Fuel pump problems repeatedly, to find out that the wiring harness on the fuel pump at the gas tank was shorting out.

We have replaced the fuel pump 3 times. It has caused us to miss work several days, and put our jobs at risk. We have been out money for towing, parts and labor twice. The third time it failed, it was just past the parts warranty for a grand total of $1950. 00. We have to continue to take it back to firestone to be replaced and make our lives miserable.

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?.

Fuel pump cut off when it is hot while driving.

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.

The contact complained about multiple problems. While driving at 40 mph on a damp road the driver's side wheel came off. He was able to steer the vehicle safely to the curb. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic, who replaced the upper ball joint on the driver's side and realigned the wheels. Later, he heard a grinding noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The mechanic determined that the other ball joints needed to be replaced. However, they have not been replaced. Also, the windshield fogged up. The mechanic stated the heater core broke and the coolant was leaking. The heater core was replaced. N addition, the vehicle had problems starting. The mechanic had to replace the fuel pump and fuel injector. The starting problem has not returned.

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.

On September 5, 2004, my husband, mother, 8 year old son, 4 year old daughter, and 1 year old son, were stranded in the emergency lane on I-66 east in fairfax county, va with a broken fuel pump. While waiting for a tow truck they were hit by a drunk driver who was traveling at approximately 100 mph. The Blazer flipped onto its side and skidded a great distance, before finally coming to rest upside down. My 4 year old daughter was seriously injured when the back seat, and the front seat broke and sandwiched her in between the two. She broke her jaw when she was slammed into the small handle above the rear right passenger side door. She also suffered a broken wrist and broken arm when she was thrown into the door. When the back seat broke it caused her to hit the headset of the broken front seat which in turn caused some of her teeth to go through her bottom lip. My mother who was sitting in the front passenger seat was injured when the roof did not hold up in the crash and suffered thankfully what was classified as "minor" injuries, but could have very well been major injuries because the entire right side from front to back did not hold up in the accident. I do have many pictures of what was left of my Blazer, from many different angles both inside and out. I am deeply troubled by the fact that both seats broke, and the roof did not hold up at all. My 8 year sitting in the rear center seat had a laceration and concussion, my 1 year old sitting in the rear drivers side seat had no injuries, and my husband in the drivers seat suffered minor head and shoulder injuries. Granted this could have been much worse, but I expected a lot more out of the Blazer than what actually happened.

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.

While driving 45 mph vehicle stalled. This caused consumer to drift to the side of the road. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the fuel pump failed. Mechanic will replace the fuel pump.

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).

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.

Dealer stated on 9/26/200 that fuel pump was faulty. Replaced this. . . Auto still did not work. Dealer stated maybe a faulty fuel pump was sent, ordered a 2nd, put this one in. Again, auto did not run. After the 1st one was installed, vehicle was released to me, 1. 5 hours later, I was again stranded. Dealership said it was a cpi, something within the fuel injector system. That was replaced. It wasn't the problem. They finally stated it was 3 injectors within this unit. Those were replaced and my vehicle returned to me. Auto was in the shop from 9/26/2000 until 10/10/2000. On 10/12/2000, on route 33 westbound, my accerlerator stuck, my brakes did not work, vehicle was doing 95 mph. I gained control of vehicle and got it stopped. It was towed from logan, ohio to columbus where I leased it from. As of right now, it's driveable, but not fixed. The dealership did secure the cruise control cable away from accerlerator so that I could drive it. I had to pay for a rental from 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. They refused to give me a loner car or rental from them. I am still afraid to drive this, I've had too much bad luck the last few weeks with it. I'm fighting with gm to be reimbursed for the rental, total amount is $533. I would like to get out of this lease, have my lease transferred to something else. As far as I know, there are no recalls on the 1999 Chevrolet Blazers, but I would like to know if there is any. It just seems its falling apart on me!!.
