THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY, IT WOULD NOT START WHEN I TURNED IT OFF TO GET GAS ON 9-26-03, THE LEFT FRONT END IS POPPING WITH A LOUD NOISE,THE BRAKES ARE NOT ANTILOCK BRAKES,IT FEELS AS IF I AM HITTING METAL WHEN I STOP HARD,THE PANEL LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD WHEN FLASH WHEN I HAD SEATBELT ON. I HAD A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FIX THE MINOR THINGS. THE BATTERY CABLE WAS LOOSE AND THEY OILED THE JOINTS TO STOP THE SQUEAK. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS UNSAFE AND DEMAND I PAY HIM MONEY THAT IS ALREADY ABOVE THE PRICE OF THIS CAR. I AM PAYING $14,000 PLUS FOR A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP.THE DOOR ENTRY WILL NOT PROPERLY TAKE IN THE KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR.THE GAUGE METERS WERE DANCING BACK AND FORTH AND NOT PROPERLY READING THE FUEL.IT WAS A RENTAL CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT SO I HAD NO REAL HISTORY OF RECALLS OR MECHANICAL REPORTS. *LA

IT WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT (WHERE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MEETS THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR, THAT STRIP OF METAL) WHEN I PULLED SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT TO LEAVE THE LOT. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY FAST, THIS POLE WAS WITHIN 4' OF MY CAR, YET THIS APPROX 4" DIAMETER METAL POLE COMPLETELY CRUSHED THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FRAILTY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED A CAR'S OCCUPANTS. I'D LIKE CHEVY TO REPLACE THE BUMPER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY. IT'S BACK TO VOLVOS FOR THIS WOMAN. *AK
