1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Lowest Quality imaginable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most notably the wheel bearings went after 85,000 miles on both sides costing upwards of a grand to fix when you factor in that the The ball joints went at almost the same time as well.
The usual broken seat handle and rear wiper that never works.
The brand new wheel bearing that I just replaced with a genuine GM product, decided to go again after about a year and 20,000 miles. (Must be that extra special batch)
General comments?
It looks like everybody is catching on now because when I went to sell the vehicle I could not get any calls on it after advertising for 10 months. I let a 5 year old Blazer in great condition go for $4,000 because that's all anybody will pay for the rolling junk piles. They seem to be approaching the depreciation value of the Lincolns, you know the cars you pay 40k for, then 3 years later their worth $7k?. That's what GM's reduced this vehicle to.
