1997 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Can't fix some problems, but it's not a vette"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad brake booster.
Heat doesn't work.
Rusty transmission dip stick.
Tainted transmission oil due to stick fault.
Broken seat recliner handle.
Faulty solenoid in automatic key release inside steering column.
Can't move automatic shifter out of park if engine is not started.
General comments?
Not worse than the other variety of vehicles, but this one has more torque and more options, so more expense was expected.
I do like the interior; I feel like a captain.
I was disappointed on the seat handle falling off in my hands since my ownership.
Brakes are not so responsive, and need to be replaced often if driven.
SUVs flip, so once you get used to the heavy suspension putting force on the front brakes, they last longer.
