I found this web link that lists a variety of owner complaints to the (NHTSA) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on all years of the Chevy Trailblazer. Some of the information is useful & disheartening.

I feel that sites like that are heavily biased by people who don't know what they're talking about.

Example:

Nothing that snow tires and driving slower won't fix. Even if it was 4wd doesn't mean that it would have traction and not spin out.

I agree with Garth, a lot of the folks are just the usual clueless type who don't know the simplest of things about any vehicle they own and don't try to research problems and rely on the stealership.

I do agree with you both in general, Garth & Capote. Biggest complaints I had read were about the transmissions (4L60E), but that could be due to lack of fluid & filter maintenance.

 

[Capote]

I bet that's what a lot of it was

It's a complaints site. What do you expect? ALL vehicles have problems. Some more than others. Transmissions are usually the most problematic for any manufacturer.

Lets look at the "worst" year; 2005 with a total of 878 complaints. That's out of a total production of 244,150 for that year. That's 0.36% of all trucks. In reality, It's probably higher due to not everybody reporting their problems there. Mostly whiners and those that got screwed by dealers complain.

I call that site BS!

At that complaint tho.... I thought I was stupid.. Well apparantly I'm smarter than I think

The complaint is the truck didn't come with 4WD, that's because YOU bought a 2WD farkstick!

Jesus Christ on a cracker, some people should be sterilized at birth.

I think some of these complaints are justified for the Trailblazer, lets face it there's certain issues that keep popping up on the board more then others. Not knocking the Trailblazer down, but when you change out parts and are still experiencing issues, you gotta wonder...
