1998 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4 review from North America
"Junk engineered, executed poorly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Let me start with the door hinge that broke when the truck was just 6 months old.
Then the power mirror motor broke soon after.
Power steering pump blew at 12,000 miles.
Power window mirror (left rear) ceased to operate at 14,500 miles.
Dome lights cut out on me (none of them work).
Brake lights stopped working.
This was the big one: Battery and alternator at the same time. 25,000 miles. Very expensive.
The seats are really uncomfortable.
I don't know who designed this P.O.S., but they should be fired.
General comments?
This has to be the biggest piece of junk since the Pinto. I cannot believe they sell these things they way they are built and designed. They handle poorly, don't hold up, and basically eat up all of your time and money. Also do not like they way I was treated at the dealership. What a headache.
