2000 Chevrolet Blazer had ball joints replaced.
My Blazer now has 56,000 miles on it. I have discovered that it is in need of front end repair - specifically the ball joints are badly worn, the boots on the frond axle have a bad crack on the right side, and there is significant idler wear. In doing research, I have discovered that numerous Blazer owners have experienced similar problems. I feel this is a design defect. I have also had two other issues that I am now discovering are common problems with a great number of Blazers. Both front reclining seat handles have broken off. I am also experiencing problems with the doors seeming to not align properly - as if the welds or hinges are failing. These have also been mentioned repeatedly in your complain area for this model. I have not gotten these items repaired as of this date. The Blazer is now parked until I can afford to get it fixed.
My vehicle's front end has been giving me alot of front end problems. Bouncing & making a vibration noise . I brought it to the dealership & they tell me that I need ball joints and other suspension parts due to the ball joints being bad on my vehicle. I call around to other repair shops & they say that is a very common problem with Blazers costing the consumer hundreds of dollars in repairs. So, what is chevy going to do about it ? wait until a number of people get into accidents before they'll name it a recall ?.
Potential safety issue regarding the Chevrolet s10's and the Chevrolet s10 Blazers. The consumer had to have the ball joints on her 2000 Chevrolet Blazer replaced prematurely at 73000 miles.
