SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
THE ABS MODULE WENT BAD. SYMPTOMS WERE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEEDS AND VEHICLE NOT STOPPING. YOU PUSH THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL PUSHED BACK AT YOU. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. I HAD TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE BECAUSE IT WAS SAFER TO HAVE NOT HAVE ABS THAN TO APPLY BRAKES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. THE PART IS ALSO UNAVAILABLE FROM AFTERMARKET STORES, DEALER ONLY ITEM AT $500 A PIECE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 BLAZER AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL & EMPTY CONSTANTLY. ONCE IT HITS A HALF TANK, IT STOPS KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET. SEEN TOO MANY COMPLAINTS NOW, GM SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE. *TR

WHEELS:RIM
I WAS RETURNING FROM BEAUFORT, SC WITH MY NIECE'S 1 YR AND 2 YR OLD CHILDREN. MY NIECE IS IN THE MILITARY AND I WAS BRINGING THE KIDS BACK TO STAY WITH MY SISTER, THEIR GRANDMOTHER, FOR A MONTH. OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA ON I75 AT 1:00 AM I HEARD A HUGE BANG AND THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY CAR FLEW INTO THE AIR. I HAD ANOTHER NIECE, WHO WAS 3 MONTHS PREGNANT, WITH ME WHO WAS RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT. WHEN THE CAR FLEW UP SHE FLEW UP AND HIT THE ROOF OF THE CAR. LUCKILY SHE HAD HER SEAT BELT ON OR SHE MIGHT HAVE BROKEN HER NECK. MY NIECE SAW THAT I WAS TRYING TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR AND LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE IF ANY VEHICLES WERE NEAR SO WE COULD GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO VEHICLES WERE AROUND SO WE MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY NIECE WALKED BACK DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO SEE IF SHE COULD FIND WHAT WE HAD RAN OVER. WHEN AN OFFICER CAME TO HELP CHANGE THE TIRE TO THE SPARE HE SHOWED ME IT WAS NOT A FLAT TIRE BUT THAT MY RIM HAD EXPLODED. THE OFFICER CHANGED THE TIRE, FOLLOWED US TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE THEN LEFT US TO DRIVE BACK TO CHAMPAIGN, IL. THE EXPLODING RIM CAUSED THE RADIATOR RACK, RIGHT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, RIM, TIRE, TO BE FIXED. THEN THE CAR HAD TO BE ALIGNED. LUCKILY MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAFECO, PAID FOR EVERYTHING BUT MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE. I STILL HAVE THE RIM SITTING IN MY KITCHEN IN CASE ANYONE WANTED TO EXAMINE IT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER AND AROUND A YEAR AND A HALF AGO MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CLOSING IT. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID DOOR WAS TOO HEAVY AND THE BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPAIR THE STRIKER PLATE. THAT COST WAS $175 AND SHORTLY AFTER THE DOOR STARTED SLIPPING DOWN AGAIN. NOW THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, I CAN CLOSE IT BUT CANNOT USE IT. I HAVE A SON THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE LETTING HIM SIT IN THE FRONT WITH ME BECAUSE AFTER DRIVING AND GOING OVER BUMPS IT GETS JARRED AND STARTS COMING OPEN. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND UNTIL NOW I DID NOT KNOW WHO TO COMPLAIN TO. I ALSO HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR ANY OF THE LISTED RECALL PROBLEMS SUCH AS SEAT BELTS. I REALLY WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY USED 2000 CHEVY BLAZER 4 DOOR 4WD THIS YEAR AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ERRATIC. WHEN FILLED UP IT READS FULL BUT AFTER DRIVING OVER 150 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE JUMPS AROUND FROM EMPTY TO FULL CONTINUOUSLY. I'VE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AT THIS SITE AND BELIEVE CHEVY HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT THEY NEED TO RESEARCH AND CORRECT. I BELIEVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS IN ORDER. *TR

ON OUR 2000 CHEVY BLAZER 4WD OUR BRAKE LIGHT DO NOT WORK AND NEITHER DOES THE HAZARD LIGHTS. I HAVE REPLACE THE BULBS BUT STILL THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.
