO THE DEALER AND I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG THE FIRST TIME IT WENT IN. SINCE THEN AT 40,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT AND HAD IT REPLACED AND AT THE SAME TIME HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED SINCE THAT WENT OUT ALSO. AT 50,000 MILES THE SAME ONE WENT OUT AGAIN AND HAD IT REPLACED. NOW AT 68,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS BAD. ALSO ON MY FIRST WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT, THEY TOLD ME THE BALL JOINTS WERE VERY LOOSE AND SHOULD THINK ABOUT REPLACING THOSE ALSO. THESE THINGS SHOULD NEVER BE GOING WRONG WITH SUCH LOW MILES. FROM WHAT I AM READING ON THE WEB AND HEARING FROM THE DEALERS, THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT CHEVY WILL NOT RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I SURE AM HAPPY THAT I HAVEN'T HAD A WHEEL FALL OFF AND KILL SOMEONE YET. *JB

I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PAINT JOB OF MY CHEV. BLAZER ZR2 (2000). THE PAINT HAS "EGG SHELLED" IN TWO SPOTS. THE FINISH ON THE ROOF RACK AND WINDOW TRIMS IS PEELING AND FADING. THE TIRE RACK IS RUSTED IN ALL THE JOINTS. THE PAINT DID NOT HOLD UP AND IS VERY DISTASTEFUL.*AK

THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED WHEN I HIT A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT. IT WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT (WHERE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MEETS THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR, THAT STRIP OF METAL) WHEN I PULLED SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT TO LEAVE THE LOT. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY FAST, THIS POLE WAS WITHIN 4' OF MY CAR, YET THIS APPROX 4" DIAMETER METAL POLE COMPLETELY CRUSHED THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FRAILTY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED A CAR'S OCCUPANTS. I'D LIKE CHEVY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY. IT'S BACK TO VOLVOS FOR THIS WOMAN. *AK

I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THAT, BUT ALSO OFFERED AN IMPLAUSABLE EXPLANATION FOR A SCENARIO WERE SEPARATION FROM THE GLASS MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION OR EVEN INVESTIGATE IT.
