2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

2WD 4WD SELECTOR SWITCH CHANGES POSITION RANDOMLY. CAUSED A REPAIR TO FRONT RING AND PINION ASSEMBLY IN DIFFERENTIAL. SELECTOR SWITCH ACTED UP AT 50-70 MPH RANGE. COST OF REPAIR: $2000.00! GM WILL NOT COVER UNDER ANY WARRANTY. BASED ON OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS. I WOULD THINK IF GM WAS AWARE OF THIS MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING, SHOULD THERE NOT BE A RECALL! MY FATHER AND FATHER-IN-LAW BOTH WORKED FOR GM. I AGREE WITH ANOTHER CONSUMER THAT GM HAS NO REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR BUYERS. I'M CONSIDERING GOING TO FORD!!! UNLESS GM WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR "BREAD WINNER"??*AK

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2002 THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. NOW NEITHER OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. HOW CAN SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN BUT, CHEVROLET/GMAC IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE?

I BOUGHT MY TRAILBLAZER ON APRIL, 2002. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD ONLY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE INDICATOR LIGHT ABOVE THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE KNOB HAS FAILED TWICE. THE DOME LIGHT HAS FAILED TWICE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE REVERSE LIGHT HAS FAILED ONCE. FINALLY, THE PASSENGER-SIDE BRAKE LIGHT JUST RECENTLY FAILED. ALL BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHICH SOLD ME THE TRAILBLAZER. FROM THE REPAIR DESCRIPTION, THE PROBLEM DID NOT LIE FROM A BURNED-OUT BULB. RATHER, THE PROBLEM STEMMED FROM A FUSE OR ANOTHER INTERNAL, ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER LOST STEERING AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK CAUSING INJURIES TO THE CONSUMER (DRIVER). (LAWYER ON BEHALF OF CLIENT REBECCA DOYLE). *LA THE AIRBAG ALSO BURNED/INJURED THE PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, FUEL GAUGE, LEFT SEAT BELT, DASH (COMPUTER READOUT) AND THE BRAKES PULLED. *SC *JB

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE AIR CONDITION WHICH HAD BEEN REPAIRED TWICE. THE TAIL LIGHTS HAD ALSO BEEN EFFECTED AND THE POWER WINDOWS WERE STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS................................................. *JB

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES (OCTOBER 2002-OCTOBER2003) BY MICHAEL CHEVROLET (5737 N. BLACKSTONE AVE.) IN FRESNO, CA. FOR VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE HAZARDOUS AND HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALTERNATOR.*MR THE CAR HAD PROBLEMS SINCE IT LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH WAS REPLACED, THE CAR STALLS, BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP SHORTING OUT. IT COST THE CONSUMER $263.49 TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH CHEVROLET OR IT'S WARRANTY. *CB *JB

G.M. SENT NOTICES TO COSTUMERS IN JUNE 2003 OF POSSIBLE ENGINE CYLINDER PROBLEMS IN EARLY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. THIS PBOBLEM IS QUITE SERIOUS AND HAS IN THE PISTONS, DEVELOP A KNOCK OR SLAP.THIS CAN AND DOES CAUSE DAMAGE TO CYL. WALLS AND OTHER INTERNAL PARTS. G.M.HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE PISTONS ONLY.THIS IS NOT WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 17,700 MILES.ITIS MY FEELING THE ENGINE SHOULD BE REPLACED .G.M. DOES NOT.I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER AND WAS TOLD ONLY PISTONS WOULD BE REPLACED.THIS WOULD INVOLVE NEARLY IF NOT COMPLETLY REBUILDING THE ENGINE.THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AS I BELIVE I AN INTITLED TO HAVE THE ENGINE OF A NEW VEHICLE NOT A REBUILT ENGINE ACCEPTABLE FOR AN AGED VEHICLE. *AK

THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAVE GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS. EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND BULB. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT FUTURE PROBLEMS. *LA
