TRANSMISSION SLIPS, 38KMILES ON MY 2000 BLAZER, OUT OF WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER'S MECHANIC SAID HE HAS REPLACED A VALVE ON THE TRANSMISSION OF FOUR 2000 BLAZERS SO FAR THIS YEAR. I WILL MAKE NUMBER FIVE - QUOTED COST OF $850. SERVICE CENTER WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. READ SEVERAL REPORTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES SIMILAR TO MINE ON 2000 BLAZERS AND S-10S. WHY NO RECALL? IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY AM I NOT COVERRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY?!!

REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AT 60,000 MILES. LOTS OF ROAD NOISE AND "HUM" VIBRATION COMING FROM FRONT END FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES, THEN IT GOT REAL BAD WHEN TURN STEERING WHEEL TO LEFT. SMALL TIME MECHANIC HAS REPLACED BEARINGS ON 12 BLAZERS OVER THE COURSE OF 6 MONTHS. ONE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MANY BLAZERS HAVE BEEN IN TO REPLACE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ANYWHERE FROM 30-80000 MILE. MECHANIC THINKS IT'S CAUSED BY LACK OF ADEQUATE GROUNDING FOR THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. *LA

ACCELERATION PEDAL HARD TO PUSH, ACTS LIKE IT STICKS. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP WHICH CAUSED THE STICKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD THIS CLEANED. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER, HE SAID THIS WAS VERY COMMON WITH THE 4.3 V6 ENGINES. DEALER RECOMMENDED ADDING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER TO STOP THE BUILD UP OF CARBON. I HAD BEEN DOING THAT. SEEMS LIKE IT LESSENED THE BUILD UP BUT DID NOT PREVENT IT. I SUPPOSE THIS IS GOING TO BE NORMAL MAINTENANCE, SIMILAR TO AN OIL CHANGE. I HAVE HAD OTHER …
