2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED PER THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATIONS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS RECORD OF THIS. WE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION UP UNTIL 26 NOV 2008. WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD BANG AND I LOST OVERDRIVE. I ALSO LOST REVERSE GEAR AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP (AAMCO) IS CHARGING ME 2095.00 TO REBUILD IT. THIS INCLUDES A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES ON IT. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED AS IT SEEMS THERE IS A LONG LIST OF FOLKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. I WOULD LIKE SOME MONETARY COMPENSATION TO HELP REPAIR THIS. THOUGHT YOU GUYS MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW. *TR

WHEN I TOUCH THE BUTTONS ON MY RADIO THEY GET VERY VERY HOT. THEIR IS A LONG LIST OF THINGS WRONG WITH THIS 2002 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER. BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVY THEY TOLD MY THAT MY SUV IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES AFFECTED? THEIR IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK SEEMS LOWER, LIKE A SHOCK IS BROKEN? THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER NEVER WORKED. THE AIR CONDITIONING ONLY WORK ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL ( 5 ). THE REAR TAILGATE NEVER LOCKS WHEN YOU HIT THE POWER LOCKS. THE TAPE PLAYER STARTS ON ITS OWN, AND WILL BLOW A FUSE CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE DAY I BOUGHT THE 2002 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER THE HEAD GASKET BLEW AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT WITH A USED HEAD GASKET. THIS SUV HAS ALOT OF ISSUES AND IS GETTING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE CHEVROLET ADDRESS THESE ISSUES BUT THEY WONT FIX ANYTHING WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR THEM. I AM ON A TIGHT BUDGET, AND I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF RECALLS WITH THESE ISSUES THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED. SHOULDN'T THEY FIX THESE THINGS FREE OF CHARGE? PLEASE HELP! *TR

WAS PULLING INTO WORK PARKING LOT WHEN A HEARD A QUICK BANG FOLLOWED BY SCREECHING NOISE. I TRIED PARKING BUT COULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. FORWARD GEARS APPEAR TO WORK FINE BUT REVERSE IS COMPLETELY GONE. MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER HAS UNDER 70,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. AFTER READING SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I SUSPECT THAT ONCE I TAKE IT FOR REPAIR I WILL BE TOLD IT IS THE SUN SHELL AND CORRESPONDING GEARS. I'M GLAD I WASN'T IN A DANGEROUS POSITION WHEN THE TRANNY WENT OUT BUT I COMPLETELY AGREE THAT THE SUN SHELL ISSUE IN THESE TRAILBLAZERS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S SICKENING THAT AS OF TODAY A RECALL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS NOT OUT THERE! I SUPPOSE IT TAKES A FEW TRAGEDIES FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BUT I'M HOPING THAT'S NOT THE CASE THIS TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 TRAILBLAZER IN WHICH 4 OUT OF THE SIX INSTRUMENTS IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER HAVE STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY WHICH IN TURN COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

HIATT PONTIAC CHEVY DEALER REPLACED THE CONTROL MOD AND THE SWITCH ON DASH . UNDER WARRANTY NOW WARRANTY IS UP AND DEALERSHIP OUT OF BUSINESS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR RECALL DEFECT REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER DATABASE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V046000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER); THEREFORE, THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I HAVE HAD TO ALREADY REPLACE THE COIL PACK IN MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND NOT IT SEEMS THAT IT OR ANOTHER ON IS GONE BAD AGAIN THE TRUCK IS SPUTTERING, LOSE OF POWER, NO SPEED. I LOVE THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE ALREADY MADE ON COMPLAINT ABOUT IT I ALSO KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE ALSO REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME THING. CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

MY HEADLIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS OUT. I CAN NOT JUST REPLACE THE BULB BECAUSE MY WIRES THAT CONNECT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO THE WIRING SYSTEM IS BURNT WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS TRIED TO CATCH FIRE. NOW MY WHOLE LIGHTING SYSTEM IS FLASHING AND WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH AND DIM DOWN. *TR

WHEN TURNING ON MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER..SOUNDS LIKE A JET AIRPLANE TAKING OFF. HAD IT REPLACED LAST YEAR (2007) AND IT'S STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL FAN CLUTCH HAD SOME SORT OF UPGRADE OR WAS IT JUST DEFECTIVE? *TR
