Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Good for travel.
Plenty of room.
Nice ride.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Gas mileage, many issues, of course all after the 36000 mile warranty... door stripping keep coming off, gas gauge keeps going, many electrical problems (gas gauge, radio, driver door controls, etc). Lights dim when idling, keeps wanting to stall out, at 38000 replaced boots and joints... my last blazer had over 100000 before I had to replace boots and joints.... bad wear on the tires.... Chevy does not want to fix anything.

I like the roominess in the car.
When it is working it is a smooth ride.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
From the moment that I purchased this car I have had problems. First the gas gauge was not working which cost me $700 to fix, then my transmission was leaking - another $450, my car has been whining - being told that it is a pulley and now my car wont start. It turns over and then cuts off.

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
I would not recommend this car unless you have a lot of money to fix it up.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Handles like a car.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
need to replace I6 engine with more reliable engine cylinder head failure at 20k miles. Minimize exterior wind noise throughout vehicle.

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
trailblazer has had problems with cylinder head failures since 02 and no recalls have been made on any of the vehicles. Quality of workmanship seems to have been a rush job to sell vehicles. I like Chevy but they need to improve quality in order to get America's trust.
