1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Car has been good to me for 7 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pressure hoses at 35000 had to be replaced.
I am on my 3rd set of ball joints.
Passenger side seat adjuster broke in the first week I owned it.
On my 3rd set of wheel bearings/hubs.
Original tires replaced at 65,000 miles, and I am on my 2nd set of tires, which are dry rotting (Michelin LTX).
On my 2nd battery.
Windshield wiper module replaced at 125,000 miles.
On my 3rd set of front shocks.
Gas gauge does not work.
The fan for the heater/AC does not have a 2nd speed.
Front speakers blown since 90,000 miles.
Rear windshield wiper does not work at 130,000.
General comments?
The car has been very dependable and no body rot. Tie for something newer.
