1989 Chevrolet Blazer S-10 4wd review from North America
"It's a Chevy, enough said!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The pitman arm was bad when I bought it. Got it replaced right away.
Brakes squeal as if the pads are bad, got checked and they said brakes were perfect (like new) and it was probably just noise caused by getting too hot.
A.C. doesn't work, and the fan only blows out of the dash and on the floor.
Back window defrost unhooked when I got it, don't know where the wires are, also the paneling around the radio was all broken, and dash missing 2 vents.
Rear window shocks bad.
Gas gauge doesn't work.
Door key only opens the driver door.
Most of the problems I had were small things that should have been fixed before I got it.
General comments?
Lots of room, reclining seats (i love that) reliable and well maintained, clean and durable, but really slow, hard to get up to highway speed.
At 193000 miles and in this good of shape and running this good... what a deal!
