2000 Chevrolet Blazer Trailblazer review from North America
"Great looking, reliable SUV with some build quality problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two lines had to be replaced on the rear defroster.
Climate control isn't working properly, it has two temperatures- hot and cold.
A piece of the lower front bumper cracked and broke off due to cheap plastic.
Nothing Major.
General comments?
The truck we have is a 2000 blazer trailblazer edition. It comes with all the options, leather, sunroof, 6 disk, heated seats etc. It's very comfortable and handles well, although acceleration is mediocre at best.
We haven't had any major problems with this car, bought it with 26,000 miles and we now have 68,000 and it's beginning to make some strange noises.
A loud ticking that increases with acceleration that sounds like it is coming from under the passenger foot-well almost overpowers the interior. It also sometimes makes a loud roaring sound when accelerating and turning to the left.
We haven't had any of the wheel joint problems that everyone else has had, but the whole truck now feels looser when driven over bumps. Everything from the dash board to the panel in the rear rattles over every single bump.
That being said, I really love the truck, it looks great and the four wheel drive is unstoppable. I would definitely buy a newer model Chevy, it seems like the build quality and ride are greatly improved, and that's really the only thing that I've found wrong with this vehicle.
