1993 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"I like this vehicle, I wish it was built a little better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have read the other reviews and I'm glad that I am not the only one with these problems.
I also had a problem with the EGR valve-twice! I just took it off and cleaned the carbon chunks out of it.
My fuel pump went up around 70,000 miles. That cost me about $700 to fix.
I have had the heater core replaced twice.
The remote oil filter gasket on engine blew out.
The air conditioning had to be charged last year and will need it again this year. It must be leaking somewhere.
I'm starting to have braking problems now. I don't think the braking power is as good as it used to be. I need to get it into shop. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced the same problem?
The bottoms of the doors are starting to rust a little bit.
I replaced the driver's power window motor. The other power windows are very slow.
General comments?
This truck has great power. I tow a small utility trailer with it and it does a great job. I just wish the rest of truck was as tough as the engine.
The truck is great in four wheel drive.
Truck handles good, easy to handle.
