2001 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ from North America - Comments

Rear brake rotors and calipers had to be replaced before 2000 miles.

During first 90 days, problems with intermittent airbag light.

Intermittent airbag light problem is still going on. First it was a dirty connector which was cleaned. Then the passenger airbag was replaced. Now they are replacing the driver airbag.

Problem with the four wheel drive selector. Light on dash switches between four wheel drive and two wheel drive. Dealer replaced module.

Four wheel indicator problem continues, and a different module was replaced. Service four wheel drive light has appeared numerous times. Dealer indicates the problem may now be a switch since they have replaced the four wheel drive module.

Upon starting the car, the engine runs, but no dash lights or gauges. Dealer replaced computer module, problem has not occurred since.

The dealer service department is professional and courteous to work with. I have no complaints with the efforts of the dealership or the service staff.

The car simply has too many electrical problems that do not appear to be easily identified or resolved.

You apparently have a damaged wiring harness. This usually happens where it goes through the fire wall. The dealer can change all the parts he want, it will not fix the problem. You will have all kinds of phantom problems until the wiring harness is fixed. To prove this you take a high potential meter and connect the ground to the chassis. Everything on the harness must be unplugged. The high potential meter can damage electronic devices. After this check each wire that is not ground potential. The meter tells you if the insulation is good on the wire.

You should have stuck with Ford. Chevy/GM are always bloody lemons.

WRT to the last comment, I have to disagree, both Ford and Chevrolet have proven themselves to us to be very reliable, after a bad 1995 windstar, that is the only bad vehicle we have had from either brand. ALL the Chevys we have had have been excellent.

Chrysler is a different story, we have never and will never buy a Chrysler vehicle, make your own opinions of them, we stay away from Chrysler.

I have had the same problem with the 4x4 dash light. They replaced the modular. But the same problem still exists. The mechanics said it was our fault, we were putting the 4x4 on wrong. Low and behold the problem still exists after taking it in 3 times. Never again will I buy this piece of crap.

I don't know what is going on here. I had cars from many different companies and they were all pretty good. There are somethings that go wrong, but that is technology. I am not always in the best of moods myself.

Things will break, get a live.

My 2002 LTZ has proven to be reliable, and an exciting well-designed ride. I have determined, that given all the units manufactured, there will be a few glitches... Get over it! get it fixed, and be glad you didn't buy the Land-Rover! This Chevy product is my answer to the mid-sized SUV needs I was looking for. All vehicles have problems... the ones mentioned her are minute, considering ALL the things that COULD go wrong!

I have to agree with these people that say things break so get over it. I have a 2002 LTZ and I haven't had a single problem with the car yet; it's a fantastic piece of machinery as far as I'm concerned. And things could be A lot worse. I had a car that was in the shop EVERY month and the bill was always at least $500. So comparatively, you have nothing to worry about if there are a few electrical problems going on.

To the guy who made the Chrysler comment, Chrysler is just as good as your Found On Road Dead piece of crap. The reason why people have bad luck with them is because they think they're Honda's, and they're NOT! If you go by your owners book, you get it serviced on time by people who know what they're doing, they will run forever.

Everyone can have their own opinion about what brand is the best. I don't know about anyone else, but it seems the more technologically advanced automobiles become, the more they break down. I have never seen so many people drive such pieces of crap. In the muscle car era, you drive the crap out of your car and it would keep right on going. Today, if you did that, the car would be done before the warranty is up. This is just my observation, you can make your own judgement.

I have to disagree with that Chrysler comment. They can be serviced by the manual and they still suck.

I had a 2000 Dodge Durango that I bought from my aunt when it was one year old, and she said don't buy it, it has too many problems, let some loser buy it and be sorry. Well I didn't listen and bought it, and what do you know, it was in the shop every week. I missed school 11 times because it would stall on the highway and I had to deal with the truancy people. I even voted my car the worst car in my high school, and even a 1992 Ford Taurus that was falling apart didn't run as bad. And didn't get worst car of the school.
