2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Visibility Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED AND TURNED OFF INDEPENDENTLY. WHEN THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE LOCKS INDEPENDENTLY ENGAGED AND LOCKED THE CONTACT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THAT INCIDENT. LATER, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, INCLUDING THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR, POWER WINDOW, AND POWER LOCK SWITCHES, FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REBOOTED THE MODULE AS A TEMPORARY REPAIR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. NUMEROUS PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH CAR. WINDOWS DON'T COME DOWN, DOORS DON'T UNLOCK, AND OTHER ISSUES. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN, UNLESS IT WAS DONE MANUALLY. THERE WAS A LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE DOORS. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRING INSIDE THE DOORS. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO A SMALL EVAP LEAK AND AFTER MARKET FUEL CAP.*JB THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERATIVE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE FLICKING ON AND OFF, THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. UPDATED 04/13/15. *JB UPDATED 07/20/15. *J *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS *JS

THE WIPERS SHUT OFF BY THEMSELVES, OR WON'T TURN ON, AND SOMETIMES THEY TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

PRETTY SAID TO KNOW THAT CHEVROLET MAKES ALL THIS MAKES ALL THIS MONEY AND WONT REOPEN THEIR RECALLS WHEN THEY DIDN'T REPLACE PARTS ON VEHICLES TO BEGIN WITH MAYBE NEXT TIME SHOULD HAVE WENT FOREIGN INSTEAD OF AMERICAN FOR ALL THESE YEARS. *TR

I FEEL THAT EVEN IF YOU HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUE ONCE AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO HAPPEN THEN IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED I HAVE CONTACT GM SEVERAL TIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RATIFY MY PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND SEVERAL OTHER RECALL ISSUES THIS IS SAD I SAY WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT I AM NOT ONE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY AND TO NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM THAT THEY PUT OUT ON THE ROADS FOR US TO DRIVE SAFELY IS SHAMEFUL. *TR

2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXTERIOR MIRRORS WILL NOT HOLD THEIR ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS WILL USUALLY END UP POINTING DOWN AS I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN BE A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THEY READJUST THEM SELVES IN TRAFFIC. CAN YOU HELP THE OWNERS OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL? *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS (EQUIPPED W/RAINSENSE AUTOMATIC MOISTURE SENSITIVE WIPERS) OPERATE ERRATICALLY WHEN SET TO INTERMITTENT MODE. THEY CEASE OPERATION MID-WINDSHIELD AND OPERATE IN A VERY CHOPPY FASHION WHEN SET TO ANY SETTING BESIDES FULL-ON. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING SPORADICALLY LESS THAN 1-MONTH AGO AND NOW OCCURS WHENEVER THE WIPERS ARE TURNED ON. BRINGING THE CAR TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOMORROW MORNING (6/15/2010) TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE TO REPORT A FAILED RECALL CAMPAIGN 04V046000 ON MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER. MY TRAILBLAZER HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON 10-26-04 CONCERNING A PROBLEM OF WIPERS STOPPING MID STROKE. I DON'T DRIVE THAT CAR THAT OFTEN, AND WHEN I DO, IT IS MOST LIKELY RAINING. WELL, THE STOPPING MID STROKE IS AGAIN OCCURRING. THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE RECALL CAMPAIGN HAS ALREADY BEEN EXECUTED. IT DID NOT MATTER THAT THE RECALL CONDITION STILL EXISTS. *CN

PURCHASED NEW 2002 TRAILBLAZER LTZ WHICH HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2005. DRIVER & PASSENGER MIRRORS POSITION THEMSELVES ERRATICALLY AT EVERY IGNITION AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. A CONSTANT TWITCHING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALSO OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MIRRORS ARE NOT POSITIONED CORRECTLY ONCE DRIVING. CHEVROLET DEALER FAILED TO FIND THE FAULT AND REPROGRAMMED TWICE. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS THEY HAVE NOW IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO FIX IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, HOWEVER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. IN MARCH OF 2008, THE REAR HATCH GLASS SUDDENLY SHATTERED. THE HATCH HAD JUST BEEN IN USE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND REALIZED THAT THE GLASS SHATTERED OUTWARD ALL OVER HER YARD AND DRIVEWAY. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1,200. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF HER INSURANCE COMPANY, THE GLASS WAS REPAIRED. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR. IN DECEMBER OF 2008, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BECAUSE THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSING HARD, GRINDING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER WOULD STILL NOT WORK. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FAILURES; HOWEVER, THE WIPER STILL MALFUNCTIONED. IN JANUARY OF 2009, THE...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR RECALL DEFECT REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER DATABASE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V046000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER); THEREFORE, THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

THE MIRRORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A RECALL BETWEEN DRIVERS BUT EVERY TIME I PUT THE KEY IN THEY SHIFT TO SOME OTHER POSITION. NEVER THE RIGHT ONE, ALWAYS EXCESSIVE CLICKING AND OUT OF POSITION. *TR

2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH PROBLEMS WITH CAR RADIO CUSTOMER WANTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS**CC SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSED A LOUD POP TO COME THROUGH THE SPEAKERS. THE CAUSED THE RADIO TO SHORT OUT AND THE SPEAKERS TO BLOW. THE RADIO AND SPEAKERS HAD BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE AMPLIFIER ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT IN THE SECOND ROW LOCKED UP AS SOON AS IT WAS FASTENED INTO THE BUCKLE. WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS USED THE CONSUMER HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MODE ACTUATOR AND MODE VALVE PER TSB 04-01-38-002. THE QUARTER PANEL ON THE ROOF SEAM SEALER CRACKED AND WAS RUSTED. THE PULL DOWN STRAP ON THE REAR HATCH BROKE. THE SWAY BAR BROKE. A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PARKED THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER FOR NHTSA RECALL, # 04V201000 REGARDING SEAT BELTS. AFTER A YEAR, THE SAME ISSUE RECURRED. UPDATED 11/16/06. *JB THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SHIFTER WOULD STICK WHEN TRYING TO MOVE IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE MOONROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING, EVEN WHEN IT IS LOCKED. ITS BEEN INTO THE DEALER (3 DIFFERENT ONES) 7 TIMES AND CHEVROLET HAS TOLD ME THAT SINCE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE WINDOW POPS OPEN SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. WE DO DRIVE ON A DIRT ROAD, BUT ITS NOTHING UNUSUALLY ROUGH. MY WIFE HAS STARTED HAVING MIGRAINE HEADACHES, AND THEY STARTED A FEW WEEKS AFTER WE BOUGHT THIS CAR. WE HAVE THE OPINION OF SEVERAL DOCTORS THAT SAY THESE HEADACHES COULD BE CAUSED BY THE EXHAUST THAT FILLS THE CAR WHEN THE WINDOW POPS OPEN. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY COULD MAKE THE WINDOW SO IT DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL, BUT SINCE ITS A LEASE, THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR THAT WOULD AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS TO...
