VISIBILITY
2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXTERIOR MIRRORS WILL NOT HOLD THEIR ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS WILL USUALLY END UP POINTING DOWN AS I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BE A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THEY READJUST THEM SELVES IN TRAFFIC. CAN YOU HELP THE OWNERS OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL? *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO REGISTER PROPERLY SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE DRIVING; THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND/OR UP/DOWN HILLS. WHEN IDLING, SPEEDOMETER WOULD SHOW FROM 60 TO 120 MPH; RESET OF SPEEDOMETER ONLY LASTED UNTIL NEXT ENGINE START. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FAILED. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. THE REPAIRS COST ME ALMOST $300. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT SAID I WAS GOING 80 MILES AN HOUR AND I NOTICED ALL THE OTHER CARS WERE PASSING ME! I THEN NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER CONTINUING TO RISE UNTIL IT WENT TO 120 MPH! I KNEW I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST. SOMETIMES IT WORKS IF I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND ON UNTIL IT GETS TO 0 MPH BUT THEN IT ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND GOES CRAZY AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE AN 06 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THE SENDING UNITS ON MY FUEL PUMP IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT SEEMS TO NOT CARE AND ONLY WANTS TO COLLECT THE MONEY FOR THESE REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMPS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM RECALL THIS AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THIS, IT IS NOT JUST THE TRAILBLAZER BUT THE ENVOYS AND RAINERS. SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER ISSUE WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS. MAKES ONE WONDER HOW MANY OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND NOT POSTED IT ON LINE AND PAID THE 800 PLUS TO FIX IT. *TR
