2000 Chevrolet Blazer engine problems

The handle that allows you to recline the seat broke off flushed with the seat, this happened to both the driver and passenger seats in june 2005. The hood will not pop up when the lever was pulled until one banged on the grill or the hood in certain spots, which just started in march of 2007. The gas mileage dropped from 20 mpg to 16 mpg within 6 months. The back glass stuck and was hard to open, started in 2006.

Accelerator sticking. From standing start, accelerators pedal requires considerable pressure to move from resting position. As pedal is depressed, vehicle jumps forward before operator can remove pressure. Complaints to dealer resulted in the estimate of a $100.00 charge to clean carbon from throttle body and apply a chemical treatment to help prevent further sticking. This should not be a maintenance item as it could result in uncontrolled acceleration, possible loss of control, and accident.
