Chevrolet TrailBlazer Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Feb | 2011 | 85000 | 200 | Stabilitrak light intermittently on. Dealer in VA said system needed to be "reprogrammed" but recurred months later. New dealer in PA said steering position sensor, but part was out of stock. Returned for replacement with no problems since. Had pads replaced 10k miles ago at dealer. Appx 1k miles on new pads and a metallic scraping sound was noticed. Dealer said they could not replicate. At 5k miles, again, could not replicate. 10k, once again, could not replicate. |
| Mar | 2011 | 86000 | 60 | Noise (metallic scraping) was found to be rust and brake dust buildup on rear caliper. This was determined after demanding a technician go for a drive with me so they could hear what I heard. No noise since. |
| Apr | 2011 | 88000 | 2 | Engine light intermittently on. Dealership could not find code. Purchased my own code scanner and found two codes pertaining to EGR and TPS (low voltage). Cleaned throttle body at home and cleared codes. Vehicle runs better than ever. |
| Aug | 2011 | 93000 | 530 | Transmission cooler lines replaced after noticing transmission fluid dripping from underside (no abnormal mechanical operation). All four lines were corroded; two failed. Replaced all four lines to ensure no future problems. |
