1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

"High maintenance vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well let me start out with the fact that I love my Blazer and I try to take care of it the best that I can afford.

The first thing was I think the blower, well at least as far as I can tell, all I no is that the connection for the blower melted. I was able to purchase another one from a local Chevy dealer in the area for about $10.00.

I then drove it about 2800 mile trip up to my folks house. On the way my rear speakers started working only part time, then sometimes, then nothing. Don't get me wrong the stock CD player and 4 front speaker still sound plenty good, but still I like to get what I pay for, right. Then came the real shocker. As I was climbing the mountains of Tennessee it began to rain so I switched on the windshield wipers. Boy was I surprised to find out they didn't work. Got lucky and found a gas station used rain x took care of that problem and made it safely both ways. Even though I made it back that, could have been a real problem. You no what I mean?

Now only a month after I replaced the plug for the air conditioning blower. It melted again. Now I live in Southern Florida and if you have ever lived here it hardly ever gets cold. So the air gets a lot of use.

I have not had air for about 2 years now. They said it would cost me $360 to replace the blower. I no the blower works, but somethings wrong with it. Also something on the passenger side front is making noise. Haven't checked that out yet. Also the seals around both front doors are blown away and water pores in.

General comments?

My blazer is awesome to drive. If the air was fixed and could rely on the windshield wipers I would like it better. It handles well. It has plenty of space. Pretty good gas mileage. The engine is quick when you need it to be and purrs like a kitten the rest. You buy a vehicle like this plan on spending later.
