2000 Chevrolet Blazer consumer reviews

This vehicle did very well for us. it was used mostly by my wife for traveling to work. She put approximately 25000 thousand miles a year on it. Vehicle had around 42000 miles on it when we bought it, needless to say she was not very happy when engine failed at 301,000 miles. She really liked vehicle as it did well in snow. Original transmission and engine.

I can honestly say that my 2004 chevrolet blazer ls 2wd is the most reliable and trust worthy vehicle i have owned since my first truck(81c10 i built up)! I live in a swampy terrain area so i put some decent a high way a/t tires on it and i have put my blazer thru situations as to where my 4x4 buddy wouldnt go cause he was scared of what he had but it has tackled every single obstical i personally thrown at it! Ive had alot of good drunken times ridin down some trail or finding a little donut spot and bustin a few dirt rings with your sport utility vehicle. I have 175000 mile on it i got it when it had abt 85000 and shortly after i purchased the fuel pump went out i replaced that along with its wiring head ache but other then that i have had no issues out of this vehicle. After my good times in the woods its always started in the cold morning to get me to work and my wife drove it for abt 9 months when her car got hit its been ole reliable they say all manufacturers make well made vehicles but they also make garbage vehicles. The one i purchased turned in my favor and turned out to be a excellent made vehicle. Suspention probably last abt 135000 with riding out in mud and sand and donuts and playing around till wheel bearings and ball joints and everything else bushing wise needs replacing but thats what happens when u wanna play hahaha. Regular maitnance and she purrs u take care of it and it will take care of u my abs brake control module went bad on me abt a yr ago and i took the fuse for it out so no power brakes and abs and parking brake lights and o2 sensors are throwing a service engine soon light other. Little simple things that are not necessarily needed gave out. I love my blazer

I bought my used 2000 Blazer LT as a secondary vehicle for winter (I also own a 2002 Monte Carlo SS), and I love it. It had 126,000 miles on it last year, and so far I have added another 10,000 miles of my own, The Blazer runs beautifully as a truck with a relatively stiff, not floaty, suspension, which I prefer. I also love that it has an Auto 4WD setting which drives in 2WD until slippage is detected for which it then switches to 4WD. I highly recommend this truck if one be found in good mechanical condition like mine.

I got caught in a bad snowstorm, the truck spun 5 times in the middle of the road. Then, I realized that I had 2wd on instead of 4x4. Stomped on the brakes and switched to 4x4 and stayed in my lane to the way home! Why don't they continue this model!

It is ski season once again in WA and so I wanted to get a 4x4 to run up and down the mtn. After researching various makes and models, and with an eye towards this being a seasonal rig for playing in suboptimal conditions, I opted for the Blazer. It is roomy without being a land yacht and with the luggage rack can carry all the outdoor gear needed by 5 adult snow goers. This truck has already plowed through three foot drifts in the passes with power to spare. It has gotten off road and maneuvered easily through treacherous terrain. It's 4WD play is superb and I have become exceedingly confident it will get me thru even the most harrowing trail conditions. This isn't the most glamorous rig out there but I didn't get it for the Junior Prom!

It is the 2000 Chevy Blazer LS 4x4 model. Got the cloth seats, 4 door, temp and directions heads up display, power windows, locks, liftgate hatch, heated mirrors, ect. The heat and air in mine are AMAZING! I tested them both. The 4x4 worked great when I turned it on and drove through 11 inches of snow (haha). Speakers are in good place to hear everything. The only defect mine has is a line of surface rust about an inch long, but that will be coated with the rust proof stuff and putting fender flairs on. The hoods clear coat is also peeling, but I'm either going to buy a new hood or re clear coat it! And guess what, mine has 297,506 miles on it. It doesn't ride or drive like that whatsoever! Amazing blazer and when I trade it in, in 2 years, i'll probably go with a newer blazer, trail blazer, their twins (Envoy, Jimmy, Bravada, ect) or the amazing 2 door sports coupes that my mother has had 2 of, the Monte Carlo SS's. I'd buy another one! Amazing! My brother is already wanting to trade me his 2002 Pontiac Sunfire.. NOT! I love my blazer and when ir's ready to go... i might, just might sell it to him!

During the time I owned it (~ 11.5 years) I replaced brake lines, intake manifold, transmission (at ~ 55k miles), fuel lines due to a leak, and the alternator at least twice. The seat back adjustment handles broke off both front seats, the fuel level indicator stopped working after a couple of years so I had to estimate how much fuel was in the vehicle by how far my trip meter had advanced. The rear wiper stopped working and the rear defroster cable also kept detaching from the rear window. The rear window washer line broke at some point, spraying fluid all over the cargo area. The last straw with the vehicle was when a vent module near the gas tank died and caused every gas pump to stop pumping because of too much back pressure, It would literally take me 10 minutes to put three gallons in the vehicle. The intake manifold death was caused by a poorly designed radiator cap which would deteriorate and let air into the cooling system. When this occurred, the coolant would become corrosive and eat the intake manifold gasket. I traded it in just a week ago with very slightly over 100,000 miles on the odometer and was happy to get ~10% of what I paid for it in 2000. The interior was nice, the seats were comfortable and it had lots of room in the cargo space.

This vehicle was the most reliable and economical car that I have owned in my life and I have owned many foreign cars. You can't beat it.

I Have The 4.3 To 300HP It Gets 32MPG HWY. I Was Delighted To See No Smog Pump. And Tubing Junk On It! Yay!

I bought my 2dr rwd blazer when i was 16. ive had it since then too. but at a price. in the auto field most techs call them blazer kits. most have numerous problems, esp with the cooling system. so far ive replaced the water pump upper and lower intake gasket, thermostat, the radiator, pitman arm and steering linkage, door pins, and a ball joint. as far as saftey goes ive had a wheel fall down on me and was ok. pushed into a wall on the freeway and was ok. moved a 700 lbs snowplow on accident and the truck was pretty much unscathed. performace wise, i dog mine everyday. the pedal is always on the floor and im happy with it esp since its a bulky suv with a V6. my parking brake pedal is stuck on so i disconnected the cables and the seat belt warning light stays on even though i wear it so i taped over the light. replacing head and tail lamps are cake, and you rarely need to jack it up to work on it. i only do for the brakes. ive changed to trans fluid and filter several times with no problems, as well as engine lube and filter. good car if you know how to take care of them, but for the mechanically impared i would advise looking into something else because every blazer ive seen has had its fair share of problems. the inside is nice, nothing flashy just cloth and plastic in mine. they are easy to upgrade. rims, engine, stereo, what ever you want. PROS- performace and durabilty. i drove from tenn to ohio in three feet of snow on valentines day with 0 problems. they look pretty good if you take care of it. and working on them is easy CONS, YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK ON IT. thats it. if you have now qualms on getting your hands dirty or paying someone else to. then its a pretty good and cheap car to get.
