Response:
Exactly! It could happen either in cold start or in hot temperature. The thing bothers me most is that when I stop by 7-11 to buy a cop of cold drink in the hot weather and come back to start my car again. I asked my dealer several times for this problem, they could not find anything at all. Well, if you find any solution, please let me know. Mike

Response:
Actually, for clearity, it was the dealer which I bought the vehicle from that was going to charge me $400. I knew this guy who owed be a bit so he flipped the bill at Minute Muffler for me. I cannot do ‘automotive repairs’ myself due the the rental agreement I signed 
I recently moved down to the US East Coast and they all want everything esthitically pleasing where I am…which means no grease monkeys in the front yard doing their own repairs…kinda sucks – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > $400.00 for brakes?????? that’s insane. you can save yourself a lot of money by > doing them yourself. they are not that hard. it’ll only cost you like $60.00 for the

The ‘roar’ which I hear can occur either cold, or after we’ve reached 100degrees on the dial. I say design flaw! Its got something to do with the grease in the fan clutch…it has to warm up for 30 seconds before it will release the fan when just starting up. Somestime I wait minutes for it to quiet down. Even when hot its really annoying because you will be a a red light, step on the gas and you will have no power because its all taken up moving the fan… Maybe I should sneak in an electric fan or two. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I have a 1995 GMC Jimmy which is exactly the same as chevy Blazer.

Response:
I have a 1995 GMC Jimmy which is exactly the same as chevy Blazer. Two complaints exactly the same as Taylor: 1. The height of brake pedal is not adequate. It is also too heavy and a bit sloppy when you apply it. 2. Brake pad wears quickly. In my case, about every 15000 miles. When I drove my previous car, a Honda, I changed brake pad every 40,000 miles (same driver, as a comparison). I had also minor problems in interior lights and passenger side seat once. Sometimes, when I start engine at high temperature, engine makes some kind of groaning noise. However, it comes back to normal quickly. No other significant problem. I just changed my tires (~60,000 miles) and it may go for another 5 years. Mike Yang

Response:
$400.00 for brakes?????? that’s insane. you can save yourself a lot of money by doing them yourself. they are not that hard. it’ll only cost you like $60.00 for the pads. and $10.00 per rotor if you need to have them machined. i bet the brakes went cause the sliders seized up on you. that happened on my safari van. i just did the brakes on it last week and it was only $300.00 for brand new rotors and bearings, calipers and slider pins and pads and enough fluid to flush the whole front brake system clean.. if you do decide to do your own brakes, please don’t use candian tire pads. i put a set on my 97 tahoe and they were crap. it wouldn’t stop at all anymore. i burned them in and they were a little better, but i didn’t put more than 5000 km on them when i changed them. they were like new but they were way too hard. i put some napa ones on and they were much better. the rear brakes on both my 95 safari and my 97 tahoe are still original. they still have 75,000 km and 100,000 km respectively left on them – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > About 1 1/3 years back I bought a used 1995 Chevy Blazer LT, loaded, with > 88,000km (55,000 miles) on it.

Response:
About 1 1/3 years back I bought a used 1995 Chevy Blazer LT, loaded, with 88,000km (55,000 miles) on it. I fell in love with it. My vehicle before was my beautiful 1968 Pontiac Parisenne, so it was a change. Likes Power everything 4×4 on the fly It is a V6 so I get some power without loosing a LOT Some nice body and engine mods can be applied (I sugguest moving up to a K&N filter or a K&N FIPK like I’m doing) Pretty good for -30C in the middle of winter…but not invincible as I bent my rib on a curb as I slid into it. So long for 4×4 and ABS… Dislikes ABS (just dont like them, and I have to take it in for the second factory recall during this 1.3 years I’ve had it) The brake pedal is too close. It should be inline with the gas pedal so I don’t have to do any EXTRA work when applying the brakes) Bought it from the dealer and I wore down the brakes within 6 months. We estimated that I would go through brakes once/year. Thats $400CAN/year on brakes alone. (not covered under my ‘premium’ warantee) Then again, it IS only a V6. Engine is a little cramp…but I suppose that is true of most newer vehicles. The vehicle needs to be an inch or two wider. Both O2 sensor replacements through the dealer could set you back $300CAN (not covered under my ‘premium’ warantee) A/C went during this first 6 months…warantee covered it. ($600 worth) Fuel pump went during this first 6 months…warantee covered it ($500 worth) Recently lost power door locks and seats (electrical short – tracking it down) The truck itself has been rather trust worthy. The only thing that was a ‘break down’ was the fuel pump…and the brakes were kinda critical. It made the trip of 3000km (2000miles) from Canada to the US though without problems. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > We are looking at a 95 blazer. It has high miles but a low price.
