2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ from North America - Comments

"The vehicle is good, but the extra money to upgrade to the luxury LTZ is not best spent"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The heat only works when the digital temperature is set at 90 degrees.

The power mirror recall button fails to consistently function properly.

The rain sensing windshield wipers are sporadic.

General comments?

The lateral support of the leather drivers seat is poor. The driver feels like they are leaning to the right and to the back. This is surprising based on the comfort of the top of the line leather seats in the Chevy Avalanche.

The noise of the heater fan is very distracting.

The seat belts are in a very difficult position to reach.

The running boards add to the appeal of the vehicle looks, but are in the way when trying to exit the vehicle.

The sunroof is extremely noisy when open in either position.

The vehicle has a smooth ride, but is a bit noisy at high speeds, wind noise, tire noise.

The v6 provides more than enough power for normal driving conditions, as well as, towing a boat.

The vehicle handles exceptionally well.

You stated the vehicle had a V6 engine. That's wrong.

The Chevy Trailblazer came with only the one engine L6 4.2L. In 2003 the optional engine is a V8. The L6 4.2 liter engine has 270 hp, while the 2003 L6 4.2 has 275 hp. Odd the 2003 V8 only has 280 hp. and is available in the extended model.

Otherwise the article was very well written.

I'm thinking that this must be your first sunroof, because every sunroof is going to be noisy while open. If you don't like the noise keep it closed.
