2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

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

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

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

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
