2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER OF WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. SINCE DAY ONE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH A MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS. IT HAS HAD AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT, CLUTCH FAN ($620.00), TAIL LIGHTS, HVAC CONTROLS $(200), EXHAUST MANIFOLD, RECALL ITEMS AND NOW FINALLY A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHERE THE SUN SHELL/GEAR LET GO COSTING ME ($1858.03). FAST FORWARD TO TODAY JUST 3 MONTHS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS "COMPLETELY OVERHAULED), THE VALVE BODY ID FAILING WHERE THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT "IS NOT PART OF THE 12 MONTH, 12,000 WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION."

MY TRANSMISSION WENT IN JANUARY OF 2005. IT IS NOW JULY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEN BECAUSE I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND I AM FIGHTING WITH THEM AGAIN. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WON'T SHIF OUT OF 1ST AND IT WON'T GO IN REVERSE AND THE LOUD NOISE IS HORRIBLE.

DT: CONSUMER HAS 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AND LOW AT RANDOM. CONSUMER WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY WHEN VEHICLE SHIFTED DOWN TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. WHEN CONSUMER WAS EXISTING FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED INTO 4 WHEEL LOW CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT SAID 4 WHEEL LOW. CONSUMER HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT SIX TIMES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY A FEW TIMES, CONSUMER STARTED TURNING LEFT INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN INTO LOW. CONSUMER STOPPED VEHICLE , AND THE LIGHT FLASHED AND CYCLED THROUGH DIFFERENT SETTINGS UNTIL IT WENT BACK TO 2 WHEEL HIGH. CONSUMER COULD FEEL VEHICLE SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL AND HIGH AND LOW WHEN LIGHT CHANGED POSITION. CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, WHO DEALER SAID THAT THEY DONE A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER AND THIS MAY FIX PROBLEM. DEALER COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. CONSUMER DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE WAS SCARED FOR HER FAMILY TO RIDE IN VEHICLE.*AK

I AN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SEAT WHICH HAS SNAPED A BRACKET WHICH SUPPORTS THE SEAT ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE! THIS BRACKET BROKE WHILE I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE AND CAUSED ME TO BE JOGGED TO THE SIDE WHEN THE SEAT DROPPED! I WAS NOT HURT BUT THE SUDDEN JOLT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE TO ONE SIDE BEFORE I RECOVERED! AS IT WAS THERE WAS NO ONE ON MY LEFT WHEN IT HAPPENED! I CALLED CHEVROLET AND DID NOT GET ANY SATISFACTION!

THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS TWO MONTHS AGO, RESULTING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK THE FIRST TIME, IN LAST TWO MONTHS, THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE DID HAVE A RECALL DEALING WITH THE FUEL LINES. THE FUEL LINE REPAIR WAS DONE TWICE AS WELL. THERE IS STILL A SMELL OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER STATES THAT CURRENTLY THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK. THE DEALER DID STATE PREVIOUSLY THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. AND THEN REPLACED IT. CONSUMER HAD TO WAIT FOR THE DEALER TO GET PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CONSUMER FEELS THIS PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF THE RECALL REPAIR WORK. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AFTER RECALL OF FUEL LINE WAS FIRST DONE. RECALL ID NUMBER 2016.*AK
