POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, AND IT'S ABOUT 86,000 MILES ON IT. AT ABOUT 100,000 MY TRANSMISSION WENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO OWNED THIS SAME VEHICLE WHO HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS PIECE THAT IS USED IN THE TRANSMISSION CALLED THE SUN SHIELD HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST THAT FIXED MY VEHICLE TOLD ME THAT THIS SUN SHIELD IS A FAULTY, AND A LOT OF GM, AND CHEVY OWNERS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND SUDDENLY FELT THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I AM JUST HAPPY THAT I PULLED OVER WHEN I DID, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT DAY. I WAS VERY SCARED, BECAUSE I WAS ALONE IN THIS CAR, AND ALSO I DID NOT WANT TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN I WAS PULLING OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE GM DEALER, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. EVEN WHEN I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENDED, AND THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THE MANY RECALLS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS. I THEN HAD TO FIX THIS TRUCK MYSELF, AND IT COST ME 2,300. THE SUN SHIELD WAS REPLACED BY SOMETHING CALLED THE BEAST WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD BE VERY VERY DURABLE UNLIKE THE GM SUN SHIELD PART. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE GAS TANK LEAKED FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK WHERE THE GAS ENTERED. THERE WAS NO WAY THIS COULD OCCUR FROM WEAR AND TEAR. THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE WORKMANSHIP, PRODUCT LIABILITY. IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR REPAIRS.*AK

2002 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER EXT ON 3/3/07 - WHILE DRIVING TRUCK ON HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING. RESTARTED TRUCK AND PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN. MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WHICH INDICATED NO OIL PRESSURE. TRUCK WAS THEN TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP. OUR MECHANIC STATED THAT IT NEED A NEW OIL PUMP, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE- THIS WAS TOO BIG A JOB FOR HIS STATION. MY HUSBAND CALLED GENERAL MOTORS, SPOKE TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE, WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO COST SHARING WITH US THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN TO A GM AUTHORIZED REPAIR DEALER. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THAT SAME REP - WE WERE INFORMED BY THE CHEVY DEALER THAT WE NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS(635.00) OR THEY WOULD CHARGE US STORAGE FEES. STILL NO CONTACT FROM GM REP - OUR TRUCK IS STILL NOT FIXED AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET RESPONSE FROM GM - OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS SAME TRUCK HAVE BEEN AT OUR EXPENSE: REPLACED REAR WINDOW MOTORS FOR WINDOW, AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, REAR TAIL LIGHTS (TWICE) DUE TO RECALL AND LIGHTS NOT WORKING - SEAT ADJUSTMENT SWITCHES PANEL (TWICE) NOW THIS EXPENSE WHICH WILL COST OVER 4372.00 IF NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE TO TRUCK BY OIL PRESSURE NOT WORKING. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 62,509 MILEAGE I PARKED THE VEHICLE AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE. THE VEHICLE LEAKED A LARGE PUDDLE OF FUEL ON HIS NEWLY SEALED DRIVEWAY. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO SERVICE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE INLET AND/OR OUTLET TUBES ON TOP OF THE FUEL SENDER WERE CORRODED AND LEAKING FUEL. THIS WAS A PREMATURE FAILURE SINCE THE DESIGN SHOULD HAVE BEEN VALIDATED TO 100,000 MILES +.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS, SUSPENSION
HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR TROUBLE WITH THE FRONT END. HAD IT CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE DEALER AND AT A LOCAL MECHANICS SHOP AND THE BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. EVEN THE THE WARRANTY WAS FINISHED, THE DEALER DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THIS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE NOISE ON THE FRONT END, BUT IT IS STILL THERE!! ALSO YESTERDAY, APRIL 24, 2007, I HAD TO HAVE THE FAN CLUTCH REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, I SHOULD CHECK OUT THE GAS TANK FOR ANY CRACKS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST GM PRODUCT!!!! IT SPENDS MORE TIME BEING FIXED THEN ON THE ROAD. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BURNING OUT, BUT THAT HAS SINCE BEEN FIXED! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
APRIL 16, 2007 LEFT REAR DOOR OF 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT FAILED TO LATCH. IF CHILD PASSENGER HAD NOT NOTICED THE DOOR MAY HAVE OPENED DURING DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO LOCAL MECHANIC 2 BLOCKS AWAY TO MINIMIZE DRIVE TIME WITH UNLATCHED DOOR. LOCAL MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST APPROX $155. OWNER SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED SAFETY RECALL 05077. OWNER HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALER (DEPAULA CHEVROLET, ALBANY NY) IN JULY 2006 AND MINIMAL RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE DATED 7/17/06 SEALS TO BOTH DOORS WERE INSTALLED. THE INVOICE DOES NOT MENTION IF DOOR LATCHES WERE CLEANED AND LUBRICATED OR THAT LATCHES WERE REPLACED. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT THE REPAIR THAT WAS DONE WAS ADEQUATE TO PREVENT CORROSION WHICH LEAD TO ULTIMATE FAILURE OF THE LATCH. ON APRIL 19, 2007 3:00 PM OWNER SHOWED DEPAULA SERVICE MANAGER THE FAILED PART. MANAGER SAID THE DEALER COULD DO NOTHING AND REFERRED OWNER TO GM AND PROVIDED 800 NUMBER. APRIL 19, 2007 4:00 PM OWNER CALLED GM RESULTING IN GM REFUSING TO REIMBURSE OWNER FOR REPAIR BECAUSE OWNER DID NOT GO TO AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIR. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT THE OWNER DID NOT KNOW THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY DAMAGE RELATED TO RECALL. OWNER DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE TO TRAVEL ANY SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE, ESPECIALLY WITH A CHILD PASSENGER, WHICH IS WHY THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. OWNER EXPLAINED THAT THE DEALER WAS 20 MILES FROM WHERE INCIDENT OCCURRED AND IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SAFE TO TRAVEL THAT FAR. GM SUGGESTED THAT OWNER SHOULD HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER, BUT OWNER HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT THE FAULTY LATCH WAS A RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER. IN ADDITION TO THE REPAIR COST THE OWNER IS CONCERNED THAT THE REMAINING DOOR LATCH MAY ALSO BE COMPROMISED AND FAIL, PUTTING PASSENGERS IN DANGER OF INJURY. PHOTOS OF FAILED PART ARE AVAILABLE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. I ONLY HAD A 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, NO REVERSE, DRIVE, OR 3RD GEAR AT ALL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, SOME WERE NEAR SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. PUBLIC CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS (DUE TO HUNDREDS OF PHONE CALL COMPLAINTS) BUT REFUSES TO RECALL TRANSMISSIONS UNTIL NHTSA FORCES THEM TO. GM HAS BEEN OFFERING A 30% REBATE ON THE REPAIR COSTS, WHICH EXCEEDED $2,000.00 I HAVEN'T YET SPOKEN TO GM, BUT AM SURE TO GET THE "RUN AROUND". I HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TODAY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
1. OTHER THAN SEVERAL RECALLS FOR A FAULTY TAIL LIGHT, WHICH STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ON 2002 TRAILBLAZER DID NOT HAVE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2005.*AK 1. WHILE DRIVING HOME ON ABOUT THE EVENING OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2005 MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 47,427 MILES SUDDENLY GROANED LOUDLY AND RAPIDLY DECELERATED APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE FROM MY HOUSE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AT A SPEED OF ABOUT FIVE MPH. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC WHO SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH HE WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT MY DEALER AS HE FELT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE HIGH ENOUGH MILEAGE TO WARRANT TRANMISSION FAILURE. I CONTACTED TILLERY CHEVROLET IN MORIARTY, NM WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND SPOKE WITH MR. GLEN TILLERY. HE ASKED IF I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE. UPON HEARING I DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE MR. TILLERY GAVE ME THE APPROXIMATE PRICE FOR HIS DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I FELT HIS PRICE WAS HIGH AND THE DEALERSHIP IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES FROM MY HOUSE WHICH WAS TOO FAR TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN ITS CONDITION. I RECEIVED RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND TOOK MY TRAILBLAZER TO BUDGET TRANSMISSION IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM. BUDGET LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION AND STATED IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH I AUTHORIZED. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME MY TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY SUNSHELL. THE PRICE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS $1,813.68 3. THE REPAIRS INCLUDED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK
REAR HATCH AND GLASS GATE BINDING AND WON'T OPEN WITHOUT HITTING THE TOP BODY PANEL AND ROOF. THIS STARTED WAY BACK WHEN THE GLASS HATCH JUST POPS UP BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND WE JUST STOP AND JUST CLOSE IT. WE REALLY DID NOT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT EVEN IF IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING ONCE IN A WHILE, SO NOW THE HATCH WON'T OPEN AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT,THEY SAID SOMETHING WAS DONE TO IT THAT'S WHY ,AND WHY IT TOOK SO LONG TO COMPLAIN AND WHY IT JUST APPEARED NOW , YES THE GLASS POPS OFF ONCE IN A WHILE SO IT DID NOT WARRANT TO WASTE MY TIME TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER, BUT NOW THAT IT BINDS IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, EVERYTHING IN THERE IS STILL ORIGINAL AS I GOT IT FROM THE DEALER EVEN THE GLASS SECURITY ETCHING AND THEY STILL ACCUSES US OF PROBABLY SOMETHING WAS DONE TO IT. I ASSURE YOU THAT IT'S THE ORIGINAL AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO IT NOR ANY ACCIDENT TO IT. WHEN THEY REMOVED THE SCREWS I NOTICED THAT THE CLIPS HOLDING THE UPPER PLASTIC PANEL POPS OFF AND DOES NOT SEEM TO FIT AND BOWS OUT OF SHAPE , THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL WHERE ONE SCEW S IT TO HOLD THE PANEL POPPED, I NOTICED THAT THE 2 MAIN SUPPORTS HOLDING THE WHOLE LATCH/ GATE IS NOT LEVEL AND BOTH THE INNER SIDES SEEMS TO BE LOWER THAN THE OUTSIDE SO THE CLIPS WON'T CATCH, THEY CALLED FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR THE TOP PANEL BUT WAS DENIED, I THINK ITS THE MAIN ROOF SUPPORT HOLDING THIS WHOLE THING THAT'S BENT OUT OF SHAPE,ITS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE HEAVY REAR GATE. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY $700+ TO REPAIR IT.*AK
