1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"I would never buy a Chevy again and GM needs to fix the problems they have created"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at 60,000.
Electrical in dash melted and started on fire.
Heat went out completely.
Door Hinges broke.
Handles on seats broke.
Steering column shorted out
Ball bearings broke.
Rattling in hood.
The back window has leaked when it rains or when I go to car washes.
Gas mileage was excellent when I purchased it, five months later, now it eats gas.
General comments?
The car is a money trap. You have to keep paying to fix it. There is always a problem with it. The Blazer is very unpredictable and not reliable. The dealer told us to bring it back in two years and we would break even with it. Now, I can't get rid of it. I am VERY upside down on the payments!! I just want to get rid of it. No one wants them!!!
GM dealerships won't even stand behind their work. They put in rebuilt transmissions instead of new transmission. They charge you an arm and a leg to get it fixed.
My husband has a Silverado truck and they were going to charge him $1,000 to replace a $100 part, which he did in 1 hour.
