2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LS review from North America
"Good ole Chevy; next I'll buy foreign"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pinstripe came off twice.
Brake lights replaced.
Shifter knob was loose and you could spin it all the way around. It was hard to put into park and would not go into drive.
Shifter linkage broke.
Rear wiper recalled and replaced.
Reconditioned transmission because there was no reverse.
4WD went out, fixed, still doesn't engage in Lo now.
4WD light wouldn't go off, separate problem, not sure what they did to fix it.
Left front inner fenderwell cover falling off, they pinned it back up.
Wouldn't start or do anything, cleaned battery cables, reattached anti theft cable.
Water pump and serpentine belt replaced.
And the most recent unfixed problem is the blower only working on settings 4 and 5. I heard that's about $600.
General comments?
Maybe it will be better now after 100,000 miles. Ha.
