TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAD IT REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V527000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS). FOUR YEARS LATER, TWO OF THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRED 30,000 MILES LATER, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATE INCONSISTENTLY. WE REPLACE BULBS AND THEN THEY STILL DON'T WORK OR WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE ARE NOT SURE IF THE BULBS ARE PREMATURELY BURNING OUT OR IF THE BRAKE LIGHT COMPONENT IS FAULTY. AT TIMES, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. DANGEROUS!*AK

AIR CONDITIONER EMITS A FOUL SMELL! DEALER STATES IT IS A AIR BORN BATERIA THAT THEY CAN NOT RESOLVE. MY CHOICES ARE SPRAY VENTS WITH LYSOL FREQUENTLY, GET MONTHLY CHEMICAL TREATMENTS, OR SUFFER FROM THE BACTERIA THAT IS MAKING US ILL. BUT OF COURSE AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MONTHLY CHEMICAL TREATMENTS AT $100 EACH VISIT. DEALER AND CHEVY SAYS THEY CAN NOT FIX.*AK

MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER WILL NOT CRANK UP ALL THE TIME. IT WILL NOT EVEN TURNOVER SOMETIMES OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN OVER AND STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS. I BELEIVE GM IS WAITING FOR THE WARRENTY TO EXPIRE. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY IGNITION SYSTEM AND FUEL SYSTEM. IT STILL HAS PROBLEMS WITH INTERMITTENT CRANKING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IS WHY MY IGNITION SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. GM DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

WE'VE NOTICED A VIBRATING SOUND AFTER 2-5 MINUTES FROM STARTING OUR '03 BLAZER FROM COLD START. IT TENDS TO INCREASE AFTER WE'VE DRIVEN IT FOR A WHILE. I'VE NOTICED WHILE I'M WAITING TO PICK MY WIFE UP THAT THIS IRRITATING SOUND AND VIBRATION INTENSIFIES. WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S NOT NORMAL. FTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO OUR DEALER AND PROVIDING THEM WITH THE BELOW NHTSA BULLETIN, WE HOPED TO GET OUR VEHILCLE FIXED.*AK NHTSA NO: 282674 BULLETIN NO: 061903 BULLETIN DATE: JUNE 2003 UNUSUAL VIBRATION FELT AT IDLE OR AT VERY LOW RPM DURING PARKING LOT MANUEVERS. ALSO RESIDENCE NOISE ACCOMPANYING THE VIBRATION. GMS ENGINEERING DEPT AT THE DEALER RETURNED OUR T-BLAZER INFORMING US THAT IT IS NORMAL. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY DID A THOROUGH JOB IN LOCATING & FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINEERING DEPT RECOMMENDED THE SERVICE DEPT TEST AN '04 TRAILBLAZER. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL LIKE THE '03. BEFORE PICKING UP MY VEHICLE, I TESTED THE WARMED UP '04 T-BLAZER & DIDN'T HEAR THE SAME SOUND I HEAR IN MY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS VIBRATING SOUND CAN BE NORMAL WHEN THE FOLLOWING GM SERVICE WEBSITE LINK ... HTTP://SERVICE.GM.COM/GMTECHLINK/IMAGES/ISSUES/APR03/TLAPR03E.HTML#STORY16 REFERS TO THE FOLLOWING SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM? EXHAUST BOOM OR VIBRATION VEHICLES WITH THE 4.2L L6 ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT A BOOM OR VIBRATION COMING FROM THE EXHAUST, AT OR NEAR IDLE. THE FOLLOWING MAY HELP REDUCE THE VIBRATION. UNBOLT THE DOWNPIPE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OUTLET AND REPLACE THE DONUT SEAL. WHEN YOU TIGHTEN THE DOWNPIPE TO THE MANIFOLD, HAVE A SECOND TECHNICIAN HOLD THE REAR END OF THE DOWNPIPE SO THE TWO EXHAUST HANGERS STAY CENTERED IN THE RUBBER BUSHING HOLES. KEEPING THE RODS CENTERED IN THE BUSHING HOLES MAKES A NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT. - THANKS TO GM TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WHAT CAN BE DONE IN ORDER FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED?

WHILE MAKING A U-TURN AT LOW SPEED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE CAME OFF THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

THE REAR BUMPER OF MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CRACKED DUING AN IMPACT OF LESS THAN 5MPH. GM TOLD ME THAT THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM, AND THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. I THOUGHT THEY NAMED THIS A BUMPER BECAUSE IT WAS THERE TO WITHSTAND SOME KIND OF IMPACT.*AK

THE GAS INTAKE PIPE ALLOWS GAS TO SPILL OUT WHEN FUELING 2003 TRAILBLAZER.BASICALLY, THE FUEL PUMPS AT ALL GAS STATIONS I USE DO NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FUELING AND GAS OVERFLOWS ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED A REPLACEMENT PART BUT NO RECALL IS OUT. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN.*AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED SOMETIMES THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM EITHER THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. SHE STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN 3-04. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, MAINLY TO THE BACK DOORS AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE DEALER ORIGINALLY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, THEY WERE SAYING THE DOORS WERE STICKING BECAUSE SHE DID NOT BRING THE CAR IN AND HAD THE DOORS LUBRICATED. SHE DENIED THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. *AK

I ATTEMPTED TO FUEL THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I ATTEMPTED, THE PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF AS IF AN OVERFLOW WERE HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME.

WHILE PUTTING THE TRAILBLAZER INTO ANY GEAR IT MAKES GRINDING NOISE IN REAR. WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER THE REAR OF THE BLAZER WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE THE REAR WHEELS WHERE GOING TO FALL OFF. WHILE STILL MANY MILES AWAY FROM DEALER FOR SERVICE THE BACK AXIAL LOCKED UP MAKING ME LOOSE CONTROL. THIS WAS AT 25 MPH. THANK GOODNESS I DID NOT TAKE THE HIGHWAY. I DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT 65 MPH. I HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALER FROM THERE. I WAS TOLD THAT A BEARING BREAKING CAUSED THIS. HOWEVER FIRST I WAS ACCUSED OF HAVING THE VEHICLE 4 WHEELING.*AK

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM BY A PASSING MOTORIST.

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL." I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE DEFECTS DISCOVERED ON MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS ON OCTOBER 2003. FEW MONTHS I DROVE MY TRAILBLAZER, I WAS STUCK AT THE AIRPORT BECAUSE IT WON'T START AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WHICH LASTED FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A CASE OF LOW BATTERY POWER. I WAS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THEIR REASON. I WROTE GM HEADQUARTERS DEMANDING AN EXCHANGE OR REPLACEMENT OF THE TRUCK. THEY DECLINED MY REQUEST, INSTEAD THEY OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MPH, WHEN I CHANGED GEAR ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GEAR SHIFTER CAME LOOSE AND PRACTICALLY DETACHED IT'S LINKAGE. I PANICKED AND SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SHIFTER FOR FREE. THEN JUST THIS MONTH I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 50 MPH, I NOTICED THE RPM WAS BETWEEN 7-8 AND THE ENGINE REVVED HARD, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. THE SPEED REMAINED CONSTANT EVEN WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL FULLY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TOTAL MILEAGE DRIVEN AS OF THIS TIME IS 30,000 MILES." *JB
