| I had by back hatch open and i grabbed the door handle to close it. i pulled it down and as i pulled it down i hear a pop and all the glass shattered down on me with the door still open up in the air. three weeks later i replaced the window. (not a cheap glass almost $1000 with labor to replace) the mechanic opened and closed the door and the hatch to test for defects. all went well. i went to close the door so that i can leave the mechanic shop and i heard the pop and the glass shattered again. gmc has no recalls for the 2006 chevy trailblazer ext ls and i have to go get this back window again. this is a great truck just don't know what is wrong with this back window. ughhhh! *tr | |||

| Gas gauge bcame very erratic. finally didn't register at all. check engine light came on while out of town. took the car to a merlin automotive for repair. spent hundreds of dollars and the light would not go off. mass air flow meter, plugs, fuel rail, throttle position sensor, fuel injectors. they even called in a chevy technician who could not figure it out. when i returned home i took it to my local repair shop where they dropped the tank and replaced the sending unit. hundreds of dollars in expenses. then the heating fan switch started smoking and had to be replaced as it had melted and nothing worked . also, every door rusted through at the bottom including hte rear ahtch. dealers' response:welcome to wisconsin. i spent $700 to have the rust cleaned up. | |||

| I have a 2006 chevy trailblazer ext. i was driving around and it was pretty windy. i noticed that there seemed to be alot of air coming in thru the rear hatch. when i opened the glass on the rear hatch i noticed that the hinge had come unglued from the window. since it was windy it also caused some of the other hinges to crack and break where the 3rd brake light is located. i had to forcibly close the rear window and now it is only being held by one hinge on the right side and in the lower middle where it closes and locks. chevy says that it'll cost me over $1,300 to get fixed since it is out of warranty. it only has 53,000 miles on it. | |||
