2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ review from North America
"Love the look, what a let down!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic fan clutch:failed.
Water pump front hub bearing: failed.
4X4 selector switch: failed.
Windshield wiper motor: still fails, stops mid wipe.
Dash gage cluster: failed.
Cam positioning sensor: failed.
Oxygen sensor:failed.
Power mirrors: wander aimlessly.
Weather stripping around all 4 doors: unglued, falling off.
Unexplained loss of engine power: a number of PCM upgrades have been performed, engine still runs poorly.
Cruise control: fails often.
Heated seat no longer heats.
Exhaust manifold:cracked.
Mechanic has determined there's piston slap in the engine.
Service engine light is always happy to see me!
Something with the spare tire carrier? tire hangs down and bounces violently when you go over a bump, tried to tighten it with no luck!
General comments?
Bose premium sound system is awesome!
Cabin is very comfortable, but the ride isn't that great.
Very disapointed with GM service on this vehicle!
