Faults:

My fuel gauge too started messing up and not going to empty when low on fuel. I just fill up at 300 miles for every full tank. I average 21 mpg. The fuel pump and sending unit are one unit and the rheostat is built into the side of the assenbly. I found one on ebay for $139 and is much cheaper than the dealer. 4 door pumps cost a little bit more for some reason. Planning on installing it before next fill up. White 2000 blazer 2 door 2wd. 76000 miles. Might trade for a new Mustang!

General Comments:

The ride is O.K.

Paint is fine.

Interior is comfortable.

I like the SCV (speed controlled volume) on the radio.

Faults:

Replaced ball joints three times. Replaced rear diff at 65,000 miles. Fuel pump at 103,000. Oil cooler lines at 104,000. I also had a problem with my engine light. Secondary air injection system malfunction. It turns out that I needed to replace two check valves that had stopped working.

General Comments:

I have had the car for four years and it has been pretty good, judging that I regularly service it.

Faults:

I am meticulous about maintenance:

Mobil 1 Synthetic every 3K

All fluids flushed every spring&winter

In additional to routine maintenance.

*While under 100K extended warranty

Fuel Pump?Somewhere between 50K-75K?

(1st time I would ever say an extended warranty paid off)

*Items Not Covered Under Warranty

Both front seat recliners 2X (common issue-I agree with "who hasn't had this problem") and rear spare mount issues.

At 115K (out of warranty-$2,700 Later)

Upper/Lower ball joints (common issue)

Oil Coolant lines (common issue)

Transfer Case Seal

Power Steering Seal

Cracked Radiator (uncommon/plastic)

General Comments:

My biggest complaints:

Fuel Economy did not match sticker

Average 14.5 MPG (I do a lot of hwy driving)

Snow Handling (due to large tires)

Why did I buy it? $30K tax, title, licence, down the road with 0% interest 60 months.

Would I buy it again? NO, I wished I'd spent the extra $5K on a Jeep.

Faults:

Truck was great until warranty expired.

5 month after warranty expired, at 60000 Miles Ball Joints went out, this was a. few hundred dollars to replace.

6 Months after warranty Expired, at 61000 miles Front Wheel Bearings went out. $600 a side to replace.

7 Months after warranty expired at 62500 miles rear end blew up, had to replace $2200 to replace the rear end.

10 months after warranty expired, fuel pump blew up, I had been waiting for this as around 60000 miles fuel sending unit quit working I had no gas gauge $300 to fix. Waited till it went out as I was going broke repairing it.

Other things wrong I cannot afford to fix at the moment and I am current at 60000 miles. Oil Coolant lines leaking, Drivers Door sags, leaking around transfer case, rear wiper does not work. Well today the alternator quit working. Also there is a smell of antifreeze coming out like the heater core has gone bad. I am extremely frustrated with this vehicle.

General Comments:

I really loved this car when I bought it brand new from the lot, it was my first ever brand new car. It was comfortable, which I find most cars these days uncomfortable. It rode good, it was quiet and I was very pleased. In fact my plan was since this was my first new car ever that I could pay this car off and drive it for maybe 10 years. After the warranty went out on the car I have had nothing, but problems. I bought the extended warranty for 5 years 1000000 miles well I never got close to the 100k mile mark, but hit the 5 year mark. Now I think I am paying more for repairs than I ever paid for car payments. I am very disappointed I have been considering buying an H3 however it is made by GM and I am not sure I trust it after my experience with the Blazer.
