1999 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Good comfortable vehicle, with excellent miles per gallon."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Computer went out at 12,000 miles leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere.
The instrument cluster went out, started flashing like a pinball machine at 28,000 miles.
Now, the fuel pump is going bad at 62,000 miles. I priced a new pump at the dealership as well as other sources. The new pump will cost at least $500 dollars, plus labor. The fuel pump also failed on my '93 and '96 Blazers, but they only cost around $100. Does anyone know what makes the fuel pump so expensive on this model? It'll make me feel a lot better if it's gold plated, or guaranteed to last the next 200,000 miles.
General comments?
I really like the ride and handling of the blazer and am considering purchasing the new Trailblazer.
However I am really concerned about getting ripped off on parts replacement costs, like the fuel pump price on my '99.
