Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2000 Chevrolet Blazer owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
The handle that allows you to recline the seat broke off flushed with the seat, this happened to both the driver and passenger seats in June 2005. The hood will not pop up when the lever was pulled until one banged on the grill or the hood in certain spots, which just started in March of 2007. The gas mileage dropped from 20 mpg to 16 mpg within 6 months. The back glass stuck and was hard to open, started in 2006. When turning on the air conditioner (A/C ) the car had no power, I have to turn it off when accelerating on the interstate or on hills. If the cruise control was set it kicked off when the A/C was on. When I needed to stop quickly the brakes failed, and felt a grinding sensation through the pedal, but the mechanic changed the brakes and checked the rotors, but hasn't found any problem. Suspected a defect somewhere in the brake system\ as of 2005. …

Occasionally the front wipers on my 2000 Chevy Blazer would stop working for no reason at all and eventually after a few minutes would kick back on, but as of yesterday dec 21 2008 they will not come back on. I was informed that this is probably due to a bad wiper circuit board. This same problem occurred and had a recall for a 1997 Chevy s10 pickup. And guess what??? They use the same part number. However Chevy will not replace the wiper circuit board on my vehicle because there was never a recall on my specific vehicle model/year. If it is the same part and I am having the same problem this should be replaced by the manufacturer. Now out of pocket I am looking at $150 or a little more depending on what parts store I can find this circuit board at. I called several dealerships and the Chevy 1-800#. …
Never took in for rear wiper. Started leaking oil, so took to dealer here in roosevelt 21, dec. Started to provo jan. 10, cruise control went off, speedometer would not work, this caused the car to not shift. Pulled off road as car stops, turned car back on, turned around to return home. Afraid to continue over mountains. Took to murry motors, could not find anything wrong. Took for a 30 minute mile ride and it happened again. Will take back this following Monday to be checked again. Can not drive if it wont shift. Took to murray motors for oil leak. They replaced two hoses. Not connected properly, causing leak. Thanks mrs.

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 .

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer. The vehicle was parked with the engine activated when the contact noticed that the rear tailgate window exploded. The dealer did not offer any assistance and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. No repairs were performed. The current and the failure mileages were 169,000.
The passenger side power window fails to go either up or down when the button is depressed. The windows would become stuck in either the up or down position for 1/2 hour or more before it would function again. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem .
I have had numerous problems with my 2000 Chevy Blazer ls 4x4. Under warranty the dealer replaced the oil lines by the oil filter, whole seat mechanism, driver side window motor, rear shock. They also fixed my hood rattle after 5 visits to the dealer and I told them what was wrong the first time it went in. Since then at 40,000 miles the driver side wheel bearing went out and had it replaced and at the same time had the fuel pump replaced since that went out also. At 50,000 miles the same one went out again and had it replaced. Now at 68,000 miles the passenger side wheel bearing is bad. Also on my first wheel bearing replacement, they told me the ball joints were very loose and should think about replacing those also. These things should never be going wrong with such low miles. …
