This is SERIOUSLY out of hand.
Every 3-4 thousand miles SOMETHING majorly goes wrong with it. Friends ask me how my truck is doing constantly because there is always *something* wrong with it. It's always in the shop.
I'm very kind to my vehicle. Wash it regularly, keep it CLEAN, oil changes as needed, I put MAYBE 15,000 on it a year. It could show some kindness back my way.
We've put over $5,000 in repairs on it in the 2 years we've owned it, and have had over $1900 of warranty work done in addition.
I have a 1996 4WD 4-Door Chevy Blazer and it is always breaking down. I can't go more than 6 months without a major expensive repair. I would not recommend anyone to purchase one of these vehicles unless you can get it for free, because you will end up spending a large amount of money keeping it running.
