1998 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Would buy another one in a minute"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump at 135,000 miles.
Idler arm at 100,000 miles.
Wheel bearing at 225,000 miles.
Alternator at 115,000 miles.
Door bushings at 100,000 & 210,000 miles.
General comments?
I love this car. It has had some work needed, but it has been at higher mileage. I liked it enough that I have 3 Blazers and 2 S-10 trucks.
I agree with some of the comments elsewhere on this site, that if you do not do the maintenance, stuff will go bad like lubing the door bushings and ball joints.
