FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I JUST PURCHASED A 2000 BLAZER ZR2, WHEN THE GAS GAUGE HITS 3/4 TANK, THE GAUGE WILL BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO FULL. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I REALLY HAVE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE TO MYSELF, LET ALONE THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IT WOULD TAKE TO REPLACE THE FAULY SENSOR. I'VE FOUND THAT LOTS OF GM CONSUMERS ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, WHICH I FEEL GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 56000 MILES.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, EQUIPMENT
FRONT DOOR HINGES ON 2000 S-10 BLAZER HAVE ROTTED. DRIVER HINGE IN 2002, NOW PASSENGER HINGE (BOTH FRONT DOORS) IN JANUARY OF 05. DOOR HINGES BOTH NEEDED REPLACEMENT WHICH SEEMS EXTREMELY ODD ON FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND PROBABLY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO REPORT IT SIMULATANEOUSLY. IT'S FAILURE RESULTS IN THE INABILITY TO CLOSE THE DOORS, WHICH, DEPENDING ON WHEN THEY BREAK (I.E. WHEN CLOSING DOOR, HITTING A BUMP IN ROAD - WHICH COULD CAUSE CLOSED DOOR TO UNLATCH FROM POST, FLINGING DOOR OPEN WHILE DRIVING). I REALLY STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS BE LOOKED AT. IT APPEARS THAT THE WHEEL WELLS ALLOW ROAD SPRAY AND MOISTURE TO BE THROWN DIRECTLY INTO THE DOOR PANEL WELL WHERE THE HINGE IS LOCATED AND IS CAUSING THE ROT. LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO NOT SEAL THE DOOR HINGE AREA FROM THE WHEEL SPRAY AND DEBRIS THROW-BACK ZONE.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY BLAZER NOW HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS IN NEED OF FRONT END REPAIR - SPECIFICALLY THE BALL JOINTS ARE BADLY WORN, THE BOOTS ON THE FROND AXLE HAVE A BAD CRACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT IDLER WEAR. IN DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NUMEROUS BLAZER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TWO OTHER ISSUES THAT I AM NOW DISCOVERING ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH A GREAT NUMBER OF BLAZERS. BOTH FRONT RECLINING SEAT HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS SEEMING TO NOT ALIGN PROPERLY - AS IF THE WELDS OR HINGES ARE FAILING. THESE HAVE ALSO BEEN MENTIONED REPEATEDLY IN YOUR COMPLAIN AREA FOR THIS MODEL. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THESE ITEMS REPAIRED AS OF THIS DATE. THE BLAZER IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING TO TEXAS OVER CHRISTMAS AND AFTER I STOPPED IN COLORADO AND GOT FUEL BY THE TIME I REACHED WICHITA KANSAS IS WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO STAY AT FULL WHEN I KNEW IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. THE GAUGE BOUNCES AROUND WHEN IT IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. I TRAVEL A LOT AND IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE JUST HOW FAR I CAN DRIVE BEFORE I HAVE TO REFUEL. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AS OF YET. *NM
