| 2005 ext trailblazer rear plastic molding containing the 3rd brakelight separated from the window at least 3x since i have owned this vehicle. once even falling completely off severing the wires and landing in the roadway. i noticed the first separation less than 6 months after getting vehicle brand new. it has separated again and dealer says that it is not covered under warranty because it is considered cosmetic even though the vehicle was still under lease for another year. he also informed me that it happens to everyone he has seen and there is nothing they can do to stop it from happening that it is a flaw in the engineering, but they wouldn't hold it against me when i turn my lease in. *tr | |||

| While driving on the highway, the rear brake light accessory fell off my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ext. while the vehicle was in motion. there was no prior indication that the piece was loose. the piece, fortunately, remained attached to the vehicle while slamming against my rear window. i am concerned that the manufacturer of this vehicle is not properly securing the rear brake light piece and endangering my family as well as other motorists. when i tried to rectify with the dealerships service shop, they claimed that ice can cause this problem, citing that they had seen this happen a couple of times prior, and refused to take responsibility for correcting the problem, claiming that it was due to an act of nature and perhaps i could file a claim with my automobile insurance provider. *tr | |||

| The rear liftgate window of my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ext shattered for no apparent reason at all. my wife was closing the liftgate (the glass was not open), pulled the liftgate down a few inches, and the entire rear liftgate window exploded sending glass all over my wife and our 4 year old son, not to mention my driveway, sidewalk, etc. according to different sites that i have visited on the internet, this is quite a common occurrence. might i add that this vehicle had not been driven or moved from its' parking spot since sunday 8/24/2008 and was not driven today. we opened the rear liftgate to put an item into the back of the vehicle, went to shut the liftgate, and the above occurred. *tr | |||

| My 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ext lts tailgate glass door hinge cap popped off and had to be repaired/replaced (hinges, fiberglass cap, glass, etc). i was informed by mr. kenneth lamott of the 1st avenue body shop, inc. in great falls mt that this is a known issue and apparent design defect that chevrolet knows about. however they will not recognize it as a recall item. it is my understanding from mr. lamott was to not drive the vehicle on highways should it come loose again as it will dislodge and present oncoming traffic with a hazard that could cause damages, injury and possibly death if it impacted and passed thru a windshield hitting the driver or passenger. *tr | |||
