1995 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"A comfortable workhorse with ballz of steel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater core, A/C compressor, CD player acts up in damp or humid weather. Truck leans to the right (probably a weak leaf spring) Can't keep steering aligned.
General comments?
THE most dependable & comfortable vehicle I've EVER owned! The truck had 177,000 miles on it when we bought it about 18 months ago. I immediately replaced front brake pads, timing chain/gears, trans. filter & fluid, & charged up the A/C. THAT'S ALL I've done to this 10 year old truck. It now has nearly 200,000 miles and is still reliable enough to make the 500+ mile trip to Grandma's several times a year. It does not smoke, rattle, knock, drip, tick, leak fluids, or burn oil. It goes up the mountains of Tennessee effortlessly...& gets about 23mpg on the highway. Not bad for a 200,000 mile, 10 yo vehicle huh?
