EVER SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE, THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT LOCK. THEREFORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AND NOT KNOW THE IGNITION SWITCH IS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. ALSO, THE GAS GAUGE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP TO KNOW WHEN I NEED GAS. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I OWN THE TRUCK. OCCASIONALLY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON (I KNOW I HAVE FUEL) AND THE TRUCK STARTS ACTING LIKE IT'S LOW ON GAS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES WILDLY BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY WHEN TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL. IF YOU LOOK IT UP THE GMC JIMMY WHICH USES THE SAME FUEL SYSTEM HAS THE SAME CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE TANK. THIS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE RAN INTO ME, BUT IT DID CREATE A BAD TRAFFIC PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS A PROBLEM BUT THE MECHANICS I'VE TALKED TO SAY THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE TO REPAIR ALL THE TIME. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY USED 2000 CHEVY BLAZER 4 DOOR 4WD THIS YEAR AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ERRATIC. WHEN FILLED UP IT READS FULL BUT AFTER DRIVING OVER 150 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE JUMPS AROUND FROM EMPTY TO FULL CONTINUOUSLY. I'VE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AT THIS SITE AND BELIEVE CHEVY HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT THEY NEED TO RESEARCH AND CORRECT. I BELIEVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS IN ORDER. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2000 BLAZER IN 2002. I TOOK MY VEHICLE OVERSEAS IN 2003. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY ONE DAY IN 2004 CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INTERSTATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE STATES ONLY TO BE TOLD, THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP. NOT ONLY THAT, THE MODULE ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP AND MODULE COMES AS A UNIT AND YOU CANNOT REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITHOUT REPLACING THE MODULE. I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY $950 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A BLAZER WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS FAILED TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING MONEY BECAUSE OF IT. IF I HAVE TO PAY $950 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THIS WILL BE ONE UNHAPPY, LOYAL CUSTOMER GM HAS LOST BECAUSE I WILL MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE I KNOW EVER PURCHASES A GM VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

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
