  Blazers can be FUN - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By PATsFan - July 23 - 2:00 am

  After four years and 55,000 miles not a single problem and this SUV is still a head turner. Now, I babied it for sure garaged, oil changes, lube. But in return Ive had nothing but good times in this truck. Ill trade in soon (I like to change every 3 years or so) and I only hope my next vehicle is as reliable and fun as the Blazer.

  always garaged.....@ repair shop - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By iboughtalemon - July 9 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 97 blazer used with less than thirty thousand miles, intending to put on One hudred thousand or more. I just cant seem to keep it out of the shop long enough to put the miles on it. I now have close to seventy thousand pampered miles and have over $4000 in repairs.... 1 complete rear end, a new set of lifters(under 50k), valve body in transmission, pulley on serpentine belt system and several other minor things that I cant recall. I am currently getting ready to install a new fuel pump and gas guage or amybe Ill just get another car.

  About to retire this at 110K miles - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By JoelK - July 3 - 2:00 am

  I am trading selling my 1997 Chevy Blazer after 5 years of ownership and 110 miles. Had about 3 major repairs (heater core, transmission, signal) all covered by an extended warrantee. This CANT handle for nothing in snow!

  By Fulla - July 1 - 2:00 am

  I purchased it used in 2001 with 70k miles on it. It has 101k on it now and other than new brakes and a few oil changes I have had no problems with it.

  Positive Experience - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By trenaldi - July 1 - 2:00 am

  I was concerned when purchasing because of the Consumer Reports below average reliability rating but the price was right so we went for it. Well five years later Im happy to report that not one thing has gone wrong with my Blazer (other than the normal stuff brakes, battery, tires etc.) I change the oil every 3k miles and follow the suggested maintenance.

  By Coop - June 24 - 2:00 am

  I just bought it not too long ago. I havent had any problems except for the service engine light comes on for something that is in my transmission but i know what it is and it is an easy fixer. Besides that i love it.

  My No-Problem Chevorlet - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Ken Preston - June 21 - 2:00 am

  Maybe Im lucky, but my 1997 Chevy Blazer has been an excellent car. The interior may leave something to be desired, but the performance has been without equal. Im approaching 100k with no major problems.

  Chevy Blazer is a joke - 1997 Chevrolet Blazer
  By Mike Reis - June 18 - 2:00 am

  If you enjoy going to the repair shop, and being without your car for extended periods, this is the car for you. I treated my Blazer with kid gloves and performed regular maintenance. But it always broke down. Major repairs included the transmission, suspension, alternator, exhaust, and more. To add insult to injury, I had purchased an extended warranty. The only "guarantee" was that Chevy service would hassle you every time you brought it in and make you wait weeks at a time. Gas tank is far too small for such as guzzler, and the stereo broke three times to boot. Fun to drive, but it was in the shop so often, Im not sure.
