1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4x4 review from North America
"A never ending headache"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery, Alternator, Oxygen sensor, Muffler all in the first two years.
Since then the rear differential went out, the wipers don't work and the thermostat and fan quit at the same time. Wheel bearings and ball joints were next followed by the transmission.
Since going off warranty, the truck has needed new rotors every year.
General comments?
After spending $4200 in two years, I was done. Just when you think it has taken your last dollar check that trade-in value. This baby grabs money from your wallet until the very last day.
