1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Blazer Many Problems Big Head Ache"
What things have gone wrong with the car?

Current problems in need or repair Rear wiper motor stopped working. Oil lines are leaking and need replaced. U-joints are making noise and need to be checked.
General comments?
I wanted a Blazer for a long time I finally bought one and it has cost me more in repairs than another other vehicle I have ever owned. The engine has plenty of power and the four wheel drive gets me where I need to go even in the worst of weather. I would not recommend buying one however. Unless you enjoy having your SUV in the shop more than it is in your garage.
