2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT EXT review from North America
"Not reliable for this kind of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starting - ignition problems (multiple occurrences)
Battery (delco) went out in 1st year.
Transmission problems.
Wind noise.
General comments?
Ignition switch problems have occurred multiple times. The dealer originally could not diagnose the problem so they replaced the shifter etc. only to find that that did not solve the problem - problem: not able to remove the key from the ignition or at times not start the car. 2 years ago they replaced the ignition switch and now the problem is back. Not a reliable vehicle!!!
Transmission is clunky on shifting. 4 wheel drive, but I am concerned that I am heading for major trans. repairs. I have maintained this vehicle meticulously.
WIND NOISE - WOW. What a joke. The 2 front windows were so noisy that you thought you were outside. I had to buy some custom window deflectors which solved some of the problem.
The junky delco battery failed after 1 year. How can GM put this type of junk in their cars?
