Detailed review:	I loved my trailblazer when I first got it. Unfortunately it spent five weeks in the shop until they could find out why it was over heating. The heads were warped at 7,500 miles. I have had it for a year and it has 15,000 miles on it. The power steering is going out at slow speeds and the dealer was going to replace the pump until GM says that since it didn't happen to them and that GM has never had that happen, they won't pay to replace it. Funny thing, though, I have read many reviews such as this that people do have problems with it. My 4wd went out (and Central Oregon loves the snow), one of the door panels is falling off, the paint is chipping, and it occasionally hesitates when accellerating. When it is running properly, it handles very well and I get an average of 20 miles a gallon. GM does not seem to want to stand by their product unless there is a compliment to accept. I am dissappointed at the fact I spent $37,000 on a vehicle that I now have to question reliability.
Also considered:	2003 GMC Envoy XL
