CarComplaints.com Notes: The Trailblazer emerged from an "upscale trim line" of the Blazer, but there's nothing upscale about its transmission problems or its wonky, unpredictable headlights.

Trailblazer LS V6

Took the car to get a new battery. Two days later, low beam headlights stop working all together. Was told I need a new switch that controls the lights. Purchased it and had it put in. Still lights did not work. Returned the purchase. Still searching to see if others have this same problem. I found there were several ranging from the 2002 Trailblazers to the 2008 Trailblazers. I even checked the recall list. Nothing shaking there. Chevrolet need to do a better job because it is obviously a factory default. Anyone with any clues, need help!!!!

We have to go to a junk yard find a wrecked trailblazer remove whole light assembly where bulb goes because my car has two different style lights in it and have to re-wire new light. Then light keeps blowing out on both sides but not at same time

problem #1

(reported on)

Trailblazer LS 4.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 153,562 miles

It's becoming annoying, cumbersome, and expensive. I have to take off the entire grill and lamp hoods off quite often to replace these low-beam buls at $10 a pop. The lights constantly flicker as well. As much as I have been faithful to American cars, I am seriously doubting I will buy Chevy again.
