1997 Chevrolet Blazer lt review from North America
"What a LEMON ~ NEVER again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wow! My engine just went out at 119,000 miles! So there is at least $3600
U - Joint needs replacement
Wipers work only when you don't need them
Fuel pressure gauge went out
Power lumbar stuck on
Numerous electrical problems that are somehow probobly related!
Sticky speedometer cable on occasion
ignition module problems ~ replaced
$450 coolant leak
The key comes out of the ignition only when it wants to!
General comments?
I loved this blazer, I have only owned it for 2 years and it has given me the most problems I have ever had with a vehicle. And I took good care of it too ie: oil changes / regular maitinence like you are supposed to do. It has become the biggest money pit I have ever owned, now it is til' death do us part. I will never come out on a trade with it now. It is worth what, $4500, now I have got over $8000 into it ~ double what it is worth! Be very wary of this year, they may look pretty on the outside...
