1996 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

Everything important with the vehicle has gone bad more than once, starting with the alternator, which left me stranded on the side of the road for 2 hours. The next thing to go on the car was the power sunroof, which wasn't really that bad, but I didn't pay for a sunroof that worked only when it wanted to work. Next the transmission went on the car leaving my brother stranded at work for about an hour. That little repair cost about $1700 dollars. Then the next thing to go wrong with the car was the thermostat leaving my brother freezing all the way to and from work this past winter. That was fixed. Next to go on the car was the the water pump. That repair was about $300 dollars. Next to go with the car was the rear end. The gears were completely stripped. That repair was pretty costly as well. Then what do you know, the brakes have to be replaced. Next were the rear ball joints. Finally the anti-lock braking system itself had a glitch here and there. The anti-lock braking system never really worked when I needed them, resulting in three accidents, including 1 fatal accident involving my brother (owner of the vehicle). Apparently the seatbelt didn't do a good job securing him either. Other than those problems, the truck was pretty quick when you needed that extra boost of power, but it didn't help him none.

The car itself is not worth the hassle of going to the repair shop every few weeks. If I could see that this car was going to be the death of someone I love, I would've never have driven it.
