1997 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Junk at the Beginning, Junk in the Middle, and no worse for wear at the end still JUNK!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Anything you can think of.. Radiator replaced due to that cool DexCool. Leaking still all the time, transmission serviced, ac compressor went out like 2 months after I bought it. Rear Wiper doesn't work, wiper fluid container leaks all the fluid out. Had a tune up at 100,000 miles new wires plugs, cap, rotor, etc. No better gas mileage than the old stuff! Always a leak on this vehicle somewhere. ABS computer went out, cost 800 bucks just to pass an emissions test!
General comments?
This has to be the biggest piece of crap that I have ever seen in my life! I have had this car for 6 years and I think that I could have bought 2 new cars for the price that I have to keep pumping dollars into this one EVERY YEAR. I am seriously dissapointed with a GM vehicle especially since I had to trade in my toyota truck to get it in which I never sank a dollar into in 5 years other than changing the oil, bought it when I was 18 and didn't even know how to check the coolant *LOL* I cannot wait to get rid of this piece of crap!!!
