THE FUEL PUMP,LINE AND TANK ARE FAULTY AT 35000 MILES. I BOUGHT IT AS A USED CAR FROM SANTA ANA HYUNDAI WHO AGREED TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP BUT DID NOT. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY, IT WOULD NOT START WHEN I TURNED IT OFF TO GET GAS ON 9-26-03, THE LEFT FRONT END IS POPPING WITH A LOUD NOISE,THE BRAKES ARE NOT ANTILOCK BRAKES,IT FEELS AS IF I AM HITTING METAL WHEN I STOP HARD,THE PANEL LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD WHEN FLASH WHEN I HAD SEATBELT ON. I HAD A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FIX THE MINOR THINGS. THE BATTERY CABLE WAS LOOSE AND THEY OILED THE JOINTS TO STOP THE SQUEAK. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS UNSAFE AND DEMAND I PAY HIM MONEY THAT IS ALREADY ABOVE THE PRICE OF THIS CAR. I AM PAYING $14,000 PLUS FOR A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP.THE DOOR ENTRY WILL NOT PROPERLY TAKE IN THE KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR.THE GAUGE METERS WERE DANCING BACK AND FORTH AND NOT PROPERLY READING THE FUEL.IT WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT SO I HAD NO REAL HISTORY OF RECALLS OR MECHANICAL REPORTS. *LA

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
I JUST PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED BLAZER IN JULY OF 2003. IT WAS IN FOR ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE THERE THE TECHNICIAN SNAPPED OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT ADJUSTMENT HANDLE, WHICH MY DEALER LATER REPLACED. NOT TWO WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF AS WELL. MY DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WITHOUT CHARGING ME FOR PARTS AND LABOR.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS SUBJECT AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER UNHAPPY CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED WHEN I HIT A SIGN POLE IN A PARKING LOT. IT WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT (WHERE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MEETS THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR, THAT STRIP OF METAL) WHEN I PULLED SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT TO LEAVE THE LOT. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY FAST, THIS POLE WAS WITHIN 4' OF MY CAR, YET THIS APPROX 4" DIAMETER METAL POLE COMPLETELY CRUSHED THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FRAILTY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED A CAR'S OCCUPANTS. I'D LIKE CHEVY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY. IT'S BACK TO VOLVOS FOR THIS WOMAN. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 4X4 SUV HAS A PROBLEM. THE PRODUCTS USED ARE NOT VERY HEAT TOLERANT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT OR REPLACED. ALSO IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I AM SEEING AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE HEATING AND AIR SYSTEM ON THE BLAZER.*AK

MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER (88K MI.) HAD BOTH THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED STRANGE ABS ACTIVATION EVEN AT LOW SPEED AND LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION. MY DEALER SAID THE ABS CONTROLLER IS FAULTY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE VERY SAME SYMTOMS FROM OTHER OWNERS AS WELL AS TSB REFERENCES TO THIS DEFECT. THIS LOOKS LIKE A TREND AND A DESIGN FLAW AND A SAFTEY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THE ABS CONTROLLER SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED.
