| 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. *tr | |||

| 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: nhtsa action number: rq08001. 11/21/2009: called the gm number listed on the nhtsa 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. *tr | |||

| I bought the 2000 blazer used just over a year ago and have had nothing but problems. to begin, i replaced the alternator, fuel pump, and virtually all suspension components in the front end with just over 65,000 miles. on vacation during one of the hottest days of the year traveling home the blazer over heated and left my family and i stranded on a major interstate with no a/c for nearly an hour before getting towed to the worst chevrolet dealer in the country(richmond, va). we were forced to pay for a new radiator and miscellaneous parts totaling over $600. they said the coolant system was full of rust and the radiator was plugged and could not be reused. now i'm experiencing the service engine soon that will not go out. after numerous trips to the dealer that started with leaking oil cooler lines, they said that the crank sensor was going bad. i replaced it, still the light stays on. next they say there is a misfire in cylinder 2, i replace the plugs, wires, rotor, and cap. still the light stays on. all of these repairs within the first 14 months of owning this junk and it is not anywhere near being paid for. gm needs to fix these problems. i have spoke with other blazer owners and they too have experienced nothing but trouble. and the big 3 wonder why they are losing customers and market share. have they ever heard of quality? looks like i'm going foreign. *jb | |||

| I purchased my 2000 blazer ls 2dr 4x4 with 58000 miles. at speeds around 65-70, it vibrates pretty harshly. i have brand new tires, breaks, and my u-joints and bearings have been inspected and found to be fine. still have vibration. i have noticed via the internet that this is a known problem with blazer's and it is just a defect in the way the drivetrain was built. i feel that this problem should be investigated and repaired by gm. also at 58000 miles i had to replace the alternater. i spoke with the person who i bought the vehicle from and they said that they had replaced it once also, therefore this would be the 3rd alternater in under 60000 miles. | |||

| 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. *ak | |||

| 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. *la | |||

| I own a 2000 chevy blazer and when it rains the brakes go out the vehicle will not stop the pedal won't go to the floor and it when you try to push the breaks it makes a funny clicking kind of noise and the pedal just hops not letting you break. then when you take off after you stopped (by the emergency break)the back end slides sideways like the front breaks are locked up. i almost killed myself and my kids because i couldn't stop! that is extremely dangerous! it only happens when it rains or go through water. others with the same kind of vehicle said the had that problem as well. *nm | |||

| See nhtsa item# 623034. security lamp illuminates while driving and then the associated passlock security system either stalls out my engine while driving or causes a shut-down of my vehicle whereby the engine will not start for at least 10 minutes. this has happened late at night, at intersections, gas stations, etc. the amount of times i have had to wait for this security system to reset has become frustrating. i have done extensive research on this via respectable online forums, and there are many owners not just of the 2000 chevrolet blazer but of a number of vehicles in the entire gm family who have this same problem. we are all crying out for a recognition of this being a safety issue, not just an issue of inconvenience. failure to start and stalling are symptoms that are only going to lead in one direction. there are literally hundreds of posts on this issue if one goes to an online forum and searches under the terms security light or passlock within the gm context. i have been to my dealer numerous times, have attempted to work with chevrolet, and nothing seems to be getting resolved. i am under the impression that a mechanical solution to this problem does not exist, short of disabling the system altogether (which dealers are not allowed to do). i would welcome any further contact from nhtsa regarding this matter and would gladly go to the expense of photocopying and sending the binder of materials i have collected on this subject. if it will make a difference in preventing a future injury or death (if any have not already occurred), i am all for it. thank you for your time and efforts on behalf of auto safety. *tr | |||

| 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. *la | |||
