2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

UPDATE OF COMPLAINT 10003216. GRINDING NOISE IN TRANSFER CASE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65-70 MPH, WITH 4WD MODE SWITCH LIGHTS JUMPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 2WD AND 4WD. STOPPED OFF FREEWAY TO CALL DEALER, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, TOWED TO DEALER. TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE FAILED.*JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE WIPER MOTOR HAVING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE WIPERS WOULD ACTIVATE AFTER GOING THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH, AND WOULD RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. ON THIS OCCURRENCE, THEY WOULD NOT OPERATE, DURING A HEAVY RAIN.*JB

2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT WITH B.F. GOODRICH "OPEN TRAIL T/A" M+S TIRES (P245/70R16 WOL). THIS INCIDENT MARKS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHEN THE TIRES ENCOUNTER FRESHLY-WETTED PAVEMENT OR ANY WET EARTH ON THE PAVEMENT ALL TIRE ADHESION VANISHES AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES AN UNCONTROLLABLE SLED AS IF IT WERE RACING ACROSS ICE. THIS EFFECT IS NOT SPEED DEPENDENT. THE FIRST INCIDENT ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR-END COLLISION. THE SECOND AND THIRD INCIDENTS NEARLY RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE LEAVING THE ROAD. THESE TIRES APPEAR TO BE SAFE ONLY ON CLEAN DRY PAVEMENT.

ON SOME COLD STARTS THE AUTO TRANSMISSION STARTS OFF IN SECOND OR THIRD GEAR, IT STAYS THAT WAY UNTIL THE VEHICLE WARMS UP. THIS IS PRECEDED BY THE ENGINE IDLEING FASTER THAN USUAL ON THE COLD START. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPEING A FEW TIMES PER MONTH. TWO DEALERS HAVE FAILED TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WOULD LOCK. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PH

THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY LOCKED UP, THROWING PASSENGERS FORWARD WITH GREAT FORCE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, AT APPROXIMATELY FIVE MPH, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY ONE MPH, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL THRU THE STOP SIGN, ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT HIT THE CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE CURB, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVY SERVICE FACILITY, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS AN INHERENT BEHAVIOR WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS. I TEND TO AGREE WITH HIM AS MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO HAD DEMONSTRATED THE SAME BEHAVIOR. THERE WERE NO APPARENT LEAKS IN THE SYSTEM AND THE MASTER CYCLINDER WAS FULL. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE SERVICE FACILITY WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE BEHAVIOR THE NEXT MORNING AND REFERRED ME TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHERE A CASE HAS BEEN FILED.

THE VEHICLE IS NOT STABLE. THERE HAS BEEN TWO DIFFERENT COLLISIONS BECAUSE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WILL SWIRL AROUND. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. PH

THE 4WD SYSTEM SWITCHES BETWEEN 2HI, A4WD, AND 4HI MODES ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE ROTARY SELECTOR BLINK, THERE IS A SLIGHT JERK FELT IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AS THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTS, DEALER CAN NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. ITIT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 4 TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK THREE TIMES, ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS...*AK

I HAVE A 2002 TRAILBLAZER WITH A AIR CONDITION PROBLEM THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD US TO SPRAY THE TRAILBLAZER WITH LYSOL IN THE AIR CONDITION VENTS IN ODER TO KEEP THE MELDOW SMELL FROM COMING BACK INTO THE TRUCK ,THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE THE AIR CONDITION.

2ND FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BEING INSTALLED... WINDSHILD WIPERS WOULD GO ON ALL BY THEIR SELFS... UNTIL FUSE PULLED OR ENGINE SHUT OFF.. DEALER IS TELLING ME WATER IS GETTING INTO MOTOR HOUSING AND SHORTING OUT MOTOR.. ??? ALREADY SECOND TIME IN LAST 2 MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS THERE IS A VIBRATING SENSATION. TS ALSO, WHEN STARTING ENGINE,SOMETIMES THERE IS A HIGHER THAN NORMAL ENGINE IDLE, AND IT WON'T IDLE DOWN. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE IDLE IS STILL HIGH, BUT IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF LOW GEAR. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LTZ. WHEN DRIVING AT AROUND 54 MPH AND 1600 RPM'S THE SUV PRODUCES A VIBRATION THAT CAN BE HEARD AND FELT THROUGHT OUT THE VECHICLE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE NEITHER GM OR THE DEALERSHIPS KNOWS WHAT IS CAUSING THE VIBRATION. IT IS WITH OUT A DOUBT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I ALSO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SUV HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. DOES IT DO DAMAGE TO MY SUV EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS? MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO GO WRONG AT 54 MPH. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. *PLEASE NOTE I ENTERED TODAYS DATE BELOW BUT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE SUV BRAND NEW.

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED, 65-70 MPH, A GRINDING, RATCHETING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE DRIVETRAIN AND THE LIGHTS ON THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCH MOVED BACK AND FORTH FROM 2WD TO 4HI AND 4LOW. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, THEY FIRST COMPLETED THE RECALL #01065 TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSFER CASE. WHEN THEY ROAD TESTED THE CAR THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE EARLIER COMPLAINT OF GRINDING METAL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT THE RECALL PROBABLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DID ALL THAT METAL GRINDING NOISE DO TO THE LONGEVITY OF THE TRANSFER CASE, AND WHAT IF IT FAILS AFTER THE 3 YEAR, 36 MONTH WARRANTY?

ON FOUR PRIOR OCCASSIONS, MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE FROM TWO WHEEL DRIVE. THE SWITCH INDICATOR REMAINED IN "2 WHEEL HI" BUT THE FLASHING LED WAS ALSO INDICATED ON THE "4 WHEEL HI." THIS LATEST INCIDENT, WHICH OCCURED ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, CAUSED ME TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WITHOUT DAMAGE. THE OTHER THREE INCIDENTS' ALSO OCCURED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE STALL - TRUCK STALLED AND ALL LIGHTING AND COMPONENTS WENT DEAD WHILE SLOW TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. AFTER 10 MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO START THE TRUCK FAILED RESULTING IN IT BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE COMPUTERS IN THE TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN FINE EVER SINCE. I HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION FOR THE ENVOY AND BRAVADA BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. MY TRUCK IS A TRAILBLAZER AND DID EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE TWO SISTER TRUCKS THAT SHARE THE SAME MECHANICALS.

2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER- WHILE TRAVELING ON I-76 IN PHILADELPHIA, PA AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MHP THE ENGINE IN MY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE, LOST POWER & SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 5,400 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. FORTUNATELY, I WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE OUTCOME OF THE PROBLEM WAS ENGINE FAILURE, A LINER WITHIN THE ENGINE CAME LOOSE & CAUSED PISTON FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED & THE ENGINE REPLACED.

CONSUMER STATES THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE ONLY HAD 200 MILES. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND 2 WEEKS LATER REPLACEMENT BEGAN LOSING POWER. DEALER SERVICED, BUT PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ENGAGED WHILE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RAN CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL SERVICED BY THE DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR WITH A DIFFERENT KIND.

I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS WITH APPROXIMATELY 11,000 MILES WHICH HAD AN ENGINE FAILURE ON THANKSGIVING 2002. ENTERING AND ACCELERATING TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY IN ABOUT 25 DEGREE TEMPERATURE AND ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED FOLLOWED BY REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT AND THEN ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT NUMBER 4 CYCLINDER CRACKED. THEY FURTHER ADVISED ME THAT GM IS AWARE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN SOME TRAILBLAZER ENGINES THAT WAS CAUSED BY A MISCALIBRATION OF THE MACHINE USED TO MANUFACTURE THE ENGINE. GM REPLACED MY ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THIS SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO ROLL THE VEHICLE TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE SAFELY. FROM NHTSA WEB SITE.

FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT BLOWN FOR 2ND TIME. TS

CONSUMER STATES, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS

FIRST LET ME TELL YOU THAT WE ARE DIE HARD CHEVY CUSTOMERS. WE STILL OWN MY '82 CHEVY SILVERADO PICK UP AND IT'S RUNNING FINE. LAST MAY WE TRADED IN OUR LITTLE '97 CAVALIER THAT WE HAD TAKEN ON NUMEROUS TRIPS AND PRETTY MUCH TROUBLE FREE THE FIVE YEARS WE OWNED HER. THEN WE BOUGHT THE '02 TRAIL BLAZER. HAVEN'T GONE ON TOO MANY TRIPS WITH HIM YET, BUT EXCEPT FOR ONE PERFORMANCE FLAW THAT WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IS CAUSING US CONCERN WE LIKE THE CAR SO FAR. THE CONCERN COMES WHEN WE HAVE TO BRAKE SUDDENLY TO AVOID A HAZARD IN THE ROAD. THE CAR TENDS TO BECOME SQUIRRELIE AND FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO FLIP OVER. RATHER FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU NEED TO REACT QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY ARE FACED WITH THIS UNSETTLING SITUATION. IS THERE OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIANCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRAIL BLAZERS?

THE ENGINE MADE A RUMBLING/CLICKING SOUND, SHUT OFF SUDDENLY, THE POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT, AND THE POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TS

THE WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY SNAPPED WHERE THE MOTOR CONNECTS TO THE WIPER ARMS MAKING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INOPERABLE. SECOND FAILURE WAS WIPER MOTOR DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THE WIPER FAILED TO OPERATE DURING RAIN. ALSO TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES AFTER CAR WASH BUT COULDN'T BE TURNED OFF. THE WIPERS WORKED PROPERLY AFTER THE WIPER MOTOR DRIED OUT.

AFTER NOTICING A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND DISCOVERING A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE FUEL TANK, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE FUEL TANK HAD A SPLIT IN THE TANK WHERE THE FILLER NECK JOINS THE TANK. TS

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARKING WITH ENGINE ON, CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE IN ANOTHER GEAR ON ITS OWN. CONSUMER IS AFRAID TRANSMISSION MAY BY DESTROYED. TS

LOOSE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK. DRIVER'S SEAT BACK HAS OVER 2 INCHES OF BACK AND FORTH MOVEMENT AND MAKES A "CLUNKING NOISE" UPON ACCELERATION / DECELERATION. WHEN DECELERATING, THE SEAT BACK MOVES FORWARD CAUSING THE DRIVER'S TORSO TO ALSO MOVE FORWARD. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO PUT EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH CAUSES EXCEPTIONALLY HARD, FAST, AND UNCONTROLLED STOPS. SINCE THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS PART OF THE SEAT BACK, THIS MAY ALSO CAUSE THE DRIVER NOT TO BE PROPERLY RETAINED TO THE SEAT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED ON 12/7/02. TS

VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 6 TIMES. VEHICLE PURCHASED IN OCT 01. FIRST INSTANCE WAS JAN 2002. WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROX 65-70 MPH IN A4WD. VEHICLE SHIFTED DOWN INTO 4LO CAUSING LOSS OF POWER & CONTROL. SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF 4WD UNTIL IT HAD BEEN PARKED & SHUT OFF.

AUGUST 2002, PROBLEMS WERE AGAIN EXPERIENCED AS 4HI AND 4LO LIGHTS WOULD FLASH SIMULTANEOUSLY. DEALER REPLACED TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MODULE. NOV 2002 WHEN SWITCHING INTO A4WD, NO LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER CASE UPDATE WAS INSTALLED. FIVE DAYS LATER WHILE IN A4WD, LIGHTS FLASHED FOR 4HI. SHIFTING WAS COMPLETED. WHILE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, 4LO LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. WHEN PRESSING GAS LOSS OF POWER WAS EXPERIENCED. LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH UNTIL VEHICLE WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL. VEHICLE SHIFTED TO 4LO. EACH TIME SHIFTING WAS COMPLETED THERE WAS A JERK IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE. SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4LO UNTIL TURNED OFF. DEALER TEST DROVE FOR SEVERAL DAYS & COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE WAS TOLD THAT THEY HOPED WHATEVER WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS WOULD COMPLETELY FAIL & MAKE THE NEEDED CORRECTION OBVIOUS. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IN 2HI, WITHIN 2 MILES, 4HI LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, SHIFTED DOWN & SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON. RETURNED TO

ON 12/13/01, CONSUMER HAD RECALL 01V283000 REMEDY PERFORMED ON THE TRANSFER CASE. ON 1/6/02 WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE, THE BACK END OF TRUCK STARTED TO "KICK" OUT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE RESULTING IN A COLLISION. ON 11/26/02 WHILE DRIVING WITH 4-WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY SWITCHING FROM 4-WHEEL LOW TO 4-WHEEL HIGH. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT PROBLEM EXISTS. TS

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 80 IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE LOW AT 65MPH. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND I LOOKED AT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH AND THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING FOR ALL WHEEL DRIVE. THIS SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED TO THAT POSITION. THEN THE RPMS ON THE VEHICLE RED LINED AND THE LIGHT WENT TO SOLID GREEN ON 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A 360 DEGREE SPIN ON THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING OR ANYONE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST IN A DITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WHEN DOING SO THE SELECTOR SWITCH WAS SHIFTING BETWEEN ALL THE OPTIONS FROM 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND LET THE VEHICLE RUN WHILE I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING IN PARK. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE SHIFTED THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD 2 TO 3 FEET. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND ARE AFRAID TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE COMPUTER IS SHOWING NO MALFUNCTION CODES. THEY HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED TO THEM. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. DT

WHEN FRONT PASSENGER MOVES FORWARD THE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK UP ON OCCASION. SOMETIMES YOU ARE UNABLE TO RELEASE THE INERTIA LOCK AND MUST TAKE THE SEAT BELT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS FAILURE HAS CAUSED ME TO BE LOCKED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSE GREAT DISCOMFORT. IT WILL NOT RELEASE WITHOUT TOTALLY RETRACTING THE SEAT BELT MEANING THAT YOU MUST TAKE THE BELT OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME AND DID NOT CONSIDER IT TO BE A PROBLEM UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DT

CONSUMER STATES AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED TO ALL WHEEL DRIVE. CONSUMER STATES THERE WAS A TREMEDOUS LOSS OF POWER, TOSSING CONSUMER LIKE A RAG DOG. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

I HAVE BEEN TOLD VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT SOUND LIKE IT AND I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY POLICE THINKING I AM RACING ENGINE OR DRIVING UNSAFELY.*TS *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**770110

I AM WANTING TO REPORT A PROBLEM IN LABELING ON THE CENTER POSITION OF THE BACK SEAT. IT HAS A LABEL SHOWING YOU CAN PUT A CHILD SEAT THERE. HOWEVER THE MANUAL SAYS YOU CAN NOT. I AM A CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIAN AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THIS LABELING COULD BE CORRECTED AS PARENTS WILL TRY TO PUT A CHILD SEAT IN THAT POSITION AND IT SHOULD NOT BE ACCORDING TO THE VEHICLE MANUAL. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND EXPLAINATION. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN A PHOTO OF THE LABEL AND CAN GET IT TO YOU ALONG WITH THE MANUAL SHOWING NOT TO PUT A CHILD SEAT IN THAT POSITION. THE MANUAL SAYS THE RESTRAINT WONT WORK PROPERLY. HOWEVER PARENTS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS. I AM AS A TECH. DT

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LOW. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS TO BE USE IN THE SHOWN WEATHER. PLEASE FURNISH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALERS IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MR

MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH OUTSIDE MIRRORS THAT HAVE A POSITION MEMORY FOR EACH DRIVER. WHEN I USE THE KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO RETURN TO THE LAST MEMORIZED POSITION. INSTEAD, THEY CONSISTENTLY MOVE TO AN EXTREME POSITION, MAKE A LOUD CLICKING SOUND. THEN STICK IN THAT POSITION. SEVERAL TIMES I'VE FOUND MYSELF TRING TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE USE OF MY SIDE MIRRORS BECAUSE THEY ARE POINTING TOWARD THE PAVEMENT. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND HAS CORRECTED IT ON THE 2003 MODEL, BUT REFUSES TO FIX MY VEHICLE. DT

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 40MPH THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED WITH A FRONTAL COLLISION. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOY PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

WIRING HARNESS BURNED UP. CAUSED DAMAGE TO CONTROL PANEL, DASH, COMPUTER SYSTEM. ENTIRE VEHICLE GUTTED TO REPLACE WIRING. A DOOR PANEL WAS BROKEN IN PROCESS. SEVERAL RATTLES NOW EXIST. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NO WAY OF KNOWING IF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. GM AGREED FOR REPURCHASE. HOWEVER, THEY DELAYED PROCEDURE SO THAT 0% FINANCING CAN NOT APPLY. ALSO WANTED US TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, BUY BACK AMOUNT SAID WE WOULD BE REIMBURCED, BUT WOULD NOT PUT IT IN WRITING. DT

THE FIRST TIME I HAD PROBLEMS WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO LYNCH SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND IT WAS TAKEN CARED OF THAT SAME DAY. ON 10/25/2002 MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT START FOR ME AT ALL. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO GILLESPIE CHEVY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND AS OF TODAY 10/29/2002 MY VEHICLE IS STILL THERE . I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT THAT WAS ALL I WAS TOLD. NOW I'M JUST SITTING AND WAITING. DT

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MEMORY MIRRORS, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE MIRRORS NEVER RETURN WHERE THEY WERE LAST SET, THE THE DRIVER ENTERS THE CAR THE DRIVER HAS TO ADJUST THE MIRRORS EACH TIME. *SCC
