1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Never Will I buy a Blazer again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went out at 67000 Miles.
Severe coolant leak at 70000 Miles.
Intake gasket went out at 85000 miles.
Had to put in a new 4.3L motor when it broke down at 90000 Miles.
Noisy, lots of unidentifiable squeaks and creeks that drive me nuts.
General comments?
I've had this '99 for 2 years and have had to put over $4000 into it from break downs and Tow charges, I still owe around $6,800 on it so I can't just get rid of it yet. I used to have an old '89 S-10 Blazer that I had for 5 years and only had very minor repairs (less than $100 each) and one alternator go out. I could trust that '89 to drive me across the country. I don't trust this '99 to get me across town!
