2001 Chevrolet Blazer Suspension Problems

“Since I bought my 2001 chevy Blazer, I've had to replace ball joints everytime I have a front end alignment. This year I've replaced 3 wheel bearings, fuel pump, and I just lost my transmission. I've had the light recall fixed. My service engine light stays on, but you cannot put a computer to it because it doesn't work. My ABS light comes and goes. Whats next?”

“Had a terribly loud noise in the front end of our 2001 chevy Blazer and found out it was a front wheel hub and bearing assembly, cost $439.81. Now one year later the other side has gone and had to be replaced, we have almost $900. Into this repair that I now see appears to be a frequent problem with this vehicle. General motors needs to be accountable for there products, either on there own or forced to do some type of recall. We also had to have the brake light recall taken care of”

“I own a 2001 Chevrolet 2dr 2wheel drive Blazer. The wheel bearings and spindle / parts have already needed to be replaced on both sides/front. I found this problem because the wheel of my front passenger side came off while I was driving. Thankfully I heard the grinding and slowed my speed to 5-6 MPH and had turned my hazard lights on. From what I am learning this is a problem that is some what common with my make/model vehicle. I have also seem complaints of this nature on canadian auto club sites.”

“I have reviewed other owners complaints regarding their front suspension, fuel pump with random shut offs. My vehicle is experiencing the same and similar problems. As of today my vehicle is in the shop;I was doing 35-40 MPH when vehicle just un expectedly shut off. I was stranded on a major road which cause a significant traffic delay. I have an oil leak from the hose leading to my oil filter and the vehicle pull to the right sharply if I release the steering wheel. The vehicle makes a popping sound when turning. …”

“Not only have I had problems early with hub and bearing-- and also replaced ball bearing-- now the ABS-- manufacturers has done poor job on brake. Wheel parts- very cheap parts-- many talk about it and know that the Blazer has had problems with these parts. My family has purchased chevy's for years-- I am now never about to purchase a chevy again. While I pay my car payment, I always purchase new. I am always also paying for work done on this vehicle, and I am talking- over 2,000 so far and again have to go in today-- I may even trade it in I am so pissed. …”
