ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SINCE GETTING MY CAR ABOUT 4 MOS AGO, THE STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT & INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, AND IT PUT THE BRAKE ON BY ITS SELF, THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS, IT SCARED ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE ALMOST STOPPED ME, IT HAS DONE THIS 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK SINCE, I TALKED TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPT., AND THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS LONG AS I WAS CAREFUL, UNTIL I COULD GET IT CHECKED OUT, I DIDN'T HAVE $80 AN HR., TO DO THAT. ON 04/28/14, ABOUT 10PM WHILE DRIVING ON WET ROAD, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE, IT PUT THE BRAKE ON BY ITS SELF, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO A SKID, IT WENT OFF THE ROAD AND ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES, ITS A TOTAL LOSS, THANK GOD NO ONE GOT HURT. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF EQUIPMENT ON VEHICLES THAT DOES THIS KIND OF THING. I HOPE THEY WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FREQUENTLY BUT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS DURATION. I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EVENT ABOUT 6 TIMES BEFORE CONTACTING GM DIRECTLY. I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WHICH TURN ON WHEN DARKNESS IS DETECTED. THIS AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION CANNOT BE OVERRIDDEN WITH MANUAL CONTROLS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER AND MANUALLY TURN THE HEADLIGHTS BACK ON WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION AND RESTART THE ENGINE WITHOUT RESOLUTION. NOTHING I COULD DO WOULD MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS TURN BACK ON. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AND WILL EVENTUALLY TURN BACK ON BUT THIS IS COMPLETELY RANDOM, SOMETIMES TAKING A FEW MINUTES OR MAYBE UP TO 20 MINUTES. A CERTIFIED GM SERVICE CENTER CLAIMED THE ISSUE TO BE WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR REPLACEMENT. I ELECTED TO NOT HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. I INSTEAD STARTED SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION. I TURNED TO THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE SINCE AT LEAST 2002 CONTINUING UNTIL THE LATE 2000'S. GM INFORMED ME OVER THE PHONE THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. THE CERTIFIED GM SERVICE CENTER CLAIMED THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL TELL YOU A DIFFERENT STORY. I ULTIMATELY FOLLOWED THE DIRECTION OF A YOUTUBE VIDEO WHICH DIRECTED ME TO REPLACE A RELAY LOCATED ON THE VEHICLE'S FUSE PLATE. THE COST OF THE PART WAS APPROXIMATELY $30. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING AGAIN. IN MY OPINION GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART AND NOT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. VERY SCARY AT NIGHT, I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THEY DO COME BACK ON AFTER A COOL DOWN PERIOD. REPLACED THE RELAY, BUT CONTINUES TO JUST TURN OFF AT TIMES. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE THROUGHWAY, AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. AS I WAS DRIFTING TO A STOP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT STARTED UP. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE AGAIN SHUT OFF, BUT STARED UP AGAIN AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. OFTEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. WITH IN THE LAST FEW HUNDRED MILES ON A COUNTRY ROAD, I WAS TURNING SLIGHTLY LEFT, AND GENTLY PUSHED THE BRAKES. THE WHOLE VEHICLE VIBRATED, AND I COULD FEEL IT ESPECIALLY IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WENT A LITTLE FARTHER AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. EACH TIME THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I SHUT THE CAR, OFF AND RE-STARTED IT AGAIN. IT WAS FINE. I'VE GONE TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. I WAS TOLD IF IT WAS NOT DOING THE SITUATION, AT THAT TIME, THEY COULD ONLY PUT IN ON THE COMPUTER. I ASK FOR THE $100.00, WHAT THAT WOULD SHOW. I WAS TOLD NOTHING. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THAT I STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND START TO GO, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO, THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT COMES ON AND MESSAGE SAYS OIL PRESSURE LOW AND IT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACT UP AND DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW, SOMETIMES CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF OR GO INTO SHUT DOWN MODE. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THIS AND SEEN THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS. I SPOKE WITH A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRAILBLAZER AND SAID ITS EITHER FAULTY WIRING OR OIL SENDING UNIT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE HAPPEN AND COULD (AND PROBABLY HAS) CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMEONE TO BE STRANDED. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, THERE IS NO WAY ITS JUST A COINCIDENCE. WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR GM. I HOPE THIS ISSUE IS THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND SOMETHING IS DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WIPERS STARTED ACTING UNPREDICTABLE, WITH THE WASHER FLUID SPRAYING ALL OVER. YOU COULD NOT CONTROL WHEN THE WIPERS WOULD TURN ON OR OFF, THE SPEED THEY WOULD GO, AND THE WASHER FLUID WOULD SPRAY AT RANDOM TIMES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE TRAILBLAZER FOR THE 02-03 MODELS -HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE RESOLVED IN ANY SATISFACTORY WAY. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WOULD SATISFY THAT INQUIRY. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THERE HAS BEEN A SERVICE ADVISORY ISSUED (SERVICE BULLETIN). I HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE WIPER MOTOR MODULE ASSEMBLY REPLACED FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AS THE EARLIER RECALLED WIPER ASSEMBLY. CHEV/GM SEEMS TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM GIVEN THE HISTORY. THEY ARE AT LEAST MAKING MONEY FROM ME. THIS IS CLEARLY A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAS BEEN RECALLED PREVIOUSLY. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTION A VEHICLE TRAVELING PERPENDICULAR TO US FAILED TO STOP AT STOP SIGN. THIS VEHICLE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AND WE "T-BONED" THE VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE SUSTAINED A DIRECT HIT ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AFTER THE INITIAL COLLISION OUR VEHICLE REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE THAT FAILED TO STOP AND BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES WERE DRIVEN DIRECTLY INTO A TREE, THUS INCURRING ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ( MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THE INITIAL COLLISION W/ THE OTHER CAR ) AND THE AIR BAGS STILL DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE IN THE FRONT SEATS AND 2 PEOPLE IN REAR SEATS. ALL SUSTAINED INJURIES AND NEEDED OR STILL REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE TWO PASSENGERS ON THE OTHER VEHICLE WERE FATALLY INJURED. THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY INDICATION OF AIR BAG FAILURE AND NEVER ANY WARNING "IDIOT" LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD EVER AT ANY TIME INDICATION ANY ISSUES W/ AIR BAG FUNCTIONALITY. WITH RECENT EVENTS SHOWING FAILURE OF GM AIR BAGS, I BELIEVE THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATION OF THIS FAILURE WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. SAFETY FEATURES ARE SOMETIMES TAKEN FOR GRANTED IN VEHICLES, BUT WHEN NEEDED TO PERFORM, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO PERFORM AS ENGINEERED. THESE SAFETY FEATURES ARE FACTORED INTO THE DECISION MAKING OF VEHICLE PURCHASES AND ARE EXPECTED TO PERFORM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION / SUN SHIELD FAILURE: LEAVING WORK, I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO A MAJOR ROAD. I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH AND HEARD A TREMENDOUS LOUD NOISE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE ON IT'S OWN. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING MADE OF STEEL THAT WAS IN THE ROADWAY, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS RUNNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I CALLED A MECHANIC FRIEND WHO ADVISED ME THAT 2 OF THE 4 GEARS ARE WORKING. IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE IS A SUN SHIELD / SUN SHELL PROBLEM WITH THESE TRAILBLAZERS (AND ENVOYS, ETC) AND I REALLY THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, I AM AFRAID OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS IN GARAGE WARMING UP ON A COLD DAY. AFTER ABOUT 1 MIN. IT STOPPED IDLING. I WENT OUT TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE KEY WAS IN OFF POSITION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND LET IT IDLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MIN. I THEN BACKED OUT OF GARAGE AND PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. MY SPEED AT THE TURN WAS 15 MPH. AFTER I MADE THE TURN, THE ENGINE QUIT. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO A SAFE STOP. THE KEY AGAIN WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. I RETRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID TO HAVE IT TOWED. I TRIED ONE MORE TIME AND IT STARTED. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES TO HIS SHOP AND WHEN I PULLED UP IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE DOORS, THE ENGINE QUIT. WE COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED. HE PLACED THE HAND HELD COMPUTER ANALYZER AND DETERMINED IT WAS IGNITION SWITCH WHICH HE REPLACED. COST WITH LABOR WAS $147.00. *TR

I WAS ON A TRIP WHEN I HAD STOPPED TO FUEL UP MY TANK BECAUSE IT WAD CLOSE TO EMPTY SO ONCE I FUELED IT UP TO FULL AND TURNED MY CAR BACK ON FOR A SECOND IT SHOWED FULL TANK THEN JUST STROLLED TO EMPTY AND AFTER FEE MINUTES WENT BACK TO FULL.

BUT BEFORE THIS ALL HAPPENED MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. ITS FRUSTRATING AND I'VE BEEN LEFT WITHOUT GAS ON MIDDLE OF ROAD A FEW TIMES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
I JUST WANT TO GET SOME INFORMATION OUT THERE ON MY EXPERIENCE: BATTERY REPLACEMENT SEEM WAYS TOO OFTEN 8/2008, 10/2010, 9/2013 - AND THERE IS NO NOTICE UNTIL YOU CANNOT START IT ONE DAY. FIRST THING TO GO WAS THE IDLE PULLEY. I HAVE HAD THE WATER PUMP/THERMOSTAT/BELTS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES 50K, 60K, 87K. HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES EACH. I HAVE HAD TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BLOCK PLATE MULTIPLE TIMES OR THE TB WILL STALL WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED OR HEAT/AC ON. I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY NON-OEM PARTS WHICH I NEVER REPLACED (I PURCHASED USED W/17K MILES) AND NOTHING SHOWED UP ON CAR FAX OR OTHER REPORTS ABOUT ACCIDENTS OR REPAIRS. I HAD THE GAS GUAGE/TANK/FLOAT REPAIRED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY STILL AND THEN A YEAR LATER IT BROKE AGAIN, AND I AM STILL RIDING WITH IT BROKEN (AT LEAST THE LAST 5 YEARS), WHICH OF COURSE KEEPS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NEARLY ALL THE TIME. I JUST LOCATED THE NOTICE THAT GM IS NOW DOING 100% OF THE REPAIR AND I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED AS I WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. I FILL EVERY 200 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER MINOR ISSUES SUCH AS INTERIOR LIGHTS GOING OUT, BOTH OF THE FRONT SEATS HAVE DETACHED FROM THE SIDE MOLDING (ONLY 1 LITTLE SCREW HOLDS THEM IN), THE REAR WASHER HAS NOT WORKED IN ABOUT 6 YEARS. I ALSO HAVE LOUD NOISES COMING OUT OF THE TIRES/WHEELS AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE AN EXACT CAUSE, BUT IT'S NOT THE BRAKES OR ROTORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I CURRENTLY HAVE UNDER 89K MILES. I AM WAITING FOR THE DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO GO NEXT AS THAT SEEMS LIKE WHAT IS NEXT ON THE LIST OF TB ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ACCELERATION & POWER. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THIS POINT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A VERY LOW SPEED THE REMAINING QUARTER OF A MILE INTO MY WORK PLACE PARKING LOT. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND CAME TO A STOP MY CAR ACCELERATED AND ALMOST HIT A WALL. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IS A THROTTLE BODY ERROR, AND THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. AND, I SEE ALL KINDS OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR
