Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The wipers stop half way across the windshield making it impossible to see when it is raining. Regardless of the speed of the wipers. This is going to cause an accident. I have only had this vehicle for about 2 months. My disabled son has to ride in this vehicle. It needs to be safe and GM could care less. Something needs done. This is an on going issue with all trailblazers. Gm will not acknowledge this fact.”
