1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

"I will NEVER buy another Chevy"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Before I even got the car home the alternator went out. Had that replaced along with the serpentine belt.

5 months later I had to replace the front driver side wheel bearings because they went out.

4 months after that I had to replace the passenger front wheel bearing because they went out. I was also told at the time I needed a pitman arm, rear rotors and new ball joints.

One month after that it was time to get a new fuel pump because that was going. at this time I was told I had a problem with some little flap that controls the transmission fluid.

Now, only 11 months into owning the car, I am now having transmission problems. After getting off of the highway my transmission jerks quite strangely from 1st to 2nd gear. It only does this when I get off the highway.

I also have noticed the problem of rust forming along the bottoms of the doors.

My seat handle on the driver seat broke off one day unexpectedly.

General comments?

I never trusted Chevy in the first place. I needed a car at the time and this was the only thing I could get so I wanted to give Chevy the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe they had gotten their act together.

I will never buy another Chevy.
