1997 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America

The first few weeks I had the truck, it would not start, I found by sheer luck that the ground wire to the battery was lose.

Next, the driver side rear seat latch was broke.

A few months later, I noticed whenever I had a passenger in the front seat, the interior lights would turn on and off and the door locks would not work. After several trips to the dealer, they found that some wires traveled through the passenger seat lumbar area, and were getting pinched.

About this time the transmission started a hard up-shift. I mean really hard, the tires would chirp and it would whip my head and neck really hard. I took it to the dealer many, many times. They could not duplicate the problem. (I was very specific in describing the problem.) After a few miles of speeds over 50 mph, when I came to a stop and tried to pull out. This is when it would happen. Yet if I turned it off, and waited a few minutes, it would reset, and the problem was gone until the next time. The dealer found nothing, until it was out of warranty. At this point, I went to another shop, and got a new transmission.

Two new batteries.

New alternator.

New water pump.

New wiper motor.

New tension device for belt.

Vehicle stinks when air conditioner is used.

I always have it serviced, every 3 thousand miles. These problems are not from abuse. As a women owner, I felt the dealer would not take my problems seriously.

I will not be purchasing another Chevy. product...EVER!

Personal preference: the rear hatch window tint is a little too dark. Backing up in a dark parking lot is difficult.
