1997 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"A repair shop's dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My dealership loves me: 160k and.
At about 45k the fuel pump quit 600 bucks.
At 60k the transmission died 1200 bucks.
I have had the door bushings replaced 6 times at about 60 bucks a trip.
One day while driving down the highway the windshield cracked from one side to the other.
Front rotors replaced 4 times (after the second time I bought lifetime rotors)
Front end raises up when you step on the gas (acts like a dragester leaving the line)
Front brake pads WOW maybe 6 times (after the second trip to the shop we installed life time pads)
Wiper motor died at 100,000.
Carpet on the driver's side is worn thought to the steel.
Rear hatch rattles non-stop.
Now the time decides to stall whenever it wants to and my dealer says there is nothing wrong. LOL.
Rear wiper motor replaced at 145,000.
Other than these problems it's not a bad ride.
