Bought the suv with 130,000 miles, for a great price $3,400. Within 140,000 miles had to replace the motor. Have had to replace the water pump twice. Replaced multiple pulleys. The power steering pump has now gone out. The electronics inside are poor. The gauge cluster went out and I replaced. The LEDs for the seat warmers and a/c, do not work. The seals on the windshield leak. The back glass latch does not work and the glass will not close. The transmission is now slipping at 155,000 miles. Gets poor gas mileage at around 12 miles to the gallon. Is horrible to work on because of the design and placement of parts. Have spent more in repairs on this vehicle than we originally paid for it.

We had this truck for 11 years, bought it new, put over 150K miles on it. It was our most comfortable vehicle for long road trips, though fuel economy did sometimes cause us to drive the Camry. We lost this hard working truck to a head on collision with a drunk driver in a Dodge Ram and it kept my husband safe in that event (he walked away with bruises and a single broken bone in one hand). In all the time we had it we never had to do any major repairs, it still had original brakes, transmission, etc. From day one it vibrated when idling at 750rpm, never figured out why..but it was never a real problem.

Best vehicle I have ever owned. Get 15 mpg city and 21 mph highway since the day I bought it. Other than ordinary maintenance, I have spent only $210 on it in 6 years.

The transmission on these things are terrible. It has been replaced about every 3-4 years since it was purchased new. The first one was replaced by the dealership and they didn't even warranty their work. 3,000 dollars and they said they didn't replace the pump and it caused it to burn up. That was their fault for not replacing the pump when they rebuild it.

My son Ryan, age 24, was cut off while driving on I-95. He lost control and spun across 5 south-bound lanes and slammed into a concrete barrier. The 03 Trailblazer was a complete total. But the built-in safety features absorbed most of the energy while the airbags and seat belts did their job. Ryan walked away with a minor neck sprain. I have nothing but high praise for Chevrolet building such safe and crash-worthy vehicle.
