Trailblazer

  • Automatic transmission
  • 89,000 miles

I was working in traveling sales when my husband went to warm up the car and it would not start. We had the tow truck come and pick it up he said the fuel pump was bad and we had to replace it. Over 500.00 later it got fixed and I had to quit my job ... lots of fun.

Trailblazer EXT V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

Car randomly overheated, towed it in... water pump was out. Had repaired but car continued to heat up at idle. Next told the fan clutch was also out, in addition to the fuel level sensor. At this point my 2005 trailblazer with 70,000 miles had a list of $1,700.00 worth of repairs needed and at 4 years old was only worth $10,000 trade in. Bought new for $30,000. Chevy needs to stop allowing the unions to have a stranglehold on them and stop cutting corners on the cars.
