What owners wrote
I own a 2002 trail blazer ext. I bought it brand new and I have had many many problems with it. I finally have had it and decided to see if the internet reported any similar problems and to my amazement there are many people out there with the same problems, but here is my story. I have had to have the brake lights electrical system on both sides replaced, molding around the license plate frame repaired, oxygen sensor replaced, sway bars replaced, windshield wiper motors replaced, left side passenger window motor…
The check engine light came on. I took the 2002 chevrolet trailblazer to the dealer, who determined the gas tank leaked from the top of the tank where the gas entered. There was no way this could occur from wear and tear. This was a defect in the workmanship, product liability. It will cost approximately $800 for repairs.
