2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

TAIL LIGHTS FAILED. TAIL LIGHTS REPAIRED FOUR TIMES. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. DEALER STATED THE CIRCUIT BOX MAFUNCTIONED. *AK

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT SHOULDER RESTRAINT DID NOT LOCK (RETRACTOR) WHEN VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN REAR END COLLISION WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER AT 45 MPH. ALSO, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *AK CW

VEHICLE HAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

RIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SHORTED AND BRIEF FIRE WITHIN HEADLAMP.*AK

THE DRIVER-SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BULB REPEATEDLY BURNS OUT (3 TIMES IN AS MANY WEEKS). APPEARS THAT THE BULB DOESN'T MAKE A SNUG FIT IN THE SOCKET. I FOUND A TSB FROM GM REGARDING THIS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY (48K MILES). I PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS LISTED IN THE TSB, REPLACING THE BOARD, WHICH RESULTED IN A SNUG FIT BETWEEN BULB AND SOCKET. NO ISSUES SINCE. THIS IS PROBABLY RELATED TO DEFECT INVESTIGATION PE04032. THIS IS ON A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT WITH 2WD AND I6 ENGINE.

TRAILBLAZER SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON, ENGINE REVING, SEEMS TO BE FAN CLUTCH STUCK IN HIGH SPEED, CAUSES POOR ACCELERATION, POOR GAS MILEAGE, AND COSTS OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. DEALER IN SMALL TOWN STATES THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL IN THE SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCK. DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THIS REPAIR, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT. HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT DAMAGE ANY OTHER PARTS IN THE MEAN TIME. THERE SEEM TO BE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT DEAL WITH THIS SAME THING. ALSO, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT .

I HAD A FLAT TIRE. IT TOOK THE AAA PERSON 45 MINUTES TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE. HE INDICATED THAT THE NUT WAS RUSTED (THE VEHICLE IS A 2002 TRAILBLAZER) AND THEREFORE "STUCK"/UNREMOVABLE. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES AND HE HAD TO PUT IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES AFTER TRYING TO FORCE IT OUT. I OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE MY TIRE MYSELF.*AK

FOR 2 YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BOTH OF MY TAIL LIGHTS NOT OPERATING DEALER REPLACED CIRCUIT BOARDS 2X AND THAT STILL HAS NOT SOLVED PROBLEM. *AK

I HAVE HAD MY TRAILBLAZER FOR 6 MONTHS (SINCE 9-29-03). I BOUGHT IT USED AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG WITH IT CHECKED. I BOUGHT THE 3/36,000 WARRANTY AND HAVE NOT BENEFITED FROM IT. I HAVE READ THAT THERE WAS RECALL ON THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKETS, WHICH MAY FRACTURE. I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE I WAS HEARING A NOISE WHEN I TURNED. THEY TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND I DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER MONTH WHILE THE PARTS WERE BEING ORDERED AND THE OK FROM GM TO COVER THIS REPAIR. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE TAIL LIGHTS TO KEEP BURNING OUT AND FAILING. I HAVE RECEIVED MANY WARNINGS FROM LEGAL AUTHORITIES AND MY RESPONSE IS THAT I DID NOT KNOW AND HAVE JUST GOTTEN IT FIXED. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE DYING WHILE DRIVING, IDLING, OR ACCELERATING. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY ARE "TRYING TO REPRODUCE THE SITUATION" BUT CANNOT. I KNOW THAT IT HAPPENNED, JUST FIX IT. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN, BUT OWE TOO MUCH STILL AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH GM AND THEIR APPROVED DEALERSHIP. *AK

FOUND BOTH MAIN BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH BULBS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AFTER JUST 2 YEARS. BULBS ALSO LOOSE IN SOCKETS LEADING TO INTERMITTENT OPERATION AND PROBABLE SHORTENED BULB LIFE. ALSO NOTEWORTHY: 9 OUT OF 10 SUV/PICKUP TRUCKS THAT I SEE WITH INOPERABLE TAIL/DRIVING LIGHTS ARE RECENT MODEL GM PRODUCTS.

MY VEHICLE HAS A SQUEEK SOUND IN IT. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE UNDER THE VEHICLE AND IS NOW AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. I AM WONDERING WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS TO DO. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP A DOZEN TIMES OR SO FOR THIS.

REPEATED BRAKE LIGHT FAILURES, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES, DEALER HAS REPLACED BOTH LAMP MODULES, PROBLEM CONTINUES. BULBS WORK LOOSE DUR TO ROAD VIBRATION AND LOSE CONTACT WITH CLAMP DEVICES

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING ON OUR 2002 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE BOUGHT OUR VEHICLE FROM THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TRAILBLAZERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE HAVE TO BUY NEW PLATES THAT HOLD THE TAIL LIGHTS THAT PUT OUT LOWER POWER TO THE BULBS. THE CURRENT PLATES THAT HOLD THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN THE COTACTS IN THE BULBS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE NEW BULB HOLDER PLATES ARE $70.00 EACH PLUS THE LABOR. TO ME HAVING NO BRAKE LIGHTS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND YOU USUALLY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY ARE OUT UNLESS YOU ARE NOTIFIED BY SOMEONE OR YOU ARE PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE. WE HAVE ALSO HAD SIMILIAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BUT THEY LAST ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE THEY NEED REPLACED. SO MUCH FOR QUALITY IN OUR CRAFTSMAN SHIP FOR OUR AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES.

BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE....REPEATED BURNT OUT BULBS ON DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH CONTROL MODULE FOR 4X4 REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 34,000 MILES. MODULE HAS ACTED "QUIRKY" SINCE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED TEMPORARY FAILURE WHICH CORRECTED ITSELF BY NEXT DAY. POSSIBLE LOOSE WIRE??? *JB

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY TRAILBLAZER. THEY HAVE GONE OUT NUMEROUS TIMES AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE TELLING ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND I FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ON THIS. MY WIFE ALSO, HAD A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN WHICH SHE HAD THE CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS.*AK

BRAKE LIGHTS ON CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS ARE CONTINUOUSLY GOING OUT. EVERY SINGLE TRAILBLAZER I SEE ON THE ROAD THAT IS NOT BRAND NEW HAS EITHER ONE BRAKE LIGHT MISSING OR BOTH. WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO QUESTION IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS INCIDENT AND SAID NO, BUT HAS TO REPLACE CIRCUIT BOARDS ON MODELS OF TRAILBLAZERS. THIS IS NOT FAIR IF THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER BRAND NEW AND WITHOUT A WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT SHOULD NOT BE AT THE COST OF THE OWNER FOR A DEFECT OF THIS CALIBER. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THE VEHICLE BRAKING IN FRONT OF THEM. *LA

STOP LIGHT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHT SOCKETS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THAT THESE LIGHTS CEASE WORKING. WHEN I GO TO CHANGE THE BULB, THE BULB IS OK. AFTER CLEANING CONTACTS, BENDING CONTACTS AND "FIDDLING" WITH THE LIGHT BULB AND SOCKET, THE LIGHT WILL WORK AGAIN, ONLY TO FAIL IN 2-3 MONTHS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5-6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAIBLAZER IN THE FALL OF 2001. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP BUT DEALERSHIP INDICATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COMPONENT FAILURE CAUSED THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TO COME ON. DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND THE CONSUMER PICKED IT UP. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 2 WEEKS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE CONSUMER PICKED THE VEHICLE UP THERE WAS A CLANGING NOISE WHILE DRIVING.*AK

IF THE 2 U SHAPED HOOKS THAT HOLD THE SPOILER IN PLACE DETACH THE SPOILER POPS UP ABOVE THE TRUCK. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE SPOILER IS NOT WIND RESISTANT. THIS RESULTS IN THE OTHER PLASTIC SPOILER ATTACHMENTS WEAKENING, AND CAUSING THE SPOILER TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE TRUCK, AND TO FLY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SPOILER WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THIS FAILURE RECURRED.*AK

IGNITION SWITCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. *PH VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WITH A SUSPICION OF A DEAD BATTERY BY THE CONSUMER. AFTER EXAMINATION BY MECHANIC IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS LEFT ON WHEN SUDDENLY ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. CENTER CONSOLE WAS DISMANTLED AND A CABLE ATTACHED TO A SOLENOID HAD TO BE PULLED TO RELEASE THE SHIFT LEVER TO OPEN THE DOOR. IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *LA

WHILE REVERSING GRADUALLY CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR COLLISION. THE OTHER VEHICLE ONLY SUSTAINED A SCRATCH WHILE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE REAR END BUMPER WAS SMASHED UP . CONSUMER FELT THAT REAR BUMPER WAS NOT STURDY ENOUGH. *AK

THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY TRUCK FAILED. I HAVE HAD CHEVY REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BOARD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE VEHICLE GOES THROUGH LIGHT BULBS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE CIRCUIT BOARD. IT BURNS OUT THE METAL WIRE USED IN THE CONTACT. THE FILAMENT NEVER BURNS OUT.*AK

2002 TRAILBLAZER HAS AIR CONDITIONER PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS PROBLEM SURFACE. IT WOULD PRODUCE HOT AIR WHEN THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMP IS @MID 80'S AND THE VENTS ARE PRODUCING EXTREMELY HOT AIR WHEN THE TEMP SELECTED (AUTO) TO 74 AND THIS TIME THE DRIVER AIR WORKS FINE BUT EXTREMELY HOT AIR IS COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SETTINGS ARE SELECTED. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER AIR CONDITIONER. SOMETHING WITH THE SENSOR. *NM

THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT IN 3 MONTHS. THIS MORNING, I SHIFTED FROM 2HI TO 4HI DUE TO ICE, SNOW AND SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. I STOPPED AT A SHOP AND SHUT OFF MY ENGINE. I RETURNED, STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PULLED INTO THE STREET. THE LIGHTS ON THE TRANSFER CASE DIAL WENT BLACK AND THE VEHICLE REVERTED TO 2HI. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THREE MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS BEEN VERY GOOD AT TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, GM ITSELF IS OF LITTLE ASSISTANCE BEYOND "HOPING" THAT NOTHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS. THE REAT QUESTION IS WHETHER THE NHTSA WILL NOW DO ANYTHING AS A RESULT OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON ITS WEBPAGE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. RECALL,04V046000 WA SISSUE DON THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE SKIDDED ON BLACK ICE. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND PEDAL WENT THE FLOOR. DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A TREE. UPON IMPACT, BOTH AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES, AND WERE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *AK

PURCHASED FEB 1, 2002. SINCE THEN HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. HAD INTO 4 DIFFERENT DEARLERSHIPS FIXING MANY PROBLEMS BUT AFTER EACH VISIT ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURS. FROM TAIL LIGHTS BURNING OUT, WINDHSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURES, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED, HEATER CONTROL PANEL REPLACED ONCE, MEMORY MIRROR MODULES REPLACED 2 TIMES, HEATED SEAT SWITCHES REPLACED 2 TIMES, REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER/REPLACED ENTIRE REAR WINDOW 1 TIME, BATTERY REPLACED 1 TIME ( SAID BATTERY WAS AT FAULT FOR CURRENT PROBLEMS) BATTERY WAS FINE AND CHARGED ME $ 150 FOR NEW BATTERY THAT WAS NOT THE CORRECT BATTERY REPLACEMENT, EXHAUST GASKET BECAME LOOSE/LOUD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED BECAUSE IT JUST CUT OFF AS I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING APPROX 65 MILES AN HOUR, I HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY- HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PROBLEM FIXED, HOWEVER AFTER I PICKED IT UP THEN THE CURRENT PROBLEM BEGAN. I COULD GO ON AND ON WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD. PRESENT PROBLEM IS THAT WHENEVER I TURN ON THE HEAT IT DIES OUT WITH NO WARNING---JUST STOPS AND STALLS. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY FIXD IT BUT UPON PICK UP THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. GONE TO PICK IT UP 2 TIMES, BUT WHEN I START IT AND PUT ON HEAT, IT DIES ALL OVER AGAIN EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY FIXED IT. I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND IT HAS BEEN A COLD WINTER. ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH ON ANOTHER EXPRESSWAY ON WAY HOME FROM HAVING THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB DONE AND ALL FLUIDS CHANGED. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT WORTH $

MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER BEGAN LEAKING GAS AROUND THE FUEL FILTER CONNECTION. MY GUESS IS A RATE OF AROUND 5 GALLONS IN 20 MINUTES. VEHICLE KEPT RUNNING. VEHICLE HAS A RECALL ON THIS WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 02V121000. I BELIEIVE I HAD THIS RECALL 02016 - FUEL FILTER CONNECT PERFORMED BY HENDRICK PONTIAC BUICK ON 6/4/02 . THE RECALL HAS THE FOLLOWING DECRIPTION ON THE NHTSA DATABASE: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FUEL FILTER FITTING CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, A NO-START CONDITION WOULD RESULT AND FUEL WOULD BE PUMPED OUT THE FUEL FILTER ONTO THE GROUND. IF THE FITTING BECOMES DISCONNECTED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE WOULD STOP DUE TO INADEQUATE FUEL SUPPLY AND CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, FUEL LEAKAGE FROM A DISCONNECTED FUEL FILTER FITTING COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER QUICK CONNECT RETAINERS. I EXAMINED THE FILTER CONNECT AND FOUND THE SNAP-ON PART OF THE FILTER WAS NOT SNAPPED INTO THE HOLES IN THE HOSE CONNECTION. THE SNAP WAS ACTUALLY ROTATED ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THIS WAS NOT HOLDING THE HOSE IN ALL THE WAY BUT JUST ENOUGH TO CAUSE A MAJOR GAS LEAK AND TO SEND GAS TO THE ENGINE. I BELIEVE THE FUEL FILTER CONNECTS ARE A BAD DESIGN. 1 OF 3 THINGS WENT WRONG. 1) THE RECALL WAS NEVER PERFORMED EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE PAPERWORK SAID IT WAS. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE THE CONNECTORS BECAUSE THEY ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE/

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE LOST POWER, WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSED VEHICLE TO STALL. (AK

I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING PLACE'PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT LUNGED FORWARD AS IF THE ACCELARATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR.I HIT A LIGHT POLE AND THE CAR STOPPED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT REDUCED THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. RECALL 03V15900 WAS ISSUED FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

THE POWER STEERING FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES, EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN FOR REPAIRS FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK *SC

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. THREE OF THE TIMES IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP WITH DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEMS, TWO TIMES FOR U-JOINTS AND ONCE FOR A BEARING TO THE DRIVESHAFT. ANOTHER TWO TIMES THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR. NOW AFTER 43,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND SINCE THE WARRANTY IS ONLY FOR 36,000 MILES IT IS NOW GOING TO COST $2800.00 TO REPAIR IT. I FEEL THAT A TRANSMISSION IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED SINCE ALL THE MAINTENANCE SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT WAS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALSO NEVER RECEIVED AND OF THE RECALL NOTICES I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST A LITTLE LONGER THAN 43,000 MILES. *JB

BRAKE LIGHTS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE LIGHTS REPLACED 3 TIMES ON MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER. MY FAMILY OWNS SEVERAL TRAILBLAZERS (2002 AND 2003 MODEL YEARS) AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS HAD AT LEAST ONE DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT, SOME VEHILCES WITH MULTIPLE FAILURES. CAN BE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT THAT FAILS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZERS WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE ROAD.*AK

POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED WHILE THE DRIVER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER WAS TURNING STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GO STRAIGHT IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION. *AK *NM

ONGOING BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE ON '02 CHEV TRAILBLAZER. IN THE LAST YEAR OR MORE, I REPLACED THE DRIVER-SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BULB FOUR TIMES AND ONCE FOR THE BACK-UP BULB. MOST TIMES THE BULB LOOKS FINE BUT I REPLACE ANYWAY. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. ACCORDING TO CHEV PARTS DEALER, THE SOCKETS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD GETS CORRODED AND CAUSES A SHORT, SO I REPLACED THE "CIRCUIT" BOARD (OUT OF POCKET COSTS) ON 2/14/04 BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT STILL DOESN'T LIGHT UP. I LOVED DRIVING THE VEHICLE BUT THIS COULD BE A DEAL- KILLER FOR GM IN THE FUTURE. THEY HAD BETTER RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE, OR THERE WILL BE SEVERAL OTHERS LIKE ME WHO WILL GO TO ANOTHER MANUFACTURER.*AK

MY WIFE WAS TRAVELLING ON I 80 WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ITS ELECTRICAL POWER, SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. SHE WAS STRANDED FOR APPROX. 3 HOURS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.

OUR 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS PROBLEMS WITH ITS LIGHTS. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. WE KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND SEE MANY ON THE ROADS WITH BRAKE LIGHTS OUT.*AK

VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP ON FAILING, BULBS BURN OUT VERY OFTEN. *AK

MY BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY TAIL LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED THIS WAS DUE TO A SOCKET WIRE SHORT THAT BLEW OUT THE BULB . BULB WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. *AK

BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT 5 TIMES IN AS MANY MONTHS. VEHICLE IDOLS EXTREMELY HIGH, SHIFTS HARD INTO SECOND GEAR AND BAD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING.

VEHICLE TRANSFERCASE SHIFTED WITHOUT COMMAND ON WET ICE RESULTING IN SLIDING LEFT OF CENTER GOING INTO DITCH STRIKING CULVERT BECOMING AIRBORNE LANDING ON TOP . VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL BY INSURANCE COMPANY. *LA

FAILURE OF THE ENGINE OF A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN NOVEMBER OF 2003. AFTER CHANGING THE ENGINE, BROKEN CYLINDERS IN THE NEW ENGINE (AFTER LESS THAN 1000 MILES!) IN JANUARY OF 2004. *LA

PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN MARCH 2002. SINCE JUNE 2002 HAVE HAD IT NUMEROUS TIMES TO DEALER FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. A/C WON'T WORK ENTIRE INTRUEMENT PANEL BLACKOUTS,SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY CANNOT FIND CAUSE. INSUFFCIENT LUBRICATION FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT SHAFT SEALS, THEY SAID THEY LUBRICATED THEM, ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER NEEDED TO HAVE SEALS REPLACED. SERVICE 4WD LIGHT,ABS LIGHT, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME, THEN HEATER FAN WOULDN'T WORK. CALLED GARAGE CANNOT TAKE IT IN FOR ANOTHER WEEK. HAVE JUST WRITTEN A LETTER TO GM AND CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I DO NOT WANT THE CAR ANYMORE. IT ONLY HAS 19,500 MILES. 3000 WERE JUST PUT ON IT OVER X-MAS, WE DROVE TO FLA. KEYS AND BACK. *AK

VEHICLE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH FMVSS 225 FOR THE LATCH SYSTEM AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. BECAUSE OF THE REAR SEAT DESIGN INSTALLATION OF A REAR FACING SEAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE.*AK

CONSUMER WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER IT OVER TURNED TWICE AS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE STEERING. *PH WHILE DRIVING THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GOING OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. THE CONSUMER OVERCORRECTED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY WENT TOO FAR OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS IN THE AIR. THE CONSUMER THEN CORRECTED TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT SIDE TIRES CAME OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE THEN WENT INTO A SKID OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT. THE VEHICLE STRUCK AN EMBANKMENT AND THE CONSUMER'S CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. THE IMPACT BENT THE STEERING WHEEL AND RENDERED THE CONSUMER UNCONSCIOUS. THE VEHICLE THE OVERTURNED 1-2 TIMES AND THE CONSUMER WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED RIB FRACTURES, JOINT SEPARATION, UPPER AND LOWER BACK INJURIES. *NM

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THESE REASONS AND MORE. FAULTY BACK LIGHT- DVD SYSTEMS. ON TOP OF ALL THESE IT HAS HAD THREE RECALLS IN THE NINE MONTHS I'VE OWNED IT. BOUGHT IT NEW!

IN NOVEMBER OF 2002, JN AUTOMOTIVE HAS REVERSED THE ODOMETER ON MY VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL ODOMETER LAW. I JUST WANT TO FIND SOME RESOURCES THAT WILL HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SITUATION.

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH "MEMORY" MIRRORS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO RETURN TO THE LAST STORED POSITION WHEN THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY IS USED. INSTEAD THEY DRIVE TO AN EXTREME POSITION, MAKE A LOUD CLICKING NOISE, AND STAY THAT WAY. MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE AND FOUND THE MIRRORS POINTING TOWARD THE PAVEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND HAS FIXED IT IN THE 2003 MODEL. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN ALL 2002 TRAILBLAZERS AND GMC ENVOYS. THERE IS AN INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETIN AT CHEVROLET THAT EXPLAINS IT.
