2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I WANT GM TO BE LOOKING INTO A PROBLEM THEY HAVE ABOUT THERE TRAILBLAZERS. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL AND STALLING. I HAVE HAD 3 COMPUTER BRAINS PUT IN, AND THE ELECTRICAL DONE ONCE. YET THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE!! IN THE ELECTRICAL THE GAUGES WOULD FREAK OUT, AND EVEN TOOK OUT THE FUEL SENSOR. THEN I HAD A SHOCK WHEN YOU TOUCH THE GEAR SHIFT, I WAS TOLD TO QUIT DRAGGING MY FEET ON THAT ONE. THEN IT WENT TO THE CAR STALLING OR NOT EVEN STARTING AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP YET TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. KNOW THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE GETTING REPAIRS, OR IT LOOKED OUT. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR, AND DO NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN FOR LONG DISTANCES AT ALL. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS SINCE MY WARRANTY WENT OUT, AND IT PROCEEDS TO ONLY GET WORSE. AND I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, SINCE THE PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER THE TIME LINE FOR THE LEMON LAW WAS UP (BOUGHT AS A PREVIOUSLY OWNED VEHICLE.) OR DEALER TRADE BACK! *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED HER IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SENSOR. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME.*AK

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A LOUD VIBRATION FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IS STILL NOT FIXED. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE. STILL DOES IT!!! AROUND THE SAME TIME MY TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE. STILL DOES IT!!! NOW I AM FEELING A LOT OF VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I TURN. TALKED TO OTHER TB OWNERS AND I THINKING I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE STRUTS. WHAT NEXT!! *NM

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS DIM VERY LOW TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALSO GO VERY LOW. VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP IN APRIL. TECH SAYS CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CAR TAKEN IN AGAIN THIS TIME CD PLAYER WILL STOP PLAYING IF VOLUME IS TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR MORE THAT 2 MINS. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT PLAY AGAIN YOU HAVE TO EJECT CD AND REINSERT. RADIO WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ORDERED NEVER RECEIVED IT. CAR TAKEN IN AGAIN THIS TIME DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOUND PROBLEM WITH RADIO AND IT WAS REPLACED ASKED FOR THEM TO CHECK HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. THEY ALSO CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP CD PLAYERS STOPS PLAY AGAIN. SEPT 28, 2005 WHILE AT BANK DRIVE THROUGH CAR STALLS OUT, ABLE TO RESTART CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STALLING OUT, HEADLIGHTS, AND CD PLAYER. AFTER HAVING MY CAR THERE A WEEK AND 3 DAYS THERE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE STALLING OUT WAS BECAUSE THE WAS CARBON BUILD UP IN THROTTLE BODY THIS WAS CLEANED OUT. MY CAR HAS 19,000 MILES AND IS A YEAR OLD I DON;T BELIEVE THIS IS THE PROBLEM. WHILE THERE A NEW CD PLAYER WAS PUT IN, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONE THAT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WAS A REFURBISHED ONE AND IT DIDN'T SURPRISE THEM THAT IT DIDN'T WORK. THE HEADLIGHTS WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE CRAZY AT FIRST AND THEN AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WHICH MEANS WE HAVE A 2ND AIR INTAKE ON IT THAT CAUSES THE ALTERNATOR TO DRAIN CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO DIM. GM HAS TOLD US THIS IS NORMAL!!!!!! I AM SORRY I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY FAMILY LIVES ON THE LINE BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BUY A NEW CAR IN VIRGINIA THAT WAS MADE IN CALIFORNIA. I LEAVE IN A RURAL AREA NOT THE CITY SO IF I LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS THEN THAT MEANS I CAN'T SEE. THIS DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM. WE DO HAVE A MEETING IN NOV WITH THE NORTHERN AREA MANAGER. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OPERATION OF A CAR NOR SHOULD IT BE DESIGNED TO DO THIS. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. . WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN, BUT WILL NOT STOP. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ,INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE WEATHER CONDITION HAS NO IMPACT ON THE BRAKING CAPABILITY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG THEN THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *AK

I HAVE 2004 TRAILBLAZER AND I HAVE HAD THE GAS LINE REPLACED AND ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIME DUE TO UNABLE TO FILL UP WITH GAS AND I AGAIN TOOK IT BACK NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK . THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND THE WARRANTY HAS JUST WENT OUT AND I AM STILL HAVING THESE PROBLEMS IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN IT WONT LET YOU FILL IT UP ANY MORE AND I HAVE TO CONTINUE TA TAKE IT IN. *NM

OUR FAMILY WAS DRIVING FROM COLUMBUS, OHIO TO LOUISVILLE, KY. WE HAD JUST CROSSED THE STATE LINE GOING UP I-75 HILL NEAR FLORANCE. WHEN MY WIFE SAID SHE SEEN SMOKE OUT HER SIDE MIRROR. I LOOKED IN REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SEEN A LITTLE MYSELF. I WAS IN FAST LANE RUNNING SPEED LIMIT, ALL GAUGES SHOWED ALL WAS OK. I PUT TURN SIGNAL ON TO BEGIN FINDING A PLACE TO STOP. OTHER CARS NEAR US BEGAN BLOWING HORNS AND POINTING AT FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF CAR. ONCE WE GOT PULLED OFF SIDE OF ROAD, WE TURNED VEHICLE OFF. I PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE OF OUR 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FIRE WAS ALREADY FLAMING OUT THE FRONT OF THE HOOD WHERE YOU COULD NOT TOUCH IT TO OPEN THE HOOD UP. FLAMES WERE ALSO VERY BAD ON THE FRONT WHEEL AREA. MY FAMILY EXITED THE VEHICLE AND GOT SAFELY AWAY. IT IS NOW BEING INVESTIGATED BY GM. WAS SUPPOSE TO HEAR A UPDATE BY AUGUST 31ST ON INVESTIGATION. THEY MOVED DATE TO SEPTEMBER 2 WITH NO RESPONSE. I CONTACTED THEM ON SEPTEMBER 6 AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWAITING PICTURES OF VEHICLE TO BE REVIEWED. THEY SAID THEY WOULD UPDATE ME ON SEPTEMBER 7. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAD JUST TURNED 20K MILES. *NM

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER ON AN ICY, SLIPPERY ROAD AT 25 -30 MILES PER HOUR, (THE SPEED LIMIT IS 30, IT WAS THE STREET WE LIVE ON) WHEN SHE LOST CONTROL, HIT A TREE AND TOTALED ($22,000.00) THE VEHICLE. THE OFFICER AND I WALKED THE PATH IN THE STREET AND COULD NOT FIND ANY SIGNS OF SKIDDING OR BRAKING, THERE FORE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE NOW THAT THERE WAS A BRAKING FAILURE. UP UNTIL NOW, WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE BRAKES FAILING DO TO CORROSION FROM ROAD SALT, I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT IN POOR ROAD CONDITIONS. WHEN I FIRST READ THE REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATION I COULDN'T BELIVE IT WAS THE SAME SCENARIO AS HER ACCIDENT. POOR ROAD CONDITIONS, THEREFORE POSSIBLE SALT BUILDUP, A SLOW SPEED AND INABILITY TO STOP. I AM SO GRATEFULL THAT SHE WALKED AWAY WITHOUT A SCRATCH, ALSO CONSIDERING THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT END WAS TOTALED. I AM SURE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE IDENTIFIED FOR THOSE LIVING IN COLDER, NORTHERN STATES.
