2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TRANSMISSION FAILURE (AT 75,000 MILES) ON HIGHWAY $2000 REPAIR REQUIRED - FULL TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL

DRIVERS SEAT WILL MOVE TO THE "EXIT POSISTION" WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE DRIVER WAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND DROVE OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIME FOR REPAIR WITH NO LUCK.

DT: CONSUMER STATES: THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT SHUT OFF, TURNED ON DURING A RAIN STORM, AND CANNOT GET THEM TO TURN OFF WITHOUT PULLING THE FUSE.*AK

AS I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE TACHOMETER STARTS TO JUMP AROUND AND THEN I LOSE THE DIRECTIONALS AND MY LIGHTS. IF I TURN OFF THE IGNITION IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT FUSE #22 IS BLOWING. AS OF TODAY, MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE EACH TIME. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE INSTUMENT CLUSTER AND THE IGNITION LOCK. I AM SEEKING LEGAL ADVISE.

WHILE DRIVING OBOUT 25 MILES MY VEHICLE STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING.I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND TRIED TO STARTED NOTHING HAPPEN. CALLED THE DEALER THEY SENT A TOWED TRUCK AND SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND REPLACED IT. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANY MORE.A CAR THAT STOPS SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS.

DT: THE OWNER WENT TO OPEN THE GLASS ON THE TAILGATE ,AND WHEN THE OWNER HAD HER HAND ON THE HANDLE TO LIFT THE GLASS IT EXPLODED FROM THE TAILGATE. THE WERE NO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TAILGATE. DEALER REPLACED THE GLASS WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE OWNER'S CHILD SUSTAINED INJURIES IN THIS INCIDENT, SHE HAD A SMALL CUT ON HER HAND, ON HER CHEEK, AND A LARGE CUT ON HER FACE ABOVE HER EYEBROW.*AK

DT: LAST YEAR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED, THEN LAST WEEK THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK DOOR WINDOW COMPLETELY EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. THE CHEVROLET FILE #1329931557. A SEPARATE PAINT CLAIM #5858627-01. THE CONSUEMR BELIEVES THE GLASS ON THE CAR IS FAULTY. THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 40'S. *NM

CONTACT STATES: LEFT AND RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILED AND VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR MAKING A RIGHT TURN. CONTACT SAYS THAT 2002 CHEVROLET, TRAILBLAZER WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HE IS HAVING. *AK

SINCE JANUARY OF 2005 MY 2003 TRAIL BLAZER HAS BEEN BLOWING THE IGNITION FUSE EVERY TIME I START MY TRUCK. IT WILL TRY UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND THAN NO POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY TURN SIGNALS GO OUT, AND MY GAUGE GOES HAY WIRE. I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH MY REMOTE START, AND I HAD THAT COMPLETELY REMOVED. NOW IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHARGED ME $20 TO PUT A FUSE BACK IN WHICH I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT STARTED, BUT IT WILL BLOW AGAIN. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE FUSE BLOW THE SERVICE MANAGER JUST CAME OUT AND REPLACED THE FUSE AGAIN AND DID NOT CARE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN. HE BASICALLY JUST WANTED ME TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP. GUESS WHAT BEFORE I EVEN TURNED OUT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN AGAIN. WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE FUSE, AND IT WAS FINE. IF I WANTED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER IT WOULD COST $300. JUST TO LOOK AT MORE. I AM PRETTY MUCH AT A LOSS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILES, BUT IS ONLY A 1 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK IT WAS REALLY BAD THAT BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM , AND THEY WERE FINE WITH LETTING ME LEAVE. *AK

THE BLOWER FAN FOR THE HEATING & AIR CONTIONING SYSTEM FAILED, DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OR POOR WORKMANSHIP IN THE OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY DUCT, ALLOWING SMALL ANIMALS (LIKE MICE & CHIPMUNKS) TO GET INSIDE.THE CHEVROLET DEALER REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR, CHARGING ME $187.87 FOR THE REPAIR,SAYING THAT IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER SHOULD BE COVED BY GM'S WARRANTY. THIS REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF SMALL ANIMALS GETTING TO THE BLOWER MOTOR.*AK
