2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT review from North America
"Overall good, but not good enough for a repeat purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Four wheel drive switch.
Fan clutch.
Cosmtic interior, dye off dash.
General comments?
How about that! All of these TrailBlazers have the same PROBLEM, but we are expected to accept this as a CHARACTERISTIC. “Jet engine” sound and “service engine soon” light always on. I just received a quote for approximately $600 to replace the fan clutch with no guarantee that the CHARACTERISTIC (problem) would be completely resolved, or would not reoccur. As a faithful owner of both new and used GM products since the ‘70s I found it hard to believe that this was not a recall. I too expected GM to stand behind the product and correct a widespread problem. Instead I find a multitude of other poor schmucks that will have paid this out of pocket repair for what is obviously a product defect. Is it any wonder GM business is falling “Like a Rock”?
KP.
