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

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.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
MOVE THE AIRBAG OFF/ON DISPLAY TO SOME WHERE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL- INSTEAD OF ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR. NEED TO IMPROVE BACK SEAT, IT DOES NOT LAY DOWN FLAT- THE HEAD REST IS IN THE WAY. THE CONSOLE LID HAS A PROBLEM OF NOT STAYING OPEN, WHEN YOU WANT IT TO- NEEDS TO OPEN TOWARD THE PASSENGER SEAT.

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
WHY DOES THE 4.2 L6 TAKES MORE OIL THAN THE V8- L6 TAKES 7 QTS AND THE V8 TAKES 6 QRTS?
