2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 20 MPH, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT A COLLISION. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM, BUT REPLACED THE AIRBAG SENSOR WITH THE SENSOR FOR THE CURRENT MODEL YEAR VEHICLES.

WHILE I DO NOT OWN A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, I FREQUENTLY AM DRIVING BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AND NOTE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER IS OFTEN BURNT OUT. SEEMS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OF SOME KIND OR MAYBE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE JUST PRONE TO NOT CHECKING THEIR LIGHTS. *NM

MY HEAD LINER HAS FALLEN DOWN 4 TIMES AND NEVER BEEN REPLACE, JUST REGLUED OR RE VELCROED, AND THE NOISES THAT COME FROM MY WINDOWS ARE QUITE LOUD AND IF WINDY THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GIVES A WHISTLE, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I AM TOLD IT IS NORMAL WIND NOISE(INCLUDING THE WHISTLE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE) AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE, MY CARPET UNDER THE MAT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT RIPPED (AFTER 6 MOS OLD) AND THE NUMBERS ON MY RADIO 1-6,EXCEPT 4, AND THE BAND BUTTON HAS STARTED TO RUB OFF AFTER ABOUT 6 MOS OLD WHICH I WAS AGAIN TOLD WAS NORMAL AND IT'S BECAUSE I CHANGE STATIONS OFTEN. INCIDENT DATE TO FOLLOW WAS LAST DATE REPAIRED. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED INTERMITTENTLY THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHT FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER STATED THAT GM REPORTED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE. UPDATED 4/14/2006 - *NM

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKER, AND HEATER FAN SLOWS DOWN OCCASIONALLY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE ON DAMP DAYS. ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED AND VEHICLE IS COASTING. *NM

OUR NEW SUV (GSA VEHICLE) HAS A WINDSHIELD THAT SLOPES AT TO STEEP OF AN ANGLE. THE REARVIEW MIRROR IS STUCK ON THE GLASS ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD SEVERELY COMPROMISING MY FORWARD TO RIGHT SIDE VISIBILITY. WHAT WERE THE ENGINEERS THINKING? ALSO, THE VEHICLE LACKS POWER WINDOW SAFETY SWITCHES THAT COULD CHOKE A CHILD IF THEY STOOD ON THEM WITH THEIR HEAD OUT THE WINDOW. I THOUGHT THESE SWITCHES WERE OUTLAWED YEARS AGO? *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HEAD LAMPS FLICKER FROM BRIGHT TO DIM AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHTTIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL DETERMINED THE HEAD LAMPS WERE FLICKERING. HOWEVER, UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS. UPDATED 024/24/06

HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING COMPLETELY OFF AND ON IN THE DARK AND DAYLIGHT HOURS AS WELL AS COMPLETELY QUITTING. HAD IT TO DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES FOR THIS MATTER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I FELT IT WAS A HAZARD DRIVING IT THIS WAY BEING. IT ALSO HAPPENED AT NIGHT. THIS STARTED IN NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2005. HAVEN'T HAD IT A YEAR YET AND ALREADY THE DRIVESHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED . IS THIS A LEMON ?*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT UPON DECELERATING AND BRAKING HEADLIGHTS AND GAUGES FLICKERED ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY NIGHT. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER 2 TIMES BY POLICE OFFICERS IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FREQUENTLY SURGING. THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH THE AIR PUMP LOCATED NEAR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER, WHEN THE AIR PUMP ENGAGES, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SURGES AND RESULTS IN THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING AND FLICKERING. THE FLICKERING LAST FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESUMES NORMALLY. HOWEVER, ONCE THE AIR PUMP ENGAGES AGAIN, THE SAME PROBLEM ERUPTS. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DUPLICATED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE MANUFACTURER INSISTS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY. *NM
