1999 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Nice Truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver Door Bushing ($4.00)
Transmission solenoid ($20.00)
A/C Compressor ($125.00)
Will need wheel bearings & Ball Joints (~$250)
General comments?
I've read all the other articles on here and am amazed that people have so much trouble with these vehicles. This is my 3rd one so far ('88, '89, and now this '99) and nothing major has gone wrong with 98,000 miles on it.
I did notice that a lot of the complaints from people have been from those who take their trucks to the Dealer for repair. A lot of little things can be taken care of easily if you just do it yourself. I supposed if you are the type that doesn't want to even look under a hood then a Blazer is not the vehicle for you.
Has been a great truck for me. No major complaints.
Parts are very common and cheap from the parts store.
Gas MPG is not great. I average 18.7mpg.
Headroom is tight for a tall person.
