2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT review from North America
"If if wouldn't hurt my credit, I'd return the vehicle and walk away!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel injectors are burning out at 43,000 miles. We had one fixed and the same day another went bad. The replacement cost for each injector was $350. Later the same week, the other 4 injectors had to be replaced. After complaining to the service department about this problem, we were told by the head service mechanic that fuel injectors are being replaced at a rate of 4 to 5 per week, and that he doesn't know why Chevrolet hasn't recalled the vehicle for this problem. This is a very expensive mechanical problem for customers to correct.
General comments?
I've driven many Chevrolets since I started driving nearly 30 years ago. I've received more recall notices on this vehicle than I have all other vehicles combined. This makes me wonder if Chevrolet really did it's homework before putting this new motor on the road.
