Was under vehicle and noticed a stress crack in the frame on the passenger side under the motor mount. This looks like it can be a potentially serious issue and looks as if it has been there for a while. The crack is approximately 6" long and on the very bottom of the frame directly below the engine mounting bracket.
I started my vehicle to leave a parking lot and as I put it in reverse, it made a very loud screeching noise. I applied the brake and immediately turned off the vehicle. I looked under the hood trying to see if there was anything noticeably wrong, nothing. I restarted my car again and put it in reverse and the screeching noise started again when I put the vehicle in reverse and it would not move. With the help of another person, we pushed it back then, put I it in drive and it did move forward and the noise stopped after awhile. I spoke with several people and I was informed that it was the transmission. I looked online, spoke with several mechanics, and they all informed me that it was a common problem for the Trailblazer that the sun shell failing. I also found several discussions regarding the transmission problems of the sun shell failing all with varying mileage. I have received several quotes and they all vary in range. I also called the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from and they denied any knowledge of the transmission failing. I was told it was because of my high mileage. They quoted the highest of everyone with $2868 for a replacement. If it is common knowledge among the mechanics not associated with the dealership, I don't understand why the dealership denied any knowledge of the problem. The amount of money paid for these vehicles, gm should acknowlede all problems of their product and fix the problems.
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.
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 windsheild 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 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.
First the left side of my temperature control lighting went out, a week later I got a steady service engine soon light, it then went out after a few minutes, it then stayed steady for a period of 2 days, then went out. Then 3 days later my indicator light above my 4-wheel drive control went out, I attempted to change the fuse, then got a service four-wheel drive warning.
Instrument panel cluster stopped working--inclusive the speedometer and all accessory gauges (tachometer, oil pressure, temperature, charging system).
I own a 2002 Trailblazer which the transmission has failed twice since I have owned it. The first repair was September 2010 amount was $ 2000 and went out again in August 2011 costing me $1,500 the second time. This has been an ongoing problems with the Trailblazer and they have not yet chosen to recall this problem. Hopefully no one has gotten hurt or will get hurt. I was almost hit from the rear the day my truck just stopped in the middle of the road no warnings or signs. This is a serious problem and what will it take for gm to recall this I guess they hope the problem will just go away. Gm knows this is a problem if they changed the sunshell material on the newer models ones that are more heat resistant why make the part more sturdy if there is no problems or safety concerns. I am now trying to get rid of my truck and will never purchase another gm automobile.
2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext. Speedometer sticks and remains at last known speed or stops working completely. Only way to resolve is to turn the vehicle completely off and restart.
The spare tire release cable on my 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer became twisted and could have broke releasing the spare tire as the vehicle drove down the road. The spare tire had never been removed from compartment and so it would appear to be a manufacturer defect.
My vehicle has a squeek sound in it. The dealer has replaced everything possible under the vehicle and is now at a loss as to what the problem could be. I am wondering what my next step is to do. This is an ongoing problem since I purchased this vehicle. It has been to the shop a dozen times or so for this.
The jack was installed underneath the passenger's rear seat. The consumer went to unscrew the jack when the pin from the jack shot up and hit the consumer in the left eye. The pin caused permanent eye damage. Manufacturer was not contacted at the time of this call.
This vehicle is equipped with "memory" mirrors that are supposed to return to the last stored position when the remote keyless entry is used. Instead they drive to an extreme position, make a loud clicking noise, and stay that way. Many times I've been trying to make a lane change and found the mirrors pointing toward the pavement. The manufacturer is aware of the defect and has fixed it in the 2003 model. However, they refuse to fix my vehicle. This problem exists in all 2002 Trailblazers and GMC envoys. There is an internal service bulletin at Chevrolet that explains it.
Not your ordinary safety defect but an unsafe condition nonetheless. I live in arizona, a place that tends to get a little warm. When the vehicle heat soaks in the sun the remote keyless entry fails. The dealer has replaced the main receiver board and the ( 2 ) entry transmitters with no effect other than modifying the failure characteristics. The ( 2 ) key transmitters also do not operate the entry system in an identical manner. One will operate all entry system functions, the other ( transmitter #2 ) will not. This will create a severe problem if immediate access is required to the vehicle and you cannot rely on the system to have the vehicle unlocked when you get to it. My brother, also the owner of a 2002 Trailblazer, is complaining of the same problem.
Entire dashboard continues to "blank out" third time/ all needles not working/cannot tell how fast traveling/which gear/how much fuel/engine temp/ now airbag warning lamp stays on.
Operation of remote control to unlock vehicle causes outside mirrors to move from preset position. This creates a hazardous situation, especially is view from inside mirror is restricted. Dealer says no fix is known.
The interior and exterior light control failed. The switch did not function which caused the lights not to illuminate or go off.
