Less that 10,000 miles. I have a leak in one or several places. Wet carpet throughout. Seatbelt damp when pulled out. Found 2" of water in the spare wheel well. Speakers have stopped working. This is all in a matter of 2 days after heavy rains. Took it to the dealership and they originally said Chevy admits to knowing about something similar. They instructed dealership where to hunt for the leak(s). For clarification the panoramic roof was completely sealed and dry. Water has entered somewhere and traveled through the side panels of the car. Today I get a call from the dealership and they say the drain holes for the panoramic roof were clogged with tree debris and they don't think it will be covered by warranty. Anyone experience this issue. Sounds like a structural defect to me. If it is the drain holes then I would think that be on them for bad construction. Any knowledge or opinions appreciated on issue or how to fight the warranty issue is appreciated.
Hi!
I wanted to share with you our problem with the 2021 Trailblazer purchased for our daughter. She has had the same issue of a flooded inside. The vehicle would not start even after doing all thr manual required. She Googeled as well. She changed battery in fob. Had roommate bring extra fob. No start, just a continual reading of no key detected. Called tow truck. Tower tried to jump start. Nothing. Had vehicle towed to dealership. Our daughter is in school 16 hours away. Thus the reason we purchased a new vehicle. Thinking...Newer would mean safer....
To make the long story short. The dealership found a factory weld defect in the roof seam. The dealership found a TSA bulletin describing the roof leak problem.
We are trying to get a buy back since we were sold a hidden defect that was known about by GM and the dealership. We knew nothing of the defect until after the fact. My daughter was told the leak had been going on for 5 or 6 months or longer. It left the factory with the leak. Meaning her car had the leak before it was purchased brand new. It had 7 miles on it at time of purchase. My daughter was in love with this Trailblazer. Within the first week of purchase she was stating how much she loved her new SUV, EXCEPT for one thing...IT TOOK FOREVER TO DEFOG THE WINDOWS. This is in May of this year....Little did we know the car already had water inside. Thus the reason for the defog problem. The dealership fixing the SUV asked, Did you have any problems with condensation or windows fogging up....this is when she says, OMG...YES!
Had we known there was a bulletin....the car would still be sitting on the lot OR someone else's mess!!

There is a TSA BULLETIN on this very problem. We have bought a new 2021 for our daughter in May. Her car was flooded by the roof leak. It's a mess. We are hoping for a buy back from GM. We were not told of the Bulletin and this should have been taken care of before we purchased the TB. LONG STORY, BUT not enough space or time to do into it all. Check the TSA BULLETIN FOR ROOFEAK IN THE 20-21 TRAILBLAZER. WE ARE JUST ANGRY AND SICK. THOUGHT buying a new vehicle would be safer and better since our daughter was moving 16 hours away for school..Iike I said, we are angry and sick!!! The best to you!!
