  Really Disappointed - 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By Not Happy - December 1 - 12:10 pm

  MPG= 15 regardless of city/highway. This vehicle has spent more time in the dealers shop than my garage. Trans, rear defr, a/c, engine bearing, brakes have all been serviced, some of them twice. Im not hard to please, but this is the worst vehicle ive ever owned from a maintenance standpoint. (and they keep trying to upsell me some $500 maintenance package everytime i go to the dealer). I never had these issues with the Tahoe I owned prior to this.

  Worst Vehicle Ever - 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By disappointedcustomer - February 28 - 1:16 pm

  The first year of ownership was great...after that it went totally downhill! It has been in the shop more than all of my previous vehicles combined. Air bag problem, emblem fell off, rear wiper went bad, bumper warped and was replaced, steering problem that cant seem to be fixed, fuel tank replaced, three of the doors have had panels replaced (a couple more than twice) and Im sure to suffer from more. Glad I bought an extended warranty since I have used it twice already. Cant get rid of it since the value isnt worth anything.

  Wouldnt buy another one. - 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By ajbrumbaugh - October 14 - 11:29 pm

  We bought our 2006 Trailblazer approximately 3 years ago, so the vehicle would have been 3 years old. Since that time we have had to replace the switch for the windows because they quit working. Now the motor acts like it will give out anytime. The heater fan at a cost of $400, the fuel gauge quit, which is quite the production because they have to drop the whole fuel tank. Chevrolet does have a recall since they have had this problem often so they will reimburse you for half. My check engine light comes on every so often along with the "skid" light. When they decide to they dont go off for awhile. Now it is rusting on the doors.

  Good News & Bad News - 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By Pch1972 - October 11 - 10:16 pm

  Good News: Has lot of power, and its comfortable for 3 kids, and 2 dogs. Bad News: 1 week after purchase, the air bag light kept coming on. Needed a new sensor. Then the OnStar would not work properly. Had to have that fixed. This winter, the molding on the hatch broke, last month, the starter was stuck. Luckily this was all under warranty. Not too happy with my Blazer being in the shop 4 times since the purchase of it 5 months ago.

  Workhorse - no glamour - 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By nicholas slater - March 2 - 9:23 am

  Guzzles gas (not good right now), no frills, reliable workhorse. I would not buy another one though, as I do not feel it is value for the price.
