I've officially driven 25,000 miles in my 2019 Chevy Blazer RS. I'm here to talk about the good, bad, and expensive. There have been a few issues come up like creaks and rattles, one major problem involving a wheel, and electrical gremlins, but overall the ownership experience has been great.

Thanks for watching!
Do you still have this car? Still recommend it?
So to sum, there is Nothing wrong with the Blazer, truth is those smaller Michelin tires are the problem . Don't advertise a negative review if it isn't. I own a Blazer and I love it.
I have a 2020 RS, Nothing wrong at all for almost 3 years.
Loved your video. Just purchased a 2021 Blazer 3LT. Love it so far
Great video. I wouldn't have thought of that.
I test drove one it’s awesome I might get one hopefully soon. Nice power on that hyw
Keep me updated, as I am considering buying one next year.
I noticed my 2019 Blazer is quirky too! From the rear wiper doesn't work at times to the infotainment screen giving blank, to the variable air pressure level in all the tires. I am only at 10k miles too!! The one thing that is bothering me is having to remove the front bumper to change a headlight bulb. That is crazy. But the overall performance is excellent. Gas mileage, acceleration and transmission performance all good.
I wonder if there electrical is the "User Setting" options undecided on which key fob to take instruction from... you can set wheel, seat and side mirror as well as references for each user and fob... My dealer told me to makes sure to keep them separated and don't drive w/ more than 1 at a time in range of each other, or the vehicle...
I own a 2020 RS and was waiting for Blazer issues after 25,000 miles and you actually had none. Should have led with that.
My dream car
Great review
22 blazer rs here with 38k already. Been across the country and back twice. Cold air intake since 1k and clean filter every 10k, oil changed religiously every 5k. It’s never missed a single beat.
The oem Continental tires were a dumpster fire, rotated every 5-7k and got 33k before putting a set of really nice Michelins on it.
Its a 22 should it miss a beat? Shit honda runs for 400k without even changing parts. These new chevys are junk
Why’d you put an intake on it?
Add a performance chip & sport exhaust to go with your cold air intake. My 2019 RS is about 335hp now. & if you have an extra $800-$2,200 you can upgrade the brakes, calipers & rotors. Stock ones can get hot fast & increase braking distance.
I’m having the same issues in my blazer, I actually opted for the insurance or coverage on the tires and rims
Smart move. The repairs can get pricey on these new cars
have a 2019 chevy blazer rs fully loaded and it’s running about 25k miles right now and it is currently shitting the bed. This morning i woke up and drove it work work, the ac was on but none of the controls for it were working couldn’t adjust the temperature or anything, then later every light it could have turned on and the power steering was off. The car didn’t start then shortly after started and drove fine. Been having thid problem for the last few days not sure what is the issue.
Hey did you find out what was wrong and have you fixed it? Do you recommend buying one?
2019 Chevy Blazer RS owner of 2 years with 33k miles. Only problem I had with my tires was when I ran over a nail. Sorry yours was rim was cracked, but yes the aluminum sports rims arnt cheap $500-$800 each. Mine are $610 (not from the dealership) & if you have good sports tires on it like I do, then thats another $340 each (not from the dealership)
A friend's ex gf had the same rear camera blue screen you had. Cracked lens cover & bad wire.
My mirrors have worked fine. Someone/something hitting yous? Or does it do it when you are in reverse? You can set the mirrors to tilt down when you are backing up. Can have 1 or both do it. Or did you upset your wife/gf & she changed the driver side mirror setting on your fob.
Only strange noises or rattling I had was a loose clip in the front passenger front upper trim. I do still have a bit of a noise when i have the bose stereo system extremely loud. But it does get loud & it come with a nice sub in the dash.
I smoke in it so I always have the moonroof open slightly & the windows down slightly. But the moonroof doesn't make any noise even with the radio full blast.
At least you haven't had any major transmission or infotainment system issues like some people have had. I love mine & it souds like you like yours also even with the issues you have with it.
Thanks for posting the video with your comments on the Chevy Blazer.
For $900 you could have got 4 GOOD aftermarket wheels and sold the stock wheels to cover some of the cost. OR took it to a wheel shop and they could have fixed that rim for under $200.
You're probably right! Live and learn...
Aftermarket junk no thanks
@@ceasergert2780if it cracked, the OEM is obviously junk and Chinese outsourced with a bow tie on it
For $900 I could buy 2.7 of the tires I have now. Or for $900 I could buy 1.8 of the rims I have now.
the only thing I don't like is that auto stop in D mode you have to put it in L-9 to turn it off.. there should of been a setting to permanently turn off.
Agreed, but they did add a hard button to disable it for the 2020 model
On my 2019 RS I can turn it off in the infotainment menu. I hear a lot of people complaining about the auto shut off/start up. Maybe the option to turn it off is part of a package on mine. Not sure.
Any update?
How is it in the snow with the 21" wheel set up? Considering a Blazer but I think the standard 20" wheels are fugly even though they should perform better in the snow.
I actually have a video about that! In the end it comes down to the actual tire... these factory tires on the 21's really aren't that great in the snow
@@RDMotoring Thanks. Watched the other video. Yep, I totally agree about the tires, that's why I said 'set up' (Im not one of those people who think awd automatically makes it better in the snow😁). I'd rather not buy a vehicle and have to immediately have to buy different tires or a whole different winter combination. I'm also considering the Edge ST and am purposely looking for ones with the standard alloys over the upgraded performance wheels for the same reason. But I really don't like standard wheels on the RS. IMO they horrible.
Also, scanned your videos and noticed the Buick. Never considered one. I'll have to give it a look.
Thanks again!
I have 21" on mine & last winter it handled great. But I dont have stock tires on it, sporty all season. It also likes the dirt but only tolerates the mud. It would rather go fast than get too dirty.
Get a catch. All direct injection engines need catch cans. The reason is simple,. Without port injection to clean the intake valves carbon builds up. Right about 60-80k the carbon will be so bad you have to pull the heads and do a valve job.
Looks up carbon buildup on direct injection motors. Highly recommend installing a catch can 👍
can that be installed at 50k miles? first time I hear that, I'm now researching .
Sure if you own a chevy. Got a honda 370k going strong. Amsoil oil changes and never changed a single part of skipped a beat
@@jamartin005 is it port injection? I've got a 2008 Silverado with 300k that's port injection. Puts the new motors to shame. Better to buy older vehicles at this point. New cars have sooo much safety stuff it's nuts!
I bought a new 19 Cruze LS. I will on occasion have computer glitches that affect things, turn signals not chiming, dash lights go dim, and 1 or 2 other things. The next day things reset, and all is OK. None of the things mentioned have ever happened again.
Electrical ghosts that aren't even worth chasing... as long as they keep fixing themselves 👀
my 2019 blazer RS fully loaded has 41k miles no issues I drive in FWD I don't use AWD I drive like a beast normal oil change I use 93 octane I don't use 87 and my blazer feels like it has more power to the wheels
Have you priced a headlight bulb??
Sorry I have not, never needed one
A little scary to think that there are gremlins already in a 25,000-mile car. Imagine this thing with 150,000 miles. Not too confident in the car lasting long
My 2020 RS has 38K miles, Just replaced Radiator small corner seal leak on driver side bottom corner $1650 repair, passenger side mirror warning of vehicle light stays on even going through the middle of the desert with no cars or lights for miles, Passenger mirror points down on ground when backing up. Frequent tire pressure warning lights, constant air pressure lost due to cheap factory wheels, No cure. Front black out body panel at grill is peeling some sort of cheap factory clear coat, No cure.
The passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the curb. This isn’t a issue, it’s a nice feature
Tire and wheel insurance, is half of what new wheels and Michelin tires new from aftermarket.
Don’t think I would pay that much for an ome wheel.
That’s insane.
Pro tip always fill tires 5psi higher than standard for potholes
That's not a pro tip. That's something a back guy would do. 5 psi high makes you more like to slide on rain, snow and dirt. Putting or self at risk with over inflated tires is a bad move. Really pro tip is eyes on the road and Dodge the potholes. Drive safe!
Do not get continental tires last 25 thousand miles not good
Our blazer rs let's just say almost everything has gone wrong radiator, thermostat, emissions solenoid, window regulator ,service rear camera .
I bought a new 2019 blazer premiere , at 40k miles it was overheating , dealership said it was radiator, I paid $1400 dollars (warranty did not cover), it was not radiator , it was cooling fan!! I refused to pay for cooling fan that since I had to pay another mechanic to tell me what it was!, at 45k miles the thermostat went bad ! ac didn't work , steering assist did not work , temp gauges did not work , dealer charges $1800 so I fixed it myself ! sooooo no too happy with this car!!
Lol@ dramatic reenactment
$1k for a rim. ... cue eye roll.
Stick with either Honda or Toyota.
The only thing that quit working on my 2019 Blazer Premier is auto shut off stopped working. So who cares?
Well your first mistake was buying a Chevy...
Sounds terrible. Lol
I can't stand low profile tires anymore... I get they SLIGHTLY help with handling but they don't need to make them that f-ing low, it just leads to unnecessary damage, extra ware on the suspension, and a worse ride experience over potholes... For what?
Just so Karen can take her 5-ton crossover threw the exit ramp 5mph faster before she rolls off into the ditch and blames the car for her trying to take a off ramp @ 65mph in a mid size SUV?
I'm with you 100%!
