2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

LEFT BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK, EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BULB WITH A NEW BULB.*AK

THERE WERE NO EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE FAILURE WAS A COUPLING ON THE HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMISSION LINE. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SPRAYED ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND STARTED A MAJOR ENGINE FIRE.*AK NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS TIME.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2002 TRAILBALZER HAVE EITHER BURNED OUT OR FAILED TO FUNCTION 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. A SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED BY OTHER DRIVERS WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE THE BULBS WERE REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE OTHER TIMES AT LOCAL MECHANICS WHILE I WAS TRAVELING. ENOUGH OF AN ISSUE TO MAKE ME CONSIDER TRADING VEHICLES. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AS IF NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED. THE STARTING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN SEVEN TIMES. *JB

THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WERE BURNING OUT CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RECURRED, HOWEVER THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. THIS INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED BY BRYAN'S FATHER JOHN SAVCHAK. *JB

BOTH REAR BRAKE LAMPS NOT WORKING WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED. BOTH BULBS AND ALL FUSES SEEM TO BE FINE. *JB

UPON STARTUP (COLD OR WARMED) THERE ARE HIGH RPM'S, THE IDLE IS HIGH, ENGINE RACES AND DOES NOT IDLE DOWN. WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AND GIVING GAS THERE IS LOW ACCELERATION AND THE TRUCK WON'T GO OVER ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2-3 BLOCKS THE TRUCK SHIFTS AND THEN RUNS NORMAL. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, DEALER STATES IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM WE CAN'T DIAGNOSE OR FIX IT. BLACK BOX RECORDER IS NEEDED TO INSTALL UNTIL PROBLEM IS REPRODUCED AND CAN BE RECORDED. *LA

THE RIGHT PASSENGER LOW BEAM SOCKET BURNED/MELTED TWICE SINCE 5/2003 AND THREE BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. REPORTED TO CHEVROLET 7/04. THIS IS A T.S.B. LISTED ON ALLDATA.COM, BUT CHEVROLET REFUSES TO USE T.S.B.'S LISTED ANYWHERE BUT THE GM SITE AND THE NHTSA SITE. *AK

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE AND LOCK FAILED TO OPEN OR LOCK ON THEIR OWN. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE AND LOCKS WERE A MANUFACTURING DESIGN FLAW, AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM BUT HAS NO SOLUTION. MECHANIC REPLACED DOOR HANDLE AND LOCKS, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

THE BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD MELTED WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE WIPER MOTOR FAILED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. *JB
