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.

Owns a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 with 68000 miles. The heater blows cold air only. The alternator has been replaced at least twice. I replaced it once, and previous owner replaced it once. Battery has been replaced at least twice. All ball joints replaced at least once to my knowledge. Fuel gauge broke before 50000 miles. Seat handle on passenger's side broken before 50000 miles. Tailgate won't open. Passenger side windshield wiper only moves half the time. That is all that I can recall right now.

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.

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 engine flush that I could do my shelf for $10 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.

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 per month! Japanese atomotive industry...here we come! ~ don schrader, pearl harbor, Hawaii.
