Overview & Reviews

Blazer gets a front-end restyle and an interior redesign. New standard equipment includes a theft-deterrent system, automatic headlight control, four-wheel disc brakes and dual airbags incorporating second-generation technology to reduce the bags' inflation force. New radios, colors and a column-mounted automatic shift selector round out the major changes.

• Sleek styling.

• Body shake on rough surfaces. Cheap interior parts. Uncomfortable rear seats. Former class-leading V-6 not as strong as much of the competition these days. Not as good a value as it used to be.

  Nice looking cool vehicle when it runs - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Glenn from Greentown - August 27 - 2:00 am

  Best thing about this vehicle is the cup holder, and its too small. Ive had nothing but problems with the suspension, alignment, and the computerized engine controlls. I had a perfectly good Ford Ranger pickup with 2WD, but wanted something with 4WD. I traded "up" to a newer and better vehicle??? Yeah, right. The Chevy dealer has no problem charging money to fix it, but the only part of the transaction that gets completed is me paying - no fixing involved.

  Definitely NOTa Ford - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By pitts666 - July 30 - 2:00 am

  Out of all of the SUVS available, I believe the Blazer is best value for your money. I have had the opportunity to drive or ride in most that are available and the Blazer seems to be most comfortable. A few friends (Ford Owners- Sorry bout that) have commented on the comfort and power of my Blazer when pulling the boat or trailer. They were a bit impressed as they were comparing their experiences with their Fords and Toyotas.

  Keeper! - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By BlazerFan - June 27 - 2:00 am

  We bought this vehicle used - it had been a lease and was well-cared for. It has taken me cross-country and back as well as around town errands with absolutely no problems. We love this car and would like to keep it till the wheels fall off.

  98 Blazer - Mine is a lemon - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Pamela Mann - June 24 - 2:00 am

  Rear suspension problems from month one. Local dealer could/would not fix to my satisfaction and would not assist with further investigation. They did admit to suspension problem but did nothing to permanently solve the problem. Many additional shakes and rattles in car body and engine. I have since moved and received 200% better service from Team Chevrolet in Alpharetta Georgia. (although I still think the car is a lemon).

  LoveMYBlazer - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By LoveMyBlazer - June 4 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car from a dealer with 10,000 miles on it. I never had a problem until I had to have the transmission rebuilt at 87,000 miles. But I had towed some rather heavy loads, and it never left me stranded just started shifting funny. I then replaced the alternator at about 102,000 miles and had a tune-up done at the same time. It now has 112,000 and is still going strong. I love this vehicle, but will need to sell it because I got married and my husband has a farm and we need a heavy duty pickup.

  Problems ahead - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By mrh - May 23 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle 2 years ago and have had nothing, but problems. So has everyone else that Ive met. I only have 57,000 miles on it too. Ive had to replace the mass air flow sensor, the oil cooling lines, the transmission seal, rotor and brakes at 35,000 miles, there is water on the floor coming from somewhere, and the climate controls wont blow on the floor anymore. Being as tall as I am it isnt very comfortable to travel in.

  Great Blazer! - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By MakeYourselfSD - May 6 - 2:00 am

  This car is great. Great styling, comfortable interior and a strong engine, there isnt much more you can ask for. Aside from the Transmission Rebuild I had to get at 81,500 miles due to a broken sealent, this car has been flawless in its service & realiability. This car is always ready to go and get the job done.

  You would think for free I would like it - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Anonymous - April 22 - 2:00 am

  I got my 98 Blazer for FREE so you would think I would be thrilled, right? Wrong. It is designed and built poorly. 3 mechanic visits in 6 months for various problems at $400 each. One to replace the serpentine belt, the others were for an oil leak and a transmission fluid leak. It is good in snow, does poorly on dirt trails and is only so-so on the sand. There is very little ground clearance for a 4WD. Tremendous amount of body roll and gobbles gas. Not fun to drive at all. Good for long trips. I am planning on trading it in for a foreign car/truck. My last American car was a 72 GMC Jimmy, which was more fun by far. I am going to wait another few decades before giving GM another chance.

  Chevy Blazer... What a disapointment! - 1998 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Paul Harrington - March 27 - 2:00 am

  Purchased my blazer with 18,000 miles on it as a one owner trade in. Being a fool I assumed based on appearance and the low milage this vehical was solid and every bit represenative of its appearance. Boy was I wrong... After two years of complete annoyance, I traded the turd in. In 24 months I replaced upper and lower ball joints, idler arm, brakes and rotors, heater motor twice, tensioner pulley twice, tires due to the ball joint problem. On trade it had a bad wheel bearing and the bearing was shot in the A/C clutch. This turd was purchased for my wife, to serve as the bus for her and my two young sons... The warranty of course ran out on time.
