2000 Chevrolet Blazer Exterior lighting Problems

“My blinkers started blinking real fast and I couldn't figure out why. I asked my brother and he told me I had a light out somewhere, so he helped me locate it. It was my blinker on the driver side back. I replaced it and a few months later it happened again. I replaced it again. All this happened in 2013. In the summer of 2014 it happened again with the same light. I replaced it again. I was watching good morning america this morning and seen where they were investigating safe cars at used car dealers. It gave a web site to look and see if your vehicle has any recalls. …”

“I stopped at a traffic light and was hit in the rear by the vehicle behind, driving my vehicle into the vehicle in front of me. I was given a traffic ticket and my vehicle sustained damage to front and rear. The driver behind me stated that my vehicle did not have brake lights. Which was confirmed by the officer. The diagnosis by the dealership was that the multifunction switch in the steering column was broken. This was done on nov. 10, 2009 as I have been unable to get the vehicle there due to legal problems. …”

“The turn signal in the vehicle began clicking even when the switch was in the neutral (off) position several months ago, however, the turn signals appeared to work properly. A couple weeks ago, while sitting at a left turn light with the turn signal on, a white stream of smoke began coming out of the steering column in the vicinity of the turn signal level. I turned off the level, and the smoke stopped. No corrective action has been taken yet, but I am afraid a fire may start in the vehicle from this. …”

“My vehicle was recently purchased from a coworker with a known recall that was already fixed once and now is not functioning again. I called Chevrolet and they told me there is not much they could do since it was beyond the warranty ,I had it diagnosed at a dealership which cost me $85.00 to tell me what I already knew but they would not fix it. This is failure that is known and I believe was not corrected the first time so I should not be responsible for the repair costs since it is a safety issue. The item is a 4 way switch.”

“I was notified by another driver I had no brake lights, brought back to dealer and informed that it would cost $400 to fix. Found out through my employer there had been a recall for this problem. Why was it not corrected before I purchased it from the chevy dealer. Also informed my airbag warning light was on and the a module was at fault and would cost another $550 to fix and that it may inflate airbag while driving. These are totally unrealistic problems to occur in a 2 year old model with less then 40,000 mi.”
