2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT AND IT HAS STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS IS LEAKING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THIS IS MORE COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES THAN I WOULD OF THOUGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND A PART IS BEING ORDERED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL BE AT NO COST TO ME TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. I UNDERSTAND IT CAN FALL UNDER A SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT OR TSB# 05012. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS MAKING SURE THIS IS FIXED SO THAT A LEAK WILL NOT PUT ANY FAMILIES AT RISK. *TR

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. NO INDICATION THAT DOOR WAS OPENED. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT (ODI 10335683) ABOUT THE PASSENGER DOOR THAT I REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY. THIS WAS THE EXACT ISSUE FOR RECALL 05007. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN SPRING 2006. OBVIOUSLY G.M.S "FIX" IS NOT WORKING. LUCKILY THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2006 TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE BROUGHT IT IN THE SPRING OF 2006 AS PER THE RECALL. IF MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NOT BUCKLED IN SHE WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS 05007. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SEEMS TO HAVE A CLUSTER MOTOR PROBLEM. IT STARTED LATE LAST YEAR, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ERRATIC, FAILS, STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER . I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID THEY WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CLUSTER. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CHEVY TAHOES, SUBURBANS, AVALANCHE AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON THIS, WHY NOT THE TRAILBLAZER...SAME ENGINE, DIFFERENT MODEL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CHEVY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM , THEY JUST REFUSE TO ADMIT IT. WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR THE $800-$900 REPAIR WHEN OBVIOUSLY ITS FAULTY? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON JUNE 5, 2010, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WHEN IT BEGAN TO MAKE A HUMMING NOISE AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP BEGAN VIBRATING. ALSO, WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT CONSULTED A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 04V046000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

AFTER A FREEZE THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON. *TR

FAN CLUTCH- SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF UNTIL RPM IS UP THEN CLUTCH DISENGAGES AND SOUNDS NORMAL AGAIN. I'VE SEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, BUT STILL NO RECALL! WHY NOT????? *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. THOUGHT I WAS GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND OTHER CARS WERE ZIPPING PAST ME TURNED OUT I WAS ONLY GOING 51 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS JUST STUCK ON 51. I LOOKED ON-LINE TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAD, SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE WERE 100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A "SAFETY HAZARD", HOW CAN NOT KNOWING YOUR EXACT SPEED ALL THE TIME NOT BE A SAFETY HAZARD??? GRANTED THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS BUT EVENTUALLY SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT NOT KNOWING YOUR SPEED COULD CAUSE YOU TO GET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE. IT WILL COST CONSUMERS BETWEEN 400-600 DOLLARS TO FIX, WHEN IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT, TO WHOM WE THE TAXPAYERS JUST BAILED OUT. CHEVY SHOULD RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR OTHER MODELS. THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM BUT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER THE COSTS. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING 55 MPH AND ACTUALLY GOING 70? COULD BE ALOT OF PROBLEMS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER LS IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT WON'T GO DOWN PAST 30 MPH - THUS WHEN I'M GOING 45 MPH, IT READS 75 MPH. FIRST TIME WAS IN 2009, AND THEN YESTERDAY (5/18/2010) IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME THE SHOP I TOOK IT TO WAS ABLE TO REPAIR IT, BUT TODAY THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW CLUSTER. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO ME, AND THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
