2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer Safety and Reliability

The IIHS has handed the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer its highest Good scores for all criteria, along with the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award - a superb performance. The NHTSA gave the 2023 Trailblazer five out of five stars overall.

Chevrolet pulled out all the stops for the Trailblazer in terms of safety and driver-assist features. A rearview camera is standard, and every model has a ten-airbag system that includes front, front knee, front and rear side-impact, and head-curtain airbags. The standard Chevy Safety Assist suite on all models includes forward collision alert, pedestrian braking, and lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning. An available Driver Confidence Package equips rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-change alert with blind-spot monitoring.

The 2023 Trailblazer boasts an impressive overall JD Power score of 85 out of 100, and 86 for Quality & Reliability, which are excellent results. Certain Trailblazer vehicles for the 2021 model year have been affected by a recall for an issue relating to missing tire pressure information; this pertains to those Trailblazers equipped with optional 17-inch sport terrain tires. There were three more 2021 recalls for a contaminated brake booster, missing seat bolts, and a jack that may fracture and fail. Only the jack problem carried over to 2022 and for 2023, there were no recalls at the time of writing.

Chevrolet provides a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty for the Trailblazer, followed by a corrosion warranty that is valid for the same period. One scheduled maintenance visit is also complimentary within the first year. The drivetrain gets a five-year or 60-000-mile warranty, and roadside assistance is standard for five years or 60,000 miles.
