2001 Chevrolet Blazer Complaint Log

Chevy Blazer has low milage. However, it still has several electrical issues radio at engine start goes to loudest point and car seats move backwards at awkward times which can cause an accident. Suspension very off guard, truck drifts to the sides while driving and makes an awkward sound when turning steering wheel. The complete break / steering system is off and may cause an accident if not properly take care right away. I have no money to do this big job. Please remediate.

Seatbelt randomly becomes unbuckled while I am driving.

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer. The contact stated that fuel was leaking from the top of the fuel tank. There was an abnormal fuel odor detected. Additionally, the vehicle was slow to start. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact was concerned about the fuel odor and a possible fire. The failure mileage was unknown.

I HAVE A 2001 BLAZER THAT KEEPS POPPING UP A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES.I.E P0301,P0753,P0756,P0758. I HAVE HAD THESE PARTS REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CODES COME BACK AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 100 MILES.

MY HAZARDS AND BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T TURN ON.

JUST GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND CAME BACK AND TRUCK WAS FIRE.

TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE CORRODED AND PITTED. THE LINES ARE INSTALLED OVER THE EXHAUST CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE LINES, WHICH IS DRIPPING ONTO HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS AND BURNING, CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. THESE LINES APPEAR TO BE STAINLESS STEEL, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE CORRODING. THE LINES SHOULD NOT BE IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EXHAUST COMPONENTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING/IN MOTION, TRANSMISSION FLUID POOLS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE VEHICLE. IN MOTION, THE FLUID IS BEING BLOWN REARWARD, COATING THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND EXHAUST.

BRAKE PEDAL SOFT AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP CAME ON ,MADE PARTIAL CHECK ( IT WAS DARK ALREADY ) OF BRAKE SYSTEM AND ONE OF THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE LINES IS RUSTED THRU AND LEAKING CHECKED FOR RECALL BUT NO LUCK. VEHICALIN MOTION ON A CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT.

MY 2001 BLAZER'S BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RECENT DRIVE, AND ANOTHER DRIVER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO POINT THIS OUT AT A STOPLIGHT. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED AGAIN, BUT REMAINED ON AFTER I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WAS THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE (GM RECALL NUMBER 01073) AND GM RECALLED A NUMBER OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLES, BUT MY BLAZER'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 01V364000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

BOTH FRONT DOORS STRIKERS ARE BROKEN OFF OF THE FRAME. NO RUST .NO WRECKS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STRIKER AND DOOR LATCH ARE DEFECTIVE. THE STRIKER HAS NO RUST AND IS NOT IN POSITION TO LATCH THE DOOR TIGHT THAT LEAVES A GAP BETWEEN THE DOOR AND BODY. THE DOOR LATCH AFTER OPENING THE DOOR REMAINS IN A CLOSED POSITION AND NEED TO MANUALLY LIFT THE LOCK IN ORDER TO SHUT THE DOOR. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES THAT DOES NOT SHOW ACCURATE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, 1/2, FULL, 3/4 TO LOW. UNSURE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. *TR

ANY TIME I AM DRIVING MY FUEL GAUGE GOES CRAZY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I ACTUALLY HAVE BECAUSE IT CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN. I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES BECAUSE IT SHOWS I HAVE 1/4 TANK OR MORE AND THEN IT'LL JUST GO DOWN ALL THE WAY, THEN SHOOT UP 3/4 TANK AND SO ON. WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP, ESPECIALLY IN SMALL DOWNHILLS, MY BRAKE PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING AND BARELY SLOWS DOWN. I GET NERVOUS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID MY CAR WILL NOT STOP. IT ALSO DOES THIS IF I'M STARTING TO BRAKE, AND ONE OF THE WHEELS HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THEN IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE NORMALLY BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING, THE ABS BRAKES LIGHT COMES ON, AND MY CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHICH IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. *TR

ABOUT ONCE A FEW WEEKS, MY ABS WILL ACTIVATE WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO. I WILL BE TRYING TO MAKE A NORMAL STOP, SOMETIMES AN ABNORMALLY SLOW STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL VIBRATE AND DEPRESS BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T STOP THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. AT THAT POINT, I USUALLY JAM THE BRAKES DOWN AND PRAY. SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH STOPPING DISTANCE, I WILL PUMP THE BRAKES AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN ARE YOU FORCE GM TO DO A RECALL? I READ THE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TODAY, AND THIS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ON AND WHEN BRAKING THE ABS WILL ACTIVATE MAKING BRAKING DIFFICULT. *TR

BRAKE/ABS LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH, NO ABS BRAKES AT ALL, SO NOW WHAT ??? *TR

MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH IN MY 2001 CHEVY BLAZER THAT CONTROLS THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS IS ON A RECALL. MY BLAZER DOES NOT MATCH ANY OF THE VIN # THAT ARE LISTED EVEN THOUGHT I HAVE THE EXACT YR AND PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. *TR

IGNITION KEY WILL TURN BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START SOMETIMES. KEY WILL NOT ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE KEY SWITCH. VAT MALFUNCTION. *TR

WE OWN A 2001 BLAZER AND RECENTLY THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME. ALSO, THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK. IF YOU HOLD THE HAZARD SWITCH PART WAY DOWN AND HOLD IT VERY STEADY YOU CAN GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND SIGNALS TO WORK. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALER, BUT THEY TELL ME THIS IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MULTI FUNCTION TURN SWITCH. FROM WHAT I SEE ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2000 BLAZER HAS ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR A HAZARD SWITCH PROBLEM. I WOULD BET THE 2001 MODEL IS IDENTICAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ILLUMINATED AT TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WANTED TO KNOW WHY THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED UNDER RECALL 08V231000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: BRAKE LIGHTS: SWITCH) WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

THE GAS PEDAL HANGS UP ON THE FLOOR CARPET (THE WEAR STRIP INTEGRATED INTO THE CARPET THAT IS UNDER THE GAS PEDAL AND WRAPS UP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION TUNNEL) WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE SHAFT THAT THE GAS PEDAL IS ATTACHED TO HAS PART OF IT STICKING OUT PAST THE GAS PEDAL AND HAS A SHARP EDGE THAT SNAGS THE EDGE OF THE WEAR STRIP. THE CARPET IS NOT WORN, IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AND IS ONLY GETTING DAMAGED WHEN THE GAS PEDAL SNAGS THE CARPET WEAR STRIP. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IN THE PAST 5 YEARS. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY NEVER GOT BACK TO ME FIVE YEARS AGO. IN APRIL 2010, IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO GET AWAY FROM ANOTHER CAR THAT ALMOST HIT ME IN THE SIDE AND THE GAS PEDAL STUCK AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR AND A BUILDING. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN SALLISAW OKLAHOMA, AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE CHEVROLET HOT-LINE FOR COMPLAINTS. I CONTACTED THEM AND WAITED A WEEK FOR THEM TO GET BACK TO ME LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD, AND I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN TWO WEEKS, AND IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER WEEK PAST THAT TIME. I AM AFRAID THAT MAYBE NEXT TIME I WONT BE ABLE TO REACH DOWN AND YANK THE PEDAL UP WHERE IT IS SNAGGED ON THE CARPET. *TR

2001 BLAZER FWD, ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS IMPEDING ALL MANUAL BRAKING FUNCTIONS. *TR

MY 2001 CHEVY BLAZER STOP LIGHTS ARE NOT OPERABLE DUE TO A KNOWN GM RECALL 08V231000 HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS WITHOUT ME PAYING UP FRONT. LOSS OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS HAVE MADE MY VEHICLE INOPERABLE. THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SWITCH THAT CAUSE SMOKE TO COME FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AS WELL. *TR

ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN AT VERY LOW SPEED AND OVERRIDES NORMAL BRAKING. *TR

DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AND SAID THE SAME MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF A KNOW SAFETY DEFECT THAT BUT CHEVROLET TELLS ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THE CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL FUNCTIONS ARE NOT AFFECTED. THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT GM NEEDS TO IDENTIFY FOR THIS RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN WHEN MY ABS SYSTEM KICKED ON AND COULDN'T STOP. NOW MY ABS LIGHT STAYS ON.. I HAVE WENT THROUGH MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE BACK OF MY 01 CHEVY BLAZER GO OUT FROM TIME TO TIME. WE GOT THE RECALL INFO FROM CHEVY AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. CHEVY SAID THEY FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE WE HAD THE CAR THUS THEY ARE OFF THE HOOK FOR ANY LIABILITY. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL IS OCCURRING WITH THE CAR. THE COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS CLOSE TO 1000 DOLLARS AND I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY FIXED IT. I FEEL THAT CHEVY SHOULD STILL FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS IT WASN'T DONE RIGHT ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
