TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF DID NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE SUN ROOF IN OCTOBER OF 2010 BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,394.
CHEVROLET DEALER BEGAN RECALL REPAIRS BUT GM FILED BANKRUPTCY AND DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR CITING INABILITY TO GET PAID BY GM FOR RECALL, RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO ME UNREPAIRED. NEXT DEALER SAID RECORDS SHOWED REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. THEY WERE NOT.
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
ANYTIME THE WIPERS ARE SET ON INTERMITTENT, THEY COMPLETELY STOP AT ANY GIVEN TIME. YOU CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE WIPERS WILL JUST STOP WITH THE BLADES POSITIONED PERPENDICULAR TO THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS SOMETIMES RESUME WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OR THERE IS UP TO A SEVERAL SECOND DELAY. I HAVE TO MOVE THE STALK TO LOW OR HIGH TO GET THE WIPERS TO MOVE AGAIN. I WOULDN'T NORMALLY COMPLAIN BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS RECALLED FOR WIPER PROBLEMS IN ITS INFANCY DUE TO WATER GETTING ONTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE FIX DID NOT KEEP THE WATER OUT AND THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS DAMAGED. *TR
IT HAS THE "MEMORY" MIRROR OPTION WHICH INCLUDES FEATURING MEMORY SET OPTIONS FOR DRIVER 1 AND DRIVER 2, AS WELL AS REARVIEW CURB ASSISTANCE (THE MIRRORS WILL TILT DOWN TO YOUR SETTING TO HELP PARALLEL PARK WHEN IN REVERSE). THIS OPTION WORKED GREAT FOR A WHILE. THEN, IN 2003, THE MIRRORS STARTED ACTING CRAZY. THEY WOULD CLICK EXCESSIVELY, TILT TOWARDS THE SKY OR DOWN AT THE GROUND. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ACTUATORS (UNDER WARRANTY) TO SEE IF IT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEY WORKED AGAIN FOR A WHILE. THEN, THE MIRRORS QUIT HOLDING THEIR MEMORY, CAUSING ME ONCE AGAIN TO HAVE TO RESET THE MIRRORS EVERY TIME I GOT IN THE CAR. ALSO, THE MIRRORS APPEARED TO MOVE AT SOME POINT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I THOUGHT MY MIRRORS WERE RESET, AND THEN I WOULD LOOK TO CHANGE LANES AND FIND MY MIRROR TILTED UP TOWARDS THE SKY OR SOME ERRATIC PLACE. *JS
GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. MY MOTHER PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER NEW. APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES INTO OWNERSHIP, THE CAR WOULD "DROP" VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. FOR INSTANCE, WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN, BUT THE WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING, HVAC WOULD TURN OFF, AIR BAG AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, ETC. DEALER HAD NO IDEA HOW TO FIX. EVENTUALLY THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, GM NEVER ISSUED A RECALL, BUT I'M SURE THE ISSUE IS NOT ISOLATED. THESE SWITCHES WERE UNRELIABLE ACROSS SEVERAL VEHICLE LINES, PLEASE INVESTIGATE GMT 360 PLATFORM WELL. *TR
ALL TRAILBLAZER TAHOES AND ENVOYS HAVE THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IT CAUSES THESES ACTUATORS TO SLAM OPEN AND SHUT BREAKING THEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME ALMOST 2000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND DEPEND ON THE HEAT TO UNTHAW MY WINDSHIELD. CONSIDERING THIS IS A MANUFACTURES PROBLEM AND ANY MECHANIC KNOWS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE. SO WHAT IS THIS CRAP? DO I HAVE TO RETAIN A LAWYER FOR THIS ISSUE IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] MY NAME IS [XXX] I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH A RECALL. HEAT IN WINTER I WOULD SAY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I WILL BE PERSISTENT WITH THIS. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
THERE WAS A VEHICLE RECALL CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE WIPER MOTOR ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WATER WOULD WORK IT'S WAY INTO THE WIPER MOTOR ON CERTAIN MODELS AND SHORT THE MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD OUT. GENERAL MOTOR'S FIX WAS TO INSPECT AND RESEAL THE MOTOR. NOT LONG AFTER GENERAL MOTOR'S SUPPOSED FIX, THE WIPERS ON MY TRAILBLAZER WOULD STOP IN MID WIPE AND THEN RESTART AGAIN A FEW SECONDS LATER, WHICH I REGARD AS A SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CIRCUIT BOARD HAD SHORTED OUT AND THE WIPER MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT $332.67. THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED ADDRESS. IN MY OPINION, GENERAL MOTOR'S (FIX) WAS A STOPGAP MEASURE AND NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND A ONGOING SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO SHELL OUT FOR THIS REPAIR OVER THE YEARS. I FEEL THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD MAKE GENERAL MOTOR'S RECALL THIS VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN FOR A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FEEL THAT ANYONE WHO HAS PAID FOR THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. *TR
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
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, BOTH FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF AS WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SPRAYED OVER THE WINDOW, OBSTRUCTING THE CONTACTS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V046000 (VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER). THE DEALER HAD NO INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER WHERE SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE RECALL WAS CLOSED. SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH HER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,500.
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
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION. THE AUTOMATIC DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS NONFUNCTIONAL WHEN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF FOUR MONTHS IN WHICH THERE WAS NO SUFFICIENT REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
WIPER MOTOR WAS RECALLED FOR HESTATION BUT STILL DOES THE SAME THING AFTER BEING FIXED REPLACED FAN CLUTCH 2008 TRANSMISSION SHIFTS/HESITATES FROM 1ST TO 2ND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE TRANNY PROBLEM STARTED. *TR
THE 2002 TRAILBLAZER HAD A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE THAT WATER INSIDE THE MOTOR COULD CAUSE. THE CORRECTION WAS PERFORMED BY PLUGGING A HOLE IN THE MOTOR. MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO UNDER A GMPP EXTENDED WARRANTY. SHORTLY LATER, THE WIPERS BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION WHILE ON INTERMITTENT. THEY STUTTER AND SOMETIMES STOP IN MID STROKE, UNLESS ON HIGH SPEED. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT WERE CAUSED BY WATER DAMAGE THAT HAD OCCURRED. I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER ABOUT CORRECTING AND THEY STATED THAT SINCE THE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED, THEY COULD REPAIR THE UNIT ONLY IF I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS. THE ESTIMATED COST WAS AROUND $350. ADDITIONAL INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY OPENING THE WIPER MOTOR AND CLEANING THE CONTACTS - A RESULT OF WATER DAMAGE, OBVIOUSLY CAUSED EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL. I BELIEVE CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR RATHER THAN PLUG THE HOLE AS THEY DID ORIGINALLY. I ALSO BELIEVE CHEVROLET KNEW THEIR ORIGINAL RECALL (PLUGGING THE HOLE) WOULD NOT LAST AND MOTORS WOULD FAIL AT A LATER TIME. UPDATED 04/12/10
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. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FOB SENSOR FAILED TO OPEN THE POWER DOORS. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD BECAUSE THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY ENTRY FOR THE DOORS. THE FAILURE OCCURS IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL BE REPAIRED. THEY WILL REPLACE THE SENSOR AND CHECK THE WIRING IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,200 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,620. UPDATED 03/09/09. *LJ THE REAR WIPER WAS INOPERTIVE. UPDATED 03/12/09. *JB
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 SHATTERED REAR HATCH FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO ONE TOUCHED THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST THREE HOURS BEFORE THE GLASS SHATTERED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR; THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER ALSO CITED THAT THERE WAS POOR TERMINAL TENSION IN THE LIFTGATE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD PHOTOS OF THE SHATTERED GLASS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,563.
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
MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 TRAILBLAZER LTZ. IT HAS THE "MEMORY" MIRROR OPTION WHICH FEATURES MEMORY SET OPTIONS FOR DRIVER 1 AND DRIVER 2, AS WELL AS REARVIEW CURB ASSISTANCE (THE MIRRORS WILL TILT DOWN TO YOUR SETTING TO HELP PARALLEL PARK WHEN IN REVERSE). THIS OPTION WORKED GREAT FOR A WHILE. THEN, THE MIRRORS STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY. THEY WOULD CLICK EXCESSIVELY, TILT TOWARDS THE SKY OR DOWN AT THE GROUND. THE MIRRORS QUIT HOLDING THEIR MEMORY, AND EVERY TIME I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE TO RESET THE MIRRORS. THE WORRISOME PART OF THIS IS THAT THE MIRRORS WILL NOT HOLD THE RESET EITHER AND WHILE DRIVING, THE MIRRORS MOVED. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE EVERY DAY AND WHEN I CHECKED THE MIRROR TO CHANGE LANES, FOUND MYSELF LOOKING UP AT THE CLOUDS OR DOWN AT THE ROAD. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!. (I WON'T EVEN FACTOR IN THE ANNOYANCE ASPECT.) MY 17 YEAR OLD DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WON'T TEACH HER TO DRIVE IN THE "NEWER" CAR AND I EXPLAINED THAT I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE SHE'S SAFER, IN THE 96 SATURN COUPE, BECAUSE THE MIRRORS ARE RELIABLE. I'VE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT ON SEVERAL SITES AND I SERIOUSLY HAVE TO WONDER WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON SOMETHING THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
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.
