No wonder GM is hurting.
I had owned this truck now for 15 months, bought it used with 73000 miles and very disappointed, just about every little thing that could go wrong with this vehicle has gone wrong. Right down to the cheap plastic features that have cracked on the interior, to the faded plastics on the exterior. The rear light housing on both sides have leaked and are in need of replacement will not pass inspection. In the 15 months my service engine light has come on at least 20 times. On an average it has cost $300 to fix. The gas pedal malfunctioned, thermostat, O2 sensors, TPS went twice, stuck two times in NYC with reduced power. Please be advised to look elsewhere if this is the type of SUV you need.
Trailblazer
Excellent overall. Very smooth ride, LTZ is super high luxury with nice features only available on lux SUVs with prestige name plates costing $20K more. After I set aside the snob factor (not easy coming from BMW/Volvo background) found this an excellent value. Extremely powerful engine that beats most competitors including the minivan-like (and looking) Mercedes SUV and overpriced and compromised interior size BMW. Even the headlights are good, which was surprising given that I always drove European cars before with excellent lighting.

Love/hate relationship
I bought my LS right off the lot, brand new. I loved it, handled great, felt comfortable, felt expensive. At 50000 miles everything went downhill. The fan clutch went out, factory defect, known by GM. I had to replace it twice. AT 60000 miles the shifter would stick and not move, found a broken wire under the console. The fuel pump started spewing gas, after I repaired it, GM sent a letter with an offer to replace it--too late for me. Gas mileage was perfectly awful, I live on a mountain, it took a quarter tank of gas to down then up. The older the car got the worse it became.
Excellent so far!
Though I have only had this car for less than a week, I have only found one thing I dont like. The recirculate button on the AC is not the default when you turn the car on. I had a honda and it was always the default.
