2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT, THAT I PURCHASED 4 1/2 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT, HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS A 2000 FIX. I AM ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED THAT A VEHICLE WITH RELATIVELY FEW MILES ON IT IS HAVING SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

HEADLIGHTS BECOME INOPERATIVE WHEN DRIVING: WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHTS BECOME OPERATIVE. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND HE STATED THAT THERE WAS KNOW VISUAL REASON THAT HE COULD FIND ON WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING HE ADVISED THAT I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED, THIS PRESENTS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IF THE LIGHTS FAIL IN THE DAY LIGHT HOURS I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE FAILURE ONLY AT NIGHT CAN I VISUALLY SEE THAT MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED. THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE CAN LAST FOR MINUTES TO HOURS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND MY HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY FAIL. *TR

FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED BECAUSE OF A VAPOR LEAK CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO ACTIVATE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I DETECTED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AND WAS JUST NOW TOLD THAT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS BADLY CORRODED WITH GAS LEAKING THROUGH IT. WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT AS THE MODULE IS STILL WORKING. THIS IS EITHER A FAULTY DESIGN, OR SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS ARE BEING USED FOR THIS PART AS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ALL THAT OLD, AND THIS CONDITION IS PRESENTING A SERIOUS HAZARD WITH THE GAS AND GAS VAPORS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WAS FOUND LEAKING GAS ROUND THE TOP OF THE TANK, THE SERVICE TECH SAID THE MODULE WAS RUSTED AND WILL NEED REPLACING @$800. *TR

TRANSMISSION LINE LEAKING. COOLING LINE RUBBING ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ON CONVERTER. SMOKE COULD BE SEEN. POSSIBLE FIRE ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FAILURE POSSIBLE IF FLUID LEVEL TOO LOW. LINE WAS IN CONTACT WITH CONVERTER. REMEDY WAS TO HAVE ALL LINES REPLACED SO THEY WERE ROUTED AWAY FROM CONVERTER. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DEVELOPED CORROSION AND LEAKED FUEL FROM THE UNIT. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $592. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY FUEL TANK REPLACE NOW I HEAR KNOCKING AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAVE BEEN DAMAGE BECAUSE OF THIS. GMC NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS AS A RECALL. *TR

THE MOTORS ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER START TO FAIL AROUND 50K MILES. MINE IS FAILING RIGHT NOW WITH 51K MILES CAUSING A FALSE READING ON THE SPEEDOMETER. AFTER A SHORT TIME ON THE ROAD THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO LOSE SPEED WITH OUT LIFTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER A 1/2 HR ON THE ROAD DOING(ATLEAST I THINK) 65MPH IT WILL READ THAT I AM DOING ONLY 20-30 MPH.. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS STOPPED WORKING. MY SPEEDOMETER, AND OIL GAUGES DO NOT WORK. CHEVY CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. I FEEL CHEVY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. AFTER INJECTING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK. THE FUEL CAP WAS REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL TANK INJECT VALVE FRACTURE, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER VOLUNTARILY RECALLED THAT COMPONENT IN AUGUST OF 2007. THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED; THEREFORE, HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1,200 FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,867.
