Chevy Trailblazer Used Buying Guide: Known Issues

• One of the issues that the Trailblazer experiences is something that Chevy has to deal with themselves.
• Some parts of the vehicle work in tandem to create one issue, making it so that you have to look at multiple areas of the vehicles.
• Here at Burlington, we have multiple packages, and services that will cover most, if not everything that was mentioned here.

Over the years, the Trailblazer has accumulated some problems. The most common problems are with the ignition system, infotainment system, braking system, noise, and vibration. Despite these issues JD Power has given the vehicle an 86 out of 100 for reliability, making it one of the best small SUVs on the market. This makes it one of the best vehicles for families who want a bit of excitement in their life.

Diving deeper into these issues will reveal what the exact problems are. The ignition system saw the vehicle not start by either being unresponsive, or the engine will crank, but the vehicle fails to start.

The infotainment system will sometimes be sluggish, or even outright freeze. While this isn’t something that will affect how you drive, it will be something that is extremely annoying when trying to swap between navigation, and music, as well as other connected apps.

For the braking system, things can feel a bit different than what you’re used to. When going to brake, you may notice that the Trailblazer has longer stopping distances than usual, while other drivers reported having a strange feel when pressing in the brake pedal. This not only can be dangerous, it may affect how you feel as a driver by lowering your confidence behind the wheel.

The noise and vibration go hand in hand. While you may not notice these issues at lower speeds, they will appear at higher speeds. After an investigation by Chevy, it was determined that this was caused by uneven tire balance, and issues within the drivetrain. If left unchecked, it won’t be dangerous, but it will make it hard to love your Trailblazer. Making it harder for the average family to stay quiet about the issue.
