1992 Chevrolet Blazer S-10 review from North America
"Solid and reliable... if only it had power!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The anti-lock brake system died about 1 month after purchase. Since I didn't want to pay $900 for a new EHCU Computer, I've lived with the brake warning light on for the last 4 years (and no ABS).
U-Joints replaced. I've done a fair amount of 4-wheeling in the mountains, so this could likely be considered normal wear and tear.
Front door bushing and pin. At first I thought this was an anomaly when the driver's door bushings wore down and the door wouldn't close properly. However, the passenger's side door is now doing the same thing! A small nuisance, but very hard to fix without special tools.
Currently, I have a small electrical problem that I haven't yet diagnosed. The lights seem to "flutter" on the dash, dome, and headlights. This power fluctuation also causes the blower motor to "squeal."
General comments?
This vehicle has never had sufficient power. I find myself praying that I can get up to speed when entering an on-ramp for the Interstate.
However, (other than the ABS), the vehicle has been incredibly reliable! Very minor repairs. Starts every time and runs smoothly.
This vehicle is not a luxury ride. The seats are uncomfortable, and when the wind blows, you can feel it through the doors (all four!), but then again, it IS a 4-wheel drive SUV.
