2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

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

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?

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.

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 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.

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

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.
