1998 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Very poor SUV. Don't recommend."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
40,000 miles, brakes are shot.
45,000 miles, passenger side front wheel bearing worn out.
48,000 miles, drivers side front wheel bearing worn out.
55,000 miles, both main drive shaft u-joints bad.
58,000 miles, passenger side front wheel bearing blew apart causing minor accident (wheel fell off)
68,000 miles, major vibration, tires are wearing weirdly, dealer says nothing wrong with suspension or front end. Things to make ya go crazy.
General comments?
This vehicle is a home mechanics best friend.
If you are not mechanically inclined you would be better off buying another style of car.
