1997 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"Worst choice I made buying a vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just bought my Blazer 2 weeks ago. 2 days after I bought it, I noticed something leaking on my driveway, so I bring it to the dealership I bought it at, and it is missing a gasket cover. Had that put on, and then yesterday... on my way to the grocery store with my children, my 97 Blazer I just bought started making a howling noise and I smelled something burning. I pulled over to see what the smell was and walked around to find the problem... Well I saw smoke coming from underneath in the back. Now it is back at the dealership.
Also my ABS brake light comes on all the time, I have a floater needle for my gas gauge! It goes up and down every few minutes while I'm driving. The radio/CD player turns off when I brake.
I have never had so many problems with a vehicle ever!! I do not recommend anyone buy one!!!
