2000 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"Great new, but falls apart quickly with age"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Truck was great until warranty expired.
5 month after warranty expired, at 60000 Miles Ball Joints went out, this was a. few hundred dollars to replace.
6 Months after warranty Expired, at 61000 miles Front Wheel Bearings went out. $600 a side to replace.
7 Months after warranty expired at 62500 miles rear end blew up, had to replace $2200 to replace the rear end.
10 months after warranty expired, fuel pump blew up, I had been waiting for this as around 60000 miles fuel sending unit quit working I had no gas gauge $300 to fix. Waited till it went out as I was going broke repairing it.
Other things wrong I cannot afford to fix at the moment and I am current at 60000 miles. Oil Coolant lines leaking, Drivers Door sags, leaking around transfer case, rear wiper does not work. Well today the alternator quit working. Also there is a smell of antifreeze coming out like the heater core has gone bad. I am extremely frustrated with this vehicle.
General comments?
I really loved this car when I bought it brand new from the lot, it was my first ever brand new car. It was comfortable, which I find most cars these days uncomfortable. It rode good, it was quiet and I was very pleased. In fact my plan was since this was my first new car ever that I could pay this car off and drive it for maybe 10 years. After the warranty went out on the car I have had nothing, but problems. I bought the extended warranty for 5 years 1000000 miles well I never got close to the 100k mile mark, but hit the 5 year mark. Now I think I am paying more for repairs than I ever paid for car payments. I am very disappointed I have been considering buying an H3 however it is made by GM and I am not sure I trust it after my experience with the Blazer.
