2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT inline 6 cylinder
Summary:
Excellent vehicle
Faults:
My 2002 Trailblazer with 89,000 miles developed the well documented problem with the fan clutch. Since the car was at the dealership to check for the recall item regarding the fuel tank, I had them replace the fan clutch in July. I have a GEICO extended warranty so cost is not an issue yet. Failed again in August, they replaced at no charge. Failed again this week, going back tomorrow for third time. Anyone else having problem with multiple failure of the fan clutch? Water pump was also replaced, so that's not it. Any information on a recall or better fix? I have owned the vehicle since it was new and have had no other significant issues. Great vehicle unless this can't be taken care of.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

We have owned our 2002 EXT Trailblazer since it was new also. We have 109,000 miles on it and I just replaced the spark plugs for the first time. The only problem I could not get resolved was the drivers side headlight harness melting. This happened to us 3 times within a years time. I finally replaced both headlight assemblies with after market ones. At about 105,000 I had to replace the fan clutch assembly. These are the only problems we have had with our trailblazer and with the cost of new vehicles will probably run it for another 100,000 miles. It is great for long trips with the built in DVD system.

I purchased my 2002 Trailblazer EXT new and the only real problem I had with the vehicle was having to replace the electronic ignition on 2 occasions.
