2001 Chevrolet Blazer Reviews - Page 3 of 13

Ball joints were an issue; replaced uppers and lowers 2x.

Original fuel pump lasted 120,000 miles.

Am sitting in a bookstore waiting for the fuel filter to be replaced, lasted 130,000 miles.

Very few issues.

I have been the sole owner of this car for all but 300 miles (delivery miles from NY dealer). I love it. I read these other reviews, and think maybe I got lucky, but however you look at it, I love this car.

Fuel consumption is the major issue.

Off road, it has been great. Harsh winters back east, and in the Grand Canyon National Park where I live now - the Blazer handles snow beautifully.

It has been a completely reliable vehicle for me, and the service I have received from the 2 Chevy dealers I use has been second to none. I take good care of her, but also have driven her fairly hard (got it when I was 20).

I have very few complaints, and would consider buying another... perhaps converting it to bio diesel...

When I bought the Blazer, I thought it was pretty sweet, nice 4x4 that looked good. But up till now, the Blazer has had way too many problems that happened to it for the low km.

So far I've had problems with a heater core, mass air flow sensor, wheel bearings, ball joints, fuel pump. I do most of my own work on it, and GM designs suck for doing maintenance. High labour cost. Also the rear tire unlatches by itself occasionally.

Replaced brake pads, turned rotors and new front calipers.

New tires.

Four wheel alignment.

Replaced leaking oil line.

Replaced fuel sending unit.

Replaced catalytic converter.

Replaced O2 sensors.

Cruise control does not work.

Big money pit. Bought to tow 2700lb camper, but feels like I am towing a semi. Has no power up hills. Blazer loves gas stations. Likes to visit them twice a week!

I am not spending anymore money on this hunk of junk. If I had not spent all of my money on repairs, I would have used the cash for clunkers program. This is a true clunker!

Nothing serious, like the driver's window wasn't working like 2 times. Has been serviced so is now working properly.

Seats have started to tear off (probably because they are assembled in Indonesia).

Air conditioner has been serviced many times, and yet, it is still working like a fan =(

This heavy car with almost a ton in weight. Runs pretty good.

However, it comes with only 2000cc DOHC in my home country. I found it is not fast enough even when compared to a Toyota Kijang, which has only 1800cc.

Also, the air conditioner is not cold enough like any, which is pretty crucial in tropical countries like mine.

Nevertheless, the cabin interior is good. There is wood panel for the dashboard, leather seats, and navigation devices (sort like a compass and surrounding temperature).
