The 2000 chevy blazer is a mechanical and saftey nightmare! This vehicle was purchased brand new/lease and I have had problems from the beginning. The exhaust has never sounded normal; it has a preignition (rattle-like) noise, and I was recently told that the catalytic converter is bad. The alternator failed at approximately 12000 miles. The hazard lights failed in april 2002, and the brake lights failed shortly after. The steering problems include: clunking when turning to the left, a shift in the front end (feels like the front pass. Side steering components are loose). The vehicle is almost impossible to control on freeway due to loose steering and inability to control on transitioning/uneven pavement. The dealer has replaced front pass-side tierod and stabilizer, and the steering wheel now has a 12-15degree, off-center, right list. Cutter cheverolet of hawaii is now having us try to reproduce the problem(s), and trying everything they can to not accept that the vehicle is, in fact, a "lemon"! What does it take to prove that a vehicle is just not a good vehicle; does my family have to get injured or die to prove there is a problem! We are a "gm-family"(entitled to gm family discounts), and this is how we get treated. . .no acceptence of responsibility or pride/honesty in their product. I will never buy another gm product; ever! The dealership, gm factory, and gmac should rightfully accept responsibility and take the vehicle back. I have better things to pay $384.00 per month!

Electrical switch kept burning out causing the tail, signal, and hazard lights to go out without any warning. Hard part replaced 3 times.
Told by dealer's service dept. We have to pay approx. $ 800.00 to have the frequency part of security panic system replaced. Vehicle is still under full warranty.

4/8 I was driving the car and it just died out as if it was out of gas. There was still power to the radio/lights ect. The engine would crank but not kick over. The engine would not rev upon pressing the accelerator. It was taken to dlr chevy73 by gm roadside assistance. On 4/9, around 2:30pm I spoke w/ carolyn tirelli-service advisor, who at first said there was not word of the repair. Then stated she saw the tec pulling the vehicle out of the service bay. She advised it appeared he was wrapping up the repair job. At 4pm service advisor steve lambrose called and advised the tec took the car out for a test drive. Said tec saw a spark, smoke then car was engulfed in flames. Tried to state tec had done no repair. Contrary to what carolyn tirelli advised earlier. Advised fire dept was called c. Jay houck fire marshall camden county 856‑374‑6176. Steve lambrose/svc advisor advised me to also call my insurance co. Geico/barbara malanga-claims adjstr/fire 800‑645‑7550 x5647. Dealer claims to not know what problem was at all. No findings. Car smells like electrical fire. But original symptoms/failure seem more like fuel line problem. No prior failures or warnings. No warning lights, stall outs or any indication anything was wrong with the vehicle. I or any passengers could have been killed or seriously injured the way this occurred. Car front end broken off, hood buckled from fire or firemen. /car a little over 1yr old. Still warranteed. Please help/advise.
The computer was replaced, the vehicle has also had many failures which have required it to be at the dealer on many occasions. Nlm
