Faults:

I've owned my 2000 Blazer for about 3 months now, and I am amazed at all the similarities in problems:

- Passenger door leaks

- Rear wiper stopped working

- Service 4wd Light comes on (going to try changing the crank oil)

- Both front bearings went bad

- Tires dealer said I needed upper ball joints and idler arm, NONE OF WHICH WERE BAD!!! (ANNOYED ME - never going there again.)

- And now an oil leak that looks like it's from a hose on the sending unit.

- GAS PIG

- Both handles for front seat adjustment broken.

Other than that, I love it. ;)

General Comments:

Love how it drives and handles.

Needs better fuel economy.

Some parts and troubles should have been worked out by this year and model... no excuses for that.

Faults:

First fuel pump went at 48000 miles.

Second fuel pump at 122000.

Wheel bearings within first year.

Driver seat recliner lever the first year. The passenger side the next year.

A/C twice still doesn't work.

No heat. Haven't had that looked at yet. Can't believe it could be the heater core. $$$$$

Drivers side door doesn't close right.

Back windshield wiper not working.

Back window not latching properly. Fixed this with WD 40. Seems to be OK now.

Both lower ball joints replaced in last two years and idler arm.

Lots of other stuff I don't know the names for.

General Comments:

The car still rides pretty smoothly. Gas mileage is what I expected. It handles well in the snow. I have a boyfriend who's a mechanic or I would have gotten rid of it when the warranty was up. Won't go back to the dealer who sold me the car for maintenance. They need serious help. I hope GM has to make a lot of concessions in this so called government bailout. Some of these problems shouldn't have occurred. The guys and gals on the line need to take a cut in pay.

Faults:

Left front tire wears on outside.

General Comments:

This has been a good dependable 4wd transportation; avg 18mpg.

Have only added tires, plugs, gas oil and filters. We have not touched the engine or changed the fluid in the transmission, transfer case, or front and rear axles.

Needs driver door bushings and heater coil.

This has really been Solid Like A Rock American Made vehicle!!!

Faults:

In the last 6 months I replaced:

Rusted out Catalytic converter 985.00

Rotors new on front+back 220.00

All new pads 70.00

Replaced all door hinge pins (doors wouldn't close right)

Locks pop out of place all the time also.

Replaced wheel bearing hub assembly left side, now I have to do the right side. 500.00.

Brand new tires (ones that were on were too big and worn out) 500.00.

I'm approaching 2k+ for repairing this thing and keeping it running.

General Comments:

Barbishes garbages.

Faults:

Driver side door handle broke off, but I fixed it with a kit I found on the internet. I replaced both handles (for $50) by myself.

Fuel pump went at 80000 miles. I bought a fuel pump for $260 and had it installed for $200.

At 49000 miles, I had the dancing fuel gauge problem, and the dealer replaced the fuel sending unit for free.

I am ready to replace both front & rear shocks with Monroe Reflex Shocks.

Otherwise the car has been good to me, especially in the (NJ) winter.

Faults:

- New oil cooling lines.

- New radiator/hoses (completely cracked and spilled on the driveway).

- Antifreeze leak (new engine gasket and a cooling line).

- Faulty 4 wheel drive switch.

- Faulty mirror adjusting switch.

- Rear windshield wiper works when it wants (you can hear the gears grinding when it doesn't).

- Handle on interior back door is broken and the little button on the outside (I don't know what it does) doesn't work.

General Comments:

This is my first car and was hoping it would be convenient and reliable, but both of those have gone out the window with such repairs, and those which are routine, and not mentioned like new spark plugs, oil change, routine stuff, but this is ridiculous. I'm just hoping the transmission isn't going to scramble too.
