2000 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"I will not buy a Blazer again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First fuel pump went at 48000 miles.
Second fuel pump at 122000.
Wheel bearings within first year.
Driver seat recliner lever the first year. The passenger side the next year.
A/C twice still doesn't work.
No heat. Haven't had that looked at yet. Can't believe it could be the heater core. $$$$$
Drivers side door doesn't close right.
Back windshield wiper not working.
Back window not latching properly. Fixed this with WD 40. Seems to be OK now.
Both lower ball joints replaced in last two years and idler arm.
Lots of other stuff I don't know the names for.
General comments?
The car still rides pretty smoothly. Gas mileage is what I expected. It handles well in the snow. I have a boyfriend who's a mechanic or I would have gotten rid of it when the warranty was up. Won't go back to the dealer who sold me the car for maintenance. They need serious help. I hope GM has to make a lot of concessions in this so called government bailout. Some of these problems shouldn't have occurred. The guys and gals on the line need to take a cut in pay.
