Nine problems related to fuel pump have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At 90,000 miles my fuel gage became erratic, chevy dealer says it's the fuel pump. At a cost of $800. 00 to fix I'll calculate my mileage and live with out it. Gm taking low bid on the fuel pump means I no longer buy gm products. Fix mine at no cost and you got me back. . . . . . . . . . . . . Maybe!.
I have purchased a 2000 chervolet Blazer, I have a faulty fuel pump gauge, one that will never tell you the right amount of gas. This lead me into running out of gas at a very uncivilized area, and it could have ended up being a wreck, if a emergency lane wasn't available. A few weeks later I learned that a entire fuel pump was needed to correct the problem. I researched this on the internet and from talked to other people with Blazers: they all have the same issues, gas problems, and I believe chevy is in fault here for producing a faulty fuel pump to thousands of owners. This part costs $400 to replace.
Ball joints upper and lower replaced at 40k and 100k miles. Will be needing to be replaced again very soon at 140k miles. The replacement at 40k was a total failure of passenger side ball joints to wit: vehicle was incapacitated as wheel was left 'bent'. Fuel gauge fluctuated wildly if less than 1/3 tank of gas. Fuel pump failed.
2000 chevy Blazer 4. 3l v6 76k miles 2 door the sending unit on the fuel pump has gone bad and is causing my gas gauge to give an incorrect reading. I must now use the trip odometer to guess when to put gas in my truck. From research I've done this a very common problem with Blazers of this year. Gm should offer a recall for this $600+ job also replaced the upper & lower ball joints, idler arm and both wheel bearings in the past month. Seat recline lever on passenger side has also snapped off and rear washer fluid sprayer no long works. I've owned 4 other chevy/GMC vehicles and had to replace the fuel pump in 3 of them. I will very much consider these issues and how gm handles this most recent one when I go to buy a new truck next year.
Sending unit/fuel pump broke so my gas gauge doesn't work properly. Gas gauge works from full to half a tank of fuel. From half to empty the gauge doesn't move. I just want to see if others are having the same problems. Running out of gas could be dangerous.
2000 Blazer started surging. After several months of surging, one day car would not accelerate on highway and a few minutes later it stalled. It restarted but after several blocks, it stalled again. This kept happening. Car was towed by aaa 67 miles to my dealer. Dealer could not find anything wrong but thinks it is probably the fuel pump. Car is still surging. After 1. 5 months car stalled again while idling in a line of cars. It restarted after some difficulty. I then took it to another Chevrolet dealer. Again they couldn't find a problem. Said they couldn't do anything until something showed up on the computer or car completely dies and won't restart. So I don't feel safe driving the car since I don't know when it might shut down on me in a dangerous situation.
Car died while driving, condition occurred 5 times usually when engine cool. Technician said they found fuel pump to be shorted out and replaced it.
The fuel pump needed to be replaced on my 2000 chevy Blazer because the sending unit was corroded, also the handle on the side of the drivers seat broke off when I used it.
Fuel pump provides low fuel pressure, causing vehicle to have no acceleration. Asif it were trying to take off in third gear.
