Issues on top of issues

Purchased this vehicle brand new in September 2021. I put too many miles on it for any warranty or lemon law to apply but its become unsafe to drive! The screen comes on but stays blank and sometimes a random, extremely high pitched buzzing sound comes out of the speakers but is not able to be controlled by the volume. None of the radio buttons do anything. I think somewhere (not from any windows) rain water is finding its way in to the car and the electrical components because the issue coincided with another less annoying issue of extreme condensation build up on the insides of the windows when it sits for a few hours/overnight when it rains, despite all of the doors and windows being completely shut.

Best car of my life

I bought 2021 Trailblazer LT AWD brand new when it first came out, prolly one of the first here in SoCal. Had it for almost 2 years, and this thing still drives like new. Smooth, quick, techie, super fun to drive. Gas mileage is better then most cars out on the road. The 3 cylinder turbo engine can go! I’ve owned many cars in my life, I would have to say this is the best overall in terms of styling, efficiency, driving pleasure. Oh yea, and I take it up to Big Bear mountains every week up the windy road, and it excels! This car badass.

Decent baby SUV

Got a pretty good lease on a 2021 very noticeable blue Fwd. RS. Almost 20k miles on it already and has performed great so far. Gas milage is good, and as someone wrote in an early review, the vehicle is deceivingly all around quick. I'm most likely going to purchase it, at the end of the lease.

Great, fun-to-drive small SUV!

Bought a Trailblazer LS new in May 2021 (had it for 14 months) and love it. Surprisingly fun to drive for such a small engine - both in town and on the highway. Great tech for the price range. Haven't had a single problem with it - only been in the shop for oil changes.

Not a Happy Car owner right now

Mine has 35,000 miles and the fuel purge pump went out! Not covered under warranty or extended warranty 😡 cost me 525.00 to fix. Thought that getting a new car would keep me from having such issues for awhile

Very nice vehicle

After driving the 2021 Trail Blazer and the 2021 Equinox I chose the Trailblazer. More sporty and fit more in my budget. Love the color.

Love it!!

Traded in my clunky 2017 Chevy Equinox Premier for this spunky Trailblazer. It is everything I need and is a dream to drive. I love that with a push of a button it goes from AWD to 2WD! Great gas mileage and lots of get up and go!!
