1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"OK.. Would not buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First day driving off lot wheel bearing passenger side went out.
First week recliner knob broke off driver side.
Sixth month excessive front end wear. Was told by dealer that this vehicle goes through tires like water.
Eight month battery needed to be replaced.
At 1 year noticed that there was a rusty like substance in radiator. Dealer stated that this is normal and replaced radiator cap. Year after that I was getting cold air with heat on. Dealer told me that there was something wrong with anti freeze from dealer and would cost about $800.00 in repairs (all before 45K miles) No one would take responsibility even though it was documented a year prior. (no recall for this radiator thing, but there was a notice from GM on how to fix it)
More squeaks than Grandma Moses' house.
Rear window fluid hose got clogged. Dealer wanted $50.00 I fixed for nothing.
Oxidizing on Alum rims.
Driver door sagging.
Passenger vanity mirror flap fell off.
I just hit 51K. I baby this car and maintain it well (all documented) and put about 7K a year. unsat overall!!!
General comments?
Interior not bad a little small. Fabric holding up with minimum wear and tear. Paint still in good shape. Handling is OK for a 4X4. Gas mileage is OK about 200 miles city to a tank full and about 240 miles Highway. per tank full. (15 gal. tank). average about 13-18 mpg.
