The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact took her vehicle to an authorized dealer and they stated that the frame, control arm, and torsion bar had excessive rust. The technician stated that in order for the vehicle to be classified as safe, she would have to replace the entire frame and members at her expense because the vehicle exceeded its warranty. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer did not assist. The failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 24,000. Updated 10/14/08 the rotors had to be replaced due to rust build-up. The driver side door pins, bushings and retainer had to be replaced due to rust. Updated 10/15/08.

Purchased a 2000 Chevy Blazer from harry green chev. In bridgeport, wv.we have had a water leak coming from the drivers door. The wind and water comes in around the door. We have notified them numberous times and they said they would check to see what they could do but have done nothing. The last time we talked to them they said we would have to pay to have the problem fixed. The problem was there since we purchased the vehicle and they should stand good to fix the problem. Seems as if the vehicle may have been wrecked beofre we purchased it but car fax said there wasn't nothing listed. We started off making payments and that was fine they would make regular check ups but as soon as we paid the vehicle off in full they have been giving us the run around. They told use they would take care of the problem but they won't and they want us to pay to have it fixed. The windshield also looks as if it may have been replaced.

Blazer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,699 miles
Purchased 2000 Blazer 11/24/00. Many problems since. Transmission cooler line, warranty repair. Oil cooler lines, upper and lower, warranty repair. Warranty expired and they are leaking still. Problem never really fixed. Idler arm, warranty repair. Driver side recline handle driver seat fell back would not return to upright position, warranty repair. Both front wheel bearings and rotors, warranty repair. From day 1 numerous rattles and squeaks. Door panels rattle constantly. Passenger seat rattles and squeaks. Windshield wiper entire arm came off, repaired at my expense. Out of warranty, at 41,699 miles but not even (2) years old, transmission had to be rebuilt at my expense. Chevy customer service is a joke! cost of transmission $2,442 and the cost of a two week car rental. Even when transmission line had to be repaired we had to rent a car at our expense because local dealer refused to supply a loaner. Again Chevy customer service a joke! called Chevy hot line/help line and was just given the run around. I will never buy Chevy american made auto again. Why is it you can buy any item at most department stores and take it back and receive satisfaction, but spend $25,000+ for a Chevy product and you are screwed when you simply want the reliability and service you were promised. I tell every person I meet not to buy a Chevy. Solid like a rock? what a lie!

Consumer woke up and vehicle's interior was all burned up. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said it was not caused by the vehicle. Consumer felt that the fire was caused by the electrical seats.
