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.

I have bad seat accessories, if I hadn't unplugged the circuit under the seat,the seat would move me back and forth while I was driving. I see there are many complaints on this subject. Also the fuel gauge problem is very inconvenient to say the least.

The part was repaired, and a new handle had to be ordered, because chevrolet decidedr rod, made out of a heavier metal, which wouldn't fit the old lever. The resulting charges were $76.35 for the recliner, $8.37 for the handle, and $86.40 for labor. There are just over 59,000 mi. On this 2000 blazer.

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.

I have had numerous problems with my 2000 chevy blazer ls 4x4. Under warranty the dealer replaced the oil lines by the oil filter, whole seat mechanism, driver side window motor, rear shock. They also fixed my hood rattle after 5 visits to the dealer and I told them what was wrong the first time it went in. Since then at 40,000 miles the driver side wheel bearing went out and had it replaced and at the same time had the fuel pump replaced since that went out also. At 50,000 miles the same one went out again and had it replaced. Now at 68,000 miles the passenger side wheel bearing is bad. Also on my first wheel bearing replacement, they told me the ball joints were very loose and should think about replacing those also. These things should never be going wrong with such low miles. From what I am reading on the web and hearing from the dealers, this is a very frequent problem that chevy will not recall and take responsibility. I sure am happy that I haven't had a wheel fall off and kill someone yet.
