"Lemon, lemon, lemon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It started with the brakes at about 20000 miles. Had to replace pads and rotors. Anti-lock brakes never really did seem to work well. Seemed to eat brakes every 20000 to 25000 miles.

Transmission blew around 32000.

Many small problems over the course of the next few years included the four wheel drive, brakes, wheel bearings, went through a few set of tires, brakes, and more brakes.

The icing on this cake was around 120000 the engine got a tap. Apparently the engine was leaking oil, and since the skid plates caught all the oil I blew the engine, because of the oil coolant lines made of aluminum. Which expand and contract in the warm and cold.

The Chevy dealer replaced with a GM Good wrench re-manufactured engine. Turns out that that engine would go through a quart of oil every 200 miles. The Chevy dealer found that the number one cylinder was out-of-round, and replaced that with another re-manufactured GM Good wrench engine.

The next engine had the same problem!! Apparently, "getting two bad engines from GM Good wrench is like winning the lottery." After that the car was in and out of the shop 23 times for the same problem. One quart of oil per 200 miles driven.

General comments?

This car was a lemon, and I"m sure still is a lemon due to the fact that the second GM BAD wrench engine was never replaced. I got rid of the car prior to a third one being put in. This car cost me thousands of dollars in repairs, that I'm sure I"m still paying off.

All though I wrote most of the problems with this car off to the fact that the last three digits of the VIN code were 666, I would urge people to not buy any used white 95 Blazer LT. You might as well repaint it yellow, like the lemon it was!!
