All four brake rotors needed to be replaced at 33,500 miles, at a cost to me of over $700.
The rear wiper cannot be made to stay in contact with the glass.
Replaced both brake lamps before 30,000 miles.
The switch for the heater fan stopped responding to positions 1,2,or 3 at 28,000 miles.
The driver's door pad separated from the door (top forward position) at 15,00 miles.
The driver's sun visor cannot be made to stay in full forward position - has been unusable from day one.
Have had trouble with right rear door weather stripping coming lose repeatedly.
The driver's window does not recede fully into the door - hard on one's arm when driving with the window down.
I really like this truck, great to drive, engine as good as any I've owned.
Serious deficits in the design of the center of dash and console, almost certainly the worst out there.
Seats comfortable, ride outstanding.
Build quality and reliability issues will push me to another vehicle when this lease is up.
WRT the comment about the rear wiper, this happened on our trailblazer and happened on every single SUV/van we have had with the rear wiper. What happens is on a really wet/slushy/muddy day the rear tires spray really dirty water all over the back, the dirt and grit gets in all the joints of the rear wiper and the main spring/hinge cannot pivot freely so the wiper doesn't get pressed into the glass.
All you need to do is get a big water bottle, fill it up and blast out all the hinges including the large main one near where the arm goes into the body then move the wiper away from the back and let it snap back a few times. Any good pressure water in the hinges would do the job (garden hose etc)
Obviously the front wipers don't get so much dirt sprayed all over them so it doesn't happen.
Yes rear wiper is a bad design. I have had problems with the 4 wheel drive and now at 50,000 miles the transmission
has gone bad. The brake rotors are also bad.
