2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES HAVE A REAR SIDE CLOSURE LATCH THAT MAY NOT LATCH OR UNLATCH DUE TO CORROSION CAUSED BY ROAD SPLASH, SUCH AS WATER AND ROAD SALT. THESE VEHICLES WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Risk. IF THE DOOR IS NOT LATCHED PROPERLY AND IT GOES UNNOTICED, IT MAY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IF AN UNBELTED OCCUPANT FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE, PERSONAL INJURIES COULD OCCUR.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ALONG THE LOWER PART OF THE ROCKER PANEL TO PREVENT INTRUSION OF CORROSIVE MATERIAL, AND INSPECT THE REAR SIDE CLOSURE LATCHES. FUNCTIONAL LATCHES WILL BE CLEANED AND LUBRICATED. NON-FUNCTIONING LATCHES WILL BE REPLACED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 24, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.

Defect. ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, VIBRATION AND HEAT MAY CAUSE THE TAIL LAMP/STOP LAMP BULB TO LOOSEN IN ITS SOCKET. IF THIS OCCURS, THE BULB MAY FLICKER AND EVENTUALLY BECOME INOPERATIVE.

Risk. AN INOPERATIVE BRAKE LAMP WILL NOT CONVEY THE DRIVER'S INTENTION OF STOPPING TO DRIVERS IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES, AND AN INOPERATIVE REAR TURN SIGNAL LAMP WILL NOT CONVEY THE DRIVER'S INTENTION TO TURN TO DRIVERS IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE FAILURES CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TAIL LAMP/STOP LAMP ASSEMBLIES, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES HAVE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEMS THAT WILL NOT TURN ON, CEASE OPERATION WHILE IN USE, FAIL TO TURN OFF/ON BY THEMSELVES (MOISTURE SENSITIVE WIPER SYSTEM), OR HAVE CONTINUOUS WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP OPERATION BECAUSE THE PRESENCE OF WATER WITHIN THE WIPER MODULES CAN EITHER CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT OR CAN LEAD TO THE CORROSION OF COMPONENTS WITHIN THE MODULE.

Risk. DEPENDING ON THE OCCURRENCE AND WEATHER SITUATION, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL COVER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE VENT HOLE WITH A PATCH. ALSO, THE WIPER MOTOR, CIRCUIT BOARD, AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WILL BE INSPECTED TO SIGNS OF WATER INTRUSION AND/OR CORROSION AND BE REPLACED AS REQUIRED. THE RECALL BEGAN JULY 6, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537; OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING NEAR THE BOTTOM REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE CHECK VALVE WAS FRACTURED. JOE LUNGHAMER CHEVROLET (475 SUMMIT DR, WATERFORD TWP, MI 48328, 1-(248) 683-7100) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THERE WAS NO FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14423, BUT THEY HAD NOT PROVIDED A RECALL REMEDY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THEN IT WOULD WORK SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHER TIMES. NOW IT NEVER WORKS. NOW THAT ITS WINTER I'M SLIDING AT STOP SIGNS THAT AREN'T EVEN THAT SLIPPERY. THE ACTUATORS IN THE HEATING AND COOLING ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ALL SUMMER I HAD HEAT BLOWING ALL THE TIME AND SUDDENLY THERE WOULD BE NOTHING. NOW IT'S COLD AIR ALL THE TIME. MAKES MY WINDOWS FOG UP AND NOT DEFROST. I HAVE DONE THE RESET PROCEDURE AND HEAR THINGS MOVING BUT IT DOESN'T FIX IT. THE BLOWER IN THE BALL SEAT AND THIRD ROW IS HIT OR MISS FOR EVEN WORKING AT ALL.

HAS A BAD GAS SMELL LEAKING GAS SOMEWHERE

ONE BY ONE THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT AND NOT WORKING. FIRST THE CAR WOULD NOT START ALL THE TIME WITH THE KEY, THEN THE A/C STOPED WORKING, NEXT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, THEN THE INJECTORS. I CHECKED EVERYTHING IT COULD BE. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR JUST DIED LOST POWER STEERING SO IT WAS HARD TO GET OFF THE ROAD FAST. I GOT IT STARTED AND WAS DRIVING AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET IT HOME WHEN IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE FOUND OUT THIS CAR HAS ISSUES WITH THE FUSE BOX ITSELF UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED IT UP JUST TO FIND THE WORDING THAT CONNECTED THE PINS WAS BROKEN IN NUMEROUS PLACES AND HAD STARTED TO BURN UP IN THE BOX.

WHEN DRIVING FOR 30 TO 45 MINS ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ON DASH START STICKING AND READING WRONG INFORMATION. IN THE PICTURE MY CAR IS PARKED .

SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC OFTEN SHOWING FALSE SPEED OR GOES TO ZERO.ALL MOVING SPEEDS HIGHWAY OR STREETS.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE TO PCM COMMUNICATION ERROR COMES UP AND THE VEHICLE STARTS THE WARM UP PROCESS AND THEN DIES IN THE PROCESS OF WARM UP PROCEDURES. I GUESS MY QUESTION TO YOU IS HOW CAN I FIX THIS OR DOES A DEAL NEED TO FIX IT OR IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE?

DRIVING DOWN ROAD ON THE WAY TO HOSPITAL AND TRAILBLAZER MADE A LOUD CLUNK. THEN STARTED MAKING A WHIRRING NOISE. FINISHED DRIVING SLOWLY TO HOSPITAL AS NOT TO MESS ANYTHING ELSE UP. PULLED IN AND PARKED. GOT READY TO LEAVE HOSPITAL AND HAD NO REVERSE ONLY FOWARD.

MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION I HAD TO UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE BOTTOM OF MY STEERING TO PUSH THE BUTTON ALSO ALL OF MY INSTRUMENT GAUGE DO NOT WORK INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL GAUGES SO I NEVER KNOW MY TEMPERATURE OR FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE THEY ALL ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY MY SPEEDOMETER ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. ALSO MY ENGINE IS RUNNY ROUGH AND I HEAR A VIBRATION AND TICKING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS AND I'M GETTING CODE SAYING THERES A LEAK IN THE FUEL EVAP SYSTEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2003 TRAILBLAZERS. WHY ISN'T CHEVROLET RECALLING THESE PROBLEMS ITS FUSTRATING THEY WANT SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I CANNOT AFFORD

LOW BEAMS INTERMENTLY GO OFF AND ON ! EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED CAUSING A LEAK ! ALL DASH GAUGES BUT FUEL GAUGE DONT WORK !

NONE OF MY GAGES WORK AND A LOT OF MY DASH LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. MY SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAGES WORK BUT NOTHING ELSE DOES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT THEY WOULD ALWAYS GO BACK ON. BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN OFF FOR A WEEK WITHOUT GOING BACK TO NORMAL. TWICE LAST WEEK THE RADIO AND THE POWER WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING PARKED ALL THE TIME AND IT DOESNT GO BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRAILBLAZER UNTIL THESE THINGS ARE FIXED. I WORK AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS EITHER. GM NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP.

THE GAS GAUGE STARTED MESSING UP/NOT READING RIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. NOW NEITHER ONE WILL WORK AT ALL. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. I HEARD THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF TRAILBLAZERS. THIS STARTED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TWICE IN 10 MONTHS. I BOUGHT NEW PARTS FOR IT NOT USED THAT WERE REDONE TO GET RID OF THE PROBLEMS IT HAD NOW IT HAS GONE AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAVEN'T EVEN USED THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE YET SINCE THE LAST REPAIR. I HAVE RESEARCH IT AND I NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THERE WAS A STRONG GAS ODOR. GAS HAD ALSO PREVIOUSLY SPILLED OUT WHEN FUELUNG.

MY WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN TRAVELING ON I-94 E AND EXITED THE FREEWAY AT THE 12 MILE EXIT IN ROSEVILLE MI. MY WIFE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AS THEY APPROACHED THE RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON THE 12 MILE EXIT RAMP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED THROUGH THE RED LIGHT NARROWLY MISSING A HIGH SPEED COLLISION WITH BOTH EAST AND WEST BOUND TRAFFIC ON 12-MILE ROAD. SHE CONTINUED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ON THE RED LIGHT AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE SUV SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS DOWN THE SERVICE DRIVE. SHE SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND I CHECKED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE WARNING OR ANY OTHER INDICATORS ON THE DASH. I PUMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND COULDN'T EVEN HOLD THE VEHICLE WHILE IDLING IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I ALSO NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF FLUID UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I'M GOING TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO MORAN CHEVROLET IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI AND LEAVE IT WITH THOSE THAT SOLD ME THIS DEATHTRAP. ANOTHER AND PERHAPS EVEN GREATER SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE IS THE SUV'S TENDENCY TO MISBEHAVE WHILE IN AWD MODE. THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES GOES IN REVERSE WHILE DRIVE IS SELECTED AND VICE VERSA. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES PUT ITSELF IN NEUTRAL WHILE ENGAGED IN DRIVE MODE OR WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS. OH AND LAST WEEK I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ASSEMBLY AFTER IT FAILED AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT GM HAD COMPLETED THE RELATED RECALL WORK THAT SIGNE

I PURCHASED A 2003 TRAILBLAZER FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAD A HOLE IN IT. SO I PURCHASED A DIFFERENTIAL FROM A SCRAP YARD. 90 DAY WARRANTY. STILL HAD A NOISE . I STILL HAD A NOISE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS OUT AGAIN. I PURCHASED THE THIRD DIFFERENTIAL FROM A DIFFERENT YARD TOOK IT APART . FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE BEARING BAD. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE DRIVERS CONSTANT. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THANK YOU THERE WAS A FIRE THE DIFFERENTIAL GREASE BURNT BEARING WENT OUT AND CHARD MOTOR AND SURROUNDING AREA NO REAL DAMAGE. *TR

FIRST OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT AND NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS ALSO GONE STUCK AT 50 MPH. CALLED CHEVY CAN'T GET STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM AND ASK WHAT OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GAUGE CLUSTER ADVISED CAN'T DISCLOSED ANY INFORMATION.

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE07014 OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE AROUND NOVEMBER 2014. THE PROBLEM PRESENTED AS P0442 CEL AND ODOR OF GAS AFTER PARKING IN GARAGE. GM HAS INDICATED BECAUSE THE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION ALLOWANCE HAS EXPIRED, DESPITE THE LOW MILEAGE THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2003. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM WAS NOT COMPELLED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE RISK OF GAS LEAKING. I WOULD APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE TO GET GM TO MINIMALLY PROVIDE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACEMENT, DUE TO THE KNOW MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK. *TR

IT WAS SLEETING AND I LOST CONTROL ON A CURVE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH, BUT BRAKE BEFORE THE CURVE AND BRAKE VERY HARD WHEN I TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AS IT WAS SLIDING SIDEWAYS TOWARD THE CURVE. I WENT OFF THE CURVE AND HIT AN ELEVATED CROSSROAD, WHICH SENT THE VEHICLE AIRBORNE. I WAS AIRBORNE OVER MOST OF THE SIDE ROAD, WITH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE HITTING JUST THE LAST FEW INCHES OF PAVEMENT, WHICH THEN SENT THE VEHICLE NOSEDIVING INTO THE DITCH. THE EMBANKMENTS WERE 4-5 FEET TALL. I HAD TWO VERY HARD FRONT END IMPACTS AND HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL TWICE. THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS BENT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE UNDER OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERN WITH THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND KNOW THAT THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES OF MY YEAR AND TYPE THAT DID HAVE FAULTY AIRBAGS RECALLED, BUT MINE HAS NOT BEEN. *TR

PLASTIC WELD CONNECTING FUEL FILL PIPE TO FUEL TANK HAS CRACKED.CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE & WAS INFORMED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST MISSED THE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY ONE MONTH. WHY IS THIS CAMPAIGN (07099) A LIMITED TSB & NOT A SAFETY RECALL? VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS INSPECTION. TECHNICIAN REPAIRED LEAK WITH EPOXY THAT SEALED LONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT VAPOR LEAKAGE TO PASS EMISSION TEST.NOW THAT HAS FAILED AND ONCE AGAIN VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE FUEL VAPORS EMITTING FROM VEHICLE MAKE IT UNSAFE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.THIS IS NOT DUE TO A WORN PART OR CORROSION,THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN THAT EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.WORSE YET GM OFFERS NO DISCOUNT ON THIS VERY EXPENSIVE TANK ASSEMBLY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.I CAN NOT THINK OF A MORE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS BEEN SO IGNORED.PERHAPS WHEN THE FIRES START THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CONGRESSIONAL HEARING ABOUT GM'S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO SUCH A SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE HAZARD THAT THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST OWNERS IN CORRECTING. *TR

THE DRIVERS SEAT HEATER GOT VERY HOT AND THEN STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON. I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE WIRES HAD OVERHEATED AND ACTUALLY BURNED THE FOAM AND COVERING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND PICTURES ON THE INTERNET. I REMOVED MY SEAT AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I AM ASTOUNDED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO STOP THE USE OF THESE DEFECTIVE HEATERS. THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A VERY SERIOUS FIRE AND BURN HAZARD. *TR

SES LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP HAD NO APPS BROUGHT TO MECHANIC. CODE WAS FOR FUEL EMISSION LEAK. REPLACE GAS CAP. WEEK LATER CODE SES CAME ON AGAIN. BROUGHT BACK TO THE MECHANIC, SAID FUEL TANK IS CRACKED. CALLED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL BUT NOT MY VIN..... *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF POWER TO EVERYTHING BUT THE BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 10-15MPH EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. WITH THE RECENT RECALL IN GM VEHICLES REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SWITCH THIS PART OUT FIRST. FIXED THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED MY COST FOR PART AND LABOR. I CAN'T BELIEVE AS MANY KNOWN PROBLEMS THE TRAILBLAZER HAS WITH THIS THAT IT HAS YET TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. *JS

WHEN I PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TURNED THE KEY OFF, AND ACTUALLY PULLED THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL RUNNING. I BACKED THE CAR UP, WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, WHERE I STARTED SMELLING WIRES BURNING. I CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY PUT FIRE OUT ON THE FUSE BOX, WITH EVERYTHING MELTED AROUND IT. I HAVE HAD MINOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, I.E. WHEEL BEARING AND BRAKES, BUT, NOTHING LIKE THIS. WHILE MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME, WE DID GET OUT, AND NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR

THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE VAPORS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, A CRACK CAN BE SEEN IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK. WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK FROM THE CRACK. THE FUEL GAUGE CLUSTER IN THE DASH DOESN'T WORK. THE BLOWER ON THE A/C UNIT DOESN'T WORK ON THE HIGHEST (5) LEVEL. ALSO, THE FAN CLUTCH WENT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO OVERHEAT SEVERELY. THE FAN DOES NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING THE WATER PUMP SHAFT TO BECOME DAMAGED. ALSO, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW QUIT FUNCTIONING, DESPITE BUYING AN EXPENSIVE NEW REGULATOR AND REPLACING IT. HAVING RESEARCHED THE ISSUES, I FIND THAT I AM AMONG HUNDREDS, POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF UNSATISFIED PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

WHERE THE GAS FILLER NECK CONNECTS TO THE GAD TANK THIS AREA DEVELOPS A CRACK ALLOWING GAS TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE AND DURING FILLING UP TO A COUPLE QUARTS OF GAS CAN RUN ONTO CEMENT BY THE PUMP, ALSO STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE GARAGE.. THIS ALSO TRIGGERS THE CHECK MOTOR LIGHT. ACCORDING TO INTERNET POSTINGS OTHER TRAIL BLAZER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT DUE TO A SECOND PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR GAS LEAK, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE CAUSED BY 2 DIFFERENT, WELL-KNOWN FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. GM OFFERED NO SOLUTION TO EITHER PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M 3 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY TOTAL BILL FOR BOTH LEAKS WAS $1,500. BOTH LEAKS ARE KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEMS, AS REFERENCED IN BULLETINS 07099 AND 07076. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THE LEAKS. GAS TANK REPLACEMENT IS NOT WHAT I CONSIDER NORMAL A MAINTENANCE ITEM. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THESE TANKS NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR

FUEL LEAK ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, AND AN EXTENDED SERVICE/WARRANTY WAS ADDED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN AS-IS. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE OF THIS WARRANTY. GM REFUSES TO OFFER ANY MORE THAN A 10% DISCOUNT, EVEN THOUGH 3 MONTHS PRIOR THIS SAME DEFECT WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AT NO COST UNDER THE SPECIAL WARRANTY COVERAGE. I WAS WILLING TO SPLIT THE COST 50/50, BUT NO OTHER OPTIONS WERE DEEMED ACCEPTABLE BY GM. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE 120,000 MILE CUTOFF AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXTENDED SERVICE, BUT 3 MONTHS OUT OF DATE. BEING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SEVERE FIRE HAZARD, I FEEL GM SHOULD OFFER A BETTER SOLUTION AND AT THE MINIMUM A REDUCED COST REPAIR. *TR

IN THE PAST 3 YEARS VEHICLE HAD GAS ODOR UPON EXITING VEHICLE UPON USE. UNTIL RECENTLY, FUEL STARTED LEAKING PROFUSELY WHEN VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WE BEING THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WERE NEVER SENT ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF ANY FACTORY WARRANTY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. AFTER CONTACTING GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE YEAR AND MILEAGE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF WE WOULD OF BEEN NOTIFIED BY GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH LEAKING FUEL TANKS WE WOULD OF RESOLVED THIS ISSUE WHEN WE STARTED SMELLING THE FUMES A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD OF BEEN IN EFFECT. AFTER CONTACTING GM AND SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE, THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. GM NEGLECTED TO CONTACT AND INFORM US OF ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT APPLIED TO OUR VEHICLE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WE FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO ANYONE INSIDE OR AROUND THE VEHICLE. WE ARE GOING TO FILE A WRITTEN COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY STARTED TO HEAR A BANGING NOISE TURNS OUT IT WAS MY PLASTIC THAT'S ABOVE MY HATCH WHERE MY 3 RED BRAKE LIGHT IS IT HASN'T FALLEN OFF YET JUST LOOSE AND FLOPPING AROUND I HAVE READ THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF TRAILBLAZER THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS AND EVEN YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM THE MOLDING WHICH IS DOUBLE SIDED TAPE IS NOT A PROPER USE FOR THIS THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX IT IS IT GONNA TAKE ONE FLYING OFF AND CAUSING A DEATH AND MAJOR ACCIDENT BEFORE ANYONE DOES SOMETHING? *TR

MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL STARTED TO MALFUNCTION BUT THEN RESET ITSELF. NOW, NONE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WORKS. *TR

BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN.. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHER, MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER. MY FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS ALL OVER THE PLACE...SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE, OTHER TIMES NOT AT ALL, AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS BUT ISN'T ACCURATE. *TR

THE VEHCLE HAS AVERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUT AND IS ALSO STARTING HARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. ON 03/07/2013 IT STARTED TO LEAK FUEL WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I TOOK IT TO BEARDMORE CHEVROLET IN BELLEVUE,NEBRASKA TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK CRACKING AND LEAKING ALONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP LEAKING AND POOLING FUEL ON TOP OF THE TANK, THEY INFORMED ME THAT GM HAD A SERVICE LETTER OUT THAT COVERED FULL REPLACEMENT OF TANK,PUMP AND LINES AT NO CHARGE FOR 10YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, I HAVE 81260 MILES AND AN IN SERVICE DATE OF 03/26/03 SO I WAS 10 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR. DEALER CALLED GM FOR ME AND GOT APPROVAL TO REPAIR THE TRAILBLAZER WITH ME PAYING 500.00 OF THE 2200.00 REPAIR. I TOOK THE DEAL AS THEY COULD HAVE JUST DENIED THE WHOLE CLAIM. SO PEOPLE IF YOU SMELL FUEL OF HAVE A WET FUEL TANK GET IT TO THE DEALER ASAP. GM HELPING WITH THE BILL IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE NEW PARTS WERE ALL UPDATED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. *TR

JUST LIKE SO MANY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS. MY TRUCK TO HAS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE CAP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINE OR FILTER. NOTHING WORKS. IT IS PUZZLING TO ME THAT CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT SENT OUT A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH I DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER LIKES TO RIDE IN THE VERY BACK (THIRD ROLE SEATING). IT IS SCARY TO THINK WHAT COULD HAPPEN. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE STARTED. SIMPLE AS THAT. *TR

CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WAS TOWED FROM HIGHWAY DUE TO A RUPTURED TRANSMISSION LINE. TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE REAR WHEELS. UPON DELIVERING VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP, THE ENTIRE UPPER HATCH TRIM MOLDING (HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT COVER) PIECE AND THE HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS MISSING WITH ONLY THE TWO WIRES DANGLING. UPON INSPECTION, THE PIECE IS ONLY HELD ON THE VEHICLE BY 2 BOLTS AND DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. THE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE ON THE REAR GLASS WAS DRY AND CRUMBLING (COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE). SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING BACKWARDS BEHIND THE TOW TRUCK, THE PIECE WAS NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE FORCE OF WIND WHICH PUSHED THE PIECE UPWARD UNTIL IT ULTIMATELY CRACKED AND BROKE OFF THE VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS PIECE FALLING OFF FROM TRAILBLAZER MODELS GOING FORWARD AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO REDESIGN OR FIX THE PROBLEM. A LARGE PLASTIC PIECE SUCH AS THAT SHOULD NOT USE 2 BOLTS AND DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AS A PRIMARY MEANS OF ATTACHMENT. AT A MINIMUM, A SAFETY NOTICE SHOULD BE SENT THAT TOWING A TRAILBLAZER FROM THE REAR AT HIGH SPEEDS MAY RESULT IN THIS PIECE BREAKING OFF, POSING A REAL SAFETY CONCERN (FLYING HIGHWAY DEBRIS) TO THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE(S). PARTS ARE FALLING OFF VEHICLES AND NO ONE BUT THE DISGRUNTLED OWNERS SEEM TO CARE. *TR

DRIVING APPROX 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY HEARD A "WHAP WHAP WHAP" NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I SLOWED DOWN, AND THE SOUND DIMINISHED. ARRIVING HOME, I FOUND THAT THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD COME LOOSE AT BOTH ENDS. THE TWO CENTER CONNECTIONS LUCKILY HELD, OR ELSE THE PIECE WOULD HAVE COME OFF THE CAR AND POSSIBLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER TRAILBLAZERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN BUT IT FAILED. THE CONTACT LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A FEW HOURS AND THE WINDOWS BEGAN TO WORK. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW TIMES AFTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED ON ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,843.

THE PASSENGERS SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT COME OUT AT ALL RENDERING IT COMPLETELY USELESS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALER AS WE WERE TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IT SHOULD BE COVERED, HOWEVER WE WERE TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED AND GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF ALMOST $300 TO REPAIR IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A MASSIVE FUEL LEAK COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE LEAK AS THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER BUT HE HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ADVISED THAT WHEN THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, THEN THEY WOULD CONTACT HIM. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL TANK, FUEL MOUNT, AND FUEL LINES WERE ALL REPLACED FOR $2000.00. IF THE VEHICLE HAD SET ON FIRE IT WOULD HAVE EXPLODED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. UPDATED 08/20/2012 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, FIRE ERUPTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER. THE CONTACT AND ALL OF THE PASSENGERS EXITED THE VEHICLE AS IT BECAME ENGULFED INTO FLAMES AND WAS DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED. A REPORT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TWO MONTHS PRIOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. UPDATED 08-30-12 *BF

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE LIKE NORMAL, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED, THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, BATTERY GAUGE, TACHOMETER, PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING THEN CAME BACK ON. ALSO, INSTEAD OF READING DRIVER LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES, THE PANEL WAS READING UNKNOWN DRIVER. THEN AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HOME, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP. AFTER WE GOT HOME, THE NEXT DAY THE PANEL WORKED FINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIME SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IN 2011. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS AND POSTS ONLINE FROM OTHERS STATING IT IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER CHEVY MAKES BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. THIS IS A VERY SCARY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHEVY DUE TO THE NUMEROUS OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *JB

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DID NOT WORK. NO PRECHECK LIGHTS EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND NONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE PANEL WOULD WORK. TRIED SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING BUT TO NO AVAIL. *TR

STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WAS GOING 0-5 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOT UP TO 40. STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STAYED STUCK AT 40, BUT I WAS DOING 30MPH. PULLED INTO THE STORE 2 BLOCKS UP, SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE CAR WAS REGISTERING 13 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. WENT BACK HOME, CAR SAT OVERNIGHT. STARTED IT FOR WORK IN THE MORNING ON SUNDAY AND IT WAS IDLING AT 8 MPH. STARTED DRIVING TO WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING 60 MPH, YET I WAS GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET THAT'S SPEED LIMIT WAS 45MPH. SEEMS I NEED TO KEEP TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE SPEEDOMETER TO RESET TO A LOWER NUMBER (I.E. 3 OR 8 MPH AT A DEAD STOP, VS. 13 TO 18 MPH AT A DEAD STOP). REVVED THE ENGINE TO SEE WHAT THE RESPONSE WOULD BE, TACHOMETER REGISTERED INCREASE, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT BUDGE AT ALL! I WORRY THE DAY IT WILL SAY I AM DOING 40 BUT I AM ACTUALLY DOING 55 AROUND A CURVE. THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY OFF LIMITS TO MY 17 YEAR OLD NOW. FUNNY THING IS I PREFERRED HER DRIVING THE TRAILBLAZER FOR SAFETY VS. HER LITTLE VW CONVERTIBLE. NOT ANY MORE!! I DO NOT SEE HOW CHEVY CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

DRIVING AT 40MPH AND THE TRUCK WENT UP IN FLAMES TRUCK SHOWED NO WARNING EVEN DROVE IT APP. 300YARDS TO PULL OVER STILL RAN WITH FLAMES AS HIGH AS 6 FT NO DUMMY LIGHTS CAME FIRE WAS UNDER THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING WAS WARNED BY ANOTHER DRIVING HEADING TOWARDS ME TRUCK HAD 85130 MILES ON IT NEVER HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS EVER THIS IS A BRIEF SUMMARY. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE FUEL TANK BECAUSE FILLER NECK CRACKED DUE TO BEING BRITTLE HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP DUE TO TOP RUSTING OUT AND CAUSING A GAS LEAK I RECEIVED A LARGE BILL TO REPLACE THESE PARTS AND EXPECTED THEM TO LAST LONGER THEN 8 YEARS. *TR

I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANELS ON OUR CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. MY MOTHER TRADED HERS IN BECAUSE HER SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING OUT. BUT MY PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE, MY WHOLE ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS OUT. MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, MY SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK, MY OIL PRESSURE DOESN'T WORK, MY THERMOSTAT DOESN'T WORK, NOTHING WORKS. MY CRUISE CONTROL ACTS UP TOO. *TR

I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN I BROUGHT THIS CAR NEW. AFTER ONE YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE LINC PLATE. OVER THE YEARS EVERYTHING HAS GONE WRONG WITH THIS CAR. SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE AUG. '08, GAS GAUGE STOPPED OCT. '11. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SINCE 2010 AND GM KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTED PART. YET GM PAID FOR THIS SAME DEFECTED PART AT THEIR COST FOR THE TAHOE, BUT HAS NOT PAID FOR THE TRAILBLAZER. WHY? WINDOWS AND DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK ON COMMAND. WINDOW WIPER(REAR) STOPPED WORKING-I REPLACED THAT PART. A/C COMES ON MY ITSELF. THERMOSTAT FAILURE. I THINK GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THE ONLY REASON THEY WOULD NOT IS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT THEY ARE PRODUCING SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT FIT TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROAD. *TR

INNER CALIPERS OF FRONT BRAKES LOCKED CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF INNER PAD AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO FRONT ROTORS. *TR
