2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT 4.2 6 Automatic from Saudi Arabia

Summary:

Incredible vehicle

Faults:

- Noise coming when driving, you can hear high sound of winds.

- Driver and passenger windows don't close completely when you drive over 130 KM/H.

- The front of car is low it should be higher. When I drive in desert some times the front end of the car crashed in the sand.

- Cassette and CD are always hot.

General Comments:

- Very very powerful car.

I have been using my TrailBlazer 4WD for nearly one year (more than 37000 km) and I drove it almost in all conditions: inside the city, on highways, passing the desert, over the mud, over coasts, rising sand and stone hills. In fact I just arrived from a desert trip for 10 days. We passed over 1500 KM in this trip just in sands, my brother's car stuck in sands many times and I pulled his car every time, my car was full filled with bags and other stuff. Up to date, I did not face any serious problems with my TrailBlazer.

- Comfortable when driving and easy handling.

If you did not drive TrailBlazer before, you may not understand what I mean by comfortable. It is stable, easy handle vehicle no mater where or when you are driving. Simply it is ready to take you wherever you want to go.

2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ 270 HP V6 from North America

Summary:

Overrated

Faults:

Excessive fan noise.

Car loses power when fan cuts on.

Power mirrors don't function.

Power seats went out.

Entire computer replaced.

Rubber molding on outside came unglued.

Shifting was not smooth-particularly when stopping at a light.

Heater did not operate.

Air conditioner was temper mental and would not always function.

General Comments:

This car is like a favorite shirt with no buttons. It's useless.

Loved the look, loved the interior (tough driver's seat lacks lateral support).

Had nothing but problem after problem. The truck spent the last few weeks I had it in the shop. They claimed to have fixed all issues (the same ones it had been in for before)...they pulled the truck around to me, and it was roaring like a mack truck.

Could not have been more disappointed with the quality of car---or service. Will never buy another Chevrolet.

**Car suffered from loss of 1/2 power when the fan and fan clutch kicked in. This resulted in my almost being hit once as I pulled out and the car lost power. Chevrolet could have cared less---national service told me that this was "normal." Sound normal or safe to you?

Your reference to losing power when the fan/fan clutch kicks in does not quite ring true. Although I am not an automotive engineer, I believe the fan on the trailblazer runs continuously. The fan clutch you refer to is a oil viscous dampened device that reduces fan speed as you increase your RPM, hence the faster you drive the slower the fan spins and less horsepower it consumes. What you are feeling I suspect is the air conditioning compressor kicking in. This is the single most power consuming accessory on the engine and many vehicles including my V8 suburban display this sudden loss in power when the compressor clutch is engaged.

2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ 4.2 inline six from North America

Summary:

Awesome creation

Faults:

The door mirror recall function wouldn't work properly. The mirror actuator switch had to be replaced.

General Comments:

Chevy really out did themselves this time, by creating a new vehicle.

This Sport Utility Vehicle is very comfortable to drive.

It has power to spare entering the highway and passing traffic.

The only creature comfort missing is a entry key pad on the door.

There should also be a means for water to drain between the lift gate and the rear bumper.
