2000 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Need a less costly SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reclining seat levers broke at 45,000 miles (vice grips work OK)
Replaced the wheel bearings about a year ago.
Upper and lower ball joints replaced at 80,000 miles.
The gas gauge does not operate because the electronic card that sits in the fuel tank shorted out (according to the dealer).
Serpentine belt replaced at 80,000 miles.
Oil cooler lines need to be replaced.
Replaced the brake pads more times than I would have cared to. Even had to replace the rotors once secondary to the excessive wear on the pads.
13 months after replacing the wheel bearings, I get to now replace them again.
General comments?
This vehicle is a mechanics dream.
