When the Blazer reached the 4,000 mile mark, it's like it started to self destruct. The vehicle has numerous squeaks, rattles, and water leaks. Some have been corrected, some have not.
The transmission occasionally won't down shift into 1st gear when stopping, and thus takes off in second gear.
The front end had a major failure.
The driver's side seat frame creeks while driving.
The engine is very noisy and GM has a tech bulletin out on it, but as of right now, they don't have a fix for the counter balance shaft noise.
Fit and finish on this truck are very poor.
The front bumper will not align properly, yesterday I heard from the dealer and they stated the front of the frame was manufactured incorrectly.
The clockspring behind the airbag squeaks while turning the steering wheel.
As of this writing, I'm in a rental once again and the truck is trying to be repaired. They can fix it for someone else, because I'm pursuing a buy back from Chevrolet, and from what I'm hearing, it looks like it's going to happen.
I'm very disappointed in this vehicle, it had a 30,000 dollar sticker on it and in my opinion, it's not worth 30.00. Last night I bought another truck, and it's not a Chevy. I've had Chevy's all my life, but this is a sad situation, they lost a good customer due to the factory workers that assembled this truck.
I was in the same situation a few years ago. I was a ford driver for many years until I bought a 1998 F-150. It was the worst vehicle I had ever own. At the end of the warranty, it was traded for a Chevy Blazer.
I'm still upset because I lost a good chunk of money...
For me, Ford=never again...

MY 2003 Blazer zr2 is a piece of Crap. The day I took it off the lot the driver side window dropped and would not raise -- they said to tape it with plastic for a week while I waited in line. At first the truck sounded like it was falling apart -- now I'm convinced that it is. It is poorly build, with terrible squeaking and rattling. This thing had a 38000 Canadian sticker price and I can't sell it today for more than 12000 with only 60000km. This is possibly the worst truck on the road. They have replaced the stereo 3 times, new ball joints, electrical overhaul, two thermostats and in all, requiring 32 trips to the dealer -- by the way, they wouldn't even sell me a new truck -- in light of the fact that this thing is a piece of crap and there is 1 more year on the lease.
DON'T BUY ANY GM -- I'll be buying a Nissan or Honda next time around and, being young, GM lost a great opportunity to service an unhappy customer who is likely to buy a bunch of vehicles in his lifetime.
