1997 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"Fantastic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front and back wipers (just faulty manufacturing)
Brakes.
AC.
General comments?
I absolutely love my 97 Chevy Blazer. My dad got it new back in 97 and its now basically a hand me down as a starter for me.
Its had its small problems here and there, but nothing unlike any car with close to 200,000 miles on it. This truck has not been babied by any means. Its been taken off road, through deep puddles, through fields, in the mud, red lined, oil not changed for thousands of miles past recommendations, brakes not changed until grinding, etc. I'm also just putting in new spark plugs tomorrow to replace the stock ones that came with the truck in 97... You get the idea I'm sure.
All in all, I wouldn't trade this truck in for the world, but I see that I'm one of the lucky ones after reading these forums. I just figured I would add some balance to the Blazer bashing...
