Why the 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?

Reliability & durability

This is not a bad vehicle, but in general it has required a more repairs than many other vehicle than I have owned. There are known weaknesses with every vehicle and the internet has made finding them very simple. The good news is that if you are inclined to do so, you can make most of the repairs yourself. The bad news is that some of the things are complicated and I would consider them as design flaws, but almost every vehicle has something that sucks. If you were not in a position to do so however you may be better off with something else, like a Honda or a Toyota It is a comfortable almost full size SUV that gets decent fuel economy. It has real 4WD including low range. Every town has a Chevy garage. Parts are not ridiculously expensive. Now that I have done most of the repairs it is a decent truck.

I have driven this truck for one year. I aquired ownership at 42,000 miles. At 44,000 I had to replace a sensor for the ' needs engine service light ' which cost me around $200. At 49,000 I had to replace the windshield wiper moter and this cost me $835. OUCH ! Front headlights are a pain to replace, part of the grille has to be removed so I have this done at the garage. My friend who is a master mechanic advises me that anything electrical on this truck is high maintenance and tricky. This truck is fun to drive but the electrical system is cryptic . All other components seem ok at 53,000 miles. Have monies held in escrow for repairs. This truck gives me the impression that it will last for a very long time though.
