2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY MY RPM JOLT UP TO FIVE A HORRIBLE NOISE COMES FROM ENGINE AND I LOOSE ALL POWER. IF I EVEN TOUCH GAS A LITTLE RPM JUMP TO FIVE AND TRANSMISSION WHINES VERY LOUD. CAR BEHIND ME SLAMS ON BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. I THROW ON CAUTIONS AND HAVE TO PUSH MY CAR OFF ROAD WHILE CARS ARE TRYING TO GER AROUND ME AT TEN AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I HAVE TO HAVE MY HUSBAND LOAD OUR THREE KIDS IN HIS TINY ECLIPSE WELL AFTER BEDTIME TO DRIVE THE 40 MINUTES TO COME GET ME AND PAY 150 DOLLARS TO HAVE CAR TOWED OFF SIDE OF ROAD BACK TO MY HOUSE. WHERE IT NOW SITTING WITH BLOWN TRANSMISSION AND BROKEN TRANSMISSION LINES. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE! IN FACT THE VERY 1ST TIME I HAD TO USE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IT DID NOT WORK! THE DEALER, CHEVROLET OF HERSHEY WOULD KEEP THE SERVICE TICKET OPEN FOR A MONTH AT A TIME AND NOW I EXPECT I KNOW WHY SINCE THIS COULD HAVE COME UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE MORE RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO RELEASE THE 4WD AND THIS CAUSED, WITHOUT A DOUBT CAUSED THE NEED TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION! I ALSO HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND TIME OFF FROM WORK NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUES. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF MANY '02 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS!

MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER ONE SEASONABLY WINTER DAY. I HAD THE HEATER MOTOR REPLACED 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND BACK WIPER MOTOR JUST A MONTH BEFORE THIS.THEN THE HEATER MOTOR CUT OUT, AND DID SO NUMEROUS TIMES AS I TRAVELED ON A 20 DEGREE DAY. IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE AFTER THAT FOR THE MOST PART THAT DAY. I LATER GOT INTO IT AND AGAIN HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED AND HEATER MOTOR CUT OUT. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE OR TURN TO THE RIGHT. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND HAD GROUND WIRES CLEANED ONLY TO HAVE IT RECUR A WEEK LATER. I DO MOST OF MY DRIVING AT NIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND CAME BACK ON I HAD ENOUGH. THIS HAD BECOME QUITE COSTLY AND MY MECHANIC WAS AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO NEXT. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND TRADED IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE, AS I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON A MYSTERY ISSUE. *TR
