Front end is junk,the smell of raw gas when fueling up and replaced oil line, steering parts, door pin, back light, right hub, before service warranty was up. Then of coarse the, rotors went along with the left hub and heater core went,.. The blazer has been a lemon since I bought it new. Cried alot.. I just turned the 100,000 on 7/15/10 couldn't go anywhere cause it was in the shop being fixed... Lemon so much for buying new.
2000 Chevrolet Blazer lights complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 81, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet blazer s10. When the vehicle was parked, with the turn signal engaged, the contact heard a continuous clicking noise. In addition, the tail lights intermittently became nonfunctional. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on two separate occasions with replacement of the turn signal switch. The failure mileage was 16,386. The current mileage was 168,384.
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.
11/18/2009: smoke was coming from the steering column. Spoke with a family member who works as a technician for pep boys. He believed the cause to be the multifunction switch. 11/20/2009: brake lights would not turn off even when the vehicle was turned off. They stayed on until they completely drained my battery. Looked up recalls and found there was a recall on the multifunction switch: the federal safety agency action number: rq08001. 11/21/2009: called the gm number listed on the federal safety agency recall form to ask for assistance with the cost of replacing the part. Was refused assistance and given the following reasons: my particular VIN was not one included in the recall. I didn't purchase my vehicle from a gm dealer. I purchased my vehicle used (there was only one previous owner). My vehicle has over 100,000 miles on it. I don't have a (proven) history of being a loyal gm owner. I don't have my repairs done at a gm dealer. The estimated cost of the multifunction switch itself is $200. That does not include labor. The repair needs to be done immediately as the vehicle is unable to be driven as is.
I stopped at a traffic light and was hit in the rear by the vehicle behind, driving my vehicle into the vehicle in front of me. I was given a traffic ticket and my vehicle sustained damage to front and rear. The driver behind me stated that my vehicle did not have brake lights. Which was confirmed by the officer. The diagnosis by the dealership was that the multifunction switch in the steering column was broken. This was done on nov. 10, 2009 as I have been unable to get the vehicle there due to legal problems. I did however call gm soon after the incident and try to resolve the problem at that time . The chevy dealership contacted gm for possible repair. It was noted by the dealership that the switch was replaced under recall in 2002. The gm customer service reps are trying to deny repairing again saying that they are not responsible twice. This part was replaced with another bad part that failed like the first original part. They should be required to replace the defective part with a reliable new design or be required to replace it again if it fails again.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet blazer. While driving approximately 25 MPH on normal road conditions, the contact was informed by the local authority that the driver's side rear brake light was inoperative. There were no warnings prior to the failure. The brake light bulb was changed, but the failure was still present. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and it was discovered that the brake light socket exhibited corrosion, which possibly contributed to the failure. The VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign id number 01v364000 (exterior lighting:brake lights:switch), although the failures were identical. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 137,000 and current mileage was 140,000. Updated 01/12/10. *lj updated 01/13/10.
Smoke from steering column,after the smoke from the column the hazard lights and switch would not work, break lights would not work either. Gm dealer replaced the multifunction switch @ a cost of $438.50 and said they never heard of this problem before. Vehicle was recalled and was apparently fixed for the same reason 6 yrs ago.
Vehicle is exhibiting problems with brake lights and hazard flashers, consistent with recall 01073. These issued have been intermittent, but in the past month have become constant. Chevrolet customer service has stated that this recall service was performed in 2002. This issue with lights has occurred since 2007, contact with chevy has been off and on since that point. Contacted chevy today 9/15/2008 because multi-function switch has now started to smoke when turn signals are used. This is obviously coming from the mfc which was supposedly repaired in 2002. Chevy has stated that recalls are a one-time fix and any further issues at any point is the liability of the customer. They are unwilling to provide any support for a resolution of a recall repair with was performed only 6 years ago. If this issue is unrelated to the 01073 recall, I am willing to pay for repairs out of my pocket, but I want chevy to initiate the diagnosis, instead they are telling me that they will provide no financial support whatsoever to even determine the cause of this error. I have stressed the importance of operating a vehicle with all safety features intact, and it is obvious that the same problem that 01073 addressed has recurred. I would like chevy to bear the costs of diagnosis, and costs of parts and labor for all repairs required to remedy the malfunctions relating to the hazard switch and/or mfc (multi-function turn signal switch).
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet blazer. When the vehicle was taken in for regular maintenance, the repair shop stated that the brake and hazard lights were inoperative. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the hazard lights needed to be replaced. The replacement was previously made in 2000 under the federal safety agency campaign id number 01v364000 (exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights:switch). The manufacturer would not make the second replacement for free. The current and failure mileages were 98,300.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet blazer. The contact stated that the rear driver side brake light failed. The dealer stated that although he was experiencing the same failure outlined in the federal safety agency campaign id number 01v364000 (exterior lighting: brake lights: switch), his VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 111,000.
On our 2000 chevy blazer 4wd our brake light do not work and neither does the hazard lights. I have replace the bulbs but still this does not fix the problem. I recently found this website and found out there was a recall on the brake switch. We never received a letter telling us to replace this part. I was wondering can I still get this replaced, if so can you email me a letter so I can get this problem fixed at no cost, since other people were allowed to get it fixed.
Campaign# 01v364000. The dealer is telling me the recall was already done on my vehicle in 2003 but I have the same problem now again in 2007. They say I have no recourse. Aren't they responsible to fix this since it's a known problem? Koon chevrolet 410‑931‑8600

Tl* - the contact stated that the brake light switch on 2000 chevrolet blazer, did not turn on when brakes wer applied.

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.
We have owned 2000 blazer since 0/6/2001 2nd owner bought with less than 19000 miles on it. Multi-function switch replaced because of recall acts up when bulbs are weak. We are on the third set of upper ball joints none paid for by warranty. Left hub assembly failure which resulted in ABS malfunction fixed by extended warranty. Driver door hinge assembly rusted would not close without force fixed but not covered by any warranty. Suspect driver side is starting to fail again because of the loud squeaking. Most important! Passenger side door has developed same problem and will not shut correctly. On may 01,2006 after picking up my 12 year old nephew we were to starting to down the street when passenger door flew open!!!! I am afraid to let anyone sit in front until this is fixed! The hinges and pins appear to be getting wet and rusting . Also all rotors have had to be replaced on this vehicle . This blazer has only 88,000 miles on it. I have decided to include all problems but am most concerned about doors, if we had been going faster I am afraid my nephew would have fallen out of vehicle!!!
Dt: the contact states there is the federal safety agency recall campaign id 01v364000 concerning the brake light switch. This vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall, but it is not included in the recall due to VIN. The contact has not had the vehicle repaired.
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.
My vehicle was recently purchased from a coworker with a known recall that was already fixed once and now is not functioning again. I called chevrolet and they told me there is not much they could do since it was beyond the warranty ,I had it diagnosed at a dealership which cost me $85.00 to tell me what I already knew but they would not fix it. This is failure that is known and I believe was not corrected the first time so I should not be responsible for the repair costs since it is a safety issue. The item is a 4 way switch.
While vehicle was parked a fire started in the turn signal switch. *ak the consumer stated ever since the incident happened, the ABS and brake light stay on. The dealer stated there was no problem with the brakes.
A recall on the multi-purpose switch was recieved and part was replaced in april of 2002. On monday august 22,2005 the same switch was replaced again at my expence.gm should correct thr real problem and not just the parts.also the passange seat adjuster has broken off.and in addition the transmission failed and had to be replaced under warranty.
Dt: three years ago the problem began. The owner pulled over to the side of the street and when the hazard lights were turned off then brakes went off as well and would not come back on. The main tail lights and brake lights did not work anymore. There was a recall and the owner did not receive the recall notice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for service and the hazard light switch was replaced. The next time the hazard lights were used, the brake lights stopped working again. This happened about ten months after the first failure. Then the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, they were willing to repair the hazard lights at a cost of $500. There seemed to be no indication from the dealership as to why these hazards lights kept failing. The dealership has been contacted by the owner at least 7 times in last month and a half. The owner attempted to work it out with gm 10 times in the last month and a half. *ak
The hazard/blinker switch is beginning to short out on my vehicle a 2000 chevy blazer VIN [xxx]. I researched and found a recall for this problem: the federal safety agency campaign id number : 01v364000. However after contacting a dealership I was informed that this is a vehicle specific recall and that my vehicle does not fall into this recall even though the problem is exactly the same. I purchased this vehicle used in december of 2004 and the problem began in may 2005. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Paid for replacing multi function switch which was covered bt recall #01073 stop lamps/hazard lamps inoperative
The tail lights work intermittently. Please provide more information.
I have multiple complaints, the gas gauge on my vehicle stop working and I ran out of gas in the middle of the street when I realized problem 2 the rear brake lights and hazard lights do not work. The other problem is the vehicle stalls, and when it finally take off, the car jerks and the driver seat moves/slides back from the hinges which caused me to not be able to reach my breaks and run into a curb. Also the driver side door sticks and is difficult to open. Lastly the wheel baring and ball joints have gone bad twice and the car has less then 75000 miles on it. I called gm customer service department and explained all of my concerns and was told they we not aware of any nationwide problem and there was nothing they could do except fix the hazard light malfunction. I researched on the net and found many many people complaining of the same concerns I have.
No notification of any recalls or service bullitins, broken seat, lights, front suspension parts, would not honor warranty.
Recall 01v364000 concerning multi function switch: the consumer was denied recall repairs because the recall had been closed. The consumer purchased the vehicle used and the previous owner did not get this problem resolved. However, the consumer contacted the dealer and the manufacturer, and neither were willing to help. *ak the consumer had no brake lights. *sc
The turn signal in the vehicle began clicking even when the switch was in the neutral (off) position several months ago, however, the turn signals appeared to work properly. A couple weeks ago, while sitting at a left turn light with the turn signal on, a white stream of smoke began coming out of the steering column in the vicinity of the turn signal level. I turned off the level, and the smoke stopped. No corrective action has been taken yet, but I am afraid a fire may start in the vehicle from this. It appears there is a service bulletin (# 01073) related to the federal safety agency item # 636517 that may be related or the same, but the dealer says no recall is open and will only charge to replace the part(s). This seems like a safety/fire related issue and I have read numerous cases online where other owners experience the constant clicking noise from the turn signal too.
Consumer feel there is a serious defect with the computer system that delivers error codes on his 2000 chevrolet blazer. (nar) *ph problems as follows warning lights flashing on, defective alternator, battery, and replaced brake pads.
