1997 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"A good vehicle, fun to own, and very functional"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out last year.
Have gone through probably three starters and three alternators in the life of the vehicle.
Service Engine light hasn't stayed off for more than one month in the past two years.
A/C has to be recharged yearly.
Easily goes out of alignment...
...that might just be my driving skills, though.
General comments?
I love this vehicle, it was my first car, and my dad owned it before me.
It gives me trouble from time to time, but it is a very capable vehicle, generally reliable.
I've modified it with a suspension and body lift, and bigger tires.
I feel that the end of my ownership of this vehicle is drawing near. I will miss it.
