Ten problems related to structure have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl * the contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the spare tire hoist had malfunctioned by not releasing the spare tire. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that there was no repair for the failure, but they could remove the spare tire for him. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were approximately 65,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The front passenger door has not worked properly from the time I purchased the vehicle. The door was not air tight and would let in air & rain in. I brought it back to the dealer several time and after approximately a couple weeks the problem will start again. The whole air-conditioning system has failed, the blower goes on and off by its self; but when you try and turn it on it will not turn on. This includes the defroster and heater it makes driving very hazardous when the windows fogs up. I was told by my mechanic that this is a problem with the Trailblazers; he has seen a large number of Trailblazers with the same problem along with problems with the back hatch glass separating from the hinge. This has also happened to my Trailblazer and makes it impossible to open the glass or the entire hatch. I love my Trailblazer but disappointed with all the problems I have had with the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact experienced difficulty closing the front driver's side door. The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop and the technician stated that the failure was related to the bushing and striker plate. The front driver's side door dropped half an inch. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop for the same failure on both the front and passenger side doors. The authorized dealer was notified and stated that the repair would cost approximately $300-$600 per door. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 82,000 and current mileage was 88,000.
The roof rack to my 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer blew off while driving home from the shore on the atlantic city expressway. There was no prior damage or accident to the vehicle to cause such a problem. We were informed that our car was not the first case. The dealer did fix the roof rack but I'm concerned that it will happen again if no adjustments are made to the design. There is a glue strip that holds the bottom portion in place. This is an accident waiting to happen.
My 2003 trail blazer there is so much wind around the vehicle it sounds like a window is open and it so nerve racking you can not hear in order to try and drown out the noise I have to blast the radio. And when it rains water comes inside the doors and the back hatch I have taken it back to the dealer several times.
While traveling on the highway and without warning, the front grill fell off.
The center console located between the driver and passenger seats does not fit correctly. The tray allows objects to fall down near the transmission. The objects can only be removed if the console is taken out by the dealer. The consumer feels this is a poor design.
Rear spoiler molding (3rd brake light) flew of vehicle while driving down state highway at approximately 55 mph.
Vehicle has poor visibility in the rear due to a high head rest, seat back, and the railing between the windows.
2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer: opening in vehicle where critters can get in to stay warm/ problems with ac/heating. The design of the heater box has an opening where small critters (mice/chipmunks)are able to get in and stay warm. The consumer is unable to use the heat or a/c because it sounds like something is caught. The dealer and the manufacturer only suggested that the consumer use moth balls.
