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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Have had many of the problems I read on posted complaints: New engine required within nine months-one year of owning new vehicle, inside driver door panel replaced three times, change oil and service engine lights staying on, hood not closing properly, back glass needing replacement, fabric problems in back seat, etc., etc. And this morning it is a $200 problem with the headlight switch. Too many things to even remember or name, but Chevy has a pretty thick file on me and my vehicle.
Transmission went out couldn't drive-repaired/ rear window won't roll-up/seatbelt won't retract, later fixed, but still won't work on occasion/ brake lights have gone out 5+ times repaired still not operational/ water pump exploded/rear window won't lock first try/ check engine llight stays on.
Consumer stated that without warning the hatchback exploded. Dealer notified. Vehicle was parked in the driveway. Consumer believed it was a design flaw. The arms to open the window forced the glass outward up to 10 feet. If the glass goes, the arms are forced to open like two catapults. Dealer refused to acknowledge the problem and correct it under warranty.
