2001 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Think twice, about buying a Blazer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I start,
First I had to put new tires on because of front end vibration, but the problem to this day still isn't fixed. I had the ball joints, bearings, CV joints and other front end components checked many times, but still the doors and car shakes at about 70 - 75.
The rear caliper sticks on and off.
It shifts hared and makes a clunking noise!
Also the car rides like a boat.
General comments?
However the car is reliable and is a safe car to ride in. The gas mileage averages around 20mpg, but I've seen worse. With the rise in gas prices, this is something to think about. Also these cars do not hold their resale value.
