2000 Chevrolet Blazer Complaint Log

RELAY FOR 4 WAY FLASHERS IS CLICKING, ONLINE MY PROBLEM WITH FLASHER RELAY AND BRAKE LIGHTS IS LISTED UNDER RECALL 01073B. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS RECALL WAS DONE, DONE PROPERLY OR JUST TIMED OUT.

WHEN BRAKING THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKS. IT LOCKS UP INTO A LIMITED SLIP MODE WHILE BRAKING AT A NORMAL STOP. IT DOES NOT BRAKE CORRECTLY. IT PUMPS BADLY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIME A DAY WHEN DRIVING. HAVE TO BREAK WAY BEFORE NEEDING TO BECAUSE IT WILL SLIP. TYPICALLY HAPPENS IN PARKING LOTS AND REGULAR STREETS WHEN USING BREAKS. IN MOTION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MARCH 2020.

IT STARTED WITH MY GAUGES BOUNCING ALL OVER GOING ON AND OFF , THEN IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE ON AND I HAD TO GIVE IT ALOT OF GAS TO GET GOING.NOW THE DASH WILL WORK WHEN I TURN THE KEY ON BUT AS SOON AS IT STARTS IT GOES OUT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OIL PRESSURE AND THE CHARGING GAUGE. THE TRANSMISSION ISNT WORKING RIGHT AT ALL AND I DONT DARE DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD DOES NOT TEST RIGHT, ONLY ABOUT HALF OF IT HAS POWER AND I AM AT A LOSS THERE! THERE HAS BEEN ELECTRICAL PROBNLEMS WITH IT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

I HAVE REPLACED THE HUB ASSEMBLY, IDLER ARM, & WHEEL BEARINGS ON BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I DRIVE OVER 45 MPH MY CAR MAKES AN AWFUL SOUND & NO MATTER WHAT I CHANGE OR HAVE FIXED THE PARKING BRAKE/ABS LIGHTS STAY ON. I'VE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT & SAY THEY'VE FIXED THE ISSUE BUT NONE HAVE ACTUALLY FIXED IT. I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY & MY BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY WERE LOCKING UP. *TR

STEERING COLUMN HAD SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT A WEEK AGO. I'M CONSTANTLY HEARING THE BLINKERS EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN USE, FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS NOW. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE CAR IS RUNNING, WHETHER IT'S MOVING OR STOPPED. PROBLEM WITH CONSTANT BLINKER SOUND STARTED THE FIRST OF APRIL, AND HAS CONTINUED EVER SINCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,650.

DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STRIKING ANOTHER AND DIED ON 12/29/14. DRIVER WAS 23 YEARS OLD. THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AS IN IGNITION DEFECT SWITCH CASES WHICH MAY BE THE CASE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE SEATBELT WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND INOPERABLE, THUS NOT WORN AT THE TIME OF DEATH.

A CHUNK OF APPROXIMATELY 2-3" BLEW OUT OF THE SIDEWALL OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, AND SHE LOST CONTROL AFTER THE TIRE BLEW AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON AT 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND MY DAUGHTER HAS MULTIPLE INJURIES, INCLUDING A FRACTURED KNEECAP, SPRAINED JAW, DISC PROTRUSIONS AT C6/C7 AND L5/S1. SHE IS HAVING HEADACHES AND FACIAL PAIN AND A BRAIN MRI WAS PERFORMED YESTERDAY. WE'LL HAVE THOSE RESULTS SOMETIME NEXT WEEK. THE TIRE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2013, WAS 20% WORN AND HAD NO SIGNS OF INFLATION PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF ANYTHING STRIKING THE TIRE. IT WAS A GOODYEAR TIRE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY WHEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED AND NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW WAS GLOWING ORANGE AND THEN THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED! *TR

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE YEAR. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON, EVEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT COMES ON. HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND FLUID IS GOOD BUT IT CONSTANTLY COMES ON. AT THE SAME TIME I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK BECAUSE ON OCCASION WHEN IT'S PUT INTO PARK, IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF. *TR

EVENFLO EXPRESS VISION/ CHASE TRADITIONS FORWARD FACING BOOSTER WITH 5-PT HARNESS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME MY CHILD HAS BEEN STRAPPED INTO THE SEAT,. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE RIGHT SHOULDER STRAP IS OVERLAPPED ON ITSELF TO SECURE IT AT A PERMANENT LENGTH (MAKING TWO STRAPS ON THE R SHOULDER) AND ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS ADJUSTED., THE ONE STRAP THAT IS NOT SECURED BY THE CHEST CLIP EASILY SLIDES ON AND OFF OF THE CHILDREN'S SHOULDER.. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THIS TO WORK BUT WHEN SHE MOVES JUST A LITTLE BIT IT FALLS RIGHT OFF OF HER SHOULDER. I HAVE TIGHTENED IT AS TIGHT AS I CAN AND IT STILL SEEMS TO FALL RIGHT OFF. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT INSTALLED WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEY HAD A HARD TIME EVEN GETTING IT ON AND STAYING IN PLACE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD. I DO WORRY THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYCHILD, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A NEW HARNESS PLEASE. TIGHTEN IT FROM THE FRONT BOTTOM WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER. I I BOUGHT THIS BOOSTER CHILD RESTRAINT ON SEPTEMBER 14,2013 FROM AN AGENCY HERE IN KLAMATH FALLS OREGON.THANK YOU.... THE MODEL NUMBER OF MY SEAT IS 32921122 AND THE MANUFACTURE DATE IS 06/03/2011.

GAS GAGE BOUNCES AROUND AND FUEL LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN I KNOW THE CAR HAS A FULL TANK. I HAVE TO TRACK MILEAGE EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP NOT GETTING POWER AND R I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES AND IT WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM DAYS TO WKS AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE SEARCHED ON GOOGLE AND THEIR ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. THEIR IS CODE THAT SHOWS UP WHEN TESTED. THE CAR HAS BROKE DOWN MANY TIMES WITH MY DAUGHTER IN IT. I NEVER KNOW IF I TURN THE CAR OFF IF IT WILL START BACK UP. AT TIMES IN THE MORNING IT WONT START AT ALL AND MY DAUGHTER IS LATE TO SCHOOL DUE TO THE CAR NOT STARTING AND HAVING TO FIND HER A RIDE. FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. THEIR IS NO POWER GETTING TO THE FUEL PUMP. I AM SO FRUSTRATED!! *JS

HAD A FRONT END COLLISION. THE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. NO AIR BAGS WENT OFF. BOTH VEHICLES CAME OFF A RED LIGHT, ALL VEHICLES STOPPED SUDDENLY AND MY TEUCK REAR ENDED A TOYOTA PICKUP. *TR

FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS LOOKING FOR AN ADDRESS AT A SLOW SPEED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LURCHED; I HAD NO STEERING; I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL CONTROL; THE CAR GROUND TO A HALT; SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I AND A FRIEND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. FORTUITOUSLY, FIRE TRUCKS APPEARED. IT TURNED OUT THEY WERE RETURNING FROM ANOTHER INCIDENT AS I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE IMMEDIACY OF THEIR RESPONSE. THEY TOOK OVER PREVENTING FURTHER AGGRAVATION OF THIS SITUATION. THE BATTERY WAS BOILING. ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESSES WERE MELTED. THE UPPER SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. THE FIREMEN'S OBSERVATION WAS, IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, THE CAR COULD HAVE FLIPPED. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC, I LEARNED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN. IT IMPAILED THE STARTER WHICH SHORTED. THAT MELTED THE WIRING HARNESSES TO AND FROM THE BATTERY, AS WELL AS BEING THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY BOILING. THE KEY ISSUE IS THAT GENERAL MOTORS WOULD BUILD A VEHICLE WHERE THE UPPER CONTROL ARM IS SO FLIMSY IT WOULD BREAK. I HAVE READ OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME THING WITH THE CHEVROLET BLAZER WHERE, FOR EXAMPLE, A PERSON WAS GOING 30MPH, THE CAR FLIPPED, AND THE PERSON WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. A REPEATED CORPORATE FAILURE OF THIS NATURE SHOULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES. *TR

EVER SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE, THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT LOCK. THEREFORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AND NOT KNOW THE IGNITION SWITCH IS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. ALSO, THE GAS GAUGE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP TO KNOW WHEN I NEED GAS. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I OWN THE TRUCK. OCCASIONALLY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON (I KNOW I HAVE FUEL) AND THE TRUCK STARTS ACTING LIKE IT'S LOW ON GAS. *TR

MY BLINKERS STARTED BLINKING REAL FAST AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. I ASKED MY BROTHER AND HE TOLD ME I HAD A LIGHT OUT SOMEWHERE, SO HE HELPED ME LOCATE IT. IT WAS MY BLINKER ON THE DRIVER SIDE BACK. I REPLACED IT AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I REPLACED IT AGAIN. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN 2013. IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME LIGHT. I REPLACED IT AGAIN. I WAS WATCHING GOOD MORNING AMERICA THIS MORNING AND SEEN WHERE THEY WERE INVESTIGATING SAFE CARS AT USED CAR DEALERS. IT GAVE A WEB SITE TO LOOK AND SEE IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS ANY RECALLS. I LOOKED AND IT SHOWED MINE HAD 4. I CALLED THE NUMBER IT GAVE AND THE LADY TOLD ME MINE HAD NONE WITH THE VIN # I GAVE HER. WHY THEN AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ONE LIGHT? *TR

2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER 4X4, WAS PARKED FOR THREE WEEKS IN A DRIVEWAY OF A HOUSE DURING VACATION TRIP. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE UPON VACATION RETURN IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FIRESTONE FIREHAWK 500 235/70R15 RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD BELT SEPARATION CAUSING MAJOR VIBRATION, STEERING DIFFICULTY AND REQUIRED TIRE REPLACEMENT. THREE OTHER FIRESTONE FIREHAWK 500 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE DO NOT INDICATE ANY DEFECT UPON VISUAL INSPECTION. FIRESTONE RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF ALL TIRES DUE TO AGE, DOT 3303. TREAD REMAINING ON TIRES IS 3/32" OR MORE. *TR

THE DRIVERSIDE AIR BAG WENT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, I THEN WENT TO TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT TO END OF MY DRIVEWAY. AS I WAS WALKING BACK TO MY GARAGE I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I NOTICED THE AIR BAG HAD BEEN DEPLOYED WHEN I REACHED MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING AND I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW TO AIR OUT THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK. I CHANGED THE FUSE BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE WINDOW PROBLEM. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. *TR

WE HAVE A 2000 CHEVY BLAZER VIN [XXX]. SINCE OWNERSHIP THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPECTED. MY SISTER HAS COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT ISSUES WITH RATTLES, SQUEAKS AND BODY ISSUES. WE HAVE NOTICED EARLY IN THE VEHICLES LIFE THE AMOUNT OF RUST THIS BLAZER HAS ON THE UNDERBODY. THIS HAS BEEN THE ISSUE OF SOME OF THE NOISES. RECENTLY, SHE COMPLAINED AGAIN OF A SUSPENSION NOISE WHILE STOPPING, TURNING OR HITTING RUTS OR HOLES IN THE ROAD. I INSPECTED AND LUBRICATED PROBLEMATIC POINTS THAT WE ADDRESSED IN THE PAST. THE NOISE WOULD COME AND GO. FINALLY, SHE MENTIONED A FEEL OF CONTROL LOSS WHILE BRAKING AND MAKING TURNS AND THE NOISE. SHE MENTIONED THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD PEOPLE WOULD STARE OR TURN HEADS. UPON MY INSPECTION I WAS SHOCKED AND NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON ANY VEHICLE. THE REAR SHACKLES THAT HOLD THE REAR LEAF SPRING TO THE FRAME HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THUS ALLOWING THE LEAF SPRING TO FLOAT FREELY ON THE FRAME RAIL IN REAR. THIS SHACKLE ALLOWS THE LEAF SPRING TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD DURING SUSPENSION FLEX. IN ADDITION, THIS STABILIZES THE REAR END AND KEEPS EVERYTHING IN PLACE-CONSULT A MECHANIC FOR SPECIFIC FUNCTION. I HAVE DEALT WITH MANY CARS IN MY LIFE AS WELL AS TRUCKS. NEVER, HAVE I SEEN THIS RUST ISSUE IN ANY VEHICLE-CHEVY TO NOTE AS WELL. I AM DEMANDING A RESPONSE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL FURTHER CONTACT TRAFFIC SAFETY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'M SORRY, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AT HAND. THIS BLAZER HAS AROUND 73000 MILES AND FROM THE OUTSIDE PAINT AND INTERIOR LOOKS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HOWEVER, WHEN LOOKING AT THE UNDERSIDE CARRIAGE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR HINGES (ESPECIALLY DRIVERS DOOR) IT IS A MESS. I AM EXPECTING A REASONABLE EXPLANATION ON THIS ISSUE AND APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. *** THIS IS THE SAME LETTER I SENT TO GM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2000 BLAZER LS 2DR 4X4 HAS IPC PROBLEMS. THE IPC LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE GAUGES, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF. THE PARKING BRAKE STICKS AND WONT RELEASE. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, RECALLS, AND SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED ON THESE SAFETY PROBLEMS I THINK MORE SHOULD BE DONE TO HOLD THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THESE DEFECTS. THE FIRST 11 DIGITS OF MY VIN MATCH AT LEAST 2 OTHER VEHICLES FIRST 11 DIGITS AND YET CHEVY DOESN'T FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALL BLAZERS. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. *TR
