CarComplaints.com Notes: The Trailblazer emerged from an "upscale trim line" of the Blazer, but there's nothing upscale about its transmission problems or its wonky, unpredictable headlights.

: the contact stated the airbag light illuminated upon initially starting the engine. The vehicle was inspected by an independent repair shop, who performed a diagnostic test which produced a failure code for the airbag sensor. There was a NHTSA recall, # 02V222000, regarding the air bags. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. The dealer was alerted, and the manufacturer was not contacted.
