2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER SOUNDS LIKE A JET ENGINE WHEN PREPARING TO START OUT IN THE DRIVE POSITION AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHEN SPEED YOU START OUT IN. THE AUTO MECHANIC I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL TIMES SAID IT WOULD COST HUNDREDS TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH FAN TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM POSSIBLY MORE AND IT IS USING WAY TOO MUCH GAS NOW. *JB

DRIVING TO COLUMBUS, THE UPPER MOLDING AROUND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT GOT CAUGHT BY THE AIR FLOW BENT UP THEN BROKE FREE FROM TWO ATTACHMENTS. THIS ALLOWS THE UPPER MOLDING AND BRAKE SLIGHT TO "FLAP" IN THE AIR FLOW. IF THIS HAD BROKE FREE HIT COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR BEHIND AND/OR BROKE THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW. DID NOTICE A CREAKING SOUND WHEN OPENING TAILGATE EARLY IN THE DAY. LOOKED AND DID NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS. *NM

IN AUG. OF THIS YEAR I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FRIEND IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN I MADE A TURN THE LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED. I PULLED OVER TO CLOSE IT , DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO SAME PROBLEM.

MECHANIC FIXED THE TAIL LIGHTS BUT DID NOT REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. *KB THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER HE WOULD RECEIVE NEW BLADES AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THOSE BLADES DIDN'T WORK ANY BETTER. *JB

2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD AND HAS BEEN REPLACED. LOWER BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WORE OUT THE TIRES. *KB *JB

TRAILBLAZER ROLLED ON STRAIGHT ROAD. VEHICLE HAD SIDE AND FRONT AIR BAGS THAT DID NOT OPERATE AS VEHICLE CRASHED. ONLY PROTECTION OFFERED WAS THE SEAT BELT. MAY HAVE HAD ONLY MINOR INJURY IF EQUIPMENT OPERATED BUT MY WIFE WAS BADLY HURT. *JB

2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE KEY HAS BEEN TURNED COMPLETELY IN THE IGNITION, A FAST, CONTINUOUS CLICKING NOISE WILL START. (KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE A DETONATION DEVICE) SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH. RELAY SENSOR? OVERHEAD LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF WITHOUT PROMPTING. WHILE DRIVING, THE INSIDE LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OF. WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND OFF, INSIDE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ARE OFF - SEVERAL HOURS LATER, RETURN TO FIND INSIDE OVERHEAD LIGHT(S) ON - CAR WAS LOCKED. FAST CLICKING NOISE IS MADE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER SETTING IS CHANGED FROM ONE SETTING TO ANOTHER. IN EXAMPLE: CLICKING NOISE WILL START WHEN YOU TURN THE DIAL TO CHANGE FROM FEET AND MID BODY AIR, TO FEET AIR ONLY. *JB
