2000 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Great value, and better than foreign equivalents"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Dancing gas gage at 68k miles - Fixed at dealership for $35 - sensor had gone bad inside gas tank. Common occurrence among Blazers.
- Front ball joints at 33k miles - Fixed at dealership under warranty
- Recline handles broke at 28k (driver) and 40k miles (passenger). Easy fix at wittydeals.com for $55.00 for both.
- Replaced in dash factory AM FM CD when burnt out at 50k. Caused electrical shorts in car system. After replacement everything fine. Went with new Pioneer with XM radio.
- Back speakers went out 35k miles but didn't bother replacing.
- Had to turn brakes once at 78k.
General comments?
Bought this new fresh off the dealer truck, and these are the only problems in 8 years and 83k of mileage.
Last 3 years have only driven 8k miles on vehicle. First 5 years put 78k on as rep on PGA tour. Drove to all tournaments east of Mississippi. Been real reliable and comfortable for a 2 door LS model.
Smooth ride and steering with factory tires. Corners well for a 2 door Blazer without a tip factor... believe me there were times I tried to tip the thing!
