1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Absolute filth, GM went bankrupt for a reason"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Might take a second to remember them all...
Intake gasket at 100,000 miles.
Waterpump at 105,000 miles.
Wheel bearings at 110,000 miles.
Brakes at 110,000 miles.
Rear windshield wiper quit at 113,000 miles.
Alternator at 115,000 miles.
Door out of alignment and latch broken from 120,000 to now.
Anti-lock brake sensor at 130,000, 138,000, and 150,000 miles.
Heater quit working at 161,000 miles.
Seatback lever never existed since I've owned it.
Rear brake caliper stuck at 165,000 miles, ruined rear end seals as well.
Fuel pump at 169,000 miles.
Service engine light at 171,000 just can't bring myself to spend anymore money on this heaping pile of crap.
General comments?
Has been a serious problem since I've owned it.
Chevrolet should be ashamed and sued for letting this vehicle hit pavement anywhere. There are so many inherent problems that go wrong on ALL of them, recalls should have been activated long ago.
Anyone who thinks spending this kind of money on a vehicle is "normal wear and tear" should quit lying to themselves and everyone else, and face the cold hard truth... this is not normal.
