EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT, VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
DEALER WAS CONTACTED JAN 2005 TO SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR REAR LIGHTS AS PART OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT THE RECALL NOTICE NUMBER THAT WAS SENT TO ME. CALLED BACK A DAY LATER AND GAVE THE DEALER THE NUMBER FROM THE RECALL NOTICE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED AND THEY WOULD CALL ME. I RECEIVED A THIRD RECALL NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET ON 2/26/05 AND CALLED THE DEALER ON 3/2/05 AND SPOKE WITH A MAN IN SERVICE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT ORDERED AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS AND THEN AGAIN WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. I HAVE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I HAVE REPLACED 6 TAILLIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OF THIS WHEN I CALLED BEFORE. APPARENTLY THEY DO NOT HAVE A CALL BACK PROCEDURE FOR WHEN THEY SCREW UP. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
2005 RENTAL TRAIL BLAZER FROM ENTERPRISE ON 11/1/2005 FAILED TO LOCK THE SEAT BELT PROPERLY TO HOLD ME BACK FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I KNOW THIS WAS ALSO A PROBLEM ON THE 2002 TRAIL BLAZERS AND SOME OTHER SUVS. GM WAS TO SEND OUT AN INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK AT IT, BUT BECAUSE THEY WAITED TOO LONG, ENTERPRISE PUT THE SUV BACK ON THE ROAD. I AM NOT SURE IF THEY FIXED THE SEAT BELT OR NOT. I CAN NOT GET INFORMATION FROM THEM. GM SAYS MY INJURY IS NOT COMPENSATED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE EXACT SHAPE NOW AS IT WAS WHEN I DROVE IT. MY MEDICAL BILLS AND INJURY IS NOT IMPORTANT TO GM, I TALKED TO SEAN KELLY AT ESIS WHO HANDLES THESE KIND OF CLAIMS FOR GM AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS MY RESPONSIBLITY TO FIND OUT IF THE SUV I HAD WAS FIXED OR NOT. THAT IS NOT RIGHT, AND I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH DEFECTS ON THE SEAT BELTS, BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES VERY HARD AND FAST TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT THAT IS WHEN THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HOME SECURITY (AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER) SYSTEM HAS BEEN FAILING IN MY TRAILBLAZER. A FEW DAYS AGO WERE LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR DINNER, I OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR WITH THE MANUAL BUTTON JUST INSIDE THE GARAGE. APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE LATER I BEGAN PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE WHEN I SUDDENLY BACKED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR. CONFUSED ABOUT THE SITUATION I PULLED THE TRAILBLAZER BACK IN AND GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE. THE GARAGE DOOR HAD CLOSED APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY AND HIT THE TAILGATE JUST BELOW THE WIPER BLADE CAUSING SEVERAL DEEP SCRATCHES. I MANAGED TO POP THE GARAGE DOOR BACK INTO THE RAILS AND BEND THE ALUMINUM PIECES BACK IN PLACE SO THAT THE DOOR IS NOW SERVICEABLE. NOW LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT I GOT BACK INSIDE THE TRUCK AND THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE AGAIN. THIS HAS NOW BEEN HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF A SHORT OR SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRONICS THAT CAUSE THE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO SEND A SIGNAL WHEN SOMEONE CLOSES THE DOOR. I NOW HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $500 IN PAINT AND REPAIRS WHICH I AM EAGER TO HAVE FIXED, BUT NOT IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I'VE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND HE HAS TOLD ME HOW TO DEPROGRAM MY OPENER BUT I AM HOLDING OFF UNTIL I CAN HAVE AN INSURANCE AGENT OR SOMEONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON THE FIRST TIME AND THE TRUCK HAD NO ACCELERATION. THERE WAS A CODE RECORDED WHEN SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE NEXT 3 TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE IF THE RPM'S REVED UP TO 2, THEN THE TRUCK WOULD MOVE VERY SLOWLY. THE PROBLEM THEY FOUND THIS TIME WAS A FAULTY INGITION SWITCH (2 TIMES) A PROGRAM UPGRADE OF THE MOTHERBOARD OF THE TRUCK, AND THE TORK CONVERTER CLUTCH MODULE. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING DURING A SNOW/RAIN STORM.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FUEL FILLER INLET OVERFLOWS UPON TANK FILL-UP. THIS CONDITION OCCURS AT FILL-UP WHEN PUMP HANDLE IS SET ON AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, OR WHEN SHUT OFF OCCURS WHEN MANUALLY FILLING. THIS CONDITION IS REPEATABLE, AND HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHAT GAS STATION IS USED. THIS CONDITION WAS REPORTED TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THEIR FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE INLET FILLER HOSE TO THE TANK. THIS FIX WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS. CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT.
