Used 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer Consumer Reviews
Great SUV
This is an awesome SUV. Very fun to drive and tons of power. The gas mileage is ok average of 15mpg. I had to have the vehickle serviced at 120 miles for the pass lock security system went out and I was unable to start the car. had that fixed and hasn't been a problem since.
New 2002 TrailBlazer
Has a lot of power but lousy MPG. The sticker MPG rating is over-rated. Most consumers are getting around 13MPG in City driving with stop and go traffic. One thing I am very upset about is an annoying valve train tapping noise that appeared within the first 500 miles after it reaches operating temp. It sounds like a vehicle with high mileage. Dealer and GM do not want to attempt to correct until after 4-5K miles of break in.

2002 LTZ reliability unknown
There is very little storage space for the driver and front seat passanger. Electrical outlets conflict with the cupholder locations and the cupholders are very small. Front center console is mounted too far rearward and is not easily accessable to the driver.
Good idea-too many problems
I like the concept, design, styling, ride and performance. All of the reviews were very positive so I bought one. The front seats could use more support. Although the turning radius is tight the steering could be quicker. The first time I tried to use the 4wd the drive train computer fried. Next, the electric mirrors malfunctioned. I have to take it back a third time for that. Then the front wheel bearing seals began to squeal and had to be replaced.All this happened in the first 10k miles. If this keeps up I'm dumping it and Chevy.
Ok when not in shop
Overall I've had a pretty decent experience with my trailblazer other than when it has been in the shop to fix recall problems. Other than the recall things, I haven't had any trouble with it. It has a very nice and comfortable design for travel or family. It has a lot of room in it. I use it to pack up our group's sound equipment which there is a lot of and I can tote all of that in the back plus the 5 of us in the front comfortably.
