2000 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"I'm happy with the Blazer and will probably get another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight vibration at 55mph since new (it's not out-of-balance tires).
Driver's side seat tilt adjust broke off by itself while it wasn't being used. I just opened the driver's door one day and the metal handle was laying on the floor. Dealership fixed it under warranty with no cost to me.
Shut the tailgate by the portion of the interior that is raised up above the outer body panel and broke the interior panel. Dealership fixed under warranty with no cost to me.
6 speaker CD sound system. The door speakers are the bass producers. The sound quality deteriorated and the dealership refused to replace the speakers stating the "sound quality was what is to be expected from a GM Delco system".
The top of the front bumper is chrome. I started getting a little rust on it below the parking light housing.
Vibration you can feel in the seat got worse at 12,000 miles, but is most noticeable at 34mph now. Sometimes I feel it at 45mph and 55mph. It's been to the dealership twice and they can't figure it out. My Blazer is a 2-door, 2 wheel drive. The dealership has decided to replace the driveshaft and transmission rear tailshaft. They've already tried a new set of wheels and tires and the problem didn't go away. I will have to update this after my next service visit. This is being fixed under warranty at no cost to me.
General comments?
The engine has great power.
I get 19-20 mpg in the city with the air conditioning on!
I got 24-25 mpg on the highway maintaining speeds between 60 and 70 mph.
The interior is very quiet with all the windows shut.
Handles nice.
