The truck is a piece of junk
The check engine light came on 600 miles after I bought the vehicle, at the same time the transmission started making a whining noise.
The transmission, after 1000 miles of purchase, wouldn't shift out of second gear.
The truck has good power and rides nice.

It always has SOMETHING wrong with it
Replaced: egr valve 4 times, transmission rebuilt, 4-wheel drive switch, water pump, alternator, O2 sensor 3 times, tie rods and ball joints.
It spends more time in the shop than in my driveway! What a piece of junk. It needs a completely new engine and suspension replacement.

Nice vehicle, but don't be surprised by the maintenance
Cruise Switch.
4X4 Actuator and new push button.
Alternator.
Water Pump.
Brake Light bar on back window.
A/C pressure switch.
Power Window Motor in drivers door.
Door Handle on outside of drivers door.
EGR Valve is the biggest pain, It keeps plugging with carbon.
The transmission was replaced before I bought the vehicle.
I figured these things would come up after 100000 miles. I do most of my work myself so I may save some money. I've noticed some people here saying that their cost for maintenance at a dealership always run $1000 dollars min. I think those people should find different mechanics. All in all if you take care of it from the beginning it will hold up.
I love my Blazer!

Something is always wrong with it
I have replaced the oxygen sensor 4 times. I have replaced the EGR valve 6 times. The transmission has been rebuilt. The brakes have been replaced 3 times. The catalytic converter has been replaced twice. The muffler has been replaced twice. Both idler arms and pitman arms had to be replaced. The electronic switch for the 4-wheel drive system had to be replaced.
The truck had ll recalls in the first 2 years. What a piece of junk! I follow all the maintenance schedules and it still spends way too much time in the shop. I would never, ever buy another GM product, especially a Chevrolet. The only reason I still have it is because it's paid for. When the maintenance payments equal a new car payment, it's going to the scrap yard.

This SUV is for somebody who likes problems.
I've replaced three fuel pumps, the complete cooling system, both headlights, the oil pump, and the exhaust from the cat back, and I've only had it for 8 months.
Every week I have to replace something. It's a giant money pit. I had twice the amount of miles and drove the hell out of the Talon and never had a problem. I drive this as perfectly as I can and all this crap breaks. This is the biggest flop Chevy has ever produced.

I've owned Chevy's for over 35 years and this will be my last one, ever
Replaced fuel injectors twice.
Replaced fuel pump twice.
Replaced fuel pump pulsater twice.
Replaced gas gauge sending unit.
Replaced door hinge pins, both sides.
Replaced alternator.
It still has an unknown clunking in the right rear which my mechanic can't find or identify.
I hold my breath in the morning while starting to see fit it will start and get me to where I'm going.
Like a rock? You have to have rocks in your head to buy a Chevy.

A steal for 2900.00
I had the Blazer for a week before the breaks went. I took them back to the garage that inspected the Blazer and he replaced the front brakes for free.
The seats are very comfortable. The bells and whistles are great. Great pick up and handling. It drives like a new truck regardless of miles.

The Fuel injectors replaced at 78,000 miles.
