2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT review from North America
"At 70,000, this truck is becoming too expensive to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My original plan for this truck was to own it until it was paid off. That's next month. I will have had the truck 5 years then. Well, it was too late. Last month, my clutch fan went at 69,500 miles at a cost of $743.
Yesterday, the differential went. After doing some research, I am finding that this is a common occurrence with 2003 Trailblazers. It seems to me that GM should be recalling the clutch fans.
General comments?
The clutch fan and differential should not have broken on this truck. There is a problem with the Chevy Trailblazers.
