1999 Chevrolet Blazer S-10 review from North America
"Purchase the extended warranty or be prepared to dip into your 401k"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 10,000 and 12,000, the seat back adjustment handles broke clean off.
Inside spare tire assembly makes more noise than a heavy metal concert.
At 60,000, ball joints needed replacing.
At 65,000, both front wheel bearings needed to be replaced.
At 70,000, full electrical meltdown.
Replaced the battery at 27,500 and 55,500.
I keep a sleeve of spare batteries for the keyless entry system.
General comments?
I purchased the vehicle to handle heavy snow related driving and it has performed this task without hesitation.
My father advised me not to purchase a Chevrolet product as I would be endlessly reaching into my pocket, and he was dead on correct.
I no longer take the time to return my gas card to my wallet.
I am dumping this pig before it has the opportunity to create more sleepless nights.
