Problems with 2000 Chevrolet Blazer FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

My fuel gauge is not working i understand there is a recall on it how do i find out? *tr

Fuel gage switches between full to empty all the time. when the car is at stop and running, to driving down the road. you never really know how much gas you really have. i have taken to writing down the mileage every time i fill up. *tr

Fuel gauge indicator not working. i was looking online to see what may be the problem. and i found thousands of personal owner reviews and defects they had with their 2000 chevy blazer and they all have the same problem as me.. you should check into that.. *tr

I bought my used 2000 chevy blazer 4 door 4wd this year and noticed that the fuel gauge was erratic. when filled up it reads full but after driving over 150 miles the fuel gauge jumps around from empty to full continuously. i've read several reviews at this site and believe chevy has a major defect in the fuel sending unit for this vehicle that they need to research and correct. i believe a recall for this problem is in order. *tr

Fuel gage shows low fuel then full then back to low fuel . it does not give a accurate reading. *tr

Fuel gauge not working when 1/2 tank fuel level. seat lever lets seat slide all they way back while driving. *tr

Fuel gauge fluctuations. *jb

Ball joints upper and lower replaced at 40k and 100k miles. will be needing to be replaced again very soon at 140k miles. the replacement at 40k was a total failure of passenger side ball joints to wit: vehicle was incapacitated as wheel was left 'bent'. fuel gauge fluctuated wildly if less than 1/3 tank of gas. fuel pump failed. *jb

Radley chevrolet did not provide us with a recall notice on brake lights not working. we have had problems with our 2000 chevrolet blazer from the start. we have been now told that the idler arm on the car is a safety hazard. we also had the fuel gauge go out. how often do these components go out. can you tell me anything about the idler arm and is there any recalls for this item. *jb

2000 blazer transmission failed, cost $3000 to repair. left ball joint failed and replaced all $500, pitman arm, idler arm, tie rods right and left needed replacement. left front wheel bearing hub failed and was replaced, both $800. overheating due to dexcool leak at intake needed replacement. i have a $20,000 piece of junk sitting in my driveway.this was ongoing from earlier year models but no recalls for this year ,why no body died ? fuel gauge bounced. *ak

I have a 2000 blazer with 58,000 miles and the fuel gauge does not work properly. i have heard dealers and mechanics say that it is common problem with chevrolet. i would like to know if they plan to address the issue. also, my locking rear differential does not work. my brother had it replaced twice under warranty on his 2004 z71.*jb

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.*ak

Gas gauge erratic on 2000 chevy blazer, can't tell how much gas is in the vehicle. *jb

The fuel guage in my 2000 chevy blazer stopped working causing me to run out of fuel with my 4 year old son in the vehicle. i also had a 1996 chevy blazer and the fuel guage stopped working (my father now owns this vehicle). i contacted chevrolet and they claimed that they have no reports of fuel guages that stop working. a very close friend of mine who worked for chevrolet for 20 years told me that this is not true. apparently the fingers on the sending unit were falling off causing the guage to not work.

I just purchased a 2000 blazer zr2, when the gas gauge hits 3/4 tank, the gauge will bounce back and forth from empty to full. i never know how much gas i really have, which could cause a real safety issue to myself, let alone the hundreds of dollars it would take to replace the fauly sensor. i've found that lots of gm consumers also have this problem, which i feel gm should be responsible for replacement. my vehicle only has 56000 miles.*ak

Dt: contact states the fuel gauge is not consistent in the readings. it does not measure the gasoline correctly. a mechanic stated there was a problem within the electronic wiring that deals with the computer to the fuel gauge. the vehicle has not been serviced for this problem.*ak

The gas gauge fluctuates from e - f when my tank is only half full. the only way i know how far i can drive is to zero out the trip odometer when i fill the gas tank. this vehicle had has approximately 55k miles on it - too few for this kind of problem.

2000 chevy blazerfuel guage doesn't register properly below 1/2 full. often fluctuates below 1/2 tank from empty to full or in between. only 25000 miles, just out of warranty (expired june 2004). *ak

Vehicle cut off while driving. it was towed to the dealer for inspection. dealer informed the consumer that the problem was due to a faulty electrical wiring coming from the fuel sending unit, located inside the fuel tank. consumer made the necessary repairs. also, consumer had a concern that the faulty wiring short could have ignited inside the fuel tank and caused an explosion. *ak

Fuel guage fluctuates between empty and full anytime fuel tank is less than half full. i am worried about possible voltage problems in the tank.*ak

Fuel level indicator: sending unit frequently fails causing indicator needle to constantly swing across face from 'e' to 'f'. chevy dealer says this is happening many times in blaser/s10 vehicles. chevy dealer says it's a bad sending unit that needs to be replaced and will fail again in a short amount of time. chevy dealer says that the manufacturer is well aware of this defective part problem that fails when used.

The gas guage on my vehicle has recently started bouncing around on my vehicle so most of the time i have no idea how much gas i have. two days ago i ran out of gas on a main highway and had to take my life into my hands to go get more. i'm not happy, i haven't had vehicle very long!!! i've been told it's the sending unit responsible for this and now i'll have to pay in excess of 600.00.

Fuel gauge fails to function properly. truck has no gas, yet gauge shows over a quarter tank. sometimes gauge fluctuates from full to empty randomly without reason after below half a tank. have run out of gas several times on highway. this seems to be a serious issue and costly repair. i know plenty of others with same problem as well as seeing numerous postings. *la

I bought a 2000 blazer in 2002. i took my vehicle overseas in 2003. much to my surprise, the gas gauge stopped working properly one day in 2004 causing me to run out of gas on a major international interstate. i took it to the dealership when i came back to the states only to be told, that something was wrong with the fuel pump. not only that, the module also has to be replaced because the fuel pump and module comes as a unit and you cannot replace the fuel pump without replacing the module. i am being told i have to pay $950 to have this problem fixed. i know i am not the only one with a blazer who is having this problem. gm has failed time and time again to acknowledge this as a manufacturer problem and people are losing money because of it. if i have to pay $950 out of my pocket to fix this problem, this will be one unhappy, loyal customer gm has lost because i will make sure that no one i know ever purchases a gm vehicle again. *tr

Problems that are not saftey issues: air conditioning doesn't work; door hinge pin needs to be replaced; driver's window slips off track to the outside of the frame, resulting in the back side of the window cracked at least a 1/4 of an inch (was told by friendly chevrolet in springfield il that this is a design problem and can not be fixed; called chevrolet and was told to take it back to dealer and pay them to reevaluate the problem; ) safty issues: ball joints need to be replaced;gas gauge sending unit doesn't work;;differential is leaking and plug connected to this needs to be drilled out and rethreaded to find out how bad the leak is; windshield wiper on driver's side loose and flips off to the left of the windshield in heavy rain and snow; electrical harnass needs to be replaced; engine insolation pealing off under hood; engine light on continually; car stalls intermitantly(first time it happened, was told the engine had overheated); at every start up, engine stays in nuetral (has no excellerator power)then catches after about three minutes); work done: thermostat hoses replaced;distributor replaced;spark plug wires and spark plugs replaced; sepentine belt replaced; part between the axle and the u joints needed to be replaced; oil leak fixed;fuel injector replaced; i have no idea what will go wrong when; it's like playing russian rullett while driving; have rented vehicle twice; will also need to rent vehicle for cross country road trip next week; will not risk driving this car; (incident date: first incident-day estimated)

Fuel guage failure on 2000 blazer. teenage son stranded on middle freeway lane during heavy traffic. guage showed fuel. tank empty. estimated repairs= $600.00. this has happened to friends with same year chevrolets. internet full of complaints. this is a serious safety issue, and a very costly repair that many cannot afford. please, please help. i am submitting the same complaint for 1997 chevrolet!*ak

2002 chevrolet blazer 4x4. failure of fuel pump and fuel gauge sending unit - resulting in car stalling at high and low speeds causing hazard in traffic. parts replaced by dealership, total cost over $1,000. *ak

The fuel sending unit is operating erratically, causing the gas gauge to be inaccurate. the cost of repair is $400.00 for a new sending unit/fuel pump and $200 for labor! i have heard from other gm owners that this is becoming a common problem. gm will never get my money for a new car again if they don't own up to this problem. *ak

Fuel guage is erratic below 1/4 tank. *ak

Fuel gauge does not read accurately. when i fill the tank the gauge goes to full. it seem to read accurately until getting to half tank. at that time it remains right at half full no matter how much further i drive. i have noticed several other identical complaints with the same vehicle. running out of gas is a very unsafe possibility! the repair for the sending unit was quoted to me $750 which is outrageous for something that is a common problem and should be recalled. *la

The fule sending unit went out and the transmission went out at 50,000 miles. *ak

Fuel level sensor stopped functioning just out of warranty. have run out of gas several times since. now front wheel hub bearing is making a loud humming noise.*ak

Gas gauge reads full with less than 1/2 tank. i also own a 1997 s-10 with the same problem. reset the trip odometer after fill-up with both of them. *la

The fuel gauge almost never reads less than 5/8 full. every couple of months, it will show empty (when empty), monentarily, but them bounce back to 5/8 full. the dealer replaced the gauge cluster twice under warranty, and it failed again in a short period of time. i met another person who bought a 2001 with the same problem. *ak

Consumer states 4 way flashers and brake lights failed 5 times and the multifunction switch was replaced 3 times. however, after replacement, consumer recevied recall notice (01v364000) relating to brake light and hazard flashing light failure. consumer is requesting reimbursement for out of pocket expenses. *tt
