1996 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America

"A total waste of metal"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First, when I bought it, the engine hesitated in-between 3,000 and 4,000 RPM's. The left front inner brake pad wore down completely while the outer pad was fine, which caused the caliper to overextend, causing me to have to replace the caliper. The radiator cracked, and the water pump went out. During the same time, the alternator went out. Currently, there is a new alternator on it, and I have no power to anything in the truck at all.

General comments?

This total disappointment of a vehicle makes me want to rethink my fandom of GM and Chevrolet. 90 percent of the vehicles I have owned have been Chevrolet, and have had very few problems out of them. I never had this many problems out of the 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier that I had with almost 200,000 miles on it. I would advise anyone considering purchasing an SUV to turn tail and run away from the Chevy Blazer. It is nothing, but a hassle, and from what I have read on this website, I am not the only one who feels this way. Sorry Chevrolet, but you struck out with this lemon.
