2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

WHEN ACCELERATING THE SUV SEEMS TO STALL AND NEEDS A WHILE TO PICK UP AND THIS CAUSES MANY NOISES TO COME OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2002. TOOK THE TRUCK IN MANY TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID ITS NORMAL, BUT MY SISTER PURCHASED A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND WHEN DRIVING THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS AND SOUND EXCELLENT, UNLIKE MINE THAT SOUDS LIKE A SEMI TAKING OFF.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER OF WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. SINCE DAY ONE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH A MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS. IT HAS HAD AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT, CLUTCH FAN ($620.00), TAIL LIGHTS, HVAC CONTROLS $(200), EXHAUST MANIFOLD, RECALL ITEMS AND NOW FINALLY A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHERE THE SUN SHELL/GEAR LET GO COSTING ME ($1858.03). FAST FORWARD TO TODAY JUST 3 MONTHS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS "COMPLETELY OVERHAULED), THE VALVE BODY ID FAILING WHERE THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT "IS NOT PART OF THE 12 MONTH, 12,000 WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION."

TRANSMISSON FAILURE / NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS

DT: CONSUMER HAS 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AND LOW AT RANDOM. CONSUMER WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY WHEN VEHICLE SHIFTED DOWN TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. WHEN CONSUMER WAS EXISTING FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED INTO 4 WHEEL LOW CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT SAID 4 WHEEL LOW. CONSUMER HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT SIX TIMES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY A FEW TIMES, CONSUMER STARTED TURNING LEFT INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN INTO LOW. CONSUMER STOPPED VEHICLE , AND THE LIGHT FLASHED AND CYCLED THROUGH DIFFERENT SETTINGS UNTIL IT WENT BACK TO 2 WHEEL HIGH. CONSUMER COULD FEEL VEHICLE SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL AND HIGH AND LOW WHEN LIGHT CHANGED POSITION. CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, WHO DEALER SAID THAT THEY DONE A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER AND THIS MAY FIX PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. CONSUMER DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE WAS SCARED FOR HER FAMILY TO RIDE IN VEHICLE.*AK

I AN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SEAT WHICH HAS SNAPED A BRACKET WHICH SUPPORTS THE SEAT ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE! THIS BRACKET BROKE WHILE I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE AND CAUSED ME TO BE JOGGED TO THE SIDE WHEN THE SEAT DROPPED! I WAS NOT HURT BUT THE SUDDEN JOLT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE TO ONE SIDE BEFORE I RECOVERED! AS IT WAS THERE WAS NO ONE ON MY LEFT WHEN IT HAPPENED! I CALLED CHEVROLET AND DID NOT GET ANY SATISFACTION!

THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS TWO MONTHS AGO, RESULTING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK THE FIRST TIME, IN LAST TWO MONTHS, THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE DID HAVE A RECALL DEALING WITH THE FUEL LINES. THE FUEL LINE REPAIR WAS DONE TWICE AS WELL. THERE IS STILL A SMELL OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER STATES THAT CURRENTLY THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK. THE DEALER DID STATE PREVIOUSLY THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. AND THEN REPLACED IT. CONSUMER HAD TO WAIT FOR THE DEALER TO GET PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CONSUMER FEELS THIS PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF THE RECALL REPAIR WORK. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AFTER RECALL OF FUEL LINE WAS FIRST DONE. RECALL ID NUMBER 2016.*AK

1. MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON MY WAY TO WORK, APPROXIMATELY 27 MILES INTO THE TRIP. I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET, AND WHEN I STARTED ACCELERATING, A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND STARTED AS I ENTERED 2ND GEAR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. 2. MY HUSBAND GENTLY DROVE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ASSUMED IT WAS THE SUN SHELL SPLINE. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO FIND OUT, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $455 TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION. WE DECIDED AGAINST IT, FEARING THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. 3. MECHANIC REPLACED THE SUN SHELL SPLINE, PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID AND MANIFOLD PRESSURE SWITCH. COST = $1,222.66 + $84.00 DIAGNOSTIC AT DEALER. WE HAVE THE SUN SHELL SPLINE. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED ON JUNE 2ND. THEN, ON JUNE 5, THE CONDENSOR ON THE A/C WENT OUT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE CHEVY STATED THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD HELP ME (NO HELP ON THE TRANSMISSION). COST TO REPAIR = $261.34.

MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN OCTOBER OF 2001. IT TOOK AT LEAST 8 VISITS TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS ON LONG ISLAND AND MOUNT VERNON, WASHINGTON (I MOVED SEVERAL TIMES) BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED SATISFACTORILY IN 2004.

'02 TRAILBLAZER-I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AT 30K. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE WHEN PULLING IT OUT OF THE GARAGE THE 4X4 SELECTION LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND THE RED "N" WOULD FLASH. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL THE RED "N" WOULD GO OUT AND THE 2WD LIGHT WOULD COME ON. AT APPROX. 40K MILES IT DID IT ONE DAY WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE. LATER THAT DAY I WAS JUST EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE/TRANSMISSION. THE NOISE CHANGED PITCH WITH MY SPEED. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL DOWN A HILL. I RE-APPLIED THE BRAKE, STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SWITCHED IT FROM 2WD TO 4WD THEN BACK TO 2WD. THE VEHICLE THEN WAS ABLE TO MOVE AND I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE FLASHING "N" WAS NOT NORMAL AND TO BRING IT IN IF IT DID IT AGAIN. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SITE I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. I SPOKE WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 5/3/05 ON THIS AND ANOTHER ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE LIST OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE ADDED IF THE DEALERSHIP SAW THE PROBLEM.

TWO DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC AT APPROX. 70 MPH, TRAFFIC IN FRONT CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I HAD TO PULL TO THE ROADSIDE BECAUSE MY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I WENT AT LEAST 3 CAR LENGTHS FURTHER THAN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HAD I NOT BEEN IN AN OUTSIDE LANE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH.
