We purchased a '23 Trailblazer RS in the Spring of 2023. I loved the sporty appearance, compact SUV style, but mostly the suggested EPA. After leaving the dealership and traveling by Interstate, I immediately noticed the windows are tempered and not laminated, therefore, road noise was present. Not a deal breaker. The fuel economy IS phenomenal. I average 34mpg and I travel 40 miles round trip to work daily, plus a lot of city commute during the day. Received lots of compliments on the sporty appearance. In November 2023, my car began acting sluggish. Check engine light came on. Computer checked - it was faulty fuel injection system. Had vehicle towed to certified service center. Had to wait 5 days to get a rental and no loaners were available. Went ahead & advised of other issues I had noticed while vehicle was in shop: Rear left brake light didn't work (located on trunk), heated seats had left white markings on seat outlining the heat strips in the driver seat (was told GM would not replace because this was cosmetic), made them aware that the brakes have always squealed. After several weeks, was told me car was ready. Picked up on Wednesday or a Thursday. Friday morning all the coolant leaked out and the vehicle overheated and stalled out on top of a busy bridge. Towed back to service center. Was told yet again, there is not a loaner available and you have to wait 5 business days to get a rental. Therefore, I was without a vehicle AGAIN for multiple days. They called on day 5ish to let me know my car had been repaired and it was ready for pickup. Since then, I have had the following issues: BRAKE LIGHT STILL DOESN'T WORK (they said they replaced the assembly) Still have the white outline of heater strips in my black cloth driver seat. Apple Carplay and Radio randomly glitch out. Sometimes, when I go to crank vehicle, brake pedal gets so firm - you can't push it down to start vehicle - after a few tries, the brake pedal releases and then you can press it down. Screeching sound occasionally on cold starts. This week - the transmission began making a whining noise (assuming it's the transmission). The backglass sprayer stopped spraying - made sure it had fluid. Service Power Steering light popped up randomly one morning and went away about 5 minutes later. Randomly, the car will flash red dot lights on windshield and make a loud warning sound as if you are about to hit someone or something - I was traveling on interstate both times this happened with no vehicle in front of me or beside me. And yes, it will frighten you because it is so loud and sudden and unexpected. Vehicle is sluggish on inclines, including multi-level parking garages. When parked on a slight incline or slope, I will place vehicle in park, set parking brake, after setting brake and releasing foot from brake pedal, car will violently rock back & forth. The exposed styrofoam in the grille is pretty noticeable and looks odd. GM never reimbursed me on my two towing expenses as promised.

2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV 4dr SUV (1.3L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

I’m coming from a v8 camaro and stepped down to a 1.3L turbo 3. I honestly can say it doesn’t feel it’s lacking so much power. If you let the accelerator down easy the turbo has enough to get you up and going but not out you back into your seat. The steering is excellent in sport mode for what it is. I got the activ trim and it rides comfortably enough, which again coming from a sports car it doesn’t take much to have a softer ride. It’s not blow you away in anyone catergory but has plenty of power, turns well, lots of tech, lots of safety features and nice styling at a relatively cheap price point. I love my 2023 trailblazer!

I purchased my first SUV and it was a 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. Honestly, I am NOT too amused with it. I have had electrical, and mechanical issues with this vehicle. I am NOT happy!!! I should have stick with Honda or Nissan.. I purchased this vehicle because of the price range, but if I have to keep taking it to the dealership. I would rather trade it in. It drives good on the roads/highways. It good in weather? It is good on gas.
Really cold no blazing Heat

Purchased 23 Trailblazer right before we were expected to get a very cold snap I got a survey from Chevy asking me how the heat was I see why they sent a survey when we had our frigid temperatures and the temperature got below 20 and 10° and snow the front windshield defrost does not work it kept about six to eight inches of the windshield thawed out the rest was all ice 2000 miles on the car and the windshield wiper blades are destroyed had to pull over where I can find a spot during the snow and keep taking the ice off the windshield blades because the window could not stay hot enough finally got home let the car run for 2 hours and still could not get the windshield hot enough to melt the ice on the window my wife has a new SUV on encore we started that up once that car warmed up it was blowing hot air the Chevy Trailblazer lukewarm if you're lucky

It’s actually a pretty good lil suv to go zipping through town. Quite pleased with this lil gem. It is working out pretty good for me! Only downer, no back seat arm rest divider, with cup holders or air vents for back seat passengers. Come on Chevy, you could’ve included that on the LT!!
