Front Seat Recliner problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer

Both front seats the recliner assembly has broken off in spring of 2006. Currently not repaired. Now in February of 2008 the heater core has gone bad for the second time. First replaced in summer 2005 and currently about to be replaced again.

On both front seats,the handles to adjust the upright position have broken completely off of the seats.

The driver's seat back adjustment lever broke off at the rod connecting it. , no adjusting could be done. The part was repaired, and a new handle had to be ordered, because Chevrolet decidedr rod, made out of a heavier metal, which wouldn't fit the old lever. The resulting charges were $76. 35 for the recliner, $8. 37 for the handle, and $86. 40 for labor. There are just over 59,000 mi. On this 2000 Blazer.

While traveling 20 mph and sitting at intersection consumer adjusted the driver's side seat and seat lever sheared off. The seat failed to move back and forth on its own. Consumer drive vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the seat lever needed to be replaced. However, warranty expired. Consumer had to pay for parts and labor.

Numerous problems. All after warranty expired. Have a 2000 Chevrolet s10 Blazer 2 dr. It is a 4x4 with a 4. 3l v6. Seat handles broke a couple of times. Terrible lifespan on those. Had replaced twice. Replaced defective alternator. Wasn't holding charge. Also led to a new battery and serpentine belt. Had to replace fuses for fuel gauge. It was jumping all over the place giving incorrect readings. Had to replace numerous fuses. Terrible whining coming from the fuel pump. Chevy dealer tells me it is testing fine. But now I am having what seems like vapor lock problems on hot days. I'll go to accelerate and the vehicle will go no where and then catch and accelerate. Acts like it's going to die but hasn't yet. Diagnostics showed nothing. Terribly sporatic and makes vehicle unsafe and unreliable. It has 60,000 miles on it now. Ongoing problem to this day and I'm trying to determine if the lack of acceleration is the pump or another problem. Pedal not sticking like it was a throttle linkage. Rear windshield pump does not work. Chevy rim caps keep breaking and coming off. $30 dollars apprx. For each one and have had to replace all four at least once.

The drivers side front assembly recliner broke when I attempted to use it for the first time. This is an obvious safety defect by reading all the complaints filed on this very issue. Why no recall?.

The lever on the front drivers and passenger seats that reclines the seats back. They snap right off. They have replaced one at cost now both are broke. The bad thing is it happened to me out of town and I had to find some pillows to prop me up enough to drive. Now I have to use pliers. But this can happen if you try to recline a little back while driving and may go all the way back and you can't get it back up.

I have a 2000 chevy Blazer with 44,000 miles. Since the warranty expired in July I have had numerous problems that seem to be common among owns of this type of vehicle. Gm refuses to address these items since the car is just out of warranty. Some I consider to be safety issues. They are as follows: accelerator pedal sticks, seat recliner handle is broken, fuel gauge does not work properly and 4 wheel drive will not engage. For a vehicle that is just over 3. 5 years old this is unacceptable. I will probably not purchase another gm vehicle due to these problems and will probably purchase a european auto, their engineering and customer service are far superior to our us automakers.

Seat adjustment handle broke off driver's seat. This is a very expensive repair, and have found out that there a alot of these breaking. I think Chevrolet should make this into a recall so their customers do not have to pay for their mistakes. None is perfect, but at least they could make the effort to fix them, and not make the customer do so.

The passenger side seat will not lock into place, causing the seat to slide forward while the vehicle is in operation. The passenger seat lever also broke off while attempting to adjust the recline position of the seat back. Dealer is repairing both problems with a cost of over $600. 00.

Seat handles are broken again. Resulting a reclining driver seat. Seat handles broke under warranty and was replaced, so this is the second time on my Blazer, 2000 model. Gm needs to redesign these handles because someone could get into a accident.

Seat reclining adjust handles on driver and passenger seats broke off. They were not heavely used.

I just purchased a certified used Blazer in July of 2003. It was in for its scheduled maintenance and while there the technician snapped off the driver's side seat adjustment handle, which my dealer later replaced. Not two weeks later the passenger side handle snapped off as well. My dealer will not replace the passenger side without charging me for parts and labor. I feel that this is a manufactured defect. I have researched this subject and have found many other unhappy consumers like myself regarding this issue.

The seat recliner on the drivers side broke. After fixing, the seat then squeaked and rattled. Dealership saaid I have a broken seat frame. Dealership won't pay for damanges. This is the second general motors vehicle that has a broken seat recliner. The first one was a 98 GMC jimmy. Same thing happened.

Driver seat reclining handle brock off.

Plastic lever to recline passenger seat broke off.

The metal part of the driver's side seat recliner broke while trying to adjust the seat.

Consumer advised that the driver' seat recliner handle has broken three times. When the handle breaks, consumer is unable to properly adjust seating position. Ts.

Consumer states that the seat latch handle has broke off and is unable to sit seat in proper position.

1-recline handles on the front seats 2-back wiper don't work 3-window cleaner leaks on the rear window 4-replaced front suspension lower and/or upper ball joints twice in 1 year (mechanic told me that they see this all the time) 5-rear window latch won't open.

Driver and passenger seat recliner handle broke off within two days of each other. Can not adjust seat back to proper/safe driving position. Seat continues to recline backwards making it un-safe to drive. Contacted dealer while under warranty. They would not fix without charges. Have found numerous defects on this condition posted on the bullitin boards and provided the dealer with this and they still would not fix the problems without charging me. I should not have to pay to get this fixed when there is an apparent defect in this product. Dt.

Seat handle/adjuster snapped off while trying to adjust seat. It had been difficult to use ever since I got it, and very rarely could I actually get the seat to recline. I have never experienced a problem such as this ever before in any of my other vehicles, and it is extremely frustrating that I can't get a straight answer from anyone about this.

Driver's seat failed to lock in place. Would move whenever braking or accelerating. Taken to dealer, and informed by mechanic a bolt in seat had come loose, and it would need to be retightened.

I had the front recliner fixed and at a later date had the passenger side front recliner fixed. Now 22 months later the driver side front recliner is broken again. I am not rough with my seats and I think that this is rediculous that these keep breaking. The cost to get these fixed is around 140. 00 each. I don't think that I will ever buy another chevy product again. I don't beleive that this should be something that I should have to fix every 2 years.
