2000 Chevrolet Blazer lights complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 81, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While vehicle was parked and consumer was taking the key from the ignition switch steering wheel caught on fire, independent mechanic determined that hazard warning switch melted, and caused the fire. Also, turn signal and brake lights were inoperative.
While braking tail lights failed. This could cause a distraction to oncoming traffic. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Headlights flicker - faster than you can blink an eye--will the lights stay off sometime? A disaster at night.
Front end problems, and security light staying on.
I was notified by another driver I had no brake lights, brought back to dealer and informed that it would cost $400 to fix. Found out through my employer there had been a recall for this problem. Why was it not corrected before I purchased it from the chevy dealer. Also informed my airbag warning light was on and the a module was at fault and would cost another $550 to fix and that it may inflate airbag while driving. These are totally unrealistic problems to occur in a 2 year old model with less then 40,000 mi.
Consumer requested reimbursement for the replacement of the multi-function switch which was under manufacturer's recall c-01073-s. Also the brake lights did not work, the dealer replaced the brake light switch. *ak
Consumer states that when starting up the vehicle and no warning the battery will be dead and the brake lights will not work. Dealer notified ts
While driving at any speed and with no warning headlights will go out and will stay off. Dealer notified.
The stop light or emergency lights failed twice while the consumer was traveling.
Consumer had recall (01v364000) regarding the brake light, the manufacturer reimbursed consumer, however consumer is not satisfied with the refund and is requesting additional monies.
Since purchase of vehicle oct 2000 I have been in the shop 35 x for manufacturing problems. Ongoing problems include dimming of headlights at any given time and flickering of clock/radio display at any given time. Service attempted to fix the dimming and flickering by replacing the alternator, but it did not fix the problem. They are now unable to duplicate the problem. It took service 5 attempts to fix taillight water retention problem (they sealed the entire assembly). The rear differential fluid was reportedly low from factory causing a grinding sound in my gears (it took 2 attempts to fix that problem). Since that differential problem, I have had a clunk between 2nd & 3rd gears (service is unable to duplicate the problem).
Both brake lights went out while driving. Contacted dealer. Vehicle suffered from same same problem as mentioned in recall 01 v 364 000. However, this vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN.
Consumer states 4 way flashers and brake lights failed 5 times and the multifunction switch was replaced 3 times. However, after replacement, consumer recevied recall notice (01v364000) relating to brake light and hazard flashing light failure. Consumer is requesting reimbursement for out of pocket expenses.
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! Japanese atomotive industry. . .here we come! ~ don schrader, pearl harbor, hawaii.

Multifunction switch has failed twice on a 2000 model chevy blazer. The first time was at 33939 mileage in march 01. Was replaced under warrenty. This same multifuciton switch failed again in dec. 01 at 48659 mileage. Had to file claim with extended warrenty, dealer told me the part was only good for 12months/12k milesage. I do not believe this switch should be malfunctioning at this interval and that I have to pay for the replacement. The brake lights no long work and there is no warning of this safty problem, someone had to stop me in traffic to tell me I had no brake lights. The dealer also informed me that many other chevy blazers have been in with the same switch failure but no bullentins have been issued by gm. I do not want to have this happen again in another 15k miles or less. This is a real safty issue because you have no brake lights and have no way of knowing this.
