Over all this vehicle has been good to me. Never left me stranded Just turning 94000 miles and still has factory brake pads. no plans on getting rid of it any time soon. Replacing the front end this summer and the rear shocks are starting to leak.

The mid-size SUV, a mixed bag.

Like the 4WD, not so much the engine. would like to swap in a Cummins 4-cylinder turbo diesel, tuned to at least 160 hp, giving 30-40 highway mpg with 3.42 axle ratio. Love the ride, especially with a loaded U-Haul. Love the Black paint over aluminum running boards with black inserts.

Thrilling

Love the power and the interior. Plenty of room in the back, and it actually comes with its own air pump and hose.
That's a small thing, but it is so convenient. I cannot understand why all cars don't cone with them.

Recall Notices

2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer (9/24/2015)

Campaign Number: 15V599000

Component Name: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

Description: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy vehicles, and 2006 GMC Envoy XL and Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT vehicles. Fluid may enter into the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board, causing window switches to become inoperative. Previously, the affected vehicles may have had their master power window switch module treated with a protective coating, instead of having it replaced.

Defect: The protective coating may not eliminate the risk that the circuit board could short and result in a fire, even while the vehicle is unattended.

Corrective Action: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new driver's door switch module, free of charge. The recall began on November 2, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15700.

2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer (7/2/2014)

Campaign Number: 14V404000

Component Name: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

Description: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 SAAB 9-7x; 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL; and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier and Isuzu Ascender vehicles. Fluid may enter the driver's door master power window switch module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. The short may also cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire.

Defect: A short in the circuit board could lead to a fire, increasing the risk of personal injury. A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made.

Corrective Action: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the part number on the door module, and install a new door module if necessary, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. An interim letter was mailed to owners in August 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-462-8782 (GMC), 1-800-955-9007 (SAAB), and 1-800-255-6727 (Isuzu). GM's number for this recall is 14309. NOTE: This recall provides a new remedy for all vehicles covered by recall 13V-248. Vehicles whose modules were modified but not replaced as part of the previous recall remedy must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign.
