MY WIFE HAS A 2-YEAR OLD CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER. THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT HAS BURNED OUT TWICE AND THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT HAS BURNED OUT ONCE. I'VE NOTICED MANY TRAIL BLAZERS ON THE ROAD WITH BURNED OUT BRAKE LIGHTS. IS THIS A QUALITY ISSUE OR A DESIGN ISSUE? IS GM AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM? ARE THEY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT? THANK YOU. *JB

2002 TRAILBLAZER LS. LEFT BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUES TO FAIL. EACH TIME I PULL THE BULB OUT, IT IS OK, SO I PUT IT BACK IN AND IT WORKS FOR A DAY OR TWO. I HAVE NOW NOTICED THAT IT SEEMS TO WORK LONGER IF YOU PULL THE BULB OUT SLIGHTLY INSTEAD OF SEATING IT FULLY INTO THE SOCKET. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO MY SON, AN ASE CERTIFIED MR. GOODWRENCH TECHNICIAN, EMPLOYED FOR YEARS BY GMC AND CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS. BRAKE LIGHTS GOING OUT ARE GOING TO EVENTUALLY CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT, AND I DON'T THINK CHEVROLET WANTS THAT! MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!! *JB

THE VEHICLE RAN ROUGH AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE SEVEN TIMES BUT HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. *AK

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF SAFETY ISSUES. THE FIRST WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS OF THE CAR HAVING SPELLS WHERE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME I HAD TO STOP THE CAR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN FOR REPAIR. THE HAVE SINCE REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND ISSUE WAS THE CAR WAS STALLING INTERMITTENTALY. THE FINAL TIME I HAD IT TOWED IN AND THERE WAS SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE THEY HAVE RESOLVED. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO RESOLVE THE THIRD ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THE CAR ENGINE IS REVING VERY LOUDLY AND IF I ACCELERATE BEYOND 40 MILES/HOUR THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP YET BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN IN ON THIS ISSUE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CLASSIC CHEVROLET AND THEY LIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD THE LATCH SYSTEM AND WHEN MY SON WAS BORN IN MAY I FOUND OUT THAT IN FACT IT DID NOT HAVE THE LATCH SYSTEM. GMC HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO WAY TO REPROMAND THE DEALERSHIP FOR LYING ABOUT SAFETY FEATURES ON CARS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANTED A NEW SAFE CAR TO START A FAMILY AND I ENDED UP WITH A LEMON OF A CAR THAT IS THE MOST MECHANICALLY UNSTABLE THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRANDED WHEN I WAS PREGNANT NEARLY AN DOZEN TIMES.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING OR AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. *AK THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND ACT AS IF IT HAD NO POWER, THE ENGINE BLEW AND WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND ENGINE EXPERIENCED SLIGHT MISS WHEN TRAVELING 65-70 MPH. THE DEALER PLACED FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *SCC *JB

I HAVE HAD EVERY RECALL THERE IS AND THEN SOME THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST. BRAKE LIGHTS IS A BIG ISSUE, THEY ARE NOT ON THE RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE! THEY ARE NOT SEALED PROPERLY SO THE CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND THEN THEY GO OUT CONSTANTLY! IF YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, YOU PAY!!*AK

CONSUMER STATES IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH ADJUSTABLE MIRRORS. MIRRORS MOVE WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW CONSUMER TO SEE VEHICLES ON EITHER SIDE OF HIM. HE HAS HAD A COUPLE OF NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE AFTER THE MIRRORS WERE ADJUSTED WHILE DRIVING THEY READJUSTED BY THEMSELVES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN REPAIR SHOP 4-5 TIMES FOR THE SAME THING, AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF PROBLEM.*AK THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN THE IDLE POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED. AS OF 07/07/2003, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH LOSS OF POWER AND THE SERVICE DEPT. HAS YET TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *PH. THE AIR CONDITION DEVELOPED A FOUL ODOR WHICH WAS PRESENT AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE SUN, THE ODOR WAS DETECTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE AC WAS TURNED ON, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED TIMES AND THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED, THE AIR CONDITION NOW TAKES A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO COOL THE VEHICLE AND PRODUCE COLD AIR. *JB *SCC *JB

CONSUMER STATES PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FITS TOO TIGHTLY, PASSENGER UNABLE TO MOVE. DEALER REPLACED SEAT,BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. *AK DEALER BROUGHT IN A 2003 TRAILBLAZER. THE SEAT BELTS DID THE SAME THING. THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT BELT ISN'T ADJUSTABLE AND CUTS ACROSS YOUR THROAT, DEPENDING ON YOU SIZE (DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE). CONSUMER HAD TO PURCHASE SPECIAL SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS TO MAKE THE BELTS WEARABLE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY-SAFE. CONSUMER HAD RECENTLY DISCOVERED THE TIGHTNESS OF THE REAR SEAT BELTS. *PH

CONSUMER STATED THAT WITHOUT WARNING THE HATCHBACK EXPLODED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. CONSUMER BELIEVED IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW. THE ARMS TO OPEN THE WINDOW FORCED THE GLASS OUTWARD UP TO 10 FEET. IF THE GLASS GOES, THE ARMS ARE FORCED TO OPEN LIKE TWO CATAPULTS. DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT UNDER WARRANTY. *PH

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THEY LOST STEERING CONTROL CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALER NOTIFIED. *PH CONSUMER WAS CUT OFF BY A TRUCK LOSING CONTROL. REGAINED CONTROL THEN BRAKES FELT LIKE A LACK OF PRESSURE. STEERING LOOSENED THEN LOCKED UP CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. GM STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS. CONSUMER AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY FEELS THERE IS. INSURANCE CO. STATED IT COULD'VE BEEN THE VACUUM TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN OR THE LOWER CONTROL PANEL SNAPPING WHICH CAUSES THESE SYMPTOMS. *PH

CAR SEATS INSTALLED IN OUR 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ARE FLIPPED TO THEIR SIDE BY THE SEAT BELTS. WE HAVE HAD IT INSTALLED BY 4 DIFERENT PEOPLE AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, THE CARSEAT CURRENTLY NOT INSTALLED TO OUR LIKING AND COMFORT. CHEVROLET AWARE OF PROBLEM, AND STATE THEY CANNOT HELP US AT THIS TIME. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. CONSUMER MADE CONTACT WITH DEALERSHIP. *AK

AT MEDIUM TO HIGH SPEEDS TRANSFER CASE ENGAGES WITHOUT WARNING.*AK

AIR/HEAT VENTS HAVE A REALLY BAD ODOR. THE DEALER HAS CLEANED AND SPRAY SOMETHING IN THEM AND SUGGESTED I DO THE SAME. I HAVE DONE SO. THIS CAUSES A SEVERE SMELL IN THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THAT MAKES OCCUPANTS SICK, THEN THE SMELL WILL DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEN RETURN. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS SOME TYPE OF MOLD OR MILDEW IN THE VENTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS PUTTING GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE GAS PUMP KEEPS STOPPING - AS IF THE CAR IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH STATION I GO TO. THE DEALER REPLACED SOME FILLER HOSES OR SOMETHING AFTER I HAD TAKEN IT IN A FEW TIMES, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND SOMETIMES I ONLY FILL THE CAR UP 1/2 - 3/4 FULL BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL IF IT IS FULL OR NOT. I SQUEEZE THE HANDLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY KICKS OFF. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN OTHERS ARE FUELING THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I TURN THE NOZZLE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OR PULL IT PART OF THE WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO FREQUENTLY OVERFILL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS FULL. I NOTICED SOMEONE ELSE REPORTED THIS AS A CONSUMER COMPLAINT - SO IT'S NOT JUST MY TRAILBLAZER WITH THE PROBLEM! IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO FILL THE TANK WHEN YOU CAN ONLY PUT 1 SECOND WORTH OF GAS IN AT A TIME! NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT, SO I AM PROBABLY STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM AS LONG AS I HAVE THE VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 37,000 MILES AND THEREFORE AM OUT OF MY INITIAL WARRANTY PERIOD. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE MY BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED BECAUSE WATER KEEPS GETTING INTO THE AREA CAUSING SHORTS IN THE BOARD. WATER COMES OFF THE REAR TIRES AND DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE TAIL LIGHT CASING AND MAKES CONTACT WITH THE CIRCUIT BOARD BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROTECTION FOR THE BOARD. NOW THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I AM FORCED TO CONTINUE REPLACING THIS ITEM EVERY TIME IT OCCURS. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, INDIVIDUALS CAN BE TICKETED FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *AK THE CONSUMER SUFFERED INJURIES. *JB

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT 40 MPH BRAKES ENGAGED WITHOUT BEING DEPRESSED WHEN VEHICLE WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER. IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED VEHICLE HESITATES TO STOP. THIS RESULTS IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CAUSE UNKNOWN.*AK

THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED, ON BOTH SIDES, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ASSEMBLY INTO WHICH THE BULBS PLUGS INTO, ON BOTH SIDES. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. EITHER THE BULBS BURN OUT, OR THEY BECOME LOOSE. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF THAT BRAKE LIGHT.

DOORS RATTLED AND PHYSICALLY MOVED UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROADWAY. A/C DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN. WIND NOISE AROUND DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT WINDOWS. FRONT WINDSHIELD MOLDING CAME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. *PH

ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS MY TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT START, AND ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SPILLED ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK CAME. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME ITS THE ALARM SYSTEM, BUT THE ALARM IS NOT OUT OF THE CAR AND IT STILL DOESN'T START SOME TIME. *PH

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. I HAVE A STACK OF PAPERWORK OF EVERYTIME I BROUGHT THIS INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX AND HAVE HAD ABOUT 5 RENTAL CARS DUE TO THIS. NOW AFTER SEARCHING THIS SITE I FIND THERE HAVE BEEN ALOT OF RECALLS ON THESE AND I HAVENT BEEN INFORMED ABOUT ANY OF THEM BESIDES THE ONE FOR SECURITY. PLEASE HELP ME. IM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS TRUCK. *AK WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 48,594 MILES. *KMB

DONT KNOW WHERE TO START. SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS (SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM SUSPENSION). METAL GRINDING NOISE IN BRAKES, TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE, SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE COME ON FOR NO REASON, REAR LATCH HAS COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING, TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS BURNING OUT FREQENTLY, TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING ON TAKE OFF, NO CAUSE FOUND IN THE SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THIS. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT. JUST HAPPENED YESTURDAY. DON'T FEEL LIKE I CAN BLAME THE DEALERSHIP AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS. I THINK THE FAULT LIES ON THE SHOULDERS OF GM. *AK

REAR VIEW OUTSIDE MIRRORS CHANGE SETTINGS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. DEALER HAD ONE RECALL. DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. ............ ALSO INTERMITTENT LOSS OF HIGH BEAM..... THEY EITHER COME ON OR DON'T COME ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR.

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT UPSHIFT. ENGINE AT 3000 RPM WILL NOT GO OVER 10 - 12 MPH. THIS WILL LAST FROM 1/4 TO A MILE. NO POWER. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER, SAYS THAT GM KNOWS OF PROBLEM. REGIONAL REPRESNTATIVE GEORGE BELL DOES NOT RETURN CALLS. NO HELP FROM GM. *AK

THE WIPER MOTOR FAILED TO OPERATE AFTER RUNNING THE CAR THROUGH A HIGH PRESSURE CAR WASH. THIS IS THE 5TH FAILURE OF THE WIPER MOTER SINCE NOVEMBER 2002.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ODOMETER DROPPED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN TO 10 MPH. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

I HAVE MOTORIZED MEMORY MIRRORS ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE MEMORY FUNCTION DOES NOT PROPERLY WORK, AND ON OCCASION THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS WILL MOVE WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.*AK

MY SERVICE 4WD LIGHT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE JANUARY 2003. MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST ALL OF JULY. CHEVY HAS REFUSED TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE STATING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO "FIX" IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT I AM FIGHTING THIS. ADDITIONALLY, UPON MY RETURN FROM A THREE WEEK VACATION IN MARCH, I FOUND MY TRAILBLAZER COMPLETELY DEAD. CHEVY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

PROBLEMS WITH 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE HEADLAMPS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE 4WD LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD, WHILE DRIVING, THE GEAR SWITCHED TO 4WD WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK.*MR *TS. ALSO ON 2 OCCASIONS THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE. *JB

WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM PARK VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL LOW SETTING WITHOUT SELECTING THAT OPTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 7/10/2003. *AK

ENGINE STALLS AFTER START REGARDLESS OF TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTED. WILL RESTART, BUT IS STALLING AFTER BACKING OUT INTO A MAJOR LOCAL RAOD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, POSING A REAR END COLLISION RISK.*AK

ENGINE KNOCK AND RATTLE ON COLD START, WORSENS WHEN LOADED (IN GEAR). AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, KNOCKING DIMINISHES. COINCIDES WITH INTERMITTENT COLD ENGINE STALL WITH NO SES LIGHT SET.*AK

WHINING HEARD FROM ENGINE AREA AFTER WARM UP. HEARD FROM 2000 RPM AND UP DURING ACCELERATION. AFTER REACHING DESIRED SPEED (CITY, HIGHWAY, OR RURAL) AND MAINTAINING STEADY SPEED NOISE GOES AWAY. SOUNDS LIKE A IMMINENT STEERING RACK FAILURE AS DEALER HAS CHANGED P/S PUMP, CHANGED FLUID, AND FLUSHED LINES TRYING TO CORRECT PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. HAPPENS UPON EVERY START AND ACCELERATE. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION.*MR THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO A MODE WHICH DID NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL OVER TO 15 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN THE DRIVE POSITION. *TS *JB

SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, (FEB. '02) TO PRESENT (JULY '03) MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LTZ 2WD HAS FREQUENT-TO-CONSTANT "PINGING" IN ENGINE WHILE ACCELERATING; FLAT SURFACES AND INCLINES. HIGHER OCTANE GASOLINE DOES NOT REMEDY. REPRESENTATIVE AT DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. STATES THIS IS "NORMAL" WITH TRAI*BLAZERS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HEADS.*AK

SINCE PURCHASE (FEB. '02) TO PRESENT (JULY '03) THERE HAS BEEN A "HUMMING" / VIBRATING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT IS VERY PROMINENT DURING SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS IN PARKING LOTS AND WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. REPRESENTATIVES AT DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS "NORMAL WITH TRAILBLAZERS".*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL #03V096000 REPAIRS CONCERNING INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER IN MAY OF 2003. VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ,AND IS CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALER (FRED BEANS CHEVROLET). *AK

SERVICE 4WD LIGHT COMES ON, VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING TURNED. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER AT TIMES. *AK

WHEN SOMETHING WAS TOWED ON THE VEHICLE'S HITCH, IT BOUNCED UP AND DOWN WHICH CAUSED THE UTILITY TRAILER TO BE LOST WHILE DRIVING. *JB RECEIVER HOLE IN HITCH NEEDED TO BE DECREASED IN SIZE. *TT *JB

THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT IN THE LAST 3 MOS. 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT SEEMS TO GO OUT EVERY MONTH. I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKING UP BUT THOUGHT I WAS JUST DOING IT WRONG. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS I NOTICED THAT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. I HAVE HAD THE TRAIL BLAZER IN THE SHOP FOR THE NOISE UNDER THE FRONT WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. THE BACK GATE WOULD POP OPEN JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DEALER ADJUSTED THE LATCHING HOOK. HAS NOT DONE IT SINCE. NOW AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE 8 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE JUST RECEIVED 2 NOTICES. THIS IS A BIT UNNERVING. *JB

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET STATING THAT SOME 2002 TRAIL BLAZERS MAY EXPERIENCE A CRACKLING OF AN ENGINE CYLINDER BORE LINER. THIS WILL CAUSE ENGINE NOISE, POOR PERFORMANCE, AND OR STALLS WITH NO ENGINE RESTART. HOWEVER, THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DAMAGED. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND DO NOT THINK IT IS SAFE TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD STALL AT ANY TIME OR PROVIDE "POOR PERFORMANCE". I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2002 TRAILBLAZER - RANGING FROM THE VEHICLE STOPPING AS I'M GOING 55 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON, I'VE RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES AND THEN THIS SPECIAL POLICY NOTICE. I THINK THE ENGINE SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *JB

PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAG DASH LIGHT, FAST ENGINE IDLE, AIR CONDITIONER, REAR HATCH INNER STRAP BROKE, ETC...*MR THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT. THE SIR MODULE WAS REPLACED, AND THERE WAS POOR TERMINAL CONNECTION AT THE SIR WIRING HARNESS, AND WAS TRACED/REPAIRED ON THE LEFT SIDE IMPACT CONNECTOR AND THE CODES WERE CLEARED. THE ENGINE IDLED FAST(ESPECIALLY AT START UP, AND THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS 13 MPG. THE RESULTS OF THE EVALUATION AND REPAIRS WERE: PASSENGER IMPACT CONNECTOR WAS LOOSE(REPOSITIONED/CONNECTED), IDLE WITHIN SPECIFICS, THE EMBLEM HAD FALLEN OFF, THE REAR HATCH INNER STRAP HAD BROKEN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO TAKE LONG TO SHIFT INTO GEAR(HAPPENED SOMETIMES WHEN COLD), AND THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED(J6355 POWER TRAIN CONTROLLER PCM). THERE WAS A THUMPING SOUND IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WHEN SHIFTED, THE A/C WOULD BLOW OUT COLD AIR WHEN THE A/C INDICATOR WAS OFF, HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT OF THE DEFROSTER AREA ON THE DASH WHEN THE INDICATOR WAS SET FOR HEATER ON THE FLOOR, THE ENGINE MADE A TAPPING SOUND, THE LIFT GATE WEATHER STRIP HAD COME APART, AND THE BATTERY KEPT LOSING CHARGE(3 OCCURRENCES). *SCC *JB
