1996 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

300 miles after purchase, alternator went out.

750 miles after purchase, first time check engine light turns on.

800 miles after purchase, first time ABS light turns on.

1500 miles after purchase, changed the front brakes, thought the ABS light would turn off, it did!!!

1700 miles after purchase, replaced the plugs and wires to try and get the check engine light to shut off. It didn't help.

1800 miles after purchase, replaced the fuel pump and fuels lines. Clogged and cracked. Quality products only.

2000 miles after purchase the Air Conditioning quit. Freon had leaked somewhere. Numerous trips to the shop turned up nothing. Had to replace all the hoses.

2200 miles after purchase the Air Compressor went out, very conveniently after the A/C work was done.

2500 miles after purchase, the Check Engine light is still on.

3000 miles after purchase, driver's side power window motor burns out. Replaced myself.

3500 miles after purchase the driver's side power seat motor burns out. I just leave it alone.

4000 miles after purchase, the CD player eats my CD and won't give it back. I just leave it alone.

5000 miles after purchase, the Check Engine light is still on, replaced the O2 sensor, costly and doesn't help. Actually the second time I did this.

6500 miles after purchase, replace four tires, tread was gone, this was just a wear and tear repair, will happen to everyone. Oh yeah, the check engine light is still on.

7000 miles after purchase, the front brakes are squeaking so bad, I took it to the shop, they said I need new brakes. Apparently the problem is that the computer is giving more pressure to the front than the back.

8000 miles air conditioning has quit again. I am leaving it as is.

8500 miles after purchase, Cold weather sets in and guess what, the check engine light has gone off. My guess is that it finally burnt out.

9250 miles after purchase, recently rode on a trip to the south and brought back a visitor. Yep that's right, the Check Engine light is back on, I sure missed her.

That's it, no more, I am selling this hunk of junk. Nissan here I come!!!

The only I repeat the only good thing about this piece of junk is that the seat are extremely comfortable. Too bad you can't sit in them too long, because you are always getting out to check under the hood.

I can't get the Check Engine light to turn off, which means absolutely no resale value. I am trying to buy a new car and the dealer laughed at me when I brought this thing in for a trade.

Sorry I hate this vehicle, sure I might have gotten a terrible one, but I will never never never buy a Chevy again. It is hard to be patriotic and buy American when you have to walk to work.
