1998 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Great bargain for a mid size SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical issues - 2 battery replacements, switch failures.
Squeak in rear due to location of brake cable; fixed several times, but keeps coming back.
Fuel system problems, started as gas pedal sticking due to varnish from exhaust gas recirc, ended up blowing board for fuel control, big $$.
General comments?
The Blazer is very comfortable for a long haul machine.
Good maneuverability, but too top heavy to take corners fast.
