This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, Chevrolet has dropped the high-line LTZ trim level. Power-adjustable pedals, a DVD-based navigation system, automatically locking doors and XM Satellite Radio are new features this year. The instrument panel now sports a freshened monochromatic look. The North Face Edition package gets unique 17-inch wheels, while all models get new 17-inch aluminum wheels.

Pros:
  • Strong engine performance, comfortable highway ride, extensive features list, user-friendly controls.
Cons:
  • Skittish handling around corners, numb steering, generic interior design, low-grade interior materials.

  • This SUV stinks - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    My wife and I bought this new and within three months it was in the shop for a loud noise in the engine compartment. After four tries the body shop guy drove it and found the problem. Part of the inside body kit was not put on right at facotry. Not long after that problem was fixed this piece of junk started stalling out on my wife at 60mph. Six times to the dealership, couldnt find problem, I suggested throttle body and sensors. Finally problem fixed when the throttle body and mass air flow sensor got replaced. Will not buy another Chevy.

    Squeaks and rattles after 8000 lbs. Low residual value. Poor brakes. Poor steering. Power window and lock buttons feel sloppy, junky. Sour odor from HVAC vents due to mold in ducts.

  • Family Perfection - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    My 2004 Trailblaizer gives the ride of a full sized vehical. The interior is well liad out for convients as well as hardee look . The third row seat is perfect for children so they will have their own space. Its not to bad for the parents either. Iam very pleased with the sturdyness of my vehical. Last month my wife was hit in the passenger door and rear door by a 99 accord . The accord was totaled . The trailblazer was driven away with very little damage. My seven yearold dauther was sitting in the seat where the vehical was hit and was not hurt.So I like the look ,the way it drive and all the extras but I love knowing that my family is safe.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the quietness of this vehicle. Performance is very good for the Inline 6 cylinder as compared to earlier V6s. This SUV has many standard features that are optional on some others.

  • Love my TrailBlazer but... - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

    I love the way my gray SUV changes colors depending on what it is parked next to and time of day. It can be green one minute then brown or black or purple. Just park it next to a large building of the color desired and voila, it becomes that color! If you have ever seen the Nascar # 24 at night, you will see what I mean. I guess GM and Dupont got together on this color so as to give the public a "new" feature to toy with. Now for the bad news. It drinks more fuel than a V-8 ! Had I known this I would have bought a V- 8 for the extra power and torque that. Granted my wife drives it daily on a round trip to work of less than 3 miles a day, but almost zero traffic and few stops. This makes for 9 to 11 mpg!

    Had rattle near front wheels. Had dealer guy ride and he said it was R/I front sway bar. dealer replaced both front stabilizer links and that fixed the rattle(01/04/04). Now I hear it coming back(sept/04). Is there a lub I can apply or is there a permanent fix? Comments anyone. Thanx all.

  • Trailblazer Value - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    I have found the Chevy trailblazer to be a reliable car with plenty of room and very reliable in all weather conditions found in the Northeast USA. Although I would have liked more choices for the standard interior I disagree with the critics that it has a "cheap" appearance. One of the reasons I chose this vehicle was for the comfort it offers to individuals like myself who are over six feet tall...I shopped about 20 vehicles in this category (including the ones they "highly" recommend) and found Chevy offered the most SUV for the money.

  • Needs improvement - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    Had problems with mine. Wheel wells kept falling down, trim around doors fell off several times, transfer case had to be rebuilt at 33,000. Vibration in drive train transferred to rattle under dash that caused me to dump the thing. I couldnt stand being in it when the rattle/vibration started. Never buy one again, ever. Recommend not buy!
