2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

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

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

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