Blazer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I purchase my 97 Blazer in Dec 2000 with 35000 miles from a local dealer, I believe it was a previous lease vehicle. Within one year I had to replace ball joints but was told that I did not qualify for a recall. In Feb of 2003 I lost my heat and spent close to 2000 dollars replacing first the water pump, then the radiator. After that didn't solve the problem, the dealership told me that the system needed to be flushed with a special machine that would cost another 400 dollars. The system had to be flushed twice to get marginal heat. According to the dealership, the next move is to replace the heater core. Now the wipers stop working and only restart by flipping the switch back and forth. Not real good on the highway in rush hour traffic. I recently had the alternator replaced and the dealership stated that the serpentine belt was old and cracked and needed to be replaced. It actually had less than 5000 miles on it as they replaced it in February when the water pump was done, there was nothing wrong with it. The combination of lousy service from 2 different dealerships, a vehicle that has had nothing but ongoing problems will be enough to stop me from buying another GM product again.

Windshield wipers do not work properly anymore. They will turn on, and will stop, then start to work, then stop, if I turn them off, they keep working (they are still on with the switch on the "off" position) and will stop at various places on the windshield, often in a "straight up" position, which blocks driver view. When turned on again to fix, they often stop in the same place. This can go on for several attempts to get them to stop (rest) in the proper place. Also, turning them on delay will not work anymore. They seem to work with no delay, or they will stop completely on their own. I see a recall for wipers for the same vehicle, previous years, is there any chance the 97 Blazer (I have a 2-dr.) has the same problem? thank you.

The windshield wipers have stopped working several different times while it has been raining. This has almost caused me to wreck!! I feel this is a manufacturer's defect as my brother owns a Chevrolet sanoma & has the same problem. He replaced the motor & has continued to have problems. This is getting to be very costly. The manufacturer should cover it. How can I contact Chevrolet as well?
