2000 Chevrolet Blazer suspension complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 100, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at highway speed the vehicle stalled without warning and coasted to the side of the road. The cause has not been determined. Please provide any additional information. *nm in addition, consumer experienced vibrating when stopping. Dealer performed front and rear brake service by replacing worn out pads and rotors. Dealer also made repairs on lower ball joints, pitman and idler arm assembly.
1-recline handles on the front seats 2-back wiper don't work 3-window cleaner leaks on the rear window 4-replaced front suspension lower and/or upper ball joints twice in 1 year (mechanic told me that they see this all the time) 5-rear window latch won't open.
Upon approaching the driveway vehicle suddenly made a noise. Steering wheel felt funny. Also, front left tire turned in the opposite direction that vehicle was going. When this occurred vehicle skidded. Consumer depressed the brake pedal to stop. This occurred because the left front lower ball joint came apart, and the front right ball joints were starting to show signs of the same failure. The entire front suspension assembly needed to be replaced. Also, automatic transmission slipped when shifting from first to second gear. Meanwhile, while driving in over drive mode, the over drive disengaged and vehicle speed was reduced from a rapid pace to a very low speed. This failure almost resulted in an accident. Dealership determined this was caused by a failure in the torque converter solenoid.
There was roaring noise in the front end when consumer accelerated. Dealership indicated that the noise was due to the bearings. Hub and the bearing assembly were replaced.
Driver's side front wheel bearing failure; carbon build-up in throttle body caused accelerator to stick; oil lines to remote oil filter leaking; vehicle has 41,000 mi.
Ball joints are already bad.
Numerous electrical problems and or failures, bad fuel and exhaust problems, suspension pops excessively, gas pedal sticks intermittently, radio replaced twice, electric seats and windows malfunction
I purchased my chevrolet blazer new at the end of 1999 and it has been in the shop so much I know all 15 of the mechanics by there first name. The battery has been replaced at least 3 times, the alternator has been changed 3 times, the automatic transmission has been replaces, the seat handles have been replaced more than once, the seat belts have been replaced from locking up, the front end has had work done to it and still is not fixed, the rear right speaker does not work, the fuel gauge has been replaced, the gas petal sticks I haft to clean the card at least every month, the heater core has been replaced 3 times and it still does not get hot. I was told that this was caused by the orange antifreeze and was told that chey would not warranty their 5 year antifreeze and the dealer told me that I needed a $500.00 engine flush that I could do my shelf for $10.00 but I was then told that the engine was corroded up inside and I would need a new motor and they would not pay for it even under warranty. I called gm complaint line and was told that they new of the problem and they could not offer me any help. The complaint line was a joke and a waste of my time. I will never buy another chevy this is my second vehicle. My first was a s10 and I had the same problems.
2000 chevrolet blazer lower ball joints the vehicle has only 36,211 miles and the joints are worn out. Has there been any recalls on this problem. I talked to other owners and they also had or have this problem.
While driving at 60 MPH there was a vibration throughout the vehicle. Dealer informed consumer that vibration was normal. Dealer showed consumer docket id# 1381844, stating that chevrolet was aware of the problem, and an attempt to repair was unnecessary.
I have a 2000 blazer lt 4wd with 44,000 miles on it. I recently started experiencing vibrations at highway speeds. My dealer verified the problem. According to a gm document, there is no fix to this problem. According to gm document id# 1381844. The document is entitled "vibration at highway speeds-suspension wheel #pi01273b - (09/15/2003). The document explains the problem & symptoms exactly as described in many of these discussions. There is a line in this document that reads: this vibration is considered a normal characteristic for these vehicles and no repair attempts should be made." this document covers 2 & 4wd drive gm vehicles with the same body types (I.e. Blazers, jimmy, bravada, s-10, envoy) and covers years 00 - 03. This vehicle is unsafe for use on the highway!! If this was "normal" why didn't the vehicle do this when it was new? I called chevy's customer service line and they verified the document. They told me to take it to another dealer for a second opinion after that I guess I'm out of luck. My dealer found the document at the following url: http://service.gm.com/servlets/blobshtml?shtmlfile=1381844.
Replacement of both front wheel bearings at 60,000 miles. Lots of road noise and "hum" vibration coming from front end for several thousand miles, then it got real bad when turn steering wheel to left. Small time mechanic has replaced bearings on 12 blazers over the course of 6 months. One dealer acknowledged that many blazers have been in to replace front wheel bearings anywhere from 30-80000 mile. Mechanic thinks it's caused by lack of adequate grounding for the ABS braking system.
The fuel pump,line and tank are faulty at 35000 miles. I bought it as a used car from santa ana hyundai who agreed to fix the fuel pump but did not. The transmission is not changing gears properly, it would not start when I turned it off to get gas on 9-26-03, the left front end is popping with a loud noise,the brakes are not antilock brakes,it feels as if I am hitting metal when I stop hard,the panel lights would flicker, lights on dash board when flash when I had seatbelt on. I had a chevrolet dealership fix the minor things. The battery cable was loose and they oiled the joints to stop the squeak. The dealer refused to fix the fuel pump which is unsafe and demand I pay him money that is already above the price of this car. I am paying $14,000 plus for a 2000 chevrolet blazer with a faulty fuel pump.the door entry will not properly take in the key to open the door.the gauge meters were dancing back and forth and not properly reading the fuel.it was a rental car before I bought it so I had no real history of recalls or mechanical reports.
Wheel bearings wear out prematurely. Parts have been replaced three times within one year.
The suspension on the vehicle...the control arm upper and lower ball joints and the sensors for the bas brakes all went at once...also the gasoline sensors in the vehicle..the gas amount never registers and the needle flips back and forth and I have researched similiar reports on the net and have found that all these issues are a major frequently occuring problem with the vehicles... I own a 2000 chevy blazer...I feel that the manufacturer of this vehicle should be fixing this problems...I have already paid for the ball joints and upper/lower arm and sensor to be fixed at a massive cost to me of over 1000.00 the vehicle is constantly having to have repairs done some of which are due to normal wear and tear but for all kinds of sensors to be going a truck is ridiculous..I am also as of a week ago experiencing problems with the door locks...the fuse for that equipment blows on a regualr basis..I have paid for vehicle diagnostics throught the portsmouth nh chevy dealer and they have found all kinds of other major problems with this vehicle..the cost of the vehicle was 18000 and by next year I will probably have spent $6-7000 trying to fix this vehicle.
While driving 25 MPH the transmission failed. The dealer was notified about 7 months ago but they could not duplicate or correct the problem. *ak the dealer was notified of the shruddering and slippage of the transmission at 23863. The front differential pinion seal leaked, the check light was replaced due to the malfunctioning switch, the brake light had become inoperative due to an open circuit, the heating seat was inoperative, there was a rattle in right front suspension, the transmission had no reverse, and there was hard shifting into the forward gears.
The ball joints need to be replaced on my blazer and I have only had it for about three months. The dealership has agreed to pay for all of it but $100.00.
The wheel bearing had to be replaced less than a month after I had it. The dealer did not charge me for that. I had the vehicle for about two and a half months and the transmission went out. The dealer only covered 30% of the cost which was better than nothing.
The two right and left wheel bearings were replaced.*mr. The lower ball joint and tires had to be replaced.
Front end problems, and security light staying on.
The wheel bearing broke and as a result the ABS did not work properly.
There was a clanking noise coming from the front wheel while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the front wheel bearing and hub need to be replaced.
The front wheel bearing experienced premature failure.
Upper ball failed right side.
Purchased 2000 blazer 11/24/00. Many problems since. Transmission cooler line, warranty repair. Oil cooler lines, upper and lower, warranty repair. Warranty expired and they are leaking still. Problem never really fixed. Idler arm, warranty repair. Driver side recline handle driver seat fell back would not return to upright position, warranty repair. Both front wheel bearings and rotors, warranty repair. From day 1 numerous rattles and squeaks. Door panels rattle constantly. Passenger seat rattles and squeaks. Windshield wiper entire arm came off, repaired at my expense. Out of warranty, at 41,699 miles but not even (2) years old, transmission had to be rebuilt at my expense. Chevy customer service is a joke! Cost of transmission $2,442 and the cost of a two week car rental. Even when transmission line had to be repaired we had to rent a car at our expense because local dealer refused to supply a loaner. Again chevy customer service a joke! Called chevy hot line/help line and was just given the run around. I will never buy chevy american made auto again. Why is it you can buy any item at most department stores and take it back and receive satisfaction, but spend $25,000+ for a chevy product and you are screwed when you simply want the reliability and service you were promised. I tell every person I meet not to buy a chevy. Solid like a rock? What a lie!
