POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 4-WD SYSTEM, THE DASH SAID SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PLUG IT IN TO THE COMPUTER AND SAID THEY RECALIBRATED THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS A COMPUTER ERROR NOT EQUIPMENT FAILURE. ON DEC 5 OF 07 THE ROADS WERE SNOWY SO I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO 4 WD, BUT THE 4 WD DID NOT ENGAGE AND I SLID OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST ENDED UP IN A DITCH. AFTER THAT INCIDENT THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, ON DEC 6 OF 07, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, AND NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY 4-WD ACTUATOR WAS SHORTED OUT, MY BILL CAME TO $838.07. I CONTACTED SEVEN OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, A COUPLE WITH NEWER MODELS, AND THEY ALL EXCEPT TWO OF THEM, HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR SHORTING OUT. I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE OFFICE ON THIS MATTER AND ASK FOR ASSISTANCE IN PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND I SAID THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS PART TO GO BAD WITH 70,000 MILES ON A 2002 TRAILBLAZER, THEY TOLD ME THAT DUE TO MY YEAR OF VEHICLE AND MILES THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO FOR ME. I TOLD THEM THERE ARE OTHER CASES IN THE AREA WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I ASKED THEM TO INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, OR FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND FIX IT BEFORE OTHER NEWER MODELS ARE SENT OUT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SOMEBODY ACTUALLY GETS HURT BECAUSE OF EQUIPMENT FAILURE. GM STATED THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO WITH THIS UNLESS IT TURNS OUT TO BE AN ACTUAL RECALL. SO HERE I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT AND ASKING FOR HELP. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND SOLVED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS SERIOUSLY HURT DUE TO GM EQUIPMENT FAILURE!!! PLEASE HELP!!!! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHENEVER I DRIVE AT NIGHT THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIMES GO OUT COMPLETELY WHEN I BRAKE OR ALLOW THE TRUCK TO COAST. WHEN I USE THE GAS THE PROBLEM RESOLVES BUT SINCE I HAVE TO STOP SOMETIME THIS ISN'T A GOOD FIX. THE ELECTRICAL GAUGE ON MY DASH FLUXUATE WITH THE LIGHTS GOING FROM LOW TO HIGH AND BACK AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN INTO 2 DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY "CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" I WORK NIGHTS SO I AM DRIVING MOSTLY DURING THE NIGHT. HOW IS IT SAVE FOR A YOUNG WOMAN TO DRIVE ALONE AT NIGHT WITHOUT LIGHTS? THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR
