2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer review from North America
"Serious design flaws--a lemon for sure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Conditioner blows warm air intermittently. Has been in for service eight times in first year and the problem still has not been corrected.
Tail lights and head lights repeatedly go out. I had to replace 8 bulbs before the dealer corrected the problem by replacing lamp assembly.
Radio would not hold a station. The radio had to be completely replaced.
The console was cracking and had to be replaced.
The bumper warped and had to be replaced.
General comments?
General Motors obviously has several design flaws with the Trailblazer. There have been several recalls on the 2002 Trailblazer. I would strongly caution against buying this vehicle.
