1995 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Generally a good vehicle, but with no satisfaction from GM I cannot recommend it to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the most part I have been happy with this vehicle. My comfort factor however has dropped recently. At 120,000km the rear right axle disengaged from the differential. The wheel with the axle attached departed the vehicle allowing that corner of the truck to hit the ground. Fortunatley, I was only moving about 5km per hour at the time, otherwise a serious accident would have likely occured. The axle came close to hitting a pedestrian. GM Canada takes no interest in the problem whatsoever. Their customer service people say this is likely due to "normal wear & tear" and that their legal dept. feels they are safe from action. No sales person, mechanic or other person at the GM dealership or at any other garage I have spoken with has heard of such a problem happening. This seems to be a very rare case.
So, will I buy another GM product? Not likely. So much for customer loyalty!
