1997 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"I'd be better off walking!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My rear seatbelt would not latch and I had to replace the entire seat (apparently it's all one part)
Gas gage wouldn't register under a half of a tank and I had to get the entire gas tank replaced.
The rear wiper decided to stop working however, the motor for the wiper kept running.
My front wipers work only when they want to. The best is that sometimes they work when I have them turned off.
I have a leak in my power steering pump that apparently requires replacing the entire pump.
I have a coolant leak that has not been pinpointed yet. Hopefully it's just a hose, but the way things are going with this truck, I doubt it.
Now the truck has starting stalling - when stopped, slowing down or even driving down the highway - - this is very scary especially because this is accompanied by many flashing lights and hard slips in the transmission.
I won't get into all of the little annoyances in this truck such as the constant squeaks and squeals or the fact that every piece of plastic in the truck is falling off.
Good Luck to anyone who decides purchase this truck!!
General comments?
I have only had this truck for about five months and I can definitely say that this is the WORST vehicle I have ever owned. I'm now working on trying to get rid of it before I get killed with repair bills.
