2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT complaints

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON ALL THE TIME. SWITCHING THEM OFF DID NOTHING. THE WIPERS STILL RAN. *JB

CONSUMER TOOK HER 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL WORK DONE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TS RECALL#05V198000. *JB

THE UPPER MOLDING OF MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER BLEW OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART HAD BEEN FIXED AT NO CHARGE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR IT ($505.20), BUT SAID THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE BODY SHOP MANAGER IN 2004 SAID HE HAD SEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TODAY DENIED THAT PATTERN AND SAID FIXING THE PROBLEM WAS UP TO ME. TO COMPOUND THE PROBLEM FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 36 HOURS TO COME TO A DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THE COST OF REPAIR SHOULD BE BORNE BY ME OR NOT. *NM

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE HEAD UNIT FOR MY STEREO DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS, MY DRIVER SIDE VIEW MIRROR DUE TO CONSTANT SHAKING, A SEAL IN THE WINDOW THAT WAS COMING OUT, DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL DUE TO THE PLASTIC BOWING UP. OCCASIONALLY THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT WORK, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT FAILS TO RELEASE ALLOWING ME TO PUT MY SEATBELT ON. EXCESS WIND NOISE ON THE DRIVERSIDE POSSIBLY DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD NOT BEING SEALED PROPERLY.*AK

THE TIE ROD BROKE PULLING THE VEHICLE INTO A TREE CAUSING INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. WHEEL DAMAGE WINDSHIELD BROKEN, SIDE BODY DAMAGE AND BUMPER DAMAGE. *JB

THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT 60 MPH, GOING INTO A DITCH, THE SEAT BELT DID NOT SECURE THE CONSUMER, AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB *SC

(1) CRASH (2) AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK, KNEES HIT DASH (3) TRUCK WAS TOTALED. *JB

I PURCHASED A CHEVROLET EXT TRAILBLAZER ON NOV. 26, 2004. 2 MONTHS LATER ON FEB. 1, 2005 IT WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SHUTTING DOWN 5 TIMES WITH 2 LOUD EXPLOSIONS. THE MALFUCTION OF THE VEHICLE CAME CLOSE TO A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS OCCURING AND AN ALMOST NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE FOR MY DAUGHER AND I WHEN IT SHUT DOWN FOR ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY BY ATTEMPTING TO CROSS IT UNTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL INJECTION VALVE HAD MALFUCTIONED AND REMAINED OPEN RELEASING ALL THE GASOLINE UNTO THE ENGINE. THEY ARE REPLACING THE INJECTOR, SPARK PLUGS/WIRES THAT WERE FLOODED WITH GASOLINE, AND THE INTAKE GASKET. I CONTACTED GM WHICH ALSO CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THE SERIES OF EVENTS COULD HAVE STARTED A VEHICLE FIRE AND THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE ENGINE OFF AND VACATED IT IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT TELL ME HOW THIS OCCURED NOR PROMISE THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN OR OTHER PROBLEMS STEM FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATING SITUATION TO ANYONE. I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I AM PURSUING OTHER AVENUES TO ENSURE THAT I WILL NOT KEEP THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THIS LIFE THREATING SAFETY HAZARD. *AK

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE SEAT BELT ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. HAS MALFUNCTIONED, I.E. IT DOES NOT COME OUT, AND THEREFORE WILL FORCE ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. *NM I HAVE VISITED THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THE PROBLEM, EVERYTIME I TRAVEL TO THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE THE TIME THAT IT STARTS TO WORK AGAIN. GM'S POLICY IS THAT "IF THEY DO NOT SEE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT OCCURS, THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM" I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, BEING UNABLE TO BUCKLE MY SEATBELT ON OCCASION, AND NOT TO MENTION ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SEATBELT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IN TALKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS, THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO?

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (FIANCE'S), FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC TIRES. AT APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES, WE NOTICED A TREAD SEPARATION ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. (TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS ON TIRE). IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE TREAD IS PEELING BACK ON REST OF TIRE ALSO. AS OF THIS TIME, THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ORE RECENTLY, WE FOUND OUT THAT CONTINENTAL HAS A 12-15 WEEK BACKORDER, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE HALTED PRODUCTION DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM. ****ACTUAL TIRE IZE:245/65/SR17**** SITE DID NOT GIVE THAT OPTION. *AK

MY 2004 CHEVROLET, TRAILBLAZER HAS NO TRACTION. I WILL NOT EVEN GO THROUGH WET GRASS.*AK
