The gas gauge fluctuates. Do not know the proper amount of gas is in the tank.
2000 Chevrolet Blazer fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 84, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel gage switches between full to empty all the time. When the car is at stop and running, to driving down the road. You never really know how much gas you really have. I have taken to writing down the mileage every time I fill up.
Fuel gauge fluctuates wildly between full and empty when tank is less than half full. If you look it up the gmc jimmy which uses the same fuel system has the same customer complaints. You never know how much gas you have in the tank. This caused me to run out of gas on a interstate highway in the middle of rush hour and I was unable to pull over to the side because of traffic. Luckily no one ran into me, but it did create a bad traffic problem. Gm refuses to admit this a problem but the mechanics I've talked to say this is a problem they have to repair all the time. This vehicle should be recalled before someone gets injured or killed.
The fuel gauge does not work. It goes from empty to full all the time no matter how much gas you have.
Fuel gauge fluctuates violently and rapidly regardless of the amount of gas in tank. Problem has existed for over two years and appears to be a common defect with part. Attempt to replace however options are limited due to sending unit and fuel together as one unit.
My fuel gauge is not working I understand there is a recall on it how do I find out?
I have a 2000 blazer and I have been having problems with the fuel gauge for the last 6 months. It fluctuates between full & empty constantly. Once it hits a half tank, it stops keeping track of how much gas is in the tank. Haven't had it fixed yet. Seen too many complaints now, gm should replace for free.
At 90,000 miles my fuel gage became erratic, chevy dealer says it's the fuel pump. At a cost of $800.00 to fix I'll calculate my mileage and live with out it. Gm taking low bid on the fuel pump means I no longer buy gm products. Fix mine at no cost and you got me back.............maybe!
Fuel gauge indicator not working. I was looking online to see what may be the problem. And I found thousands of personal owner reviews and defects they had with their 2000 chevy blazer and they all have the same problem as me.. You should check into that..
Fuel gage shows low fuel then full then back to low fuel . It does not give a accurate reading.
I bought my used 2000 chevy blazer 4 door 4wd this year and noticed that the fuel gauge was erratic. When filled up it reads full but after driving over 150 miles the fuel gauge jumps around from empty to full continuously. I've read several reviews at this site and believe chevy has a major defect in the fuel sending unit for this vehicle that they need to research and correct. I believe a recall for this problem is in order.
I bought a 2000 blazer in 2002. I took my vehicle overseas in 2003. Much to my surprise, the gas gauge stopped working properly one day in 2004 causing me to run out of gas on a major international interstate. I took it to the dealership when I came back to the states only to be told, that something was wrong with the fuel pump. Not only that, the module also has to be replaced because the fuel pump and module comes as a unit and you cannot replace the fuel pump without replacing the module. I am being told I have to pay $950 to have this problem fixed. I know I am not the only one with a blazer who is having this problem. Gm has failed time and time again to acknowledge this as a manufacturer problem and people are losing money because of it. If I have to pay $950 out of my pocket to fix this problem, this will be one unhappy, loyal customer gm has lost because I will make sure that no one I know ever purchases a gm vehicle again.
2000 blazer transmission failed, cost $3000 to repair. Left ball joint failed and replaced all $500, pitman arm, idler arm, tie rods right and left needed replacement. Left front wheel bearing hub failed and was replaced, both $800. Overheating due to dexcool leak at intake needed replacement. I have a $20,000 piece of junk sitting in my driveway.this was ongoing from earlier year models but no recalls for this year ,why no body died ? Fuel gauge bounced.
The handle that allows you to recline the seat broke off flushed with the seat, this happened to both the driver and passenger seats in june 2005. The hood will not pop up when the lever was pulled until one banged on the grill or the hood in certain spots, which just started in march of 2007. The gas mileage dropped from 20 mpg to 16 mpg within 6 months. The back glass stuck and was hard to open, started in 2006. When turning on the air conditioner (A/C ) the car had no power, I have to turn it off when accelerating on the interstate or on hills. If the cruise control was set it kicked off when the A/C was on. When I needed to stop quickly the brakes failed, and felt a grinding sensation through the pedal, but the mechanic changed the brakes and checked the rotors, but hasn't found any problem. Suspected a defect somewhere in the brake system\ as of 2005. The fan kicked on all the time, even when the engine was cold, and in winter when first starting. One mechanic told me that in many blazers the catalytic converter broke off in the muffler, which had to be replaced. Had been told this happened so much that most people left them off. Too many other problems to mentioned. Also, the horn worked only when it wanted to, problem in the steering wheel.
Fuel gauge not working when 1/2 tank fuel level. Seat lever lets seat slide all they way back while driving.
I bought the 2000 blazer used just over a year ago and have had nothing but problems. To begin, I replaced the alternator, fuel pump, and virtually all suspension components in the front end with just over 65,000 miles. On vacation during one of the hottest days of the year traveling home the blazer over heated and left my family and I stranded on a major interstate with no A/C for nearly an hour before getting towed to the worst chevrolet dealer in the country(richmond, va). We were forced to pay for a new radiator and miscellaneous parts totaling over $600. They said the coolant system was full of rust and the radiator was plugged and could not be reused. Now I'm experiencing the service engine soon that will not go out. After numerous trips to the dealer that started with leaking oil cooler lines, they said that the crank sensor was going bad. I replaced it, still the light stays on. Next they say there is a misfire in cylinder 2, I replace the plugs, wires, rotor, and cap. Still the light stays on. All of these repairs within the first 14 months of owning this junk and it is not anywhere near being paid for. Gm needs to fix these problems. I have spoke with other blazer owners and they too have experienced nothing but trouble. And the big 3 wonder why they are losing customers and market share. Have they ever heard of quality? Looks like I'm going foreign.
Gas gauge erratic on 2000 chevy blazer, can't tell how much gas is in the vehicle.
I purchased my 2000 blazer in 6/20/02 from a chevy dealer in pa . I purchased the extended warranty . I have until 6/07 or100000 miles I have replaced the coil and distributor cap and rotor 5 times a new fuel pump a catalytic converter windshield washer motor and turn signal switch it has gotten to the point that I can't even sell it to anyone private and I can't afford to keep it . There has been electrical and computer issues shorts that melted the fuse box under the hood that melted the relay for the fuel pump. Also there was a short that wiped the computer codes out and I had a rough time passing emission testing I am at the point the extended warranty does not want to spend any more on the vehicle. I have had the motor mounts replaced twice in 4 years. I have never been notified of any recalls orservice notices . I have had the vehicle serviced by licensed mechanics and had it serviced at the appropriate mileage required for the warranty.
Fuel gauge fluctuations.
I have purchased a 2000 chervolet blazer, I have a faulty fuel pump gauge, one that will never tell you the right amount of gas. This lead me into running out of gas at a very uncivilized area, and it could have ended up being a wreck, if a emergency lane wasn't available. A few weeks later I learned that a entire fuel pump was needed to correct the problem. I researched this on the internet and from talked to other people with blazers: they all have the same issues, gas problems, and I believe chevy is in fault here for producing a faulty fuel pump to thousands of owners. This part costs $400 to replace.
Owns a 2000 chevrolet blazer zr2 with 68000 miles. The heater blows cold air only. The alternator has been replaced at least twice. I replaced it once, and previous owner replaced it once . Battery has been replaced at least twice. All ball joints replaced at least once to my knowledge. Fuel gauge broke before 50000 miles. Seat handle on passenger's side broken before 50000 miles. Tailgate won't open. Passenger side windshield wiper only moves half the time. That is all that I can recall right now.
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.
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.
I have a 2000 blazer with 58,000 miles and the fuel gauge does not work properly. I have heard dealers and mechanics say that it is common problem with chevrolet. I would like to know if they plan to address the issue. Also, my locking rear differential does not work. My brother had it replaced twice under warranty on his 2004 z71.
Ball joints upper and lower replaced at 40k and 100k miles. Will be needing to be replaced again very soon at 140k miles. The replacement at 40k was a total failure of passenger side ball joints to wit: vehicle was incapacitated as wheel was left 'bent'. Fuel gauge fluctuated wildly if less than 1/3 tank of gas. Fuel pump failed.
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.
The fuel guage in my 2000 chevy blazer stopped working causing me to run out of fuel with my 4 year old son in the vehicle. I also had a 1996 chevy blazer and the fuel guage stopped working (my father now owns this vehicle). I contacted chevrolet and they claimed that they have no reports of fuel guages that stop working. A very close friend of mine who worked for chevrolet for 20 years told me that this is not true. Apparently the fingers on the sending unit were falling off causing the guage to not work.
Dt: contact states the fuel gauge is not consistent in the readings. It does not measure the gasoline correctly. A mechanic stated there was a problem within the electronic wiring that deals with the computer to the fuel gauge. The vehicle has not been serviced for this problem.
The gas gauge fluctuates from e - f when my tank is only half full. The only way I know how far I can drive is to zero out the trip odometer when I fill the gas tank. This vehicle had has approximately 55k miles on it - too few for this kind of problem.
Problems that are not saftey issues: air conditioning doesn't work; door hinge pin needs to be replaced; driver's window slips off track to the outside of the frame, resulting in the back side of the window cracked at least a 1/4 of an inch (was told by friendly chevrolet in springfield il that this is a design problem and can not be fixed; called chevrolet and was told to take it back to dealer and pay them to reevaluate the problem; ) safty issues: ball joints need to be replaced;gas gauge sending unit doesn't work;;differential is leaking and plug connected to this needs to be drilled out and rethreaded to find out how bad the leak is; windshield wiper on driver's side loose and flips off to the left of the windshield in heavy rain and snow; electrical harnass needs to be replaced; engine insolation pealing off under hood; engine light on continually; car stalls intermitantly(first time it happened, was told the engine had overheated); at every start up, engine stays in nuetral (has no excellerator power)then catches after about three minutes); work done: thermostat hoses replaced;distributor replaced;spark plug wires and spark plugs replaced; sepentine belt replaced; part between the axle and the u joints needed to be replaced; oil leak fixed;fuel injector replaced; I have no idea what will go wrong when; it's like playing russian rullett while driving; have rented vehicle twice; will also need to rent vehicle for cross country road trip next week; will not risk driving this car; (incident date: first incident-day estimated)
