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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My 2002 Trailblazer transmission cooler line failed when we went to replace it we were told that both lines had to be replaced ( only 1 was bad) because GM redesigned this part if the part was redesigned then they must have realized a mistake and this should have been recalled. We were lucky we noticed ours leaking when we did. We saw smoke and stopped before a fire. Now waiting on parts to fix, dealer item only and not in stock. Trailblazer not old enough for this to be happening.
There were no events that took place before this happened. The failure was a coupling on the high pressure transmission line. The transmission fluid sprayed onto exhaust manifold and started a major engine fire. Nothing has been done at this time.
