2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

2002 TRAIL BLAZER 4-WD BROKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSFER CASE MODULE FOR $400.00 ( VEHICLE NOT UNDER WARRANTY) I HAVE USED THE 4WD MAYBE 4 TIMES. NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE WEB WITH SIMILAR 4WD PROBLEMS. CALLED GM AND THEY BASICALLY SAID TOO BAD AND MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL SOMEDAY IN FUTURE. ALSO, AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE "SERVICE 4WD"LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS LIT UP. WAS NOT LIT BEFORE SO I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WAS BROKE- I ONLY NOTICED IT WASNT WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT 2 WEEKS AGO.*AK

WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED IT TWICE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM REAR VIEW MIRROR COMPASS NOT READING RIGHT AND OUTSIDE TEMP. NOT READING CORRECT ON A HOT 80 DEGREE DAY. READS -33 AND NOW MY A/C WONT WORK BECAUSE IT SAYING THAT'S ITS TOO COLD FOR THE A/C TO BE ON. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT BOTH FRONTAL PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SEAT BELTS LOCKED UP. ONCE THE SEAT BELT LOCKED UP CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. BUT, MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD A TIRE FAILURE. *TC

THE FRONT WINDSHEILD WIPERS ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER LT, HAVE A PROBLEM. WHEN THEY ARE SET FOR SLOW SPEED, THEY SKIP (JERK) AT THE SAME SPOT DURING THE WIPE. WHEN SET FOR NORMAL OPERATION, THEY DO NOT SKIP. I'VE CLEANED THE WINDSHEILD, AND REPLACED THE WIPER BLADES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPPER MOTOR. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I HAVE TO TURN ON THE WIPERS WHEN IT'S RAINING. IT STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT DATE WAS 11/30/04. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM? *AK

NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. CAR STALL 3X , BATTERY WENT OUT, WINDSHIELD WIPER WORN AND TAIL LIGHT OUT, CONSIDERED NOT SAFE. *BF THE VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE REAR. THE DASH SYSTEM WENT OUT AND THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGH. *SC

CONSUMER HEARD CLANKING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT/REAR SWAY BAR. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. *AK

I PURCHASED A NEW 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN THE SPRING OF 2002. AS EARLY AS THE FALL OF 2002 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RANDOMLY/AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE SWITCH WAS NOT TOUCHED AND WAS IN 2WHEEL DRIVE, BUT THE LIGHT FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS USUALLY WOULD OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE SCENARIO. TWO MONTHS AGO, THE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 29,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO THE AUTOMATIC CHANGING OF 2 TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I DEMANDED THE DEALERSHIP CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO THEIR SHOP FOUR TIMES SINCE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CORRECTED, AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND FAMILY ANS THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT THEM AROUND. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR ME REGARDING THIS SITUATION. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.*AK

2002 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER 67180 MILES. FAILED COOLING FAN CLUTCH. WWW.MYCARSTATS.COM INDICATES OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. GM TURNS A BLIND EYE. COST TO REPAIR IS JUST UNDER $600. THE FAN RUNS CONSTANTLY. IT IS A DESIGN FAILURE. I WILL NEVER BUY A GM VEHICLE AGAIN AND I WILL URGE ALL THE PEOPLE I KNOW TO NEVER BUY GM AGAIN.*AK

AUTOMATIC (PROGRAMMABLE) SIDE VIEW (EXTERIOR) MIRRORS DO NOT MAINTAIN THEIR SETTINGS. THEY MUST BE CHANGED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND SOMETIMES MOVE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. DEALER FIRST STATED THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND TOOK THE SERVICE TECH OUT TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. HE CLIMBED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SAID "GOSH, I DON'T KNOW." I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO THIS DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT MY WARRANTY. THE MIRROR ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE NUT WAS STRIPPED INSIDE THE MIRROR. NOW THAT MY CAR IS AT 34,000 AND THEY TELL ME I'VE OWNED IT FOR 3 YEARS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER THAT MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER ANY GOOD. I WOULD THINK A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE OVERRIDDEN THIS. *JB
