Trailblazer 6 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

THESE VEHICLES ARE A PIECE OF SH*T!. I have a 2005 Trailblazer I have had for a year and a half I did buy it used..it had 48,000 miles..it now has 70,000 and there has been over 6,000 thousand dollars in repairs already, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL, TRANSMISSION,.now there is shaking in front end when stopping at red light or stop sign the steering column is making ALOT of noises..I just put new toyo tires on and the right tie rod end had to be fixed..now shaking is WORSE THAN EVER! the AC broke and wouldnt work on 4 or 5!..

I PAID FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY and it only covered 1,000 dollars out of over 6,000!!! I had it 3 weeks and I noticed it trying to slow down and then speed up when I went over 30mph and found out it had TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAK..i called dealership and they basically told me f*ck you stupid bitch .

I have taken vehicle a few times already for shaking and stalling. Nothing has been fixed because according to Hayward, CA Chevy, nothing is wrong. The car was still under warrantee through Chevy.

problem #2

Jan 272009

Trailblazer LS 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,000 miles

The problem started suddenly missing like a spark plug was bad and check engine light came on. Chevy dealer said complete loss of pressure #1 cylinder. However this same problem happened about 2000 miles ago and the solution at that time was to replace the distributor.

problem #1

Nov 072008

Trailblazer LS Stright 6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,000 miles

Dealer said it might be cylinder #3 not working so they need to take a part whole engine, they said I might even need a new engine, I haven’t had a car for over a week what the hell that’s why I bought a new car so I wouldn’t have stupid car problems
