WHEN HAD THE CRASH WHICH WAS VERY HARD LOUD AND SCARY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR DID THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE OF SEAT. THE CRASH WAS VERY SERIOUS AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND POWERTRAIN TO WINDOWS. *TR
I WAS WONDERING HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. I SEE THAT THEY HAVE RECALLS ON OTHER CHEVY CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AS WHEN THIS GOES YOU HAVE A REDUCE ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON. WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT UNTIL MY CAR WASN'T GOING ANY MORE THAN 20 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD LIKE I WAS AND CAN'T SPEED UP OR BETTER YET TRYING TO TURN WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO. ALSO, I SEE THAT THERE WERE ALSO ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHICH ALSO I HAD THAT PROBLEM HAS TO PAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED. AS HOW THEY WOULD SAY THEIR ARE MANUFACTURE PARTS WHICH DEFINITELY HURTS YOUR POCKETS. IF THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THESE ISSUES THEY REALLY NEED TO RECTIFY BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES CAUSE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD. I KNOW THEY ARE WEAR AND TEAR ON CARS / TRUCKS BUT IF YOU HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I THINK THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. *JS
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH ABOUT 79000 MILES ON IT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED BEING INCORRECT ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD AMONG TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. THE GAUGES STICK. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED IT WAS JUST THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE RPM GAUGE, BUT NOW ITS THE MENTIONED GAUGES PLUS THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE HAD A TRAFFIC STOP AND WAS GIVEN A WARNING FOR DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AS A PROBLEM BY A LOT OF OWNERS AND THE COST IS AROUND $500. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY NOT AN OWNER INITIATED PROBLEM BUT A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND THE REAR GLASS HAS SHATTERED 2 TIMES THE FIRST TIME WE REPORTED IT AS A WINDOW BEING SHOT OUT BUT IM NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED NOW THERE WAS NO PROOF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED FOR SURE I OPENED THE OUTSIDE DOOR TO MY HOUSE THEN I SHUT IT TO HEAR MY WINDOW SHATTER INS PAID TO REPLACE IT AND THAT WAS JUST OVER A YEAR AGO IT COST A TOTAL OF 1200.00 TO GET FIXED THEN LAST NIGHT WE WERE GETTING STUFF OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR AND AS MY HUSBAND PUSHED IT SHUT THE WINDOW SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES THIS WOULD HAVE CUT HIM UP BAD IF IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COLD AND HE WASN'T WEARING HIS WINTER COAT WHAT IF IT WAS MY 8 YEAR OLD GOING OUT TO GET SOMETHING . NOT SURE HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THE WINDOW REPLACED ITS CHRISTMAS TIME AND I CANT REALLY AFFORD IT HOPING THE GLASS COMPANY WILL HONOR THERE POLICY OF SAFE GLASS AND REPLACE IT. *TR
MY AIR/HEAT ON OCCASION HAS NOT WORKED. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHERE I WOULD TURN ON THE SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING WOULD SOUND LIKE IT WAS ON BUT NOTHING WOULD BLOW OUT AT ALL. MY VEHICLE IS OF COURSE OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WENT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MANY GM VEHICLES. CURRENTLY MY UNIT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. *TR
I BUCKLED UP MY CHILD'S SAFETY SEAT AND IT DID NOT PROVIDE AN ANCHOR POINT ON THE BACK OF THE BENCH SEAT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE HEAD SUPPORT IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH. THE REAR SEATBELT ALSO DID NOT PROVIDE A LOCK FEATURE; THEREFORE PROVIDING WHIPLASH IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR EVEN CAUSE THE CAR SEAT TO FALL OVER ON THE LEFT - OUT THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW OR TO THE RIGHT TIPPING ON ANOTHER PASSENGER, CAUSING INJURY. *TR
(1) FUEL SENSOR WENT BAD ON MY '04 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT LS 4WD 4.2 LITER V6 ENGINE WHICH HAS (26,000 MILES ON IT - EXCELLENT CONDITION), THEREBY (2) CAUSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BECOME CONGESTED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER FOR USE AND TOWING ON THE VEHICLE. (3) TOLD BY THE DEALER WHERE VEHICLE PURCHASED THAT THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CONSUMER USE BY GM PARTS AND SERVICE. TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UP TO 3 MONTHS FOR ITEM TO BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC RELEASE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON A LEASED VEHICLE. PAYING TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE VEHICLE TO FULL POTENTIAL. MAJOR LOSS. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH GM SERVICE. HOWEVER, I WAS OFFERED A RENTAL VEHICLE TO DRIVE FOR THIS TIME PERIOD THAT IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO MY OWN VEHICLE. THIS WAS FINALLY OFFERED AFTER ARGUING WITH GM REPRESENTATIVE. *NM
(1) CRASH (2) AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK, KNEES HIT DASH (3) TRUCK WAS TOTALED. *JB
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
