Heater core on 2000 blazer leaked around weld.
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!
Never took in for rear wiper. Started leaking oil, so took to dealer here in roosevelt 21, dec. Started to provo jan. 10, cruise control went off, speedometer would not work, this caused the car to not shift. Pulled off road as car stops, turned car back on, turned around to return home. Afraid to continue over mountains. Took to murry motors, could not find anything wrong. Took for a 30 minute mile ride and it happened again. Will take back this following monday to be checked again. Can not drive if it wont shift. Took to murray motors for oil leak. They replaced two hoses. Not connected properly, causing leak. Thanks mrs. Riding. *jb ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****770837
The passenger side power window fails to go either up or down when the button is depressed. The windows would become stuck in either the up or down position for 1/2 hour or more before it would function again. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem . *ts
The vents on the floorboard on driver and passenger side blow out hot air.
Consumer states power window on the driver?s side failed.
When the comfort control system mode knob is turned to the off position, the front floor outlets direct hot air through these lower vents. Moving the temperature knob to blue (coldest area) has no effect. Warm hot air continues to vent with system in off position. While the owner's manuel advises that when mode knob is in the off position "some outside air will still enter the vehicle". It is very hot air not outside air that enters the vehicle. The only way to isolate the hot air is to never select "off" on mode switch, and selecting either air conditioning or vent position (selecting the latter shuts off the hot air floor vents but then instrument panel vents must be individually closed to stop air flow . I have had my vehicle in twice for this problem and was advised "npf, no problem found". I believe one service manager was most correct in advising that this was a design fault by chevrolet. I confirmed that there are quite a number of blazer owners in web site auto chat room that are frustrated with this flaw. My main concern is that the air is so hot that even when artificially isloted by non-standard ventilation control selections, there may be damage under the panels or to the ventilation or electrical sytems.
Engine stalled while driving, dealer determined fuel gauge was broken, mastercard was replaced.*ak consumer stated the gas gauge read ? Of a tank, dealer found broken fuel card and replaced the card, parking brake hose broke of and drum was rusty causing parking brake to hang up, dealer replaced damaged shoes and rusted drums, brake lights and lights intermittently inoperative, while braking and turning to the right vehicle is making grinding noise from front, dealer replaced left hub, while driving brakes make noise, dealer found rotors out of round, wipers will intermittently not work, and also there was a burning smell coming from fuse area, driver side seat would not lock into place and the recliner broke, drivers side door panel was loose, dealer replaced side door panel and drivers window was loose and rattling, molding was also rattling.
Windshield wipers did not work, dealer determined that windshield wiper wiring had not been connected and had burned out the fuses.
While driving noticed inside of vehicle would overheat up to 120 degrees. This caused driver's legs to become very red. Had taken vehicle to dealership, and was informed by mechanic that problem was okay in the beginning. Went back to dealership, and was informed that problem lies with way vehicle was built. There was nothing that could be done. Vehicle was leased.
Front passenger door would stick it would take all your effort to open it. They adjusted the door stricker and lubed the hinges 5/24/00. 7/25/00 door was still sticking again they adjusted door and stricker. Powertrain- rear 7/25/00 reported that rear shakes and shimmys on acceleration from a stop.

I also had no brake lights this visit. It had blown 3 fuses. They found that multifuntion switch was defective and was hoping that that would solve the air bag problem. 9/25/01 took in for air bag light again. Codes that showed up were v1000, v1016,v1041,v1064,v1096 reset codes said that it was stating that it was not registering a problem wit the air bag. This trip I had the window lock overide replaced. All windows were locked except for the drivers. 10/10/01 took back in for air bag light. Not registering again. Traced wiring to splice pak 201 cleaned and reroute and reinstall buss. This trip the rear passenger door lock was not working and it was replaced. Told me to call if light came on again. 10/23/01 light came on while driving home. Called and took back to shop 10/24/01. It was not reading any codes. They drove car 140 miles and could not get it to come on. They told me the next time it comes on if in daytime monday- friday to call them and they will come and get the car, not to cut it off and they will hook it up to the computer while the light is still on. Please help!!!!! What options do I have? Does the lemon law apply here????
Consumer noticed a burned area on the ceiling, the dealer stated that it was caused from the sun reflecting off of mirror.
Passenger's side power window would not respond to switch to stop or lower window while dog head was hanging out of window. Local fire department arrived to break window before dog choked to death. Dealer notified, and was unwilling to assist in this situation. Consumer states dealership was notified on several occasions but has declined to take any action.
Windshield wipers intermittently shut off, unable to operate for up to several minutes.chevrolet refuses to replace any components, or properly troubleshoot problem chevrolet action request # c03815690.
When hatchback was closed front driver's side window shattered. This may cause injuries to occupant. Dealer was not contacted by the problem. Window was replaced under insurance.
Windshield wiper blades makes noise. (attorney for consumer) yh
The right side outside mirror cannot be properly adjusted to eliminate a blind spot. It locks in to a "normal" driving position and even the power adjustment cannot move the mirror far enought out. The preset mounted angle is wrong. I called the service manager and he told me I am not the first to complain and even he, when he was using a blazer noted that the mirror would not take a proper setting. He told me he even "called around" and was told that's the way it's comes from the factory and cannot be changed. It must be corrected so the blind spot on the right side is eliminated.
The bar attached behind windows obstructs driver's view. Its a blind spot & can not see other vehicles on right hand side. Also, front of the hood is tapered down. Taking vehicle back to dealer to check.
