1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

The driver's side window motor shorted out at 35000 miles, and has started developing the same type of problem at 95000 miles.

The seat adjusters have been replaced 4 times, twice per seat. They are currently broken now, I just refuse to replace them again.

The rear window leaks air and water. It has been repaired twice, and still has the same problem.

The dashboard is a plethora of electrical problems. The gauges have started to quit when driving, not all the time, seemingly at random intervals. The odometer comes on, then goes blank, then comes on again.

It seems to have the same problem with the wipers that all blazers do, sometimes they come on, sometimes they don't go off, sometimes they don't come on. Fortunately, I live in Texas, and it does not rain much.

I thought it would be a good entry level SUV for a second time car buyer. I have really had no major problems that keep it off the road, but it is the little annoyances that have really bothered me. Most of them are the electrical shorts that the dealer could not fix when the car was under warranty because the problem wasn't happening right then. The problems I have, I can live with, but the craftsmanship is poor, and I had hoped more from this product. I won't buy from GM again.
