SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY 2000 BLAZER IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME, THERE HAD BEEN NO RECALL ON THE 2000 BLAZER LIKE THERE WAS ON OTHER MODELS OF SUV'S OF THE SAME YEAR. I HAD THE PROBLEM REPAIRED ON MY OWN. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SUV TO PREVENT ANYONE FROM BEING INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO BRAKE FAILING. THERE WAS $3200.00 DAMAGE ON MY BLAZER AND IT COST $192.00 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED.*JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER, 4 DR. LT MODEL. THE FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND WILL BOUNCE ALL OVER THE RANGE, WHENEVER THE FUEL LEVEL IS AT APPROX. 1/2 TANK OR LESS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF FUEL, ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE; BUT THE GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. THE LOCAL DEALER WANTS OVER $900.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IN DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZERS FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT AFTER 6 MOS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2003 AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE GAS GAGE WASN'T WORKING SO I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT. SO I STARTED ASKING AROUND AND A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THEIRS WENT OUT AS WELL I GOT QUOTES ON HOW MUCH TO FIX IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PRICE RANGE WAS $380-$460. AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL TANK JUST TO GET IT FIXED. ALSO THE REAR-END DIFFERENTIAL BROKE AND IT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO FINALLY FIND ONE BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T MAKE THE PART FOR THAT YEAR ANYMORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF MY CAR AND STRONGLY REGRET BUYING IT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ACCELERATOR STICKING. FROM STANDING START, ACCELERATORS PEDAL REQUIRES CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE TO MOVE FROM RESTING POSITION. AS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD BEFORE OPERATOR CAN REMOVE PRESSURE. COMPLAINTS TO DEALER RESULTED IN THE ESTIMATE OF A $100.00 CHARGE TO CLEAN CARBON FROM THROTTLE BODY AND APPLY A CHEMICAL TREATMENT TO HELP PREVENT FURTHER STICKING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A MAINTENANCE ITEM AS IT COULD RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION, POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL, AND ACCIDENT. DEALER DIAGNOSIS WAS ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS SO THE PROBLEM MUST BE A COMMON ONE.*NM

RADLEY CHEVROLET DID NOT PROVIDE US WITH A RECALL NOTICE ON BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER FROM THE START. WE HAVE BEEN NOW TOLD THAT THE IDLER ARM ON THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WE ALSO HAD THE FUEL GAUGE GO OUT. HOW OFTEN DO THESE COMPONENTS GO OUT. CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE IDLER ARM AND IS THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM. *JB

BOTH BRAKE-ABS LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS, EVEN THOUGH, SPEED SENSOR WAS MENTIONED EACH TIME BUT NEVER REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, GM RECALL FOR SPEED SENSOR BRAKE PROBLEM DOES NOT INCLUDE 2000 CHEVY BLAZER NOR THE STATE OF MISSOURI. THIS IS STILL A ONGOING PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A COWORKER WITH A KNOWN RECALL THAT WAS ALREADY FIXED ONCE AND NOW IS NOT FUNCTIONING AGAIN. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOT MUCH THEY COULD DO SINCE IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY ,I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A DEALERSHIP WHICH COST ME $85.00 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THIS IS FAILURE THAT IS KNOWN AND I BELIEVE WAS NOT CORRECTED THE FIRST TIME SO I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ITEM IS A 4 WAY SWITCH. *NM

SUSPENSION:REAR, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL
ON SEPT 10 2005 I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE A TUNE UP DONE ON IT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO GO. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 7 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED ON A 2000 CHEV BLAZER, WITH THAT LOW OF MILEAGE. I HAD NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY IN TURN WANTED TO PUT ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANTED I HAD WANTED THEM TO FIX MY CAR THE ONE THAT THEY HAD SOLD TO ME. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET MY CAR TO RUN RIGHT, SO THAT I MAY USE IT AND NOT PAY FOR ONE TO SIT IN MY DRIVE WAY. AND I WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THIS HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER 2000 CHEV BLAZERS? SINCERELY YOURS SUSAN BURGOS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
DT: THERE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SINCE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE THE BRAKES CHATTER/JUMP, AND SHAKE WITHIN THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE STOPS WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, BUT DOES REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT CALIPERS AND CORROSION. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME CHEVROLET VEHICLES INVOLVING THE ABS, BUT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. *AK
