1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Recurring problems plague Blazer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airbag light won't go off in spite of airbag being replaced.
Cruise control light won't go on, even if in cruise control mode on highway.
Had to replace transmission at 100,000 mile mark.
Seat handle on front seat broken off due to normal use.
Now air conditioning has gone out, need new air compressor.
Windshield wipers have a mind of their own; never seem to work when it's raining.
General comments?
This is a comfortable vehicle, but a lot of things seem to keep going wrong with it. I bought it because I never had any problems whatsoever with my S10 that I had previously.
