2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT 4X4 review from North America
"Will not buy another GM vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this SUV brand new in Jan of 03.
Right off the bat I had problems with the radio. A couple years went by and nothing else.
Now I have a gas tank leak; there is a crack in the filler neck. This is a very common problem, and it is a very flawed design. My husband JB Welded it and seems to be OK for now.
Also like many others, my fan clutch went bad. Total repairs for the thing were $1,800.
I called GM; they said I had to take it to their mechanic and they MIGHT help out. Why haven't they recalled these items? My mechanic didn't want me to leave with the car because it was so dangerous to drive; one spark and it would have been over. Does GM care about customers at all? I couldn't afford repairs. I wonder how many are out there just like me.
