POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SLIPS, 38KMILES ON MY 2000 BLAZER, OUT OF WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER'S MECHANIC SAID HE HAS REPLACED A VALVE ON THE TRANSMISSION OF FOUR 2000 BLAZERS SO FAR THIS YEAR. I WILL MAKE NUMBER FIVE - QUOTED COST OF $850. SERVICE CENTER WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. READ SEVERAL REPORTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES SIMILAR TO MINE ON 2000 BLAZERS AND S-10S. WHY NO RECALL? IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY AM I NOT COVERRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY?!!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
ACCELERATION PEDAL HARD TO PUSH ACTS LIKE IT STICKS. THROTTLE BODY WAS CARBONATED UP. DEALERSHIP CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND STICKING STOPPED. THE STICKING USUALLY OCCURRED AT START UP BUT IT ALSO HAPPENED IF YOU REMOVED YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL DURING DRIVING TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN REAPPLIED YOUR FOOT TO ACCELERATE. I PUT UP WITH THIS FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE I HAD IT SERVICED. TS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
ACCELERATION PEDAL HARD TO PUSH, ACTS LIKE IT STICKS. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP WHICH CAUSED THE STICKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD THIS CLEANED. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER, HE SAID THIS WAS VERY COMMON WITH THE 4.3 V6 ENGINES. DEALER RECOMMENDED ADDING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER TO STOP THE BUILD UP OF CARBON. I HAD BEEN DOING THAT. SEEMS LIKE IT LESSENED THE BUILD UP BUT DID NOT PREVENT IT. I SUPPOSE THIS IS GOING TO BE NORMAL MAINTENANCE, SIMILAR TO AN OIL CHANGE. I HAVE HAD OTHER BLAZERS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM, IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE MANUFACTURER COULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW FOR OVER $26, 000, WE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY. FORTUNATELY, THESE REPAIRS (INCLUDING 4 WD FAILURE 3 X) WERE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED W/ TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT 34,000 MILES, WE BEGAN TO WORRY. I CONTACTED GM AT THAT TIME AND BEGGED THEM TO CONSIDER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. WHILE BEING EXTREMELY PLEASANT, THE ULTIMATE DECISION WAS "NO". THIS WAS BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER, GREG. HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REASON TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY, AS THE PROBLEMS HAD ALL BEEN FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAD NOT! THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 55,000 MILES WHILE DOING 55 MPH, ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE TRUCK MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE AND WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. AFTER CAREFULLY DRIVING IT TO A SAFE PLACE, I DISCOVERED THAT REVERSE WAS OUT AS WELL. I CONTACTED GREG AT THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NO LONGER COVERED. I THEN CONTACTED GM, AND AGAIN, WHILE BEING EXTREMELY PLEASANT, THEY HAVE NOT COMMITTED TO REPLACING OR EVEN HELPING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE 1ST AMERICAN CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER. IT IS MY FEELING THAT GM KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT IS UNWILLING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SHOULDN'T A 4 WD VEHICLE HAVE A TRANSMISSION THAT LASTS PAST 100,000! NOT TO MENTION 4 WD THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! DT

SEATS
DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF WITHIN TWO DAYS OF EACH OTHER. CAN NOT ADJUST SEAT BACK TO PROPER/SAFE DRIVING POSITION. SEAT CONTINUES TO RECLINE BACKWARDS MAKING IT UN-SAFE TO DRIVE. CONTACTED DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WOULD NOT FIX WITHOUT CHARGES. HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS DEFECTS ON THIS CONDITION POSTED ON THE BULLITIN BOARDS AND PROVIDED THE DEALER WITH THIS AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN THERE IS AN APPARENT DEFECT IN THIS PRODUCT. DT

SEATS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
THE GAS PEDAL STICKS 75% OF THE TIME UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION, WHETHER THAT IS FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING. THE STICKING IS SUCH THAT FORCE HAS TO BE EXERTED TO GET THE PEDAL TO DEPRESS THEREBY CAUSING LURCHING OF THE VEHICLE. IN PARKING LOT SITUATIONS OR ON ICY ROADS THIS CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, BOTH FRONT SEAT ADJUSTERS THAT ALLOW THE SEAT TO BE REPOSITIONED HAVE BROKEN OFF WHILE TRYING TO REPOSTION THE SEAT. WHEN WE REPORTED THESE ITEMS TO OUR DEALER THEY SAID THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS THEY ARE SEEING FREQUENTLY. IF THIS IS SO I FEEL IT IS A DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE SEAT LEVERS WERE PLASTIC PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE METAL AND BOTH BROKE OFF WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. DT
