Seven problems related to fuel pump have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Since I bought my 2001 chevy Blazer, I've had to replace ball joints everytime I have a front end alignment. This year I've replaced 3 wheel bearings, fuel pump, and I just lost my transmission. I've had the light recall fixed. My service engine light stays on, but you cannot put a computer to it because it doesn't work. My abs light comes and goes. Whats next?.
Car would not roll over. Mechanic told us that if it was a a fuel pump problem that it would eventually get worse. Turns out it was not a fuel pump, but the fuel pressure regulator that had to be replaced. Total bill of $381. 00.
Gas gauge futtering, engine service light car stalled gas pump went. Car only has 80k on it pump cost $600.
Vehicle stopped (at 9:30p. M. ) while I was turning a corner. No warning signs/lights/indicators. Mechanic told me the fuel pump had to be replaced. The first fuel pump obtained was defective and leaked. Mechanic just received another fuel pump - back ordered. I am a single mother of a teenager who is supposed to get her license next month. This is the only car we have. So, the consequences have been devastating financially, mentally, and emotionally. . . Now it is christmas eve and we still do not have the car back! the fact that there are other reports of this same dangerous problem with fuel pumps in chevy Blazers is quite disturbing. I have never had a problem like this with any other make of vehicle (Honda, Toyota, Oldsmobile, mercedesbenz) in the 30 years I've been driving! I have written to Chevrolet and am demanding reimbursement for parts and labor. Am selling vehicle in 2005 - will not have my teenager driving this car.
This complaint cover 2 occurrences, 1st Aug. 19,2002 & the latest of March 3, 2004. My daughter was driving on the freeway both time with her mother, when all of a sudden the engine stalls, and would not restart. Having towed it to the stewart dealership in colma, CA. It was found that the fuel pump had gone bad both times. The 1st occurrence at 32,090 miles, the 2nd at 66,442 miles. The dealership proceeded to tell me that the reason for the first failure, was that my daughter was driving too much with less than 1/2 tank of gas. The repair was made after a delay to get the part which was not in stock in California. Now this afternoon I was informed that the reason the fuel pump went out again was because the fuel filter was completely plugged up. This car was bought new from the same dealership- 03/01/01- now just barely 3 years old it is having it's third fuel pump on it. The fact that is occurrence has happened not just once but twice while driving on a freeway (luckily during day light hours both times).
Was traveling 45mph when vehicle suddenly died out. Had no prior warning. Was not able to restart vehicle. Had vehicle towed to mechanic. Fuel pump was replaced again for 2nd time.
