Need parts to fix it, seem to be almost impossible to find
Great suv, have no complaints, other than it was totaled in wreck.

For family or for fun 5/5*.
Our little Chevy blazer 4x4 SUV is the greatest family vehicle we have owned. We bought it pre-owned with only 120k miles and one previous owner. She not only gets 25 mpg on the highway but fits 2xlarge adults and two well sized teenagers comfortably for an all day ride in the truck! We have had to give her love but nothing major just your basic plugs and wires; brake pads and rotors in the almost 2 years we have owned her. I strongly recommend this SUV for family or for fun. She's a beast in a mud pit too.

It's been a great vehicle!
Well for as old as my truck is, it's had some repairs obviously but has been a great vehicle for me. It has just a little over 100,000 miles, I'm hoping to keep it up and running for a few more years before getting a new one. I will always go with Chevrolet!

Great 4 by 4 Chevy truck.
My truck is great it's very good in the winter it's four by four. It's also very spacious and roomy. I've never really had to many problems with it. Tube ups and oil changes, routine break changes, and other miner services is all I had to do. All in all it's a great truck.

A Chevy Blazer is compact, versatile and ready for anything.
Break issues recently I had. It is compact for a SUV, easy to move large items around. Also it is not too expensive, less likely to be broken into maybe as a result. Mpg is not great. I like AC. Sound is not working and error lights are on. Auto windows broke at one point. It looks nice to me, but maybe not to others. Good for a farm or city, plus small parking spaces and family.

Reliable and safe car. Highly recommended this car.
I have not had any issues with this car. It has been reliable and safe to drive. I have not had many repairs. The car is comfortable and easy to drive. The gas mileage could be better. I would recommend this car to anyone. I plan to drive it for many more years.

Reliability if you take care of it, it will return the favor.
Bought new in 2001. It's loaded with all the goodies and then some. Very nice ride and handles very well in rain or shine or snow with it's 4 wheel drive engaged. No complaints whatsoever after 18 years.

The best little SUV in the sunshine state
I love my Chevy blazer! It's been reliable, comfortable and so durable on long drives or driving me into those mountain hikes I love so much. It's small like a car but still an SUV. Other than the normal tune up and oil change it hasn't given me many complications hence the reason I haven't bought a new vehicle. It has had some small issues with minor sensors needing to be replaced as many do within almost 20 years of existence! The leather interior is still in pretty amazing shape as well after all this time. It's helped me move out of my first apartment and not have to worry about the trunk space and it's taken me on amazing camping trips with the back seats that collapse for extra space packing a tent and being able to hit the road has been so much easier with this vehicle. I would recommend a Chevy blazer to anyone who was interested.

Negative Owner Reviews

They are very dangerous vehicles in rain or ice or snow!
The doors are falling off hinges. The windshield wipers fall off. It is terrible in wet and icy weather.
accountCircle Rich B
Most uncomfortable SUV I have ever owned.
Does not have a CD player. But for some reason it does have a tape player... Also, the car always breaks. Now it always make shakey sounds and rattles. Feels like no matter how it is driven it wants to break. The seats are very uncomfortable, I always have cramped glutes after driving for a long time. Also, it is having oil problems all the time now and that is rather sad, but I guess expected for such an old car.

It sucks and sucks some more
It's a piece of junk horrible gas mileage falls apart all the time
accountCircle Charles D
It is very unreliable and constantly replacing front end parts.
I like the design of the SUV and how spacious it is, but it is unreliable, has many complaints from consumers, had recalls, and makes me feel just from this one vehicle I would never purchase from Chevrolet again. The company did not even address half of the issues they had severe problems with. The design and space, along with the 4 wheel drive is the best part of this vehicle.
accountCircle Jeanne H
Needs to go to junk yard, everything is breaking on it, and is a gas hog.
I have replaced the transmission, fuel pump, brakes, brake lines, brakes, wheel bearings and tires and still runs, but everything underneath is falling apart.
accountCircle Michele D
It is a Lemon-too many repairs and it costs a fortune to maintain.
It has been a lemon needing fixed all the time. Purchased in 2003 used from a chevy dealer. It is loud and the seating is not very comfortable. I like the size.

2001 Chevy Blazer 4.6L 4x4
I have constant electrical issues. Car stalls on hot days, making it look like a fuel pump issue. I have replaced the catalytic converter, fuel pump, and I am unable to locate the main issue. The interior is falling apart day by day. I do not recommend this vehicle
accountCircle Kayla T
Great on gas and very dependable.
It's a little beater an I have two daughters an I do not like the fact that it is not in the best shape for kids to be in an I have put over $1500 with in the last few months for parts lots of parts an I can't rely on it to make it anywhere anymore.

2001 white Chevy blazer still in good shape with ac.
I am not planning to sell my blazer but it is a white 4 wheel drive two door blazer with ac and good fair interior. Runs well thou I do need new tires. It is a v6 engine and looks like it is due for a tune up. It has been raining so it will be needing a wash and some vacuuming. .
