1996 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"What happend to the real Chevy trucks?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned and been happy with my 7 other chevy's I owned, but this truck only ran OK for the first 52K miles, serviced at dealer on schedule: then needed brakes, and shocks. 55K heater core out, 58K overheating flush radiator replace thermostat and hoses. 60K fuel pump out, ac out replaced compressor. 66K overheating dealer boiled out rad and replaced thermostat. The list continues on and on through 220K with a total of 7500 in repairs. At 220k decided to sell at first opportunity, no one wants it. I will never buy a chevrolet again.
