The Chevy Blazer has a storied history. Originally put on the shelf in the 90s, Chevy decided to dust it off and unleash it on the new generation. The Blazer came back in 2019, but there’s a few areas that Chevy needs to tend to, and that’s what we’re here to bring to light those areas. These are some Chevy Blazer used buying concerns.
Some areas that the Blazer has seen some problems with are the engine, brakes, climate system, transmission, and suspension. While these may seem like an automatic dealbreaker, they aren’t in fact most vehicles have some issues at some point in their various generations. These issues aren’t guaranteed to happen. In more recent years, JD Power has even given the Blazer an 85 out of 100 rating or “Great” showing the Blazer has proven to be a reliable vehicle when taken care of.
Taking a deeper dive into the issues will show what you should look out for. The first problem is with the engine. One consumer noted that the vehicle “had a shudder all of a sudden and wouldn’t hold off without a foot accelerator pressed progressively.” This issue was ultimately due to a loose pin on the piston.
Brake issues were reported noting that the vehicle would experience premature pad and rotor wear. In the worst case, sometimes the brakes would fail. The climate system was a point of failure for newer models. Being that we’re used to cold winters, this is something that should be addressed if the hot air stops working.
While the Blazer has transmission problems, this isn’t unique to it as it’s a point of failure for tons of vehicles. With the Blazer, the transmission would cause the vehicle to accelerate suddenly. This issue can range from being scary to harmful, needing immediate attention.
The suspension issues are pretty uncommon, same with the other issues that we’ve gone over, but still just as important to cover. Some consumers noted that the suspension sometimes feels unstable. When met with uneven roads or terrain that may cause damage to your vehicle.
Now that we’ve gone over some issues, it’s time to tell you how we handle them. When you bring your vehicle to us, our trained technicians, as well as master technicians take a look at your vehicle. If you’re not experiencing problems, you can still bring it here for a multi-point inspection where we’ll check known problem areas.
If your vehicle does encounter any problem we mentioned here, we can take care of it. If you have a coverage plan selected, and depending on the package, we will be able to handle it all. With plans for the powertrain alone, ranging to every aspect of your vehicle, you’ll never have to worry.
We even offer some rebates for these issues when you get them serviced by us, making it another way that we want to take care of you. With these rebates, we cover multiple areas of the vehicle that normally need work. If you like to stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance, we even offer pre-paid maintenance.
With this, you pay once and then when your vehicle needs some work done you’re covered. This comes in a variety of lengths, with two different packages that offer different coverages.
