What owners wrote
While driving about any speed up a hill engine will overheat,and the temperature gauge will rise up to its limit. Thermostat had been replaced, and flushed twice. This problem has been clogging radiators and heater.
Ball joint upper control arm broke as I was driving today. Since I purchased this 1997 blazer I have had nothing but problems-the windshield wipers fail,the water pump has been replaced the fuel pump has also been replaced. This vehicle has less than 60,000 miles. I just found out that most of these problem have been recalled I was never notified. I purchase the vehicle used at a local dealership,whom by the way did not tell me of any of these recalls.
