What Our Members Are Saying about Chevrolet TrailBlazer Materials and Workmanship
| Materials and Workmanship of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 291-horsepower 4.2L I6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Random parts fail or fall off on a regular basis. These include taillight assemblies (letting in water), door weather stripping, fuel level sensors, rear hatch lock, luggage rack trim, etc. Parts selected and assembly feel like a halfway effort. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 291-horsepower 4.2L I6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Wiring for seats is sloppy and obtrusive. Seals on doors move out of place easily. Center console is flimsy and e-brake trim is very low quality. Needing a prop for the hood is insulting at the price, but at least the hood is relatively light. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 4.2L I6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Where do I start: Overall it appears designed for limited life: 1) Left wheel bearing 2X in 100K 2) fan clutch/water pump/timing belt @ 60K 3) Irid. plugs ($25 per) die @60K ~$300 4) Healights @ 7 yrs- $800 A-Mkt/$1400 Chevy - again designed4failure |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.2L I6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Replaced the auto drive select twice within warranty. Rear light electricle replaced within warranty. Replaced brakes twice...once within a year. The front stableizers replaced. |

| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Parts fit together well, and interior surfaces are of high quality. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Ford Taurus: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
The interior is below average in quality. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Everything felt cheap, and the vinyls felt slimey. Poor fit and finish overall. |
| 2000 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Some parts, like the glove compartment, feel flimsy. Cupholders and center armrest do too. Seats feel comfortable though, and the fabric is tough. But door panels for example look kinda cheap. |
