2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HEADLIGHTS DIM WITHOUT WARNING. THE PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS INCREASED OVER TIME. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE DEFROSTER IN THE AC COMPRESSOR. THE DIMMING OF THE HEADLIGHTS IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 02/24/06

I BOUGHT VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2003. IT IS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. IN THE MONTHS FOLLOWING I BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS . CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH ON AND THEN WENT OFF AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED CAR STALLED AS WELL. I WOULD BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD SAY THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THEY HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I ALSO HAD MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY BLINKERS. I HAVE HAD THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED TWICE. I RECENTLY TOOK IT AGAIN BECAUSE MY LEFT BLINKER WOULD FLASH MUCH FASTER WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKE. ALSO, IF I JUST TOUCHED THE BRAKE THE RIGHT BLINKER LIGHT ON MY CONSOLE WOULD ILLUMINATE. ALSO, IT LOOKED AS IF I HAD MY LIGHTS ON FOR REVERSING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS OTHER DRIVERS THOUGHT I WAS REVERSING WHEN I WAS GOING FORWARD. I HAVE HAD 4WD LIGHT COME ON AND THEN TURN OFF AGAIN LATER. I HAVE HAD MY MAIN COMPUTER REPLACED TWICE AND MY FLASHER COMPUTER REPLACED ONCE. I HAD TO HAVE MY KEYS REPROGRAMMED TWICE AND THEY FINALLY FOUND OUT TODAY I HAD FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY CAUSING THE TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES AND FLASHERS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWING EVERYTHING I FILL UP NO MATTER WHAT I DO AND I AM NOT TRYING TO "TOP OFF". ALSO, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY SEAT BELTS AND HAVE THEM REPLACED AS WELL. THEY WOULD LOCK AND I WOULD BE UNABLE TO GET IT ONE TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO SEAT BELT. OVERALL, THESE PROBLEMS AMOUNT TO A POORLY MADE VERY EXPENSIVE CAR THAT LEAVES ME FEELING UNSAFE IN MY CAR. PLEASE MAKE CHEVROLET LISTEN TO ITS CONSUMERS AND PAY RESTITUTION. WE WERE ALL LIED TO BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER, WHO HAD TO HAVE KNOWN IT WAS PRODUCING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT.*AK

I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES THE REAR LIFTGATE GLASS EXPLODED. THE TRUCK IS AT DICK MORRIS CHEVROLET IN COMMERCE TOWNSHIP MICHIGAN NOW. *NM

MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER INTERMITTENTLY STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR REPAIR, WITH NO RESULTS. THE DEALER HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT, AND HAS REPLACED ITEMS, BUT GM IS UNABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT. ON DECEMBER 5, 2005, MY WIFE BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF OUR BASEMENT. SHE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. IMMEDIATELY,SHE SAW FLAMES. THE VEHICLE BURNED COMPLETELY, ALSO BURNING THE END OF MY HOME. I CONTACTED G.M. ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD I WAS WAY DOWN THE LIST OF PROBLEMS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. I SINCERELY HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I WOULD HOPE THAT G.M. WOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAD ONLY 27,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *NM *TR

ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER HAS STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. 1 TIME, THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES; EVERY OTHER TIME, THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE AT IDLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE BUT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE VALVE AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE PLATES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. *JB

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND SINCE PURCHASE IT IS IN AND OUT OF THE SHOW WITH NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL AND GAS PROBLEMS. EVERYTIME YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE IT SPILLS OUT FROM THE UNDERSIDE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACE PARTS PERTAINING TO THE FUEL SYSTEM AND IT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. MY RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. MY HEADLIGHTS DIM UP AND DOWN, THE AIR BLOWS LOW AND HIGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND ALL THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND EVERYTIME I TAKE IT THEY STATE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN IT. I AM CURRENTLY FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. *JB

LAST WEEK IT WAS COLD & SNOWING. I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN AT A VERY LOW SPEED. I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT. I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. AGAIN TODAY I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. TODAY THERE WAS LUCKILY NO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN SHE OPENED THE HATCHBACK THE WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED.*AK UPDATED 2/7/2006 - *NM

MY FIRST COMPLAINT CAME AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND MY WATER PUMP SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I GOT THAT FIXED AND THEN I STARTED HEARING A NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS. NOW I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER JUST JUMPING AND GOING OUT OF WHACK. I GOT IT FIXED IN LUMBERTON NC AT THE CHEVY DEALER AND BEFORE I GOT HOME THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT BACK IN AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY SAY THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAUGE WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $350. THIS IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A YEAR AND SOME MONTHS. I TALKED TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHICH HAD A GMC YUKON AND SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE RPMS AND SPEEDOMETER. SHE FINALLY GOT RID OF HER AND SHE SAID SHE HAD THE SAME NOISE PROBLEM. I THINK THAT GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND NOT THE CONSUMER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR IMPERFECTIONS. *NM
