1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"GM should have buried the Blazer years ago.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side seat handle broke - 48000 miles.
Both front wheel bearings went bad at 59000 miles.
Right front wheel bearing went bad at 67000 miles.
CV boots "slinging grease" (dealer quote). Also replaced at 67000 miles.
Grinding noise coming from front passenger side when making sharp right turns - 68000 miles.
General comments?
This S.U.V. is a lemon waiting to 'happen'.
Rickety, rough ride.
I cringe every time I have to stop at a gas pump.
4WD works good.
So many broad-sweeping problems and no GM recalls?!
Thank God my wife and I had the sense to buy an extended warranty.
