SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
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

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED ON OCTOBER 25, 2006 BY MASTER TOWING CO. IN SAN MARCOS, TEXAS. LATER THAT EVENING I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE WRECKER SERVICE AND PAY TO GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF IMPOUND. ONCE I GOT HOME, I NOTICED THAT MY ENTIRE CD CASE FULL OF COMPACT DISCS WAS MISSING. ITS VALUED AT ABOUT $500 IF NOT MORE. I THEN CALLED THE WRECKER SERVICE THE NEXT MORNING AND WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF ANYONE UNTIL MONDAY OCT. 27, 2006. I THEN SPOKE TO A MANAGER BY THE NAME OF ANGIE AND SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH HER DRIVERS. SHE NEVER GOT BACK TO ME SO I CONSISTENTLY CALLED UNTIL I GOT A RESPONSE. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF HER SHE SAID THAT NONE OF HER DRIVERS HAD SEEN OR PICKED IT UP AND THAT HER COMPANY WAS NOT LIABLE FOR MY MISSING ITEMS. SHE DID NOT EVEN SEEM VERY CONCERNED WITH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED OR TRY AND AT LEAST FIND THEM. SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD GET BACK TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SHE NEVER DID. I WAS THE ONE TO CONSISTENTLY TRY AND GET A HOLD OF HER. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS VERY UPSETTING. IN THE MEAN TIME I CONTACTED THE OFFICER WHO DEALT WITH MY VEHICLE BEING IMPOUNDED AND HE TOLD ME HE DISTINCTLY REMEMBERED THERE BEING 2 CD CASES IN MY VEHICLE AND I TOLD HIM ONCE I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP THERE WAS ONLY ONE CD CASE LEFT IN MY VEHICLE. HE INFORMED ME THAT I WAS ABLE TO FILE A THEFT POLICE REPORT WHICH I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING AND HE ALSO TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE DOT. SO THAT IS MY CURRENT SITUATION. I AM VERY UPSET. THIS I AM NOT TAKING LIGHTLY AND I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I GOT MY CAR IMPOUNDED, THAT WAS ENOUGH! THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ANY OF MY POSSESSIONS TO HAVE BEEN LOST, TAKEN OR STOLEN. PLEASE GET BACK IN CONTACT WITH ME. THANK YOU. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
BLAZER SEEPING OIL FROM OIL PAN, WILL NOT FIX ONLY IF I PAY 75% DUE TO 90 DAY WARRANTY,AND TOLD IF THEY WOULD FIX IT I WOULD ONLY CREATE MORE PROBLEMS, IT WAS ALSO TOLD BY DEALER AND CHEVY THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR YEAR AND MILEAGE, I DON'T THINK SO WITH 47,000 MILES, WHEN I OWNED A 97 CHEVY WITH 97,000 MILES , NO LEAKS BUT SALESMAN KNEW OF IT 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE WHEN 30 DAY BUMPER TO BUMPER EXISTED,WAS AT DEALERSHIP JULY 6, 2006 FOR ALL ITEMS BUT CHEVY NOR DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTED IT OR THE GREASE FITTINGS, LUBE, CHECK FLUID LEVELS LIKE WAS SUPPOSE TO DO, SALESMAN CHECKED FLUIDS FOR ME AFTER THEY NEGLECTED TO DO THEIR JOB.. SO CHEVY SAYS CAN'T GO BY SALESMAN BECAUSE HE NO LONGER WORKS THERE, SEEPING OIL FROM OIL PAN IS NOT NORMAL, I DIDN'T RECEIVE A ODOMETER PAPER ON IT OR MY TRADE IN.. I FEEL THEY ARE DOING ME WRONG AND CHEVY IS BACKING THEM UP, I EVEN GAVE SALESMAN NUMBER AND TOLD THEM I HAVE A NOTE PAD HERE OF ALL THAT WAS TO BE DONE WITH PAGES AFTER ON NOTE PAD WRITTEN ON AFTER THAT DAY AND THEY WON'T LISTEN. THEY NEVER GAVE ME CORRECT MILEAGE ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *JB

CHEVY BLAZER CAME TO A SUDDEN HALT. MY FAMILY WAS VERY LUCKY WE WERE NOT GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE GROMMET ON DOOR HINGE IS WORN DUE TO MISALIGNMENT OF DOOR WHICH CAUSED THE DOOR LATCH TO HIT THE STRIKER IMPROPERLY. THIS RESULTED IN THE STRIKER BENDING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSED TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE DOOR WELL CAUSING THE BODY FRAME TO CRACK. ACCORDING TO THE BODY SHOP ESTIMATOR THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHEVROLET BLAZERS. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
WE HAVE OWNED 2000 BLAZER SINCE 0/6/2001 2ND OWNER BOUGHT WITH LESS THAN 19000 MILES ON IT. MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED BECAUSE OF RECALL ACTS UP WHEN BULBS ARE WEAK. WE ARE ON THE THIRD SET OF UPPER BALL JOINTS NONE PAID FOR BY WARRANTY. LEFT HUB ASSEMBLY FAILURE WHICH RESULTED IN ABS MALFUNCTION FIXED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. DRIVER DOOR HINGE ASSEMBLY RUSTED WOULD NOT CLOSE WITHOUT FORCE FIXED BUT NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. SUSPECT DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE LOUD SQUEAKING. MOST IMPORTANT! PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS DEVELOPED SAME PROBLEM AND WILL NOT SHUT CORRECTLY. ON MAY 01,2006 AFTER PICKING UP MY 12 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WE WERE TO STARTING TO DOWN THE STREET WHEN PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN!!!! I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED! THE HINGES AND PINS APPEAR TO BE GETTING WET AND RUSTING . ALSO ALL ROTORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE . THIS BLAZER HAS ONLY 88,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DECIDED TO INCLUDE ALL PROBLEMS BUT AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT DOORS, IF WE HAD BEEN GOING FASTER I AM AFRAID MY NEPHEW WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT OF VEHICLE!!! *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY 2000 BLAZER LS ZR2 HAS 68000 MILES ON IT. AROUND NOVEMBER 2005, WHEN I NEEDED MY HEATER IN THE MORNINGS, I NOTICED THAT IT WOULD NOT BLOW ANY HOT AIR. I HAVE HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED AND REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND STILL HAVE NO HEAT. I CAN SMELL COOLANT EVERY NOW AND THEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. SO, I AM LED TO BELIEVE THAT MY HEATER CORE IS LEAKING AND OR BLOCKED. I HAVE DONE SOME SEARCHING AROUND THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BLAZER'S AND IT IS CAUSED BY THE DEX-COOL COOLING FORMING A "SLUDGE" IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY REPAIRS, AS THEY HAVE KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS, YET STILL CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH THIS TYPE OF COOLANT ANYHOW. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2000 BLAZER ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. TWO YEARS AGO THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE HAD DONE THIS QUITE A FEW TIMES BEFORE THIS, BOTH IN WET AND DRY WEATHER. I HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I CURRENTLY KEEP THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES UNPLUGGED AS THEY ARE NOT SAFE. YOU THINK YOU ARE STOPPING AND THEN THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AS THE BRAKE ACTS UP. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED ME TO GET A TICKET AND HAVE HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUMS. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I HAVE PURCHASED A 2000 CHERVOLET BLAZER, I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP GAUGE, ONE THAT WILL NEVER TELL YOU THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GAS. THIS LEAD ME INTO RUNNING OUT OF GAS AT A VERY UNCIVILIZED AREA, AND IT COULD HAVE ENDED UP BEING A WRECK, IF A EMERGENCY LANE WASN'T AVAILABLE. A FEW WEEKS LATER I LEARNED THAT A ENTIRE FUEL PUMP WAS NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FROM TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH BLAZERS: THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES, GAS PROBLEMS, AND I BELIEVE CHEVY IS IN FAULT HERE FOR PRODUCING A FAULTY FUEL PUMP TO THOUSANDS OF OWNERS. THIS PART COSTS $400 TO REPLACE. *NM
