1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"This is an over sized Yugo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 12 miles, after signing the papers, noticed spot weld dimples in the door.
Had to have hood insulator replaced at 6,000.
3rd brake light broke at 10,000.
New battery at 18,000 and 34,000.
Seat back handle on passenger seat broke off at 28,000 miles.
Replaced the alternator at 30,000 miles.
Had to have supplemental restraint system (Air Bag) repaired at 40,000 miles.
New water pump, heater core, and a/c compressor at 53,000.
General comments?
I bought this truck because I thought it would be a good family vehicle. After the $29,000 sticker and the 2,500 in a/c and cooling system repairs, this truck just gets more and more expensive.
The latest happening to it now at 54,000 is a ticking noise from one of the output shafts.
I will dump this truck at the next chance I get. This is way to much for me to pay.
I think this truck was built with all the parts that the manufacturer did not want to put into the other trucks.
