My first trip out in my new Blazer, on my way out it overheats. New thermostat and water pump. estimated cost $200. Also at this time the mechanic tells me in needs radiator work as well, but never mentioned what kind of radiator work. (He actually wrote it real small on the bottom of my receipt.)
Broken lower ball joint means new lower control arms. $600.
Was slipping out of third and fourth means new transmission. Estimated Cost $2750.
My wipers act up all the time, its really strange.
If you step on the brakes real hard it makes a weird sound like a grinding and doesn't do much stopping. Almost got us hurt once before.
Also the wipers don't dispense washer fluid.
This is a really really comfortable SUV (has a nice stock stereo too), and when you first take that test-drive you can really picture yourself in it. Well don't be fooled it sucks more money from my wallet than my girlfriend.
My dealer was a complete schister, the only (and I mean ONLY) reason I bought the car is because he "threw in" a 100,000 mile warranty on top of the 100,000 it already had. Well the warranty isn't worth a dime, when I finally needed it, my transmission isn't covered. Also I was charged $1400 for the warranty they "threw in".
It is a pure shame that you have had such bad luck with your Blazer, however you should have had the vehicle checked out by a mechanic you trust before buying that vehicle, same with any used vehicle purchase. Second of all you should believe car salesman, they will tell you anything to get you to buy a vehicle from them.
I would advise you to contact the Better Business Bureau, your state attorney general, and the National Auto Dealers Association, and turn in this crook of a car dealer. If that doesn't work, call one of your local TV stations, or the local newspaper, and tell them your story. Bad publicity is something car dealers don't want.
