Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In april 2007, the '04 Trailblazer's transmission failed. At the time the vehicle had less than 50,000 miles. I drive the car very well - mostly highway miles as I commute for work - and the vehicle had never been used to tow. The transmission was repaired at a Chevrolet dealer, and less than 2 months later, the transmission failed again. I am very unsatisfied with the quality of this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10194259, filed 2007-06, 48,000 miles“I have had my trail blazer for 1 yr and 1 month. In that time I have had to replace front and back pads and rotors, ball joints, catalytic (sp) converter, and now they just told me I have to replace the head gasket on the manifold. What the hell is going on with this vehicle. I no longer feel safe driving it. The other day the radio just stopped playing and then the service 4 wheel drive light came on.”

I took it to a repair shop and they said it would cost around $500 if not more to have them take apart my dash and look and then possibly send it out to seeif it can be fi.xed there are numerous people I have found online with this same problem with the same vehicle.”
