Faults:

Interior, vanity, and under hood lights inoperative. Body computer replacement fixed problem.

A/C stopped working, but came back the next day and has since been working.

Auto transmission second gear shift chatters twice when warm.

Transmission seems to shift at too high an RPM for normal driving.

Brake pedal is spongy.

Engine fan makes noise sometimes when first starting engine.

Rear seat belts are difficult to latch.

Cd's and tapes get very hot from playing.

One headlight bulb and one break lamp have burned out.

One tire is making a noise while driving.

The fuel economy is low for a six cylinder engine.

The driver's power window makes a loud squeaking noise when operating.

General Comments:

This vehicle is easy to drive.

The ride is very smooth, quiet and comfortable.

The handling is fair.

The standard sound system is good.

The engine has ample power when needed.

The On-Star system is very convenient.

The Chevy dealer has been great to work with.

I have taken this vehicle on one 2,600 mile trip and enjoyed it very much. It feels safe and stable on the road. I wish it got better fuel mileage. It gets 19 mpg on long trips and 17 mpg on my daily commute. All my passengers have commented about how comfortable the Trailblazer is to ride in.

Faults:

Air Conditioner blows warm air intermittently. Has been in for service eight times in first year and the problem still has not been corrected.

Tail lights and head lights repeatedly go out. I had to replace 8 bulbs before the dealer corrected the problem by replacing lamp assembly.

Radio would not hold a station. The radio had to be completely replaced.

The console was cracking and had to be replaced.

The bumper warped and had to be replaced.

General Comments:

General Motors obviously has several design flaws with the Trailblazer. There have been several recalls on the 2002 Trailblazer. I would strongly caution against buying this vehicle.
