Faults:

I have a 2000 Chevy S-10 Blazer. I've owned the Blazer for about a year or two. These are my problems:

Bought the car with 58,000 miles.

Both front door hinges needed to be replaced on both sides, and the sensor for the auto headlights was bad.

The A/C also needed fixing, so the dealer took care of all the problems before I signed the papers.

Right after I got the Blazer, the fuel sending unit stopped working, which the dealer fixed free of charge to me.

Then around 62k miles, the intake gasket started leaking and needed to be replaced; this I fixed myself for around $100.

Around 70k-75k miles I had the transmission rebuilt; that cost me $1,800.

Around 83,000 miles I replaced the leaky heater core; that cost me $130 for the parts and 12 hours of my time to replace it; this was bad timing because the next day I was going to take it on a long trip.

Now at 88,000 miles, I have replaced both upper and lower ball joints on both the left and right side; this fix cost me around $200. Also at this mileage, I replaced the air pump, which was $130.

Other problems; my roof rack was peeling.

Last Blazer for me.

General Comments:

I love to drive the Blazer when I'm not fixing it, but lately doesn't seem like I'm driving it very much. It will be the last time I buy a Blazer, and trust me, I will look up more about the next car before I buy it.

All these problems; I had every one. Something keeps telling me that is a common problem with the Blazer.

Faults:

I had to replace the fuel pump at 3,000 miles of owning it.

General Comments:

My 2000 S10 Blazer is great; it's always ran good.

For a 4x4 it handles the curves great.

Not so great on gas mileage; I'm getting around 14 or 15 miles to the gallon.

Faults:

Front Passenger Wheel Hub/Bearings replaced twice.

Rear Differential Problems (not fixed yet)

Alternator/Battery issues after 100,000 miles, and have not stopped occurring.

Rear Hatch creaks loudly (started after 80,000 miles)

Both doors creak (since purchased used)

Visor mirror covers broken after first year of my possession (did not use them frequently)

Change (quarters/dime/nickel) holder broken last month.

Center Pieces for rims (with the Chevy symbol) had to all be replaced (and will need to be replaced again shortly, I can already see they are loose)

Rear window washing fluid started leaking (I disconnected it and have never used it since; not too important)

Gas Gauge stopped working at 70,000.

Dash board lights on the radio, 2w/4w/4w low buttons, and the some of the center console have stopped working.

Heat and Air Conditioning do not work right now (could be an easy fix, but I have heard it can be pretty expensive)

General Comments:

I have fallen in and out of love with my 200 Chevy Blazer.

I owned a 1986 s-10 Blazer and loved it. It lasted until 260,000 miles and still had plenty of life (although the engine was rebuilt once, the transmission kept on ticking)

My current blazer is awesome. I have had to put a great deal of effort into it, but it is worth it. My main concern right now is the rear differential. I was told the issues I have had with the Wheel hubs/bearings are caused from it. I will need to fix that before replacing parts again.

Currently, at 130,000 miles, I am starting to get a lot of hesitation when I apply to much effort to the gas (for example, when I am trying to pass someone, or leave a red light). I guess I'll just have to start treating it like an old truck.

All in all, I love my truck. I probably wouldn't buy another Chevy right away... unless I research and find a car without re-occurring issues.
