2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND OFF AT RANDOM. IF THE CONTACT ACTIVATES THE WIPERS, THEN THEY REMAIN ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IN ORDER FOR THE WIPERS TO DEACTIVATE, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE OFF FOR 30 MINUTES TO RESET THE SWITCH. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V046000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER). THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE THE RECALL TO INCLUDE HER VIN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 53,068. UPDATED 02-14-08. *KB

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER STUCK...RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FOR 2004 SILVERADO....WHY NOT 2003 TRAILBLAZER? THERE HAVE BEEN TONS OF PROBLEMS FROM RESEARCHING ON THE NET. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LTZ. THERE ARE "STEPPER MOTORS" THAT RUN EACH GAUGE INSIDE THE GAUGE CLUSTER. MY SPEEDOMETER STEPPER MOTOR HAS GONE BAD CAUSING ME TO NOT KNOW WHAT MY SPEED IS. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FAILED. THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE TACHOMETER WORKED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE PURCHASE DATE AND TRANSMISSION TYPE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WENT FROM 0 TO 120 AT A STOP SIGN. NOW IT IS STUCK PAST THE 120 AND JUST VIBRATING. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO BACK TO 120 BUT SEEMED TO GO RIGHT BACK TO THE DEAD SPACE PAST 120. THE TRAILBLAZER ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SPILLAGE DURING REFUELING; DURING REFUELING THE FUEL WILL SPILL OUT FROM BEHIND THE TOP OF THE TANK BEHIND THE WALL. HAPPENED SINCE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OWNED. *CN

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT WAS A GM MESS UP, THEY SHOULD RECALL IT AND FIX IT.*CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, HER SON CRASHED INTO A DEER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PLACED SENSORS ON THE AIRBAGS PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY. AS OF JANUARY 3, 2008, THE DEALER OR INSURANCE COMPANY HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 82,000. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VIN APPEARED TO BE INVALID AND THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON OUR TRAIL BLAZER, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED GIVING FALSE READINGS OR WOULD QUIT WORKING. WE TALKED TO THE SELLING DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST ABOUT 500.00 DOLLARS. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY GENERAL MOTORS AT NO COST TO US. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT GM IS REPLACING SPEEDOMETERS ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.*CN

FUEL WAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND. *TR

UPON RETURN TO MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER I FOUND THAT MY TIRE WAS APPROX. A QUARTER FLAT. DROVE TO THEIR INSTALLER TIRE WORKS, WHERE THEY FOUND A 5/8-3/4 INCH HOLE IN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. THE INSTALLER SAID HE FOUND A PIECE OF HEAVY GAUGE WIRE ABOUT 6" INSIDE THE TIRE AND STATED "THIS IS WHAT DID IT." TIRES HAD 10133 MILES ON THEM WITH GREAT TREAD WEAR APPARENT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE WIPERS FAIL TO TURN OFF WHEN THE WIPER SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. I LATER FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS FAILURE MODE IN THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE MODE I AM EXPERIENCING IS THE SAME AS THAT DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA #04V046000) AND BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER MY VEHICLE. *TR

LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER LINKING TO THE COMPUTER I HAD A CODE # P0442. AFTER I, AND MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, WE FOUND THAT THE GAS TANK WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FAULTY GAS TANK, FOR AN EXPENSIVE FEE. I CALLED CHEVY, AND TO SUM IT UP, I WAS LEFT TO WORK THIS PROBLEM OUT ON MY OWN, WITH NO FINANCIAL HELP FROM GM. *TR

BAD CLUTCH FAN AGAIN!!! *TR

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE WILD. I.E: I AM SITTING STILL AT A RED LIGHT AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS POINTING TO 80 OR 100 OR EVEN WORSE, POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN IN THE SIX O CLOCK POSITION. *TR

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO AVOID AN ANIMAL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A TOW YARD AND WILL BE TOWED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR INVESTIGATION. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A REPORT AND THE CONTACT IS AWAITING A CALL BACK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER STARTED BECOMING VERY INACCURATE AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY SHOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING. IT WOULD EITHER STICK ON A NUMBER OR RANDOMLY MAX OUT AT 120+ MPH, EVEN WHEN JUST PARKED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THE COST TO FIX IS A SHADE UNDER $500. THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUSTER, WHICH IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM APPARENTLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE GRINDING NOISE RECURRED AND THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ABS UNIT WAS NOT SHUTTING OFF. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,089. *UPDATED 12/12/2007 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABS WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER 4X4 IN JULY 06 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG MODULE 1 MONTH LATER (54,000MI ON ODOMETER) FOR $350.00. THAT WAS AT HALF PRICE BECAUSE I HAD A 50/50 WARRANTY LUCKILY. NOW LATE IN SEPTEMBER MY FAN IS ON EVERY TIME I START MY ENGINE, HOT OR COLD. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH MY VEHICLE MAKE AND YEAR STATES THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE A JET PLANE AND TURNS OFF A COUPLE OFF MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN EVENTUALLY FAILS LATER. GM NEEDS TO PAY MY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR MY AIRBAG MODULE AND FIX MY FAN CLUTCH ISSUE BEFORE IT FAILS COMPLETELY, LEAVING ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT. I ALWAYS KEEP UP TO DATE ON MY VEHICLES TO MAKE SURE I GET THE MOST OUT OF THEM AND DO NOT EXPECT RANDOM PARTS TO FAIL PREMATURELY. I'LL BE ?!@#$% IF I AM GOING TO PAY $600-$1000 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AFTER IT FULLY FAILS TO WORK. *TR

I GOT A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I STOPPED AT A GARAGE AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE FUEL LINE WAS EITHER BUSTED OR CORRODED. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT RIGHT AWAY, BUT SAID THEY DIDN'T THINK THE FUEL LINE ON A 2003 VEHICLE SHOULD BE RUSTED. THE GAS WAS POURING OUT UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT EITHER, BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD BE RUSTED THROUGH THAT THEY ARE REPLACING A LOT OF THEM AND ALSO BRAKE LINES. I ASK IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE VEHICLE, AND HE SAID NO IT'S JUST THE ICE MELTING MATERIALS THEY USE ON THE ROADS AROUND HERE. THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED AND THE LINES NEED REPLACED. THE GARAGE THAT IS DOING THE WORK SAYS THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER SHOULD BE REPLACED WHILE THE TANK IS DOWN. I DON'T BELIEVE A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD HAVE FUEL LINES AND BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT LIKE THAT. I THINK IT IS AN ENGINEERING MISTAKE ON THE MATERIALS THESE LINES ARE MADE FROM. I AM SURE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SPENT LARGE SUMS OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND IF MY COMPLAINT CAN GET A RECALL STARTED THAT WOULD BENEFIT ALL TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. *TR

STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. SMELL IS STRONGEST UNDERNEATH VEHICLE FUEL TANK. HAVE NOT YET HAD VEHICLE SERVICED TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE. *TR

THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE OIL LINE FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUSED THE OIL TO LEAK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 44,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALERSHIP AGREED WITH UNSAFE DEFECT AND REQUESTED THE VEHICLE TO BE INVESTIGATED BUT WAS REFUSED REQUEST BY CHEVROLET. UPDATED 11/14/07 *TR

FOR APPROX. 4 MONTHS I WOULD GO TO GET INTO MY TRAILBLAZER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DEAD. WOULD NOT START UNLESS I HAD IT JUMPED. IT WOULD GO 2 WEEKS WITH NO PROBLEM THEN OUT OF THE BLUE, NOT WORK. I HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED 2 TIMES, ALTERNATOR, STARTER CHECKED WITH NO PROBLEM. FINALLY AFTER THE LAST TIME, I HAD THE ALTERNATOR PEOPLE COME AND GET IT AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT FOR 2 DAYS. THE ABS SYSTEM IS WHAT CAME UP. I HAD TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM (I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE PURCHASED USED FOR A YEAR AND COUPLE OF MONTHS-VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD NOW) AND IT IS THE ABS MODULE COSTING ME $1150.00 TO BE FIXED. DEALER STATES THAT IT STAYS ON AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RUNNING MY BATTERY. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVING AVERAGE, WITH PRIOR ISSUES OF THE TRUCK SOUNDING LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. THIS WEEKEND, IT BEGAN SOUNDING LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO DRIVE BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT FOR OVER 50 MILES FOR FEAR OF MY TRUCK BLOWING UP. AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE PROBLEM IS THE FAN CLUTCH. AFTER GOING ONLINE, I OBSERVED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2002-2007. BUT TO NO AVAIL, I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALLS FROM CHEVROLET ABOUT THEIR MANY FAULTY PARTS. I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY $900 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FROM CHEVY? WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? I AM A FAMILY MEMBER OF 3 GENERATIONS OF GM EMPLOYEES, AND I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVROLET. *JB

FRONT END MAKING POPPING AND CREAKING NOISES WHILE OPERATING. *TR

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS LEAK. *JB

FAN CLUTCH FAILURE ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CAR "ROARS" AS THE FAN DOES NOT DISENGAGE AND EXPERIENCE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. *JB

ON MY FIRST DAY FROM THE LOT PURCHASING A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, GAS RUNS FROM THE FUEL TANK WHEN I FILL UP. AFTER SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER IN FOR SERVICE TO MY GM DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR A TICKING NOISE. THE NOISE IS INTERMITTENT AND THE PERIODIC RATE IS CONSTANT REGARDLESS OF ENGINE SPEED RPM'S. I NOW HAVE 50K MILES AND THE FAN CLUTCH MOTOR FAILED AND OPERATED AT 100%.THROUGH RESEARCH ONLINE, THE TICKING SOUND IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAN CLUTCH FAILURE MANY GM TRAILBLAZER AND ENVOY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. THE FAN OPERATES AT 100% DUE TO THE FAN CLUTCH FAILING RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. I TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS DESCRIBED BY MANY AS THE "LEAR JET" SOUND. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT HIGH SPEEDS IN MY OPINION IS AS SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE FAN CLUTCH MOTOR. CUSTOMERS WITH MY 2002 AND ABOVE HAVE COMPLAINED ON SEVERAL WEBSITES ON THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A HIGH REVVING SOUND WHEN MY VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF (IT ONLY HAPPENS ON TAKE OFF, FIRST GEAR). THEN IT WILL GO AWAY AFTER IT SHIFTS INTO SECOND GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER SHIP TO GET LOOKED AT AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT HAPPENING AT THE TIME. I WAS FINE WITH THAT. TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTS DOING IT AGAIN AND I TAKE IT IN 2 DAYS AFTER IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THE DAY BEFORE I TAKE IT IN THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON. KEEP IN MIND THE NOISE HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON.

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER MECHANICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO FAN CLUTCH DEFECT. **CW**

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTINUALLY ADVISE ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE A/C. THE A/C BLOWS HOT ALL THE TIME, FOR THAT MATTER THE BLOWER VENTS OMIT HOT AIR CONTINUALLY. I HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 MODEL. *TR

NO SPECIFIC EVENT THAT I CAN SEE LEAD TO FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS IN THE TURNING SIGNAL OF THE 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE TURNING SIGNAL WORKED NORMAL AT TIMES, BUT AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL FLASH AT 2-3 TIMES THE NORMAL FLASHING SPEED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE PART. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A BUMPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKS, FRONT END LINKS, AND THE FRONT STABILIZER SHAFT WERE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SWAY BAR LINKS, FRONT END LINKS, AND THE FRONT STABILIZER SHAFT WERE DEFECTIVE AGAIN. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 39,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

NOTICED SMELL OF GASOLINE. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. SAID LEAKING FUEL LINES TO DUE UNUSUAL CORROSION. FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR DUE TO CORROSION. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY PRIVATE MECHANIC FOUND IT TO BE CODE P0440 INDICATING THE FUEL EVAPORATION SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM. INITIAL INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING BUT UPON PERFORMING A SMOKE TEST OF THE FUEL SYSTEM, THE FUEL INLET NOZZLE ON THE FUEL TANK WAS FOUND LEAKING. ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TANK. TOTAL COST WAS $2200. I NOTIFIED GM AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. FUEL TANKS SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE ONLY 4 YEARS OF AGE. MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE SHOW THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A RECALL TO CHECK ALL FUEL TANKS SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OVER THIS POOR DESIGN/QUALITY ISSUE. *TR
