2000 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"A sub-standard vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hazard switch malfunction at 32,000 and 50,000 causing brake lights to fail. Replaced twice, once under warranty, and once through a recall.
Both front wheel bearings went bad at 42,000 miles. (Warranty expired.)
Upper and lower ball joints were shot at 38,000 miles. (Warranty expired.)
Transmission failed at 56,500 miles. (Of course, warranty expired.)
General comments?
The late model Chevy Blazers are junk. I have been researching these problems and have found numerous people complaining about major repairs at low miles. In particular, everyone I have spoken to that owns a Blazer usually replaces wheel-bearings and ball joints soon after the warranty expires. These repairs alone will cost at least $1500. I am still waiting to find out the cost of replacing the transmission.
I think the "Like A Rock" slogan is nonsense.
