Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2000 blazer in 2002. i took my vehicle overseas in 2003. much to my surprise, the gas gauge stopped working properly one day in 2004 causing me to run out of gas on a major international interstate. i took it to the dealership when i came back to the states only to be told, that something was wrong with the fuel pump. not only that, the module also has to be replaced because the fuel pump and module comes as a unit and you cannot replace the fuel pump without replacing the module. i am being told i have to pay $950 to have this problem fixed. i know i am not the only one with a blazer who is having this problem. gm has failed time and time again to acknowledge this as a manufacturer problem and people are losing money because of it. if i have to pay $950 out of my pocket to fix this problem, this will be one unhappy, loyal customer gm has lost because i will make sure that no one i know ever purchases a gm vehicle again. *tr
