ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

STEERING
NEW TRAILBLAZER HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING IS ULTRA SENSITIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MINOR CORRECTIONS TEN TO CAUSE OVERSTEERING AND SWAYING OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IN AN EMERGENCY HIGHWAY SITUATION THE STEERINGS SENSITIVITY COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE ROLLOVER SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE SINCE THE CAR WAS DELIVERED AND THEY SAID THE TIRES AND ALIGNMENT ARE ALL WITHING SPECS. THE MANAGER DID COMMENT AFTER DRIVING MY CAR THAT HE THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND THAT CHEVY MAKES CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND THIS SEEMS TO BE THE MOST SENSITIVE. HE SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A REPORT. THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID ALL WAS WITHIN SPECS AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I THINK THIS IS A POTENTIALLY MAJOR ISSUE AND SOMEONE SHOULD REVIEW THE SAFTEY ASPECS OF THIS STEERING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN OCTOBER OF 2001. IT TOOK AT LEAST 8 VISITS TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS ON LONG ISLAND AND MOUNT VERNON, WASHINGTON (I MOVED SEVERAL TIMES) BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED SATISFACTORILY IN 2004. I RAISE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I READ ABOUT GM'S RECALL OF THEIR 2003 AND 2004 AND IT SHOULD ALSO APPLY TO THEIR 2002 VEHICLES

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
'02 TRAILBLAZER-I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AT 30K. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE WHEN PULLING IT OUT OF THE GARAGE THE 4X4 SELECTION LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND THE RED "N" WOULD FLASH. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL THE RED "N" WOULD GO OUT AND THE 2WD LIGHT WOULD COME ON. AT APPROX. 40K MILES IT DID IT ONE DAY WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE. LATER THAT DAY I WAS JUST EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE/TRANSMISSION. THE NOISE CHANGED PITCH WITH MY SPEED. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL DOWN A HILL. I RE-APPLIED THE BRAKE, STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SWITCHED IT FROM 2WD TO 4WD THEN BACK TO 2WD. THE VEHICLE THEN WAS ABLE TO MOVE AND I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE FLASHING "N" WAS NOT NORMAL AND TO BRING IT IN IF IT DID IT AGAIN. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SITE I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. I SPOKE WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 5/3/05 ON THIS AND ANOTHER ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE LIST OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE ADDED IF THE DEALERSHIP SAW THE PROBLEM.

I WENT AT LEAST 3 CAR LENGTHS FURTHER THAN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HAD I NOT BEEN IN AN OUTSIDE LANE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH.
