SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON BECAUSE OF UNEVEN WEAR. WAS TOLD THE CAUSE OF THE WEAR WAS NOT DUE TO MISALIGNMENT OF TIRES BUT BECAUSE OF WORN BALL JOINTS. TIRE DEALER COULD NOT ALIGN TIRES. DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND TWO ITEMS THAT SEEM TO COME UP WITH THE 2000 CHEVY BLAZER ARE THE BAD CONTOL ARMS/BALL JOINTS AND BAD 4 WHEEL DRIVE COMPUTER MODULE. BLAZER HAS 42000 MILES ON IT AND IS DRIVEN ON GOOD ROADS.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS OPERATING ERRATICALLY, CAUSING THE GAS GAUGE TO BE INACCURATE. THE COST OF REPAIR IS $400.00 FOR A NEW SENDING UNIT/FUEL PUMP AND $200 FOR LABOR! I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER GM OWNERS THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM. GM WILL NEVER GET MY MONEY FOR A NEW CAR AGAIN IF THEY DON'T OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
THE GAS GUAGE ON MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY STARTED BOUNCING AROUND ON MY VEHICLE SO MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE.

I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE SENDING UNIT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND NOW I'LL HAVE TO PAY IN EXCESS OF 600.00.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER. IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AFTER LONG TRIPS ON THE INTERSTATE(HAPPENED 3 TIMES). THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO BILL HEARD CHEVROLET. CODE ERROR 1870 WAS RECORDED. IT WAS A VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 67,000 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ANY SPEED AND WHILE IDLING IN PARK, THE ENGINE RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE GAS FILTER, IGNITION WIRING, AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *SC *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ ACCURATELY. WHEN I FILL THE TANK THE GAUGE GOES TO FULL. IT SEEM TO READ ACCURATELY UNTIL GETTING TO HALF TANK. AT THAT TIME IT REMAINS RIGHT AT HALF FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH FURTHER I DRIVE. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS A VERY UNSAFE POSSIBILITY! THE REPAIR FOR THE SENDING UNIT WAS QUOTED TO ME $750 WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *LA

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. TRUCK HAS NO GAS, YET GAUGE SHOWS OVER A QUARTER TANK. SOMETIMES GAUGE FLUCTUATES FROM FULL TO EMPTY RANDOMLY WITHOUT REASON AFTER BELOW HALF A TANK. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES ON HIGHWAY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COSTLY REPAIR. I KNOW PLENTY OF OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AS WELL AS SEEING NUMEROUS POSTINGS. *LA

WHEELS
I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS IN MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT (VIN [XXX]). EACH REPLACEMENT COST WAS $238.00, INCLUDING LABOR. THE BEARINGS SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED REPLACED WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT. I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH THIS AND WANT TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
