The manual says that the cup on the jack should cradle the rear axle but there is a stabilizer bar on this vehicle that runs the entire length of the axle. The stabilizer bar is in the way.

Q: 2006 Chevy Trailblazer questions about potential purchase.?
Ok. So I have found a 2006 trailblazer for a nice price that is still under factory warranty. I want to know how people like these vehicles and how many problems they have encountered with it. I also saw that there are 3 recalls in place for the vehicle and I want to know what should i do to find out if this car is affected by it. Serious Answers Please

A: If you will email me the Vin I can check the recalls for you. I can also tell you this I sale them and have 2 2008 2wd trailblazers with 10000 miles GM certified for sale at $15500 plus tax and tag. So a 2006 should be less than that. If they have 20000 miles should be less than $12000. The demand on them is way down.

Q: What is faster a Volvo 850 1995 w/ sport package or a Chevy Trailblazer 2006?

The driver door will not respond to shifting or the keyless remote, and the none of the windows will roll down, and also the dome lights will not come on when the doors are open, only manually.

A: All these concerns are related and are symptoms of a bad drivers door module. (switch) The door module has to be replaced, and programmed. Hope you're still under factory warranty. 3 years 36 thousand miles.

Q: What would be the best size rims to put on my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer 22 or 24 in ?


A: 24" mate! When trucks are concerned - bigger is better...unless you're planning on lots of 'off-road' driving, in which case go for the 22s!

Q: 2006 Chevy Trailblazer issues?
I have had my 2006 Trailblazer for just over a month. Bought it brand new...end of the year sale. Overall, I am very happy with it. But problems we are having are the following: wind noise, passenger side window won't roll up when car is moving (electric windows and once we stop and roll it down and back up it will go all the way up), the glove box sticks and won't close (the car was cold and once the cab warmed up I heard a pop and was able to close the glove box) and finally, the wiper fluid for the back window doesn't work. I know I'll take it back to the dealership and they will fix the wiper fluid issue, but I'm thinking the other problems are inherent to the vehicle. Anyone else have these same problems, or any suggestions?

A: wind noise, aka the whistle you hear is coming from the exterior side mirrors, mine did that. I had issues with the windows also, they'd stop about 1/2" short of the top and I'd have to zip them back down some and then back up to make them go all the way up. Check with the dealer to have the CPU tested for issues or have the glass re-aligned for a better fit when up, all under warranty. Glovebox issues sounds like either a bad locking mechanism or mis-aligned. Again, should fall under warranty. Back washer....sure you have the reservoir filled? It does not feed from the front one but has its own. I would sniff the entire truck over really well and make a list of every last complaint you have. Then drop it off for all the repairs as they should all fall under warranty, as its clearly still within its bumper to bumper warranty. Get all the glitches fixed. GM hasn't been the best build (put together) car for awhile. That is why they are lagging so bad in sales now....people got sick of the poor work. Now they are forced to import Opel cars from their UK division in attempts to save themselves. The new Chevy Impala and all the new Saturn cars are all imported Opels. Even the new Saturn coupe and Pontiac coupe are both the Opel GT. Even the Cadillac Caterra was an Opel. Opel is a far supperior product than Chevy, Pontiac, Saturn, Buick or even Caddy. If they were smart...they would shut down all USA divisions and import their Holden (from australia, where the Pontiac GTO came from) and their Opel divisions. Then they could actually compete with Honda and Toyota.

Q: 2006 chevy trailblazer, gas ligt say empty and its not?
Put gas in and it says its empty and then the emission light comes on.

A: What you have is a faulty fuel level sensor. and YES it will set a check engine light. CODE (P0462 or P0463) Hope you're still under factory warranty. 3YRS. 36000 MILES. or extended warranty.

Q: how much oil goes in a 2006 chevy trailblazer?


A: If you change the filter it will require 4.5 Quarts to fill it to the full mark. On the 4.3 liter V6 Vortec 5W-30 is the recommended viscosity. Yours: Grumpy Trail Blazer owner.
