2000 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

All the items below are immediately AFTER the warranty, hmmmm.

Both front wheel bearings needed replaced at 50000 miles. $850. They cut me a deal since they had another blazer getting the same service.

Headlights would not come on. Dealership had for three days Body control module and 8 hours labor to pull dashboard and replace other components. $600.

4 wheel drive failed. $1000.

The driver door sags. No cost on this yet.

Transmission problems. Shifts very hard 1st to 2nd gear. Still getting the estimate on this one.

All remote oil filter lines. $450.

Ball joints, tie rods, numerous brake rebuilds within 20000 miles, lost count of the cost.

Seat recline levers broke off. Not replaced yet.

Then there's the stuff that was fixed under warranty.

Over a dozen service visits, ignition module, ball joints (again), all four rotors (Pitted at 2000 miles), steering column locked up (fun time with that one), differential leaks, it just goes on.

This is the last GM product I will ever buy. I've owned GM products for the last 25 years and the problems have gone from minor - do it yourself- problems to major big $ problems that an average guy can't repair.

I can't in good faith unload this lemmon on someone so I plan on trading it (at a major loss) to get another Toyota. The Toyota by the way has 145000 miles and has yet to give me any problems.
