1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"This vehicle is a piece of JUNK! Poor Engineering!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 98 blazer that has 65K miles and it just began shifting very hard after driving it for an extended period of time (usually 45 minutes or more). If I am on the highway, whenever I exit, it always shifts hard going into every gear. Does anyone have any comments on the transmission?
Other problems I have had:
Front Windshield wiper motor AND circuit board.
Front Hub assembly, passenger side was replaced 3 times by the previous owner and once by myself and its making noise again.
Rear wiper is currently working when it wants to.
Recline lever on the passenger seat broke off.
Oil lines were replaced.
Lumbar adjustment is broken.
Door is sagging slightly. You can see the paint wearing away.
General comments?
Great comfort and nice and roomy. Good power out of the 4.3L engine.
My advice dont buy a Blazer! And if you do, buy mine!
