DT: THE CONTACT PULLED THE FUSE ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY DID NOT STOP, THEY WERE CONTINUALLY RUNNING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH COULD BE TURNED OFF AND THE WIPERS WOULD STILL BE WORKING. THEY WERE BEGINNING TO SCRATCH THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO DEALERSHIP AND GM. THEY CLAIMED THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL 04V046000. DUE TO VIN.*AK

THE LEFT REAR DOOR FAILS TO LATCH CLOSE. THE ONLY WAY I FOUND TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED IS TO OPERATE THE INSIDE DOOR RELEASE LEVER MANY (30-80 TIMES) AND TRY CLOSING THE DOOR EVER SO OFTEN. IT APPEARS THAT THE DOOR FAILS TO LATCH MOST OFTEN WHEN IT HASN'T BEEN USED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I HAVE SPRAYED LUBRICATING OIL/SOLUTION INTO THE LATCHING MECHANISM SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN IT FAILS TO LATCH AGAIN. I INTEND ON BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. *JB

I HAVE A 03 TB 2WD I HAVE NOTICED RECENTLY THAT IT IS NOT CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED THREE MORE TIMES. THEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE "MACHINE" AND ALL THEY COULD FIND WRONG WAS MY O2 SENSOR. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE GAS SENSOR. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION.(THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID) THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. I TOLD THEM I WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE THE CAR ON A TRIP 1,000 MILES ONE WAY. NO PROBLEMS THEY SAID. I CALLED AND QUESTIONED THE DEALERSHIP AND HE ACTED VERY SURPRISED BY THIS. SAYS HE HASN'T SEEN A "PROBLEM" WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS DAUGHTER ALSO HAS A TRAILBLAZER AND HERS HAS STARTED TO ACT UP AS WELL, AND GUESS WHAT IT IS THE SAME THING AS MINE. I WENT ON THIS WEB SITE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TB. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS MADNESS? HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.EF15323/65. *NM

MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN THE CRAIN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION, LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO CRAIN ON SEPTEMBER 26, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY GONE. OF COURSE, THEY QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $2,000.00 WHICH I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T BE OUT OF POCKET FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE I REPEATEDLY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING PROPER. OF COURSE, THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND STATED THAT THERE WASN'T A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR PULLED ALL OF MY SERVICE TICKETS THAT SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION....THEY THEN AGREED TO SPLIT THE AMOUNT WITH ME; HOWEVER, I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPLIT THE COST BECAUSE I MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO CRAIN'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THIS LAST VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. *NM
