1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Too early to tell, but I'm optimistic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater stopped blowing hot air (turned luke-warm).
Rear view directional pad malfunction. Works both mirrors just fine except for left.
General comments?
Owned this vehicle only 2 months. I know it has some miles on it, however I'm still optimistic despite the problems so far. I thought the heater would be a BIG problem (and living in Vermont in the winter, It would be if it continued its shenanigans) but I can't believe how obscenely EASY it was to flush the heater core and cure the problem... I'm very proud of myself!
Nothing bad to say about the Blazer yet, tentatively speaking. The poor reviews here DO have me watching this vehicle carefully. Thank you all for that. I have a good idea of what to watch for.
