| 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. *ak | |||

| Since day 1 when vehicle purchased, notice significant loss of power and tachometer jumps up and down with air conditioning on. this didn't occur when other blazers were driven. absolutely no pickup even at higher speeds. this creates a significant problem when in highway traffic. engine check light came on at 1400 miles, stayed on. brought in to dealer, claimed an evaporation problem and hose was kinked at a 90 degree angle. supposedly fixed problem, yet still have significant power loss. extremely poor gas mileage.*ak | |||

| 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). | |||
