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.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON 2003 TRAILBLAZERS WITH FUEL PUMP EQUIPPED WITH "ACCORDION" NECK SLEEVES, FUEL HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF BACK FLUSHING OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK NECK. I EXPERIENCE THIS ON MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS HERE IN CALIFORNIA WITH MULTIPLE 2003 TRAILBLAZERS. ABOUT 1 CUP OF GASOLINE FLOWS OVER THE INTAKE AND ON TO THE CAR AND GROUND CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD. THE BACK FLOW SPILL DOES NOT SEEM TO OCCUR ON EVERY TYPE OF FUEL PUMP, BUT ONLY ON THOSE EQUIPPED WITH CERTAIN SLEEVES OVER THE NOZZLE. OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO IN MY AREA ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS NOT ONLY NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THEIR LOCAL STATION BUT HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE MULTIPLE TIMES WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. *NLM

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE CAR CONSTANTLY WANDERS (ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS) CAUSING ME TO CONTINUALLY CORRECT THE CAR TO STAY WITHIN THE LINES OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 2XS AND THE PERFORMED 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE AS IT STARTED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST NOV 2002 AND CONTINUES EVERY DAY. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THIS WANDERING ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. I AGAIN DISAGREE SINCE THE ONLY REASON I HAVE TO ADJUST IS DUE TO THE WANDERING WHICH HAPPENS ON ITS OWN.*AK
