This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Fuel gauge jumps from full to empty all the time regardless how much fuel is in the tank - making the gauge useless for displaying the amount of gas in the tank (same thing happens on my 2001 Blazer).
The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. While driving approximately 5 mph the contact noticed the fuel gauge reading fluctuating. The contact was unable to determine the accurate fuel amount that was in the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
The fuel pump went out. It was replaced with a brand new pump, then 4 months later there is an obvious fuel line issue. My sons 2002 Blazer died while going down the street and there seems to be a leak in the fuel lines. After spending $331 for the fuel pump and now the Chevy dealer wants over $200 for the fuel lines for a problem that seems to be with the truck itself. I have read numerous complaints about the fuel lines in this year and make truck with no recalls I know of to resolve the problem.
99 - S-10 Chevy truck and 02 Chevy Blazer: Fuel pump quits while in motion on freeway. A safety issue luckily was able to steer on shoulder without any accident. Truck towed and fuel pump system replaced, a costly expense.
Consumer states the fuel guage is erratic and has unreliable readings. The vehicle is running out of gas and the tank no longer fills up to its correct gallon. The Chevrolet manufacture is aware and looking into the problem.
