2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer from North America - Comments

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 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.

Wait until you're on your third power steering pump and I've only had my '02 Trailblazer EXT for 1 year. Oh yeah, watch out when the thing switches into 4WD without turning the 4WD switch.

The brake lights went out again, the dealer replaced the whole tail light assemblies and board. It was a problem and there is a service bulletin out for it. It shouldn't happen again.

Nothing else has gone wrong though, very reliable vehicle, it started in -44 degree weather (of course the power steering pump buzzed like crazy, but it is fine now that it is warm.)

I have one of the bad ones too. Mine has been in the shop 7 times in 1 1/2 years. Tail lights twice, steering shaft, molding, air conditioning, door leaking, now a they are ordering a stabilizer for the front end. My sister bought an 04 trailblazer. Good luck to her. I learned my lesson from this NEVER buy a car the first year it is made.

I also have an 02 LT... Mine has been to the shop 6 times in 2004. Air conditioning sensor, outside temperature control sensor, fog lights, brake lights, radio lights, transmission module control, 4wd reprogram module, emergency brake cable, rusted hatch bolts and numerous others. Overall... It runs good.. When it's not in the shop. I think the biggest problem with this truck is the electrical issues. Too many computers and programs...

My trailblazer has been in the shop about 12 times now and still has to go back for three broken door latches. windshield molding blew off while driving down the road on vacation. wiper motor had to be replaced. blows out hot air. tires had to be replaced jumped out of line. molding around door loose.wouldn't shift. and numerous of other things wrong. here that lots of owners are having problems to. would never buy another one again. car is in the shop all the time or waiting to be fixed. only has 45,000 miles.

NOTHING, but PROBLEMS

I bought a used 02 TrailBlazer EXT 3 months ago. Here is the list of problems I've had:

Transmission, Power Steering Pump, Seal on back hatch door, Brakes, Tie Rod, and 4WD Module. It has been in the shop for nearly a month of the 3 months I've owned it.

Buyers Beware!!!

Problems with the SUV tbz 2002,not only in the USA, try in Mexico Too, I buyed a new one direct from the dealer and I experienced problems with "the aceleration module",leaking back doors, a/c with episodes of warm air, sometimes hot, tail bulbs I decide to change to LED, s and, who knows what`s next.So, beware.

I bought my 2002 Trailblazer LTZ about 6 months ago. The previous owner took great care of this vehicle. I keep reading all the the terrible reviews on this and I am just amazed. I Love my trailblazer, I have not had any of the problems others are talking about. Although I have had to replace the Fan clutch. Other than that, I love it and I would definitely buy another one.

I love my 2002 trailblazer, 155,000 miles and still running strong.
