2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I FEEL THAT EVEN IF YOU HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUE ONCE AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO HAPPEN THEN IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED I HAVE CONTACT GM SEVERAL TIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RATIFY MY PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND SEVERAL OTHER RECALL ISSUES THIS IS SAD I SAY WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT I AM NOT ONE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY AND TO NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM THAT THEY PUT OUT ON THE ROADS FOR US TO DRIVE SAFELY IS SHAMEFUL. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, THE GAS GAUGE IS ALL OVER. I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK ONE MINUTE, AND HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD HAVE 3/4 OF A TANK. ALSO IT DOES THE SAME THING WHEN IT HAS A QUARTER OF A TANK, IT WILL SAY IT HAS 1/4 OF A TANK, AND A MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT JUST DROPS AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. ALSO I CAN PARK THE VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 3/8 OF A TANK, AND START IT LATER, AND IT SAYS EMPTY, AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. WE ALSO HAVE A 2004 GMC ENVOY THAT DOES THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR BOTH VEHICLES THE ENTIRE TIME WE HAVE OWNED THEM. BOTH WERE BOUGHT IN 2010. THIS OCCURS EVERY TANK OF GAS, AND THE ACTIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE EXACT SAME, SO IT IS HARD TO TELL IF WE ACTUALLY NEED GAS OR NOT, SOMETIMES THEY ARE ACTUALLY ALMOST OUT OTHER TIMES THE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF A TANK LEFT. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. *TR

I SAW AN ARTICLE IN WHICH YOU WERE TESTING TRAILBLAZERS FOR FAULTY FUEL GAUGES AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT ONLY SPANNED FOR 2005-2007, I HAVE A 2002 TRAILBLAZERS AND HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS NOW TWICE WHEN IT SAYS I STILL HAVE GAS LEFT, MY LIGHT HADN'T EVEN TURNED ON YET. *TR

INSTALLED MY SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL OUTBOARD IN '02 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH LATCH (REARFACING). WENT BACK LATER TO ATTACH TOP TETHER AND NOTICED SEAT MOVED QUITE A BIT. GRABBED IT AT BELT PATH AND WAS ABLE TO LOOSEN SEVERELY WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS LOOSE TO BEGIN WITH AND REINSTALLED IT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO LOOSEN AGAIN WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. AS A RESULT I'M CURRENTLY USING A BACK-UP SEAT. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2002, MAKE=TRAILBLAZER, MODEL=CHEVY). *TR

TRAILBLAZER SOUNDS LIKE A JET ENGINE WITH A LOT OF "WIND" NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND THAT THE FAN CLUTCH WENT BAD. NOT ONLY IS THE FAN CLUTCH FAILING ON MULTIPLE TRAILBLAZERS BUT CHEVY MADE THIS PART SO DYNAMIC THAT THE COST IS OUTRAGEOUS. ALSO, DUE TO THE FAN CLUTCH GOING BAD IT ALSO DAMAGES THE SERPENTINE BELT. *TR

MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER 4X4 CAME LOCKED UP COMPLETELY WITH NO POSSIBILITY TO EVEN OPEN DOOR WITH THE KEY. CHEVY DEALER BLAMED THE MODULE VCM LOCATED UNDER THE BEHIND SEAT THAT MUST BE CHANGED. RE-PROGRAMMING ALL SEEMS WORKING BUT ERRATICALLY UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE CHANGE OF VCM MODULE. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT ? THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LARGER OCCURRING ISSUES WHICH COULD EFFECT SAFETY INCLUDE THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DECIDING TO CHANGE FROM 2WD/A4WD/4WDH4WDL WHENEVER IT WANTS TO UNDER VARIOUS WEATHER/ROAD CONDITIONS (INCLUDING PERFECT WEATHER AND ROAD SURFACE) AND OCCASIONAL RANDOM IGNITION SYSTEM FAILURE THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL ON IT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL RIGS LIKE THIS ONE COME IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE .. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND HAVE THIS FIXED BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR KILLED.. *TR
