1998 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 review from North America
"This blazer is neat to look at, but a money pit!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A year after I got this Blazer my water pump went out. A couple months later my transmission went out. About a year later my 4X4 wasn't working correctly. The blazer would shift into 4X4 LO by itself. After this happened a few times, I took it in and had to have the 4 wheel drive cable replaced. I recently put a new alternator in it. The windshield wipers have now quit working... they work randomly (usually don't work when it's raining). This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Now I am leaking anti-freeze again.
General comments?
Almost every week something small goes wrong with it. I have it serviced regularly, so it has been taken care of. I will never buy another Chevrolet again! I keep thinking that I will keep it and drive it because I have replaced most things in it, but things still keep going wrong!!
