Never took in for rear wiper. Started leaking oil, so took to dealer here in roosevelt 21, dec. Started to provo jan. 10, cruise control went off, speedometer would not work, this caused the car to not shift. Pulled off road as car stops, turned car back on, turned around to return home. Afraid to continue over mountains. Took to murry motors, could not find anything wrong. Took for a 30 minute mile ride and it happened again. Will take back this following monday to be checked again. Can not drive if it wont shift. Took to murray motors for oil leak. They replaced two hoses. Not connected properly, causing leak. Thanks mrs. Riding. *jb ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****770837
2000 Chevrolet Blazer acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Accelerator sticks due to carbon buildup on throttle body. Gasoline prematurely burns before reaching the cylinder. Ball joints had to be replaced. Engine oil leaks. Coolant leaks. Transmission leaks. *tt
Throttle almost always sticks when vehicle movement starts causing learching starts. Dt
The gas pedal sticks 75% of the time upon initial acceleration, whether that is from a stopped position or accelerating after slowing. The sticking is such that force has to be exerted to get the pedal to depress thereby causing lurching of the vehicle. In parking lot situations or on icy roads this can be potentially very dangerous. Also, both front seat adjusters that allow the seat to be repositioned have broken off while trying to repostion the seat. When we reported these items to our dealer they said these are common problems they are seeing frequently. If this is so I feel it is a defect of the manufacturer. The seat levers were plastic painted to look like metal and both broke off within a week of each other. Dt
Vehicle lunged forward while stopping and shifting gear from drive to park. *yh.
Consumer states the vehicle does not respond when the acclerator pedal is pressed, the accelerator sticks and heavy pressure is applied to unjam the pedal, the dealer states the problem is due to the accelerator linkage gumming up. The dealer is aware. Please provide more information.*jb
Consumer states the accelerator sticks upon take off, consumers wife was backing in a parking space when the accelerator became stuck, she thought she was not pressing hard enough as she was backing in, she then pressed more firmly on the accelerator until it quickly freed itself and then rocketed backwards, she was able to quickly hit the brakes and was able to bring the vehicle under control, consumer was informed that the issue is considered regular maintenance, however consumer believes this to be a safety defect.
Consumer states while driving the engine stalls. This condition is intermittent and happens while drive or in reverse. Dealer could not duplicate problem.
Accelerator pedal would stick while driving, dealer was not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further information.
While driving, the rpms started revving while cruise control was activated, consumer turned cruise control off, however was knocked out by the inadvertent deployment of the air bag, causing his foot to hit the accelerator pedal, vehicle went across the passing lane, over a guardrail and down a 30 foot embankment.
The accelerator pedal sticks upon acceleration from a stop, when the pedal is at rest. The sticking causes the driver to push a little harder to depress the accelerator. The accelerator then breaks loose and the driver has automatically accelerated heavily eventhough this is not desired. This usually occurs at start up only. While backing in a parking lot, out of a space, this happened to my wife. Upon applying increasing pressure to the accelerator pedal, the pedal finally gave way and was probably depressed 1-2 inches. This caused the vehicle to rocket backward. My wife quickly hit the brakes before backing into the next row of cars, and any pedestrians that might have been near. No accident or injury resulted. I have since duplicated it twice. It always sticks somewhat upon takeoff, but my wife has begun to compensate for it. I rarely drive the vehicle. She will drrive another vehicle until we get this fixed. Needless to say I find this to be a very dangerous condition/defect/engineering design with this vehicle that has a 36k mile warranty, plus a purchased 60k warranty. I contacted two area dealers, not the dealer I purchased it from. Berger chevrolet in grand rapids, and john decker chevrolet in rockfrod, mi both have told me to my amazement that this is a "general maintenance" issue. They say it is common on many blazers, but some do not require the service. This tells me that some are defective, some may not be. Decker charges $50 and berger charges $110 for slightly different levels of service I presume. They already told me over the phone that the throttle plate has carbon buildup on it and it needs to be cleaned off every 15-20,000 miles. I've never owned a vehicle that requires yearly service to keep the throttle/accelerator from sticking. The dealers and the general chevrolet consumer hotline people all readily admit this condition occurs frequently(800) 222 1020-jacob vanbeek-chev rep, file # c06624128.
A mechanism within the steering column causes the vehicle to lose rear brake lights, the vehicle has been to the dealer on 3 occasions for this problem, the consumer was told by the dealer that there is a national backorder on the mechanism. Nlm hazard, turn signal and stop lamps are also inoperative. Consumer has filed a complaint with consumer protection division.
While driving with speed control on, vehicle started to accelerate. Also, air bags deployed, knocking consumer out. Vehicle crashed and consumer was injured. *ak consumer states that the deployment of the air bag is what caused the accident.
Throttle stuck while driving. Consumer applied brakes, and vehicle would slow down. As soon as consumer stopped applying brakes vehicle accelerated back to 35 MPH. Vehicle was taken to dealer, but no problem was found.
When starting vehicle for the first time that day engine revved to its maximum acceleration immediately. Driver turned engine off instantly. When restarted, problem did not exist. Dealer has been notified.
Consumer was traveling about 35mph and was entering freeway when vehicle started to acellerate and engine just rise up, like it was in neutral, and vehicle decreased speed. Transmission was replaced inside of vehicle . Dealership was aware of this problem there were several incidents happening on this vehicle.*ak the vehicle was brought to the dealer five times for this problem. Each time the dealer replaced different component air flow sensor, fuel pump and transmission. The provlem still reoccurs and the dealer can not find the cause.
