2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, IT FAILED TO MOVE AND A WHINING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01V283000 REGARDING THE TRANSFER CASE, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CANNOT OPERATE IN REVERSE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 142,002.

IT HAS THE "MEMORY" MIRROR OPTION WHICH INCLUDES FEATURING MEMORY SET OPTIONS FOR DRIVER 1 AND DRIVER 2, AS WELL AS REARVIEW CURB ASSISTANCE (THE MIRRORS WILL TILT DOWN TO YOUR SETTING TO HELP PARALLEL PARK WHEN IN REVERSE).THE MIRRORS QUIT HOLDING THEIR MEMORY, CAUSING ME ONCE AGAIN TO HAVE TO RESET THE MIRRORS EVERY TIME I GOT IN THE CAR. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I THOUGHT MY MIRRORS WERE RESET, AND THEN I WOULD LOOK TO CHANGE LANES AND FIND MY MIRROR TILTED UP TOWARDS THE SKY OR SOME ERRATIC PLACE. NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREME ANNOYANCE. WENT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY "RESET" THE MIRRORS, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL MODULE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS DEFECTIVE AND MUST BE REPROGRAMMED. THE MIRRORS, LOCKS, AND SEATS MUST BE READJUSTED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MODULE WAS VERY INCONSISTENT REGARDING ADJUSTMENTS. THE REPAIR COSTS WERE VERY EXPENSIVE, BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,811. UPDATED 8/7/09 *CN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS STUCK FOR OVER 8 MONTHS. UPDATED 08/11/09.*JB

THE TAILLIGHTS ARE DELAYED WHEN NEEDING TO TURN ON. IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKE, BLINKER OR PLACE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON UNTIL A FEW SECONDS HAVE PASSED. ALSO CONDENSATION BUILDS UP ON THE INSIDE LENS. IT HAPPENS EVER TIME I DRIVE OR USE THE VEHICLE. A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE TAILLIGHTS DID NOT COVER THE DELAY OR CONDENSATION ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND GM. SO FAR I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY CORRECTIVE STEPS, I AM GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY AND HOPE THAT RESOLVES IT. THE LIGHT IS NOT CRACKED OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, AND VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000. UPDATED 07/10/09. *LJ WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN, IT AFFECTED THE GAUGES AS WELL.
