2000 Chevrolet Blazer LT review from North America
"Very expensive heart breaker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater no longer works. Went through an extremely cold winter with my 3 year old daughter and never had head. Replaced one of the components to the heater and it still doesn't work.
Driver side window stopped working. Replaced the switch, but that didn't help. Then after the actual motor was replaced it started working again.
Alignment is always messed up.
Went through two sets of tires in 1.5 years.
ABS warning light just came on in the dashboard... who who knows what I need to fix now.
Right at this very moment it is in the shop having its front-right wheel bearing unit replaced. I was told today that it will cost me in the area of $300.
Leather is wearing away rapidly.
Gas pedal sticks. I have to push hard in order to get the vehicle moving, which makes me look like an idiot as I jump across the parking lot.
General comments?
I was so incredible excited to get this car. I did all of the financing by myself through the bank, my parents didn't help me at all to get this car. I have always wanted to own an SUV, plus it makes toting my daughter around so much easier.
Now, I just don't feel safe in this car anymore, especially when I have my daughter in it.
I still owe 10K on it, I'm paying 245 a month and I am so angry.
