MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WAS RECALLED IN 2005 FOR A WIPER MOTOR DEFECT. THE DEFECT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED. THE WIPERS NOW EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEMS AS STATED IN THE RECALL. I CALLED GM AND THEY WILL NOT AGREE TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V046000. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS HAD MULTIPLE DRIVE TRAIN/TRANSMISSION FAILURES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 99000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN IN FOR TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS/WORK ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST OCCASION BEING NOV. 28, 2007 AT WHICH TIME THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACKWARD WHILE IN PARK. UPON REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION PAN METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND. CURRENTLY THIS VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING SERVICE/ CALL BACK FROM GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION CUSTOMER CARE AS TO WHETHER THEY WILL COVER FAILURE DUE TO THE WARRANTY OF 5 YEAR WAS UP 8/31/07, WITH SOME TRANSMISSION PARTS WARRANTED FROM REPAIR AT 90,000 MILES. HOWEVER, THE CHEVY SERVICE GARAGE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT IS THE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PARTS FAILURE, THEREFORE CANNOT GUARANTEE COVERAGE UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THAT ARE WITH ME DAILY IN THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE TWICE AND NOW THE VEHICLE ROLLS OUT OF PARK. THESE AFOREMENTIONED FACTS MAKE ME FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
FOR SEVERAL DAYS, I SMELLED GASOLINE AROUND MY VEHICLE AND HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE VEHICLE. ONCE I GOT IT TO A GARAGES, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETELY ROTTEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE ON A MODERN VEHICLE. THE FUEL PUMP WAS WORKING, BUT THE COMPONENTS INTO THE PUMP WERE ROTTEN AND LEAKING, THUS REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND MY GAS GAUGE READS LOW FUEL. POOR EQUIPMENT IS THE CAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A NEW SUV AND THEY SHOULD FIX THEM. THE COST IS OVER $500.00 DOLLARS I UNDERSTAND THAT MAINTENANCE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY BUT A NEW TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES SUCH AS THESE. ALSO SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION GOES IN NEUTRAL WHEN I'M IN DRIVE AND I LOSE POWER. THE TECH'S CANT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ALSO A CODE FOR THE PURGE VALVE IS ON AND THE DEALER CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP . *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS GOING BAD. IT REGISTERS SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 120MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ONLY GOING 60MPH. THERE IS A LIMITED RECALL BUT ONLY IF YOUR VEHICLE FALLS UNDER 7 YEARS 70,000 MILES. MY 2004 TAHOE HAS 84,000 MILES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS "EXTENDED WARRANTY". *TR

STEERING
USUALLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 55MPH - 60 MPH AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE FRONT END START SHAKING REALLY BAD. IT WILL LAST UNTIL YOU STOP AND THEN IT WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS AND THEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. IF YOU TRY TO BRAKE DURING THIS OCCURRENCES THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES EVEN WORSE. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER (2) TWICE THEY COULD NOT VERIFY PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
UPON ATTEMPTING TO HAVE MY TIRE SERVICED AT A LOCAL FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER I WAS INFORMED BY MANAGER THERE THAT ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE WERE DEFECTIVE, TREAD COULD SEPARATE FROM TIRE, AND THAT THEY WOULD THEREFORE NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICE. ALL TIRES SHOW CRACKING AT BASE OF TREAD WHERE IT MEATS THE SIDEWALL ALL THE WAY AROUND EACH TIRE. THESE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TIRES PURCHASED ON NEW GM '04 TRAILBLAZER IN FEBRUARY OF THAT YEAR. THERE IS VERY LITTLE TREADWARE AND TIRES ONLY HAVE 29,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRE DESCRIPTION: BFGOODRICH OPEN TRAIL T/A P245/70R16. DOT AP9L 2E11 3303 *TR

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
JAN/FEB 2007. SWITCHED TRAILBLAZER INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HIGH FOR FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASE (APRIL 2006), AND WOULD NOT TRANSFER INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. TOOK TO LOCAL GM DEALER, REPLACED CONTROL MODULE, COST AROUND $700. OCTOBER 24, 2007 WHILE TRAILBLAZER WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING THE VEHICLE CHANGED FROM 2 WHEEL DRIVE TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. THE SWITCH WAS STILL IN THE 2 WHEEL DRIVE POSITION. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE BACK INTO 2 WHEEL DRIVE AT ALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ENCODER MOTOR. NOVEMBER 20, 2007. LEFT VEHICAL RUNNING WHILE IN PARK. WENT INTO A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE,THEN RETURNED TO VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY. AS I WAS BACKING UP, THE VEHICLE STOPPED, AS IF I HAD BACKED INTO AN OBJECT (IE, ANOTHER CAR), I PULLED FORWARD BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY, AND LOOKED AROUND, SAW NOTHING, AND WAS GOING INTO THE HOUSE TO GET A FLASHLIGHT WHEN THEY NOTICED THAT YET AGAIN, THE TRAILBLAZER HAD CHANGED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK INTO 2 WHEEL DRIVE, AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM CHECKED AGAIN. TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM JANUARY TO DATE IS MORE THAN $1200. *TR
