Chevy Blazer 2000 - In my 35 years of driving I have never owned such a poorly built vehicle as my 2000 Chevy Blazer. The number of problems is ridiculous. From the very beginning small things started and now it has grown to larger and more expensive problems. With 55,000 miles it has had more problems than my old 1977 Datsun 280Z with over 200,000 miles.

Chevy Blazer 2000

Personal Vehicle.

In my 35 years of driving I have never owned such a poorly built vehicle as my 2000 Chevy Blazer. The number of problems is ridiculous. From the very beginning small things started and now it has grown to larger and more expensive problems. With 55,000 miles it has had more problems than my old 1977 Datsun 280Z with over 200,000 miles. The latter has only required new tires, brakes, a fuel backflow valve, and a clutch.

My Blazer:

Driver side seat handle broken.

Passenger side seat handle broken.

Driver side handle broken again.

Radiator leaked and required replacement. (After warranty period)

Intake manifold leaked. Required fixing and a full system (oil and cooling system) flush. (After warranty period)

AC is intermittant. Haven't fixed YET. (After warranty period). Nice on those summer days is SE Virginia with 95 degrees and 95% humidity that is typical of our summers.

Gas gauge is intermittant and seemingly random. (After warranty period). Haven't fixed YET. I use the trip odometer to see when I get to 250 miles. Having to do that is just BS.

Heater core leaked and required replacement. (After warranty period).

Combine this with very poor rearview vision along with the same gas mileage as my brothers Yukon with a big V8 and much more weight and what do you have - junk.

I asked my Chevy service rep will he be able to fix my Toyota when I buy it. It said he can service it, but it probably won't ever need fixing.

I completly agree. We have had the same problems also. Unfortunately, its our only vehicle. Drivers side door broke, passenger door broke, fuel guage non-existent...I have ran out of gas too many times. The minute the low fuel light comes on I better be at a gas station. Unfortuantely it will read 1/2 a tank until the last minute. Everytime my husband get's in and out of it he says a few explicit words and says "I will never buy a chevy again!!!"

oh my god, i wish i had seen this before i bought my blazer. the gas gauge doesn't work i also have to use the odometer to guess, i usually just fill up every 3 days. the heater just went out. i bought the beast 2 1/2 weeks ago and i am taking it back to see if they will really fix it like they said, if you have any problems. piece of sh!t!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have a 2000 Chevy Blazer and have almost had the same exact problems with it. I need to replace the seconed radiator along with the heater core right now. Passenger side handle is broken. Frount sway bar clamp had to be repaired. (no I don't take it off road) Oh and the gas gauge doesnt work. I have to go by the milage too. I am a single mom and now have to spend over 1000 dollares just for the heater core and radiator to be replaced. Luckily the radiator that I had put in a couple years ago is still under warrenty so I just have to pay for labor or it would cost more.
