SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AUGUST 30, 2002 I HAVE HAD TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT ITEMS. I HAVE HAD BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS GONE OUT, THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP WENT OUT, THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS GONE OUT TWICE(FOUR MONTHS APART), THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW IS INOPERABLE(WE HAVE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED FOR ALMOST A MONTH NOW WITH NO SUCCESS) AND THE ENGINE COOLING FAN WAS WARPED AND THE FAN CLUTCH MALFUNCTIONED. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVEN'T JUST RECALLED THE WHOLE VEHICLE. LUCKILY WE HAVE THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY STILL IN AFFECT BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS UP AND THE SAME PROBLEMS KEEP RECURRING? *LA

TIRES
I HAVE 4 (245-70-16) BF GOODRICH OPEN TRAIL T/A TIRES THAT CAME ORIGINAL ON MY NEW 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS 4WD. I HAVE 20,649 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE 5/32 TREAD LEFT, I HAVE BELTS BROKEN IN THE SIDEWALL, CRACKS IN BETWEEN THE TREAD. ALTHOUGH 5/32 TREAD IS "ACCEPTABLE" ACCORDING TO B F GOODRICH I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED SLIDING IN WET CONDITIONS AS OPPOSED TO WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THE TREAD DEPTH WAS MORE ABUNDANT. ACCORDING TO B F GOODRICH, THESE TIRES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO REPLACEMENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THEIR WARRANTY. IT'S AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT TO KEEP DRIVING ON THESE TIRES, BUT IF I LISTEN TO THEM AND ACCEPT THEIR POSITION THAT THESE TIRES ARE SAFE, I WILL BE RISKING THE LIVES OF MYSELF, MY WIFE, AND MY PASSENGERS. I HOPE THIS ORGANIZATION WILL INVESTIGATE THIS TIRE AND I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE THEM PULLED FROM MY VEHICLE AND SHIPPED TO YOU FOR EXAMINATION. *JB

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER TWICE NOW. HAVING ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IF IT WASN'T FOR OTHER DRIVERS TELLING ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT, I'M SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT BY NOW. ALSO AT 41,000 MILES NOW THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT HAS COME ON AS WELL. *LA

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED MY CAR OVER, AND I WAS INSIDE THE CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT GASOLINE WAS POURING OUT FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR. A CLIP FAILURE THAT LEFT MY TRUCK SITTING IN A GASOLINE PIPE.
