SMALL "CLUNKING" NOISE FROM UNDER VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. "CLUNKING ALSO EVIDENT WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. ULTIMATE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE ACCELLERATING FROM A STOP. A VERY LOUD "CLUNCK" WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED BY A LOUD WIRRING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR AFTERWARDS UNTIL ABOUT 40 MPH. THE "WIRRING" NOISE CONTINUED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE DEALER'S MECHANIC OVERHAULED THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING "WORN" PARTS: SUN GEAR SHELL, SUN GEAR, 3-4 CLUTCH. VEHICLE HAD 40000 MILES AT TIME OF FAILURE.

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2002 TRAILBLAZER. NEVER USED THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE UNTIL IT HAD 39,000 MILES ON IT. AT THAT TIME, FOUND OUT WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION MODULE. THIS WAS REPLACE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO.*AK MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN TWO WHEEL DRIVE. WITHOUT WARNING, SHE FELT THE VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN. SHE GLANCED DOWN AT THE ELECTRONIC SWITCH INDICATOR FOR DRIVE CONDITION. THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS FLICKERING BETWEEN FOUR WHEEL HI AND FOUR WHEEL LO. IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER TRAFFIC AROUND, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SINCE SHE SLOWED DOWN UNDER 40 MPH DURING THIS ORDEAL. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WAS STOPPED WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. THE DRIVE INDICATOR, WITHOUT WARNING, STARTED TO SWITCH BETWEEN TWO WHEEL DRIVE, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE HI AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LOW. I DIDN'T MOVE. AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THE LIGHTS STOPPED FLASHING AND THE TWO WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR LAMP WAS ON. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE THE TURN. THE DEALER (GLENWAY CHEVROLET, CINCINNATI, OH) FINDS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEIR SUGGESTION: WE START TO REPLACE PARTS, AT OUR COST.

WHEN MAKING A TURN A SCRAPPING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT BOTH FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK

PURCHASED VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO FROM A DEALER. IT HAD 54,OOO MILES ON IT AND IT NOW HAS AROUND 60,000 MILES.MY HISBAND NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AT TIMES, WE MENTIONED IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON OUR WAY BACK FROM TOWN ONE DAY AND BEFORE THE DAY WAS OVER AND WE COULD GET BACK HOME WE HAD LOST ALL BUT 1ST AND 2ND GEARS, TOOK TO OUR MECHANIC AND TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 60,OOO MILES ON IT. OF COURSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH REPAIRING A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THIS.*AK

2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE.*MR THE LIGHT ON THE SWITCH DID LIGHT SIGNIFYING WHETHER 2WD, 4WDH OR 4WDL WAS OPERATING. THE TRANSFER CASE DID NOT SWITCH OUT OF 2WD INTO ANY OTHER OPERATING MODES. *JB

I HAVE HAD THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT REPLACED ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE BULB BURNED OUT. IT RECENTLY BURNED OUT AGAIN AND I WENT TO HAVE THE BULB REPLACED AGAIN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE SOCKET HAD BURNED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED . I QUESTIONED THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS BUT HE HAD NO CONCRETE ANSWER AS TO WHY THE SOCKET WOULD BURN OUT. HE SPECULATED THAT PERHAPS THE BULB (WHICH THEY HAD REPLACED TWICE) HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN SECURELY OR IT HAD BEEN LOOSENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING. I AM UPSET BECAUSE THIS BURNED OUT SOCKET ENDING UP COSTING $65.00 TO REPLACE. HAD THEY DONE THIS DURING ONE OF THE OTHER INSTANCES, MY WARRANTY WOULD HAVE COVERED THIS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS A DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY TRAILBLAZERS ON THE STREET WITH ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS NOT OPERATING. *AK

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I THOUGHT MY MIRRORS WERE RESET, AND THEN I WOULD LOOK TO CHANGE LANES AND FIND MY MIRROR TILTED UP TOWARDS THE SKY OR SOME ERRATIC PLACE. NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREME ANNOYANCE. WENT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY "RESET" THE MIRRORS, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION WENT IN JANUARY OF 2005. IT IS NOW JULY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEN BECAUSE I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND I AM FIGHTING WITH THEM AGAIN. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WON'T SHIF OUT OF 1ST AND IT WON'T GO IN REVERSE AND THE LOUD NOISE IS HORRIBLE.

AFTER STARTING MY 2002 4WD TRAILBLAZER (38025 MILES) IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. IT WILL GO FORWARD WITH SEVERE DIFFICULTY GETTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. MECHANIC SAYS TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. I DID NOT GET THE EXTENDED WARANTY BUT I CALLED CHEVEROLET FOR ASSISTANCE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP. CHEVY SAID TO TAKE IT DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, HAVE THEM FIX IT AND THEN THEY WOULD DECIDE IF THEY WOULD HELP. MY CHEVY DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $300 TO DIAGNOSE. IF IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION IT WOULD THEN COST $2500 FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND $900 TO PUT IT IN. CHEVY WANTS ME TO DO ALL OF THIS BEFORE THEY WILL DECIDE TO HELP OR NOT, BS. DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THE BEST HE HAD EVER SEEN CHEVY DO FOR SOMEONE THAT WAS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WAS TO PAY HALF, AND THAT HE SAID IS EXTREMELY RARE.*AK

THE FRONT DOOR CONTROLS ARE INOPERABLE!! NO WINDOWS, NO LOCKS, CAN'T USE MY REMOTE LOCK AND ALARM. THE PART IS $200 AND ONLY AVAILABLE AT A DEALERSHIP. I TRIED TO GET ONE FROM A JUNK YARD, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO TRAILBLAZER DOORS BECAUSE OF THIS VERY PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA, AND THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ALSO, AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. EVERYONE WANTS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE MANY HOURS THEY WANT TO SPEND ON MY 2002 VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS (AT $400 EACH JUST FOR PARTS), WHICH I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DO YET!!! IF THE DEALERSHIPS AND JUNKYARDS ARE AWARE OF MY DOOR PROBLEM, WHY AREN'T YOU? NOT BEING ABLE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS OR USE MY ALARM ARE DEFINITELY ISSUES IN MY BOOK!!! *NM

THEN SHE HAD A NEW ACTUATOR PUT ON IT AND A MONTH LATER, SHE HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER ACTUATOR PUT IN. ON 7-20-05 WHILE DRIVING, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH CAME ON, AND WAS SWITCHING BETWEEN 2-WHEEL DRIVE AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. VEHICLE STOPPED, AND SHE PUT IT IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE.

2002 TRAIL BLAZER 4-WD BROKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSFER CASE MODULE FOR $400.00 ( VEHICLE NOT UNDER WARRANTY) I HAVE USED THE 4WD MAYBE 4 TIMES. NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE WEB WITH SIMILAR 4WD PROBLEMS. CALLED GM AND THEY BASICALLY SAID TOO BAD AND MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL SOMEDAY IN FUTURE. ALSO, AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE "SERVICE 4WD"LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS LIT UP. WAS NOT LIT BEFORE SO I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WAS BROKE- I ONLY NOTICED IT WASNT WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT 2 WEEKS AGO.*AK

THE FRONT WINDSHEILD WIPERS ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER LT, HAVE A PROBLEM. WHEN THEY ARE SET FOR SLOW SPEED, THEY SKIP (JERK) AT THE SAME SPOT DURING THE WIPE. WHEN SET FOR NORMAL OPERATION, THEY DO NOT SKIP. I'VE CLEANED THE WINDSHEILD, AND REPLACED THE WIPER BLADES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPPER MOTOR. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I HAVE TO TURN ON THE WIPERS WHEN IT'S RAINING. IT STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT DATE WAS 11/30/04. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM? *AK

SHARP TURN STEERING LOCKS UP. PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TIGHTER AND TIGHTER DOESN'T RELEASE PRESSURE. 4 WHEEL DRIVE NOT WORKING . TAPPING SOUND IN ENGINE. THE ONLY THING THE DEALER HAS DONE IS REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP AND WITHIN 5 MILES IT WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. *JB

AUTOMATIC (PROGRAMMABLE) SIDE VIEW (EXTERIOR) MIRRORS DO NOT MAINTAIN THEIR SETTINGS. THEY MUST BE CHANGED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND SOMETIMES MOVE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. DEALER FIRST STATED THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND TOOK THE SERVICE TECH OUT TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. HE CLIMBED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SAID "GOSH, I DON'T KNOW." I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO THIS DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT MY WARRANTY. THE MIRROR ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE NUT WAS STRIPPED INSIDE THE MIRROR. NOW THAT MY CAR IS AT 34,000 AND THEY TELL ME I'VE OWNED IT FOR 3 YEARS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER THAT MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER ANY GOOD. I WOULD THINK A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE OVERRIDDEN THIS. *JB

WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN TRIED TO DRIVE. TRUCK WAS IN DRIVE AND WAS ACTING AS IF IN NEUTRAL. ALMOST WAS HIT BY A TRAILWAY BUS. TRUCK WILL NOT DRIVE IN DRIVE, OR REVERSE. ALOT OF NOISE FROM REAR END AS IF TRUCK IS ABOUT TO FALL APART. ALSO, TRUCK RATTLES WHEN DRIVING 50 MILES AN HOUR.
