FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
WHILE FUELING VERHICLE, FUEL ALWAYS SPILLS OVER JUST BEFORE OR AFTER AUTO-SHUTOFF OF GAS PUMP. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH I'M CAREFUL THAT IT'S COMING CLOSE TO A FULL TANK AND PREPARE FOR THE SPILLAGE. TODAY IT HAPPENED AT A PUMP WHERE THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE WAS OF A NON-ACCORDIAN TYPE BOOT. I'VE SPOKEN WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND DEALERS ARE TELLING THEM TO BE MORE CAREFUL WHEN RE-FUELING. WHAT WILL IT TAKE GM TO ADMIT THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM? THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY ISSUES WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. YOU'D THINK FOR WHAT THEY COST THAT THEY'D BE BUILT BETTER.*AK

#10028941July 23, 2003
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
POOR PERFORMANCE FROM ENGINE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT PERFORM IN A NORMAL MANNER WHILE DRIVING. INTERMITTENT NO START PROBLEMS, EXTREMELY POOR FUEL ECONOMY ST TIMES, EXCESSIVE NOISE USUALLY AT START UP. VERY ROUGH IDLE AT TIMES AND VERY POOR ACCELERATION AT TIMES. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CROWLEY BUICK/OLDS DURING AN OIL CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. GM HAS OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER I WAS TOLD A YEAR AGO THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING "NORMALLY" BY A GM FACTORY REP WHO LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE. FOR THE PAST YEAR MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH MY 2 BOYS THAT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACT GM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THREE TIMES THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. OTHER THAN "THANK YOU" EMAILS I HAVE YET TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY AT GM.

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
MY SERVICE 4WD LIGHT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE JANUARY 2003. MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST ALL OF JULY. CHEVY HAS REFUSED TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE STATING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO "FIX" IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT I AM FIGHTING THIS. ADDITIONALLY, UPON MY RETURN FROM A THREE WEEK VACATION IN MARCH, I FOUND MY TRAILBLAZER COMPLETELY DEAD. CHEVY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.
