  Lots of minor repairs needed - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By adeladime - August 11 - 2:00 am

  Ive been fairly happy with my Blazer that I bought used two and a half years ago until this year (Im approaching 100,000 miles). Its the perfect size for my needs and does really well in snow and ice. This year, however, Ive needed many minor repairs that have started to add up including the water pump, gas lines and alternator. The fuel pump went out the day after I bought it, so that was under the 1 year warranty I bought, luckily. Now Im thinking I want to sell it before anything major happens while its still worth something.

  Never own another Blazer - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Blind sided - June 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Blazer used,with only 34,000 miles on it. I have had nothing but trouble with it from the very start. At 75,000 miles, my transmission went out,Cost to replace $1,600. My wipers front and rear quit working.Cost to fix $300.00. The front wipers quit working during a storm, almost causeing an accident, as I could not see. Most recently, my catoletic converter went out, causing me to be stranded on the turnpike with a small child in the dark. Cost $800.00. I have replace the front wheel bearings every year since Ive owned the Blazer.My A/C quit working, as the compressor has a leak. Cost$600.00 to repair. 4-sale 4 what ever I can get out of it.

  A Terrible Vehicle - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By golfgod550 - June 7 - 2:00 am

  Worst vehicle I have ever owned...I have put six batteries and three alternators in the truck and yet GM says there is no electrical problems with these trucks. The brakes failed and I ran into a sidewalk. The push- button 4WD had to be replaced. The heating system had to be fixed and now the AC does not get cold, despite a recent coolent recharging. Oh, and there have been countless recalls on top of these expensive repairs. This the last GM product I will ever own.

  Junk - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Gummersbach - March 4 - 2:00 am

  Worse vehicle I have ever owned. Major electrical issues, including multiple alternators, etc. I must carry around a box of fuses to re-energize the dash every couple weeks after the fuse blows. If I do not replace it, the battery drains and I have a dead vehicle. A total nightmare.

  Heart beat of American CRAP - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By big dub 4 life - December 8 - 2:00 am

  This car is a prime example of American CRAP. It is unreliable. After so many miles in this car, one thing after the other starts to break down. This car wont go the distance. From the transmission, belts you name it, it will break! This car had so many RECALLS. Just like all the other American cars CRAP. Save your money and stress dont belive the lies, go foriegn! Please if you want us to buy American put some heart into your products, at least try to make your products last more than 20,000 miles!

  Met the need - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Happy one - November 1 - 2:00 am

  Very happy. Reliable, with very few problems. Transmission had a problem within first 2 years, but was under warranty. Tires lasted over 53,000 miles. Rear window washer feeder line has been a pain... keeps coming loose. Starting to hear a few annoying rattles inside cabin, coming from doors. Love the 4.3 L engine, had it in previous GMC Jimmy. Overall, it met my needs just fine.

  So far so good - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By VDOG - October 23 - 2:00 am

  Only had 1 mo. Mech. said except for possible oil leak this is a verry reliable veh. Could certainly use more power, but if you put your foot in it it will suffice. Verry good handling for size. Feels verry stable & corners well. Does not feel top heavy like others.
