1995 Chevrolet Blazer LE review from North America
"Nice vehicle, but don't be surprised by the maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cruise Switch.
4X4 Actuator and new push button.
Alternator.
Water Pump.
Brake Light bar on back window.
A/C pressure switch.
Power Window Motor in drivers door.
Door Handle on outside of drivers door.
EGR Valve is the biggest pain, It keeps plugging with carbon.
The transmission was replaced before I bought the vehicle.
I figured these things would come up after 100000 miles. I do most of my work myself so I may save some money. I've noticed some people here saying that their cost for maintenance at a dealership always run $1000 dollars min. I think those people should find different mechanics. All in all if you take care of it from the beginning it will hold up.
General comments?
I love my Blazer!
