Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY SWITCHES INTO A 4 WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) AND 4WD MODES ON ITS OWN DURING NORMAL 2WD OPERATION. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE ONBOARD COMPUTER RECORDED NO SUCH OCCURRENCES, AND THEREFORE IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM. NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS NHTSA WEB SITE INDICATE THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER WHICH MERE REPLACEMENT OF THE 2WD/4WD SWITCHER MODULE WILL NOT REMEDY. THIS FACT--TAKEN ALONG WITH FREQUENTLY BURNING OUT BULBS (RUNNING LIGHTS AS WELL AS BRAKE LIGHTS)--SUGGEST THAT A POSSIBLE LARGER YET MORE FUNDAMENTAL ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM IS WHAT'S PLAGUING AN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT VEHICLE. THIS IS TRULY A SHAME. *LA
