CONSUMER STATES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.*JB

ENGINE PROBLEMS; VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES,AND THAT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 4 LO ON ITS OWN. CAUSED VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND COULD NOT BE SHIFTED BACK INTO 2 GEAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPLETELY SHORTED OUT. THERE WAS NO ILLUMINATION IN THE DASH. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON-HEARD A POP, AND THE ENTIRE WINDOW SHATTERED. FOR THE REAR SEATBELTS, THE INERTIA LOCKS ACTIVATE AND THE BELTS LOCK UP TOO EASILY, TRAPPING THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. TO RELEASE THE BELT, IT MUST BE COMPLETELY REMOVED AND REATTACHED. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION, DUE TO CHILD SEAT SAFETY DESIGN. BUT THIS DESIGN SEEMS DANGEROUS TO THE ADULT OR GROWN CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS.*AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE IT CRASHED INTO A TREE ON DRIVER'S SIDE AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. UPON IMPACT, SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK *SLC

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS DESIGNED TO LOCK AND NOT RELEASE IF THE SHOULDER BELT IS PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT. THIS CREATES A SAFTEY HAZARD. IF THE PASSENGER HAS TO REACH FOR SOMETHING THAT CASUSES THE SHOULDER BELT TO EXTEND COMPLETLY, YOU THEN HAVE TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT, RETRACT IT, THEN REBUCKLE THE BELT. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE PASSENGER IS OPEN TO INJURY SHOULD AN IMPACT OCCUR AT THE TIME THE BELT IS UNBUCKLED. IF THE BELT IS NOT UNBUCKLED TO RELEASE THE RETRACTOR, IT IS EXTREMEMLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO SIT IN THE SEAT AS THE BELT WILL PREVENT ANY FORWARD MOVEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT BELT AND NOT A FEATURE AS GENERAL MOTORS DESCRIBES IT. THIS OCCURS ON ANY GM SEAT WHERE THE BELT IS INTEGRATED WITH THE SEAT RATHER THAN MOUNTED TO THE FRAMEWORK OF THE CAR.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE WILL COME TO A STOP. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

NOT YOUR ORDINARY SAFETY DEFECT BUT AN UNSAFE CONDITION NONETHELESS. I LIVE IN ARIZONA, A PLACE THAT TENDS TO GET A LITTLE WARM. WHEN THE VEHICLE HEAT SOAKS IN THE SUN THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FAILS.THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE MAIN RECEIVER BOARD AND THE ( 2 ) ENTRY TRANSMITTERS WITH NO EFFECT OTHER THAN MODIFYING THE FAILURE CHARACTERISTICS. THE ( 2 ) KEY TRANSMITTERS ALSO DO NOT OPERATE THE ENTRY SYSTEM IN AN IDENTICAL MANNER. ONE WILL OPERATE ALL ENTRY SYSTEM FUNCTIONS, THE OTHER ( TRANSMITTER #2 ) WILL NOT. THIS WILL CREATE A SEVERE PROBLEM IF IMMEDIATE ACCESS IS REQUIRED TO THE VEHICLE AND YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE SYSTEM TO HAVE THE VEHICLE UNLOCKED WHEN YOU GET TO IT. MY BROTHER, ALSO THE OWNER OF A 2002 TRAILBLAZER, IS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THE SPRING RETRACTOR DOES NOT ALWAYS PULL THE BELT COMPLETELY CAUSING THE DOOR TO CLOSE ON THE BELT. IN THE EXTENDED POSITION THE SPRING DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH TORQUE TO RETRACT THE WEIGHT OF THE BELT AND THE CLIP.

HAD NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF THERE WAS TOO MUCH "PLAY" LIKE IT WAS "WOBBLY" ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING OVER A RAISED BUMP IN THE ROADWAYS: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD "GIVE" TOO MUCH. THIS HAD ALSO BEEN NOTICED BY ANOTHER PERSON WHO RECENTLY DROVE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. I HAD PLANNED ON GETTING THE VEHICLE'S UNDERCARRIAGE INSPECTED ON JUNE 8TH TO CONFIRM WHETHER THERE WAS CAUSE FOR ALARM. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 2ND. THIS ACCIDENT WAS UNFORESEEN .... IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE SPEED WAS NOT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, YET WHEN IT APPEARED THAT THE STEERING WAS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED, I WAS DRIVING EAST IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A TWO LANE ROADWAY, (THE OPPOSITE TWO LANE TRAFFIC IS DIVIDED BY AN ESPLANADE). THE VEHICLE VEERED INTO LEFT CORRESPONDING LANE, STRIKING THE EDGE OF THE ESPLANADE CURB WITH THE FRONT LEFT DRIVERS TIRE. THE CAR PROCEEDED TO NOT ONLY START A LEFT ROLLOVER, UP ONTO THE ESPLANADE, BUT APPARENTLY FLIPPED OVER FROM FRONT TO BACK, AND LANDED BACK UPRIGHT ALL THE WAY OVER THE ESPLANADE, ON THE OPPOSITE TWO LANE ROADWAY; AND FACING WEST --- THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT I WAS TRAVELING IN! THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TOTALLED...AND I AM CONCERNED THAT EITHER WAY, IF THERE IS A NEED FOR AN INVESTIGATION, OR IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL INCIDENCES LIKE THIS THAT CONSUMERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF, THEN I NEED TO KNOW. NOT TO MENTION THAT UNLESS THERE'S EVIDENCE OTHERWISE, I WOULD PROBABLY PURCHASE ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER; THE
