STRUCTURE:BODY
I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PAINT JOB OF MY CHEV. BLAZER ZR2 (2000). THE PAINT HAS "EGG SHELLED" IN TWO SPOTS. THE FINISH ON THE ROOF RACK AND WINDOW TRIMS IS PEELING AND FADING. THE TIRE RACK IS RUSTED IN ALL THE JOINTS. THE PAINT DID NOT HOLD UP AND IS VERY DISTASTEFUL.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY VEHICLE'S FRONT END HAS BEEN GIVING ME ALOT OF FRONT END PROBLEMS. BOUNCING & MAKING A VIBRATION NOISE . I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY TELL ME THAT I NEED BALL JOINTS AND OTHER SUSPENSION PARTS DUE TO THE BALL JOINTS BEING BAD ON MY VEHICLE. I CALL AROUND TO OTHER REPAIR SHOPS & THEY SAY THAT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BLAZERS COSTING THE CONSUMER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. SO, WHAT IS CHEVY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ? WAIT UNTIL A NUMBER OF PEOPLE GET INTO ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY'LL NAME IT A RECALL ?*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
THE TURN SIGNAL IN THE VEHICLE BEGAN CLICKING EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS IN THE NEUTRAL (OFF) POSITION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HOWEVER, THE TURN SIGNALS APPEARED TO WORK PROPERLY. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WHILE SITTING AT A LEFT TURN LIGHT WITH THE TURN SIGNAL ON, A WHITE STREAM OF SMOKE BEGAN COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN IN THE VICINITY OF THE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL. I TURNED OFF THE LEVEL, AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. NO CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET, BUT I AM AFRAID A FIRE MAY START IN THE VEHICLE FROM THIS. IT APPEARS THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (# 01073) RELATED TO NHTSA ITEM # 636517 THAT MAY BE RELATED OR THE SAME, BUT THE DEALER SAYS NO RECALL IS OPEN AND WILL ONLY CHARGE TO REPLACE THE PART(S). THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY/FIRE RELATED ISSUE AND I HAVE READ NUMEROUS CASES ONLINE WHERE OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE FROM THE TURN SIGNAL TOO.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. ALL AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET S10 BLAZER 2 DR. IT IS A 4X4 WITH A 4.3L V6. SEAT HANDLES BROKE A COUPLE OF TIMES. TERRIBLE LIFESPAN ON THOSE. HAD REPLACED TWICE.*AK REPLACED DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR. WASN'T HOLDING CHARGE. ALSO LED TO A NEW BATTERY AND SERPENTINE BELT. HAD TO REPLACE FUSES FOR FUEL GAUGE. IT WAS JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE GIVING INCORRECT READINGS. HAD TO REPLACE NUMEROUS FUSES. TERRIBLE WHINING COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. CHEVY DEALER TELLS ME IT IS TESTING FINE. BUT NOW I AM HAVING WHAT SEEMS LIKE VAPOR LOCK PROBLEMS ON HOT DAYS. I'LL GO TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO NO WHERE AND THEN CATCH AND ACCELERATE. ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE BUT HASN'T YET. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NOTHING. TERRIBLY SPORATIC AND MAKES VEHICLE UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. IT HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT NOW. ONGOING PROBLEM TO THIS DAY AND I'M TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THE LACK OF ACCELERATION IS THE PUMP OR ANOTHER PROBLEM. PEDAL NOT STICKING LIKE IT WAS A THROTTLE LINKAGE. REAR WINDSHIELD PUMP DOES NOT WORK. CHEVY RIM CAPS KEEP BREAKING AND COMING OFF. $30 DOLLARS APPRX. FOR EACH ONE AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR AT LEAST ONCE.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING COMING FROM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. CONSUMER MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. ALSO, CONSUMER HAD A CONCERN THAT THE FAULTY WIRING SHORT COULD HAVE IGNITED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSED AN EXPLOSION. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILURE 69,800 MILES COST AT AMMCO TRANSMISSION $1639.00. LEAK OUT OF SIDE OF TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE CUASED FIRE IF I DID NOT SEE LEAK.GAS GAUGE ALSO DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY.I NEVER NOW WHEN I AM OUT OF GAS.KNOCK IN PASSENGER SIDE FIREWALL A PROBLEM.SEAT LEVER BROKEN FOR SECOND TIME.THE OLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS CAR IS I HAVE 70,000 MILES ON THE BRAKE PADS.BUT TOMARROW I MAY NEED A MASTER CYLINDER THE WAYS THINGS ARE GOING.BACK REAR WINDOW RELEASE LEVER FAILURE COST ME $300.00 TO FIX. I REALLY FEEL THAT CHEVY SHOULD HAVE NOT BUILT THIS VEHICLE AT ALL. THEY KNEW THE PROBLEMS AND CONTINUED NOT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS.I FEEL THE SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE GAS GAUGE PROBLEM AND HELPED WITH THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR.THIS IS MY LAST GM VEHICLE SO I GUEST IT DOESN'T MATTER. I LOOKED AT A CHEVY EQUINOX AND WAS CONCIDERING IT. BUT UNLESS THEY GIVE ME A 100,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I WILL BUY A TOYOTA OR NISSAN. AT LEAST THEY KNOW HOW TO BUILD GOOD TRANSMISSIONS!!!!*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
2000 CHEVY BLAZER 4.3L V6 76K MILES 2 DOOR THE SENDING UNIT ON THE FUEL PUMP HAS GONE BAD AND IS CAUSING MY GAS GAUGE TO GIVE AN INCORRECT READING. I MUST NOW USE THE TRIP ODOMETER TO GUESS WHEN TO PUT GAS IN MY TRUCK. FROM RESEARCH I'VE DONE THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BLAZERS OF THIS YEAR. GM SHOULD OFFER A RECALL FOR THIS $600+ JOB ALSO REPLACED THE UPPER & LOWER BALL JOINTS, IDLER ARM AND BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS IN THE PAST MONTH. SEAT RECLINE LEVER ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS ALSO SNAPPED OFF AND REAR WASHER FLUID SPRAYER NO LONG WORKS. I'VE OWNED 4 OTHER CHEVY/GMC VEHICLES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN 3 OF THEM. I WILL VERY MUCH CONSIDER THESE ISSUES AND HOW GM HANDLES THIS MOST RECENT ONE WHEN I GO TO BUY A NEW TRUCK NEXT YEAR. *AK
