I PURCHASED A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT EXT (4 MILES ON THE ODOMETER) ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2003 FROM FISHER BROS. CHEVROLET IN MAHOPAC, NY. I HAD THE TRUCK FOR EXACTLY TWO WEEKS AND STARTED HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I WOULD STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR EVEN BEHIND A STOPPING SCHOOL BUS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2003 AND THEY HAD IT FOR SERVICE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 2003. THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY FOUND OUT FROM CHEVY THAT A BULLETIN WITH THIS PROBLEM HAD NOT YET BEEN RELEASED. THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND GAVE ME BACK THE CAR ON 9/30/03. I DROVE IT FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE ON 10/2/03. THIS TIME THEY CLAIMED IT WAS ELECTRICAL - AGAIN RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE FIXED A FEW VALUES AND THINGS. HAD THE CAR IN FROM 10/2/03 TO 10/7/03. GOT THE CAR HOME FOR AGAIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK ON 10/9/03 (2021MILES ON THE ODOMETER) AND THE CAR HAS BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. WHEN I LAST SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THEY SAID THEY HAD TO PUT A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR WOULD ALREADY HAVE A "NEW TRANSMISSION". THEY ORDERED A 2004 TRANSMISSION TO PUT INTO THE CAR. THIS WAS THE LAST I HEARD ON 10/14/03.

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS; RACK AND PINION FAILED TWICE/AIR CONDITIONER MALFUNCTIONED TWICE/VEHICLE STALLED AT TAKE OFF/ OIL LEAK, AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. ALSO, VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE ON DRIVER'S SIDE WHILE DRIVING. *AK

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS- WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH A FULL TANK, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK'S FILL PIPE. THIS BACKWASH HAPPENS EVERYTIME AND OCCURS RIGHT AFTER GAS NOZZLE SHUTS OFF REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION THAT IS USED. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY 03. I ESTIMATE 12+ OCCURRENCES. *LA

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE, MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING TO HIS HOCKEY GAME. IN THE VEHICLE WITH HIM WERE TEAMMATES AND SEVERAL FRIENDS. LUCKILY HE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY RESULTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH CONSUMER WAS BROADSIDED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A VEHICLE RUNNING A RED LIGHT. CONSUMER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, BUT THE SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, BUT NO ONE WAS CITED. CONSUMER SUSTAINED NON LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. *AK

MY DAUGHTER'S SEAT BELT CAME UNBUCKLED DURING AN ACCIDENT WE WERE IN. I HAVE THE SEATBELT AND PICTURES. I WAS DRIVING A 2003 TRAILBLAZER. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM AND CLOSED THE CASE FILE. I WROTE A LETTER TO THEIR CEO AND WAS CONTACTED BY HIS OFFICE AND OFFERED FREE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES ON THE REMAINDER OF MY LEASE. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY CLOSED MY FILE ALSO. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM TRYING TO GET THE NAME OF THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SEAT BELT, BUT THEY DIRECT ME TO DIFFERENT NUMBERS AND AS OF THIS HOUR, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP. MY DAUGHTER HIT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THEN HIT HER HEAD ON THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW. LUCKILY, THESE ARE THE ONLY INJURIES SHE SUSTAINED. THE SEATBELT INSERT POINT IS VISILBLY DAMAGED. THERE HAVE TWO OTHER CASES OF THIS IN MY AREA.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, AND THEN STALLED. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN DISENGAGING THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. *AK

WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE AND THE ENGINE IS STARTED IT KNOCKS AND TICKS UNTIL WARMED UP. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL OFFER ADDITIONAL MILES ON THE WARRANTY BUT NO ADDITIONAL TIME. THE DEALERS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. GM SAYS IT IS A PISTON PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY DAY BELOW 50 DEGREES. THAT IS 8 MONTHS OF THE YEAR IN MICHIGAN. THE TRUCK IS EMBARRASSINGLY LOUD. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS 20 YEARS OLD. IT IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD.*AK

I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH MY TRAIL BLAZER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS ANNUNCIATED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHILE I WAS MERGING AT A TOLL PLAZA IN CHICAGO THAT CLEARED AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING. I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH MY TRAIL BLAZER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS ANNUNCIATED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER THE SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM RECURRED WAS ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND THIRD TIME WHILE MAKING A LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THE ACCELERATOR UNIT, WHICH I UNDERSTAND REPLACED A SIMPLE ACCELERATOR CABLE. THE CONCERN IS THE PROJECTED FAILURE OF A CRITICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE FAILING WHILE MERGING OR MAKING LEFT TURNS IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AND THE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF GM ENGINEER CAN DESIGN AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT TO REPLACE A SIMPLE ACCELERATOR CABLE, I ASSUME THE COMPONENT STANDARDS WOULD EQUAL THE SAME RELIABILITY AS THE CABLE. RESPONSE BY CHEVROLET: GOOD EVENING! THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER CONCERNS YOU WERE EXPERIENCING ON YOUR 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO DEEPLY REGRET TO HEAR THE MISFORTUNATE INCIDENTS YOU EXPERIENCED WHILE THE CONCERN WAS BEING RESOLVED. WE, AT CHEVROLET, UNDERSTAND THAT OF ALL THE FACTORS INVOLV

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OVERHEATED AND IT BURNED THE OCCUPANTS. THE DEALER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT INDICATED THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK

OWNED 03 TRAILBLAZER FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAS GIVEN ME ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I HAD ONE PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE 13 THINGS THAT ARE A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY. AC TURNS ON BY ITSELF WHETHER CAR IS OFF OR ON. AC HAS TURNED ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING FRIGHTENING THE HELL OUT OF ME CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE WHEEL. AC ,ENGINE LACKS HORSE POWER,HAND BRAKE,HAZARD LIGHTS,LIGHTS TURN OFF, MIRRORS MOVE BY THEMSELVES, CAR BOGGS AS IF IT WANTS TO TURN OFF, WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL MOVES BY ITSELF, GAS GAUGE HAS READ LOW FUEL WHEN GAS IS FULL. I AM TERRIFIED THE CAR WILL GIVE OUT WITH MY CHILD AND I IN IT.I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE VEHICLE REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND STILL DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS A HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND TO ALL THOSE WHO OWN ONE. NEED THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BEFORE ANY TRAGEDIES OCCUR. *AK

'03 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGES BY ITSELF AT 55 TO 60MPH, THE TRUCK JERKS AND IT FLASHES FROM 4 WHEEL TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE, THEY HAVE RESET CODES, CHANGED SWITCHES AND IT STILL IS DOING THE SAME THING. IT HAS THIS PROBLEM AT ALL SPEEDS, IT JUST IS VERY NOTICABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE WAY THE TRUCK JERKS..I HAVE FILED WITH THE BBB.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, WHEN NOZZLE SHUTS OFF ,GAS BELCHES OUT OF TANK FILLER TUBE. SPALASHES GAS ON SHOES AND CLOTHING. ALSO GETS GAS ON INSIDE OF CAR FENDER.YOU CAN THEN SMELL GAS FUMES WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN GARAGE.*AK

THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. MINOR MUSCULAR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT UNLESS ONE WAS HIT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. *AK *SCC *JB

FUEL FLOWS OUT THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED UP WITH FUEL. *AK

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY ENTIRE VALVE BODY REPLACED, OF COURSE AFTER HAVING TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO HAVE THE RELAIABLE BIG LOT DEALERSHIP FIX THIS TRAILBLAZER. EVERYTIME IT HAS A PROBLEM, THEY DO ALL BUT CALL ME STUPID, AND SEND ME AWAY, OR SAY THAT WHEN THEY DRIVE IT, IT DOESN'T FAIL ON ANYTHING.IT MUST BE MY IMAGINATION. WHATEVER. NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL COMPLETELY, AND THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH. LOL, THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WE ALMOST REARENDED ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. NO WONDER THAT SEMI TRUCK ALMOST KILLED US. ANYONE EVER DRIVE IN ST. LOUIS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ALMOST GET KILLED, AND THEN DISCOVER THAT YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS?GEE, VEHICLES HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS FOR A REASON, WHO KNEW? NOW THE WARANTY IS UP BY 3000 MI AND I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL. THAT'S FUNNY HUH? ANYONE ORGANIZING A LAW SUIT? COUNT ME IN. *AK

WITHIN SECONDS OF FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPLASHED BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. *AK *SCC *JB

WHILE DRIVING, UNEXPECTEDLY THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT WENT OFF. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, IT RENDERED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE INOPERATIVE. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE TCM MODULE. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED THE TCM MODULE, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. SEVERAL TSB BULLETINS WERE ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM. *AK *SCC *JB

WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING SPARKS BY SOME ELECTRICAL SURGE. *AK THE ELECTRICAL SURGE OCCURS WHEN METAL IS TOUCHED. CONSUMER NOTED THIS IS UNPLEASANT AND DANGEROUS WHEN AT A GAS STATION. *PH

MY 11-MONTH OLD 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS HAD MULTIPLE QUALITY PROBLEMS, TWICE AFFECTING MY SAFETY. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. THE 4WD HAS BECOME INOPERABLE NUMEROUS TIMES, ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AT NIGHT THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD IN ORDER TO SEE. AFTER ONE DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE 4WD PROBLEM, ANOTHER DEALER REPLACED MY IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THE TECHNICIAN SAID I HAD NO POWER AT ALL GOING TO THE "REAR GRID." I CONTINUE TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, INCLUDING NEAR STALLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND ONGOING 4WD FAILURES. THE CAR ALSO HAS VERY JERKY MOTION WHEN IN 4WD REVERSE, OF COURSE, WHEN THE 4WD IS WORKING AT ALL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL AND NOW I SEE THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. *LA

BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *NLM

OUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERABLE. THE WIPER SWITCH WAS TURNED ON WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE FROM THE WIPERS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS KEEP OCCURRING. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED, THE ONSTAR DID NOT SEND TRACKING INFORMATION PROPERLY, THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE FAN FOR THE HEATER WOULD NOT WORK AT ANY SPEED EXCEPT LOW. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE AUGUST. I AM THINKING THAT THIS IN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INSTEAD OF EACH INDIVIDUAL PIECE BEING FAULTY. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE HEARING MORE OF THE SAME TYPES OF INFORMATION. *LA

8 TIMES TO DLR WITH SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME WORSE. TIMES PRIOR WERE TORQUE CONVERTER FAULT CODES, ALSO NOT ALLOWING CRUISE TO ENGAGE. HIGH RPM'S AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE. LUNGING ON FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. DEALER JUST REPLACED TRANSMISSION (21,000 MILES) AND NOW WON'T SHIFT AT ALL. PURCHASED 6 MONTHS AGO. 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT 4X4. *LA

LOST TOTAL ELECTRICAL POWER/STALLED WHILE IDLING AT FIRST, THEN WHEN GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. DEALER "RESET" COMPUTER ACCORDING TO A SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. SERVICE BULLETIN SAYS IT IS OCCURS WHEN MODULE ON POWERTRAIN CHECKS EVAP SYSTEM, THERE IS SOME TYPE OF A "GLITCH" WHICH SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN. ACCORDING TO GM, THERE IS NO FIX YET FOR THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD HAPPEN AND CAUSE CRASH BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. IF IT HAPPENS DURING NIGHT, OTHER DRIVERS WILL NOT SEE ME BECAUSE ALL LIGHTS GO OUT, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST. RESETTING THE COMPUTER DID NOT HELP AS IT HAPPENED WITHIN 2 DAYS AGAIN. PLEASE HELP ASAP BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE!*AK

IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON, WHEN YOU TURN ON THE A/C, THE A/C PUMP WILL NOT TURN ON. YOU EITHER HAVE TO TURN THE A/C KNOB ON/OFF A FEW TIMES TO GET IT TO GO, OR OPEN THE FRONT HOOD, AND TAP ON THE A/C PUMP WITH YOUR HAND TO GET IT TO START. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY POINT IN DRIVING OR WHILE IN PARK. THE A/C WILL NOT BLOW COLD AIR UNLESS YOU DO AS I HAVE STATED ABOVE.*AK

BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED OPERATING. DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARD MALFUNCTIONED AND REPLACED IT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE HARD BRAKE PEDAL MORE THEN 4 TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP.*AK

EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP FOR GAS. GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ON GROUND. *LA

THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO BLOW OUT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS HAD MELTED. *JB

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP/IDLING THE BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS WHERE NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THE MASTER CYLINDER BY-PASSING. *SCC *JB

THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT HIS 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER DID NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A LIGHT INSIDE THE GLOVE BOX.*MR THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THERE WAS NO WIRING HARNESS OR SOCKET IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THEY WOULD CALL HIM BACK TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *TS *JB

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AUGUST 30, 2002 I HAVE HAD TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT ITEMS. I HAVE HAD BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS GONE OUT, THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP WENT OUT, THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS GONE OUT TWICE(FOUR MONTHS APART), THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW IS INOPERABLE(WE HAVE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED FOR ALMOST A MONTH NOW WITH NO SUCCESS) AND THE ENGINE COOLING FAN WAS WARPED AND THE FAN CLUTCH MALFUNCTIONED. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVEN'T JUST RECALLED THE WHOLE VEHICLE. LUCKILY WE HAVE THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY STILL IN AFFECT BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS UP AND THE SAME PROBLEMS KEEP RECURRING? *LA

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE TO MY NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE 2003 TRAILBLAZER FOR 7 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES-2 TIMES FOR THE COOLANT SYSTEM-1 TIME FOR MY MASTER CYLINDER-3 TIMES FOR MY CIRCUIT BOARDS-NOW FOR MY STEERING AND MY STARTER( I BELIEVE MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP AS I AM TYPING THIS LETTER) I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GM BUT NO ONE IS TRYING TO REPLACE MY TRUCK WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IN THE SHOP EVERY MONTH. THANKS. *LA

TAIL LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY BURNING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. CAUSE UNKNOWN.*AK THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT ON 07/17/03. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER TO GET THE HEADLIGHT REPLACED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL AND REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD. CONSUMER QUESTIONED WHETHER THE REAR SAFETY HAZARD WOULD BE REPAIRED IF CHEVROLET IS JUST CHANGING BULBS WITHOUT FIXING THE CIRCUIT BOARD. *PH *NLM

TRAVELING 55 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CROSSED THE ROAD CAUSING ME TO HIT THE SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE HEAD ON. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

WE PURCHASE A NEW 2003 CHERROLET TRAILBLAZER AUGUST 16, 2003. WE WERE ON A TRIP WHEN WE HAD TO TRADE OUR OLD 96 BLAZER IN DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE HAD NOT GONE 75 MILES WHEN OUR GRANDSON SOMEHOW GOT THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST, FORTUNATELY! I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD HIM CAREFULLY STAND. MY THINKING WAS TO EASE THE TENSION ON THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR MECHANISM. AS I TRIED TO LOOSEN THE TENSION THE BELT ONLY BECAME TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AROUND HIS WAIST UNTIL THE BUCKLE WAS STARTING TO JAB HIM IN THE ABDOMEN. HE WAS OBVIOUSLY STARTING TO FEEL THE PAIN FROM THE CONSTRICTING OF THE BELT AND STARTED GETTING MORE AGGITATED AND NERVOUS. I FINALLY ENDED UP CUTTING THE BELT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IN TO RELEASE. I AM AWARE THAT THE BELT NEEDS TO REMAIN TAUGHT IN ORDER TO SECURE CHILD SEATS, BUT IT MUST BE ABLE TO BE RELEASE IN CASES LIKE THIS. I SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED MAKING THE LOOP IN THE SEAT BELT SMALLER TRYING TO SIMILATE A SITUATION OF A YOUNG CHILD HAVING SOMEHOW GOTTEN IT AROUND THEIR NECK AND FOUND THE SAME SINARIO. IT WOULD NOT RELEASE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS DANGER TO CHILDREN. BY THE WAY MY GRANDSON IS 8 YEARS OLD AND MUST HAVE DISCONNECTED THE SEAT BELT MOMENTARILY TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING HE LOST ON THE FLOOR. CHEVROLET IS CLAIMING THAT THIS IS THE WAY THE BELT IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION....IS SO WE HAVE A PROBLEM! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS PROBLEM. SINCERELY, CARL CARLSON

MY 2003 TRAIL BLAZER THERE IS SO MUCH WIND AROUND THE VEHICLE IT SOUNDS LIKE A WINDOW IS OPEN AND IT SO NERVE RACKING YOU CAN NOT HEAR IN ORDER TO TRY AND DROWN OUT THE NOISE I HAVE TO BLAST THE RADIO. AND WHEN IT RAINS WATER COMES INSIDE THE DOORS AND THE BACK HATCH I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. *JB

WHEN 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS FILLED WITH GAS, GAS COMES BACK OUT OF TRAILBZER TO FORM UP TO A 2FT. PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND! GAS UP TO 2FT. WIDE DOWN THE PAINT! MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD SON STRAPPED IN CAR SEAT AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN INSIDE WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED,MAINLY AT RENTON WA. SAFEWAY GAS PUMPS, BUT OTHER PUMPS AS WELL! I TOLD GOOD CHEVROLET IN RENTON WA. AS FAR BACK AS APRIL 2003 OF THIS PROBLEM AND AT FIRST THEY CLAIMED THEIR WAS NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER WITH TRAILBLAZERS, BUT SOME CHEVY TAHOE SUV'S HAD THE PROBLEM! MAYBE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FILL A TANK, TRY A DIFFERENT GAS STATION, DON'T REMOVE NOZZLE FOR A FEW SECONDS...I TRIED EVERYTHING THEY SAID AND KEPT CALLING AND TELLING THEM OF THE PROBLEM!!! I ASKED FOR ONE OF THEM TO COME WITH ME AND WITNESS IT AND THEY DECLINED! BY MAY AND JUNE IM STILL TELLING GOOD CHEVROLET OF THE CONTINUING PROBLEM! THEY ASK TO LOOK AT THE TRAILBLAZERS TANK AND FILL TUBE.. MAYBE ITS KINKED, FILL TUBE OR BALL CHECK PROBLEM...THEY SAID IT LOOKS GREAT NOTHING FOUND,AND THEY FILLED IT WITH GAS AT THEIR PUMP AND NO GAS CAME OUT AT ALL! I HAD TOLD THEM TO FILL IT AT THE RENTON SAFEWAY!!!!!,BUT THEY DIDN'T!!!! I WONDER WHY?...BOB MANNING THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GOOD CHEVROLET HAD BEEN ADVISED OF ALL THIS IN MANY PHONE CALLS TO HIM! NOW IN JULY THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE FILLER NECK AND TANK. WHEN THEY FILL IT AGAIN THEY STILL DO NOT GO TO RENTON SAFEWAY LIKE I TOLD THEM AGAIN..I FILL IT AND GAS COMES OUT!!! I CALL AGAIN AND ASK AGAIN FOR A WITNES

ON TWO OCCASIONS, MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. ONCE IN EXTREME COLD AND ONCE IN EXTREME HEAT, THE REAR SPOILER HAS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE LAST TIME, IT HAD TO BE WRAPPED ON TO GET TO THE DEALER AND IT ACTUALLY BROKE. IT CAUSES IT TO RUB AGAINST THE BODY OF MY VEHICLE EVERY TIME. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY FROM OPERATING THE LIFT GATE AND PEOPLE THAT I SHARE THE ROAD WITH IS BEING JEOPARDIZED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO MALFUNCTION. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS LIFT GATE HAVE TO MALFUNCTION BEFORE GENERAL MOTORS WILL RECALL THE VEHICLE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ME. MY FRIEND THAT WORKS AT A BODY SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE SPOILER IS HELD ON BY SOME "SOPHISTICATED TAPE" - IN EXTREME HOT AND EXTREME COLD OUTDOOR CONDITIONS, THE TAPE EXPANDS AND THE REAR SPOILER SEPARATES FROM THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT THAT HARD. GENERAL MOTORS SAYS ONCE WAS DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS (ADMITTEDLY THE EXTREME COLD) AND THE OTHER DUE TO MY FAULT BECAUSE I OPENED IT WITH THE GLASS OPEN AND THAT IS NOT EVEN A TRUE STATEMENT. I AM LESS THAN SATISFIED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BECAUSE IN 2-3 MONTHS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN - UNTIL THEY CAN FIND SOMETHING BESIDES TAPE TO HOLD IT ON MY VEHICLE. THEY ARE JUST GOING TO KEEP SAYING, I DON'T KNOW UNTIL IT RUNS OUT OF WARRANTY. *JB

ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF FROM RUNNING - THERE WAS A LOUD BUZZ ON THE RADIO AND THEN THE CLOCK RESET LIKE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OCCURRED. *JB

ON 7/26/2003, THE OWNER HEARD THE MOTOR RUNNING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. THE OWNER DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO STOP THE MOTOR FROM RUNNING. THIS CAUSED THE OWNER TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS BUT THE HATCH WOULD NOT LOCK MANUALLY. ON 7/31/2003, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO FOUND A SHORT IN A WIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS. *PH CONSUMER STATED THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THERE IS NO MECHANICAL DEVICE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE HATCH DOOR. THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. *PH *JB

VEHICLE'S DASH GAUGES CAME ON AND SPEEDOMETER STARTED FLUCTUATING AFTER 35 MILES DRIVING AND VEHICLE STALLED OUT, NOT BEING ABLE TO RESTART. COMPUTER WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. PROBLEM AROSE AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER. GM HAD DEALER REPLACE ANOTHER PART IN I BELIEVE THE IGNITION KEY AREA. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN A COUPLE WEEKS AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR DEALER AFTER IT WAS DRIVEN THERE. DEALER FOUND WIRE CONNECTION IN WIRING HARNESS TO COMPUTER WAS NOT MAKING CONTINUOUS CONTACT AT A CONNECTION. ALSO DEALER HAD TO REPLACE A SWITCH WHEN THE A/C WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. LUCKILY I HAVE A GOOD EFFICIENT DEALER AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR DOESN'T ADJUST ENOUGH TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND CAUSED A BLIND SPOT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK *SCC *JB

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE WIPER MODULE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *PH

2003, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS. 4 WHEEL DRIVE. STANDARD LENGTH CHASIS. 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. PROBLEM EXPERIENCED; UPON ACCELERATION ONTO THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LOST POWER FOR APPX. 5 SECONDS. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMAINED DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE RESUMED ACCELERATION AFTER THE TIME SPECIFIED. CREATED MUCH FEAR, SINCE INTERSTATE TRAFFIC SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, AND CARS ON THE INTERSATE CAME UP ONTO THE BUMPER VERY QUICKLY. THIS IS THE ONLY OCCURENCE TO DATE. ALSO, GASOLINE FILLER NECK TOO NARROW, OR VENT HOSE CONSTRICTED? FREQUENT REFLUX OF GASOLINE DURING THE PROCESS OF FILLING. TAKES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO "TOP THE TANK". SO MUCH TIME THAT, I HAVE YET TO BEEN ABLE TO "TOP" THE TANK. PROBLEM OCCURS AT EVERY PUMP, NOT INDIGENOUS TO THE GAS PUMP, APPEARS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE.*AK
