TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE IN MOTION AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING FORWARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS THE REACTION SUN SHELL. ALSO, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SHAFT IN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DEALER DIDN'T REPLACE THE SHAFT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 55,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,739.*AK THE CONSUMER HAS PROVIDED A COPY OF THE REPAIR INVOICE. UPDATE 05/10/07*TR

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 WAS BACKING MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER AND HIT MY 2007 YUKON AT LESS THAN 2 MPH. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE YUKON, BUT THE WHOLE REAR TAILGATE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THE BLAZER. A WHOLE NEW REAR TAILGATE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH ALL ACCESSORIES. *JB
FAILURE OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE OPTION. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ON THE FIRST OCCASION. EVERY WINTER SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY BLAZER THE SWITCH FOR THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED. *NM
PO410 CODE FOR EMISSIONS SYSTEM - SECONDARY AIR PUMP I HAVE HAD THE CAR 5 YEARS. HAVE REPLACED 2 SECONDARY AIR PUMPS ON EMISSIONS SYSTEM AT CONSIDERABLE COST. BOTH CORRODED FROM WATER ENTRY. KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM ON BLAZERS. *NM
TRANSMISSION FAILURE AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER CONSUMERS. 4TH GEAR INOPERABLE. *JB
I OWN A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER AND WHEN IT RAINS THE BRAKES GO OUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP THE PEDAL WON'T GO TO THE FLOOR AND IT WHEN YOU TRY TO PUSH THE BREAKS IT MAKES A FUNNY CLICKING KIND OF NOISE AND THE PEDAL JUST HOPS NOT LETTING YOU BREAK.

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER AND WHEN IT RAINS THE BRAKES GO OUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP THE PEDAL WON'T GO TO THE FLOOR AND IT WHEN YOU TRY TO PUSH THE BREAKS IT MAKES A FUNNY CLICKING KIND OF NOISE AND THE PEDAL JUST HOPS NOT LETTING YOU BREAK. THEN WHEN YOU TAKE OFF AFTER YOU STOPPED (BY THE EMERGENCY BREAK)THE BACK END SLIDES SIDEWAYS LIKE THE FRONT BREAKS ARE LOCKED UP. I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF AND MY KIDS BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP! THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS OR GO THROUGH WATER. OTHERS WITH THE SAME KIND OF VEHICLE SAID THE HAD THAT PROBLEM AS WELL. *NM
TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER, DID NOT TURN ON WHEN BRAKES WER APPLIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED ,AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. NEITHER THE ROAD CONDITIONS NOR THE WEATHER WERE FACTORS IN THE FAILURE. *AK
I HAVE BAD SEAT ACCESSORIES, IF I HADN'T UNPLUGGED THE CIRCUIT UNDER THE SEAT,THE SEAT WOULD MOVE ME BACK AND FORTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SUBJECT. ALSO THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IS VERY INCONVENIENT TO SAY THE LEAST. *NM
