2000 Chevrolet Blazer Powertrain & Transmission Problems

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.

MY CUSTOMER COMPLAINED OF A TRANSMISSION FAILURE INVOLVING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO A DTC P0785. I ASKED MY CUSTOMER IF THE INVOLVED VEHICLE (2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER) HAD ANY DEALER OR AFTER MARKET ACCESSORIES INSTALLED, CUSTOMER ADAMANTLY REPLIED: NO, "BONE STOCK GM." MY CUSTOMER WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE INVOLVED VEHICLE HAD A THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM, MANUFACTURED BY "KARR" AND DISTRIBUTED BY AUDIOVOX WITH INSTALLERS NATIONWIDE. I HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH GM DEALERSHIPS FOR OVER FORTY YEARS AND POSSESS A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE IN PARTS AND SERVICE EXPERIENCE. I REMOVED THE SUSPECT SECURITY SYSTEM AND REPAIRED THE DAMAGED WIRING WHICH RESULTED IN THE IMPROPER INSTALLATION. IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN CONFRONTED WITH FOUR CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS WHICH RESULTED FROM SECURITY SYSTEMS, AFTERMARKET RADIOS AND INCLUDING AFTERMARKET HEADLAMPS. THESE AFTERMARKET COMPONENTS ARE THE DIRECT CAUSE OF SYSTEM FAILURES INVOLVING ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, LIGHTS, AND NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES. I SINCERELY REQUEST IMMEDIATE AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION WHICH I REMAIN CONFIDENT WILL RESULT IN MASSIVE RECALLS OF THESE INFERIOR PRODUCTS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2000 BLAZER LS 2DR 4X4 WITH 58000 MILES. AT SPEEDS AROUND 65-70, IT VIBRATES PRETTY HARSHLY. I HAVE BRAND NEW TIRES, BREAKS, AND MY U-JOINTS AND BEARINGS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE FINE. STILL HAVE VIBRATION. I HAVE NOTICED VIA THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH BLAZER'S AND IT IS JUST A DEFECT IN THE WAY THE DRIVETRAIN WAS BUILT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED BY GM. ALSO AT 58000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATER. I SPOKE WITH THE PERSON WHO I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD REPLACED IT ONCE ALSO, THEREFORE THIS WOULD BE THE 3RD ALTERNATER IN UNDER 60000 MILES.
