Overview & Reviews

Blazer gets automatic transmission improvements, new exterior colors and larger outside mirrors, while four-wheel-drive versions can be equipped with GM's AutoTrac active transfer case. Inside, there are new power-seating features, upgraded sound system options and available redundant radio controls in the steering wheel. On the safety side, the '99 Blazer now offers a vehicle content theft alarm, flash-to-pass headlamp feature and a liftgate ajar warning lamp. What's more, a new TrailBlazer trim package is available on four-door versions, featuring monochrome paint with gold accents, unique aluminum wheels, touring suspension and leather-lined interior.

• Still-handsome styling, wide range of features and options, competent drivetrain.

• Spotty build quality, cheesy interior parts, uncomfortable rear seats, no V8 option.

  Mixed emotions - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Ed - October 24 - 7:24 pm

  Bought it new and take excellent care of the vehicle, do not miss any maintenance appointments. Continual problem with drivers door hinge, locks and window. Repaired twice but still questionable. Paid $2300 to replace 4WD transfer case at only 68k miles. 4WD also still questionable. Love the look, the way it drives, plenty of power and room inside. Very disappointed in the tranny and the detailing of the vehicle. Would probably not buy another GM SUV.

  Thing break all the time - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By DonKKong - July 30 - 5:33 am

  Fuel pump, alternator, too much more to list went as soon as it was out of warranty. Last time I buy a lousy GM. Glad to see that seat lever wasnt just me.

  Chevys ABS brakes stink! - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Nicky - June 25 - 11:58 am

  My 99 Blazer LS has only 79k miles and my ABS brakes are completeley shot. Most of the time I cannot come to a stop. I need a new ABS system, new shocks & struts, new CB joint, and new Wheel bearings and the transmission is starting to slip. I hate this car! My Mom had a "94 with the exact same problems when it was only 2yrs old. I would never buy a Chevrolet again.

  Worst vehicle I have ever purchased - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By chk8abanan - June 23 - 6:23 am

  This is the worst vehicle I have ever purchased. It has not gone longer than 12 weeks without being in the shop. The plastic seat handle on the driver seat and the rear gate broke off in the first 10,000 miles. I had to have the door lock mechanism replaced, ball joints replaced, and 4WD was serviced for several defective internal parts. I have had numerous electrical problems including the AC staying on when switched to “off” position, lights flickering on and off, losing sight of my dashboard gauges due to lights going off.

  No more blazers - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Learned my lesson - June 5 - 1:52 am

  Bought this 1999 blazer after owning a 1987 blazer, which probably was the best vehicle I have ever owned. Problems started at 32,000 miles when the front suspension had to be replaced."GM Dealership would not fix under warranty" I have replaced the leaking oil lines, alternator,intake gasket,and around 50,000 miles the engine blew up. Have always changed my oil at 3000 miles and used a good grade of oil and filter. The (extended warranty) rep said probably just a faulty part. After reading other reviews looks like Im not the only one with these problems. "Be careful of extended warranties"

  Love/Hate relationship - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By UGA Dawg - May 26 - 2:14 am

  I have mixed feelings about this vehicle. I bought the truck used in 2000. It has been a fairly reliable vehicle, but it has put us down a few times. Positives: Its fun to drive, has enough room for me, and has good towing power. Its been through off road situations I didnt think it could manage. It has good looks. Major problems: 40,000 or earlier oil lines leak. 70,000 tranny rebuilt-dont buy a new GM tranny, it will only give the same problem, 100,000 Dextron coolant congealed in the radiator and ruined it. At 140,000 the A/C quit and axles or bearings are roaring. Minor issues: Seat levers break, door hinge bushings wear out often (doors sag). In summary, shy away from the Blazer, although I can hardly part with mine.

  Blazers Stink - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Bill Jenkins - March 20 - 7:24 pm

  The Chevy Blazer really, really stinks. It is suppost to be a strong built, heavy duty SUV. I am here to tell you that it is NO such thing! In the year & a half that I have owned my Chevy Blazer the front end has virtually fallen apart. This is not a well built SUV in my opinion. I will not recommend the Purchase of any Chevy Product to anyone. As they would be upset shortly after purchase.

  Still goin strong - 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
  By T.C. Hertweck - November 9 - 4:26 am

  Im currently driving my daughters red 1999 2 door LS Blazer. She bought a new X-Terra stick shift and the Blazer has been so reliable we didnt want to trade it. It has 186,000 miles on it, runs and drives great ( a little weak going upgrade, but then so am I... old age ). Anyway, I like this Blazer and well keep it in the shop for a runabout as it still looks nearly new.
