My Review

Chevy Guy 2, 10/11/2003
2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

I've had my Trailblazer for about (3) months now and have had only one problem. The weather stripping on the front edge of rear doors keeps falling off. It is an obvious design flaw as they rely on a small tab at top to hold in place and when door is opened the weather strip is pinched and pops off. The dealer finally glued them in place. The stereo system is so-so, power mirror controls are chintzy, wind noise a bit loud, front seats not very comfortable,and power steering is too over assisted.

this suv was purchased just days before a 26" snowstorm. 4 wheel drive works great! we traded in a '00 venture and dont regret it for one second. interior materials are a little on the cheap side, but exterior styling is great. love the tan interior and exterior! came with factory brush guards for under $31,000. this is our only car now since our '96 metro just died. reliability is questionable, however, metro never broke down, just many problems. the catylitic converter is what did it in. we compared the trailblazer to the toyota sequoia and found the trailblazer to be a better value.

Since we have purchased this vehicle it has spent more time in the shop then on the road. Somewhere in the front of the vehicle there is a leak that no one can find. Every time it rains, the entire front floor pannel gets soaked. My car smells like mildew and GM is not being all that cooperative with helping us out. I am not the only trailblazer owner that is having this problem. DO NOT GET THIS CAR

Worst purchase I've ever made

It's been nothing but problems. The air conditioner didn't work, the transmission went out due to "small metal shavings present from manufacturing" and metal fragments were on the "other side of the filter". This left us stranded in an intersection, and were almost struck by an oncoming car. They fixed it and it worked for about 2 miles, then the same thing...then they put a new "throttle body" in it. Then the windshield wipers went out in a downpour the three days after getting it back. Now the air conditioner still doesn't get cold and it jerks in and out of 2nd gear.

I wish I could get all my money back and start over! My first experience with a Chevrolet product has not been a good one. The Trailblazer (TB) has been in every 1000 miles or less for a front differential leak (3 times). I am experiencing what appears to be a transmission problem. I have had very minor problems with new vehicles, but nothing as serious as the TB. For the price, Chevrolet should really have more standard bells and whistles. The dealer is great, but the product leaves much to be desired. Sure hope Chevrolet can make me change my feelings. My TB has gotten to be the joke around work.
