2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT review from North America
"I hate it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump failed at 55,000 miles.
Fan clutch failing at 56,000 miles.
General comments?
I have a 2002 Trailblazer with 56,000 miles on it. Had the water pump replaced a couple of months ago. Today, I called the dealership about the "jet engine" sound and they said the fan clutch is bad and will cost $650 to repair it. I will write an email to GM and include the link to this website so they can see the future business they are losing. I can't imagine why they would not recall these vehicles for this problem and risk losing $30K from each of us when we buy our next vehicle. We'll see. Japanese for me too (unless GM stands behind this)!
