“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10148536, filed 2006-01, 50,000 miles“I have a tailgate/hatchback combination. The latching mechanism has separated from the glass. The glass company that the dealership sent me to told me this was a manufacturer's defect and that new glass would have to be ordered. I went back to the dealership and they told me that it could be that, but also offered an implausable explanation for a scenario were separation from the glass might have occurred. They refuse to rectify the situation or even investigate it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10021076, filed 2003-06, 4,200 miles“The front bumper of my 2000 Chevrolet Blazer was completely crushed when I hit a sign pole in a parking lot. It was in my blind spot (where the front windshield meets the driver-side door, that strip of metal) when I pulled slightly forward and to the left to leave the lot. I could not have been going very fast, this pole was within 4' of my car, yet this approx 4 diameter metal pole completely crushed the bumper. This is unbelievable frailty in such an important part of the protection afforded a car's occupants. I'd like chevy to replace the bumper. This is unacceptable to me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10036933, filed 2003-08, 175,231 miles“The grommet on door hinge is worn due to misalignment of door which caused the door latch to hit the striker improperly. This resulted in the striker bending and eventually caused too much pressure on the door well causing the body frame to crack. According to the body shop estimator this is extremely common in Chevrolet blazers.”
