Liked it so much I bought another one!

I bought a new Trailblazer in 2004 and ran up 139,000 miles. Loved it and always felt comfortable in it and when I had clients in it looking at homes. While I didn't have any issues with it...I thought it was time to get a new car and confidently sold it to a relative. I test drove the new Acadia and Traverse, but these don't ride the same way or sit the same as the Trailblazer does. I like to see where I'm going:) So I bought a used 2008 TB with low miles, leather and all the bling this time. I'm looking forward to putting another 100,000++ miles on this one! Hopefully Chevrolet will bring the Trailblazer back when I'm ready to change vehicles again.

Can't find problem

There have been times after vehicle has sat a couple to three days that the battery runs down to where vehicle won't crank. Once jumper cables are attached, it cranks fine. Vehicle is still in the shop and so far the electrical leak of the battery can't be found. Other then that, vehicle was just what we needed for chores, hard to do in a Cadillac xxx, so I traded it in for the Chevy. So far I have mixed reviews concerning this one vehicle. It is a Certified Vehicle too.

2007 chevy trailblazer

I have owned my trailblazer for about 1 yr. now and have been nothing but impressed with it. The 4x4 stabilitrack feature gives great handling in the snow and ice. The sound system is great. The on-star technology with hands free calling is state of the art.It seems to glide down the freeway at 70 mph.Thanks to the cars .com website for providing the information I needed to find this vehicle.

Reliable, Comfortable, But MPG Not Ideal

Bought a used 2008 TrailBlazer LT which is a nice looking vehicle and easy to handle. Suits my passenger and cargo needs well and it is very comfortable on trips. However, I get only about 14 MPG with city driving and perhaps 20 on the open road. I was aware of the MPG range when I bought the vehicle and apparently the price, comfort and styling won me over. The gas mileage is my only real criticism. I do like the vehicle and appreciate its 4WD capability in Midwest winter weather.

It has it's issues

I'm very pleased with my 07 TB LT with the following exceptions: ** Fuel Tank Float goes out on 75% of TB's ** Electrical issues, 3-4-5-6 stereo program lights go off and on when ever they want, 100% total power loss while driving due to bad ignition switch, cracked exhaust manifold. These are just a few I and other have had to go through. Think before you commit and search the web for more issues common to the TB's

BEST VALUE

Trailblazers are the best value around. When parked next to my full size extended cab four wheel drive pickup, it is almost the exact same size, yet costs thousands and thousands less. The Trailblazer is packed with features and driver comfort items and feels and drives and looks like a luxury vehicle. This is an extremely nice four wheel drive vehicle with great power and acceleration and will give you 20 mpg. I was surprised that the V8 engine gets the same, and sometimes better, gas mileage as the V6. Any mechanic will tell you a V8 is the preferred engine.
