2000 Chevrolet Blazer ZR-2 review from North America
"I'll never buy Chevrolet again, going back to Jeep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am meticulous about maintenance:
Mobil 1 Synthetic every 3K
All fluids flushed every spring&winter
In additional to routine maintenance.
*While under 100K extended warranty
Fuel Pump?Somewhere between 50K-75K?
(1st time I would ever say an extended warranty paid off)
*Items Not Covered Under Warranty
Both front seat recliners 2X (common issue-I agree with "who hasn't had this problem") and rear spare mount issues.
At 115K (out of warranty-$2,700 Later)
Upper/Lower ball joints (common issue)
Oil Coolant lines (common issue)
Transfer Case Seal
Power Steering Seal
Cracked Radiator (uncommon/plastic)
General comments?
My biggest complaints:
Fuel Economy did not match sticker
Average 14.5 MPG (I do a lot of hwy driving)
Snow Handling (due to large tires)
Why did I buy it? $30K tax, title, licence, down the road with 0% interest 60 months.
Would I buy it again? NO, I wished I'd spent the extra $5K on a Jeep.
