NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL COMPLETELY, AND THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH. LOL, THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WE ALMOST REARENDED ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. NO WONDER THAT SEMI TRUCK ALMOST KILLED US. ANYONE EVER DRIVE IN ST. LOUIS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ALMOST GET KILLED, AND THEN DISCOVER THAT YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS?GEE, VEHICLES HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS FOR A REASON, WHO KNEW? NOW THE WARANTY IS UP BY 3000 MI AND I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL. THAT'S FUNNY HUH? ANYONE ORGANIZING A LAW SUIT? COUNT ME IN. *AK

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE), EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 11-MONTH OLD 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS HAD MULTIPLE QUALITY PROBLEMS, TWICE AFFECTING MY SAFETY. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. THE 4WD HAS BECOME INOPERABLE NUMEROUS TIMES, ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AT NIGHT THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD IN ORDER TO SEE. AFTER ONE DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE 4WD PROBLEM, ANOTHER DEALER REPLACED MY IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THE TECHNICIAN SAID I HAD NO POWER AT ALL GOING TO THE "REAR GRID." I CONTINUE TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, INCLUDING NEAR STALLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND ONGOING 4WD FAILURES. THE CAR ALSO HAS VERY JERKY MOTION WHEN IN 4WD REVERSE, OF COURSE, WHEN THE 4WD IS WORKING AT ALL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL AND NOW I SEE THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. *LA
