1998 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Very reliable until high mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Let's see. The car has 130k on it, and in the last 15k miles I have replaced the upper ball joints, lower ball joints, front wheel bearings, rear wheel bearings, fuel pump, brake pads, rotors, drivers half shaft, drivers door pins and fuel pump.
The passenger seat handle was broken when I bought the car, but I failed to notice it until too late.
I bought it with 48k on it and the vehicle has been extremely reliable up until 115k. It loses power once it warms up. That is being diagnosed now.
General comments?
Great vehicle until you start getting over 100k; then everything seems to fall apart at once.
