2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

INSTRUMENT DASH CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK UPON START. NO BATTERY, OIL, GAS, SPEEDOMETER. NEEDLES DO NOT MOVE AT ALL. *TR

LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH ON 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS IS CORRODED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EXT BUT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO THE LS. I CAN'T SHUT MY DOOR BECAUSE THE LATCH WON'T HOOK.I OPENED THE DOOR AND COULD NOT SHUT IT AFTER THAT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T LATCH. HAVE NOT BEE ABLE TO LOCATE PART AT A REASONABLE PRICE SO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT YET. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED UP RECALLS BUT COULDN'T HELP US CAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER ISN'T COVERED. *TR

WIFE PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS DOWN TO A 1/4 TANK AND IT IS NOW THE WINTER MONTHS, WE DONT LIKE TO BE BELOW HALF A TANK. SHE DROVE IT HOME AND LATER THAT NITE I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE LIGHT WAS ON. I WENT TO PUT FUEL IN IT AND AT 5 DOLLARS THE TANK FOR FUEL. THE GAS GAUGE SHOW EMPTY UPON EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK FALLS TO A SUFFICIENT LEVEL TO CAUSE THE GAUGE TO DISPLAY ERRATIC AND FALSE READINGS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE WHICH CONTINUES TO BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM. FUEL LEVEL NOW MUST BE ESTIMATED THROUGH THE USE OF THE TRIP ODOMETER THE GAUGE READS FULL WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES STAYS AT FULL OR READS EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON. CALLED LOCAL GARAGE THEY SAID SOUNDS LIKE A BAD FUEL LEVEL SENSOR COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS FROM 02-09. *TR

CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 2002 INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTION: OIL GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO WHEN IDLING- IS INTERMITTENT. I THOUGHT THE OIL PUMP WAS FAILING AND PAID TO HAVE TOWED TO MECHANIC. THEY SAID THAT INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS GLITCH IN IT SO YOU CANNOT TELL IF OIL PRESSURE IS ACCURATE. CAR IS RUNNING FINE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2002 CHEV.TRAILBLAZER LTZ FROM JOE CECCONIS DEALERSHIP. MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD THEY TOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND SO THEY REPLACED IT IN 2008. WED. NOV. 18TH 2010 IT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS IN IT. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPT. MADE A REPORT AND JOE CECCONIS WONT RETURN MY CALLS. WHAT DO I DO? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WAS ABNORMALLY POINTED UPWARD AT A HIGHER ANGLE THEN NORMAL. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THERE WAS NO ADJUSTMENT AVAILABLE FOR THE HEADLIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT SHOULD BE POINTED STRAIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF A WALL TO INSPECT THE ANGLE OF THE HEAD LIGHTS, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD HIT THE WALL ABOUT EIGHT INCHES HIGHER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,784. UPDATED 1/19/2010 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE RIGHT HEADLAMP WAS NOT PROPERLY AIMED. GM STATED THAT NO ADJUSTMENT WAS POSSIBLE. THE CONSUMER WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THE HEADLAMP WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUESTED THAT THEY INSTALL IT CORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. UPDATED 03/25/11

THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AFTER IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. MORE THAN FOUR DIAGNOSTIC TEST HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. VACUUM PROBLEM. NO RESOLUTIONS. GAS SMELL WHEN CAR INITIALLY IS STARTED UP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A GASOLINE ODOR ON THE SIDE OF MY SUV WHERE THE FUEL DOOR/FUEL TANK IS LOCATED. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET YIELDED MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS REPORTING FUEL TANK/SENDING UNIT/PUMP CORROSION RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK. A FAMILY MEMBER OF MINE JUST HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM REPAIRED ON A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I BELIEVE THIS SAME ISSUE IS STARTING WITH MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE GAS ODOR COMING FROM THE TANK FILL AREA, BUT THE ODOR PERSISTED. THE ODOR RESEMBLES AN ACTUAL GASOLINE SPILL AND/OR LEAK AND NOT JUST GASOLINE VAPOR ODOR, IE: FILLING THE TANK. LIKE I STATED BEFORE, INTERNET RESEARCH YIELDS MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND HAVING TO PAY FOR COSTLY REPAIRS. ANY ISSUE REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM/GASOLINE, IN MY OPINION, SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM GM IN REGARDS TO A RECALL BULLETIN. I AM GOING TO CONDUCT MORE INVESTIGATION, BUT IN THE MEANTIME THE SMELL OF A GASOLINE LEAK IS UNMISTAKABLE. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL AND I HOPE THAT A RECOURSE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND ITS REPAIRS CAN BE FORMULATED. IN THE MEANTIME I FEEL THAT A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS PRESENT AND NEEDS FAST AND EFFICIENT ATTENTION. THANK YOU. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL PUMP WAS SEVERELY CORRODED ON THE TOP INCLUDING TWO FUEL LINES THAT EXIT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK RESULTING FROM CORROSION. THE CONSUMER PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AT HIS EXPENSE. UPDATED 12/16/10
