Battery problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Chevy Trailblazer02 model, about 40k miles in 2005 the car died on us 2 times and we couldn't find out what was the reason we had to ask for jump and it kept going on normal, then suddenly after about a couple month I saw that the battery was leaking, and damaged some a/c pipe lines under the battery, had to replace the battery and wash and clean all under and around the battery to remove the acid stuff. After that the tailgate where the third brake light is, started making noises everytime I opened it, when checked I found that the part where the rear window is affixed to the tail gate where broke and the escrews are hanging by it self which made the rear window loose and standing out, and about a week ago now that I have 61k miles in 2009 the rear brake light went off, took it to dealer and they told me about the recall on those lights and so they fixed it, which when I picked up the SUV and drove it with the family about 45 miles trip when suddenly it started blowing air and making a strong and deep noise sounded like a bus or 18 wheeler passing by, which made us cancel the trip and go back to dealer to find out what have they done to my car, take a guess, I was told that it's common on those chevy's the fan clutch to go out and that it really lasted long on my car and yes it's something normal that happens, but it cost me $950. 00 to repair it yeah sure very normal, it seems like gm parts and labors now are costing just as the german cars. Shouldn't gm make all those issues recall if it is known that are defective and are happening to most of the cars .

I live in southwest ohio and I own a 2002 Trailblazer. I noticed that in December of 2006, my rear windshield wiper would not function when turned on. Shortly thereafter, we had our first frost and I noticed that the rear defogger/defroster was not working. It is now nearly 0 degrees outside and even if I clean the window with a scraper, it still frosts up while driving. I have looked for a fuse to replace, but find none for the rear defrost, and the one for the rear wiper is fine. Just yesterday, I picked up some large items at a home improvement store and was unable to unlock the rear gate, I tried to use the button on my remote, to which the car no longer responds, even with new battery, I tried to unlock it from the driver side controls with the car off and turned on, but nothing happened. So there me and my pregnant wife were standing in zero temperature weather with three large items on a cart and nowhere to go with them. We ended up paying somebody to haul them to our house.

We bought the vehicle in 2004-2005, about a year later the instrument panel started having some intermittent problems, that's when we found out about the recalls. We took the vehicle to the local dealer (airport Chevrolet) where the repairs were made. About a year later the instrument panel started having the same problems, I took it back into the dealer, they said it would cost me about $500 to have it fixed and it would not be covered under the recall. I contacted chevy by email, and after a couple of months of emailing back and forth they said "they have to draw the line on age and mileage for the recall". I told them I was going to contact my attorney, they said they did not want to hear anything more about it and not to email again. Since then we have driven the vehicle, the more we drive it, the more something else, electrical, goes wrong. I. E. The rear wiper does not work, the cooling/heating fan does not work, the radio/cd player gets really hot, the last thing that happened was the battery got fried and my cell phone while plugged into the cig liter for recharge almost got fried, almost too hot to touch. So I am paying monthly payments for a vehicle I can not drive.

Factory installed battery leaking acid out of the side mounted terminals at 3. 5 years 40k miles. No warranty coverage after 3 years 36k. Other complaints and web-postings with same problem, obviously battery is defective.

I brought this car on August 14, 2004. At 2 months the vehicle stop working. I call the dealership and told them what was happening. They told me that it was a battery problem and the insurance I had got with them did not cover it. So then I decided to purchase a insurance that would cover that. They charged me one thousand dollars. Later they called me to tell me that I did not qualified for the insurance. They didn't return me the one thousand dollars I had gave them. Since the beginning the sales person lied to me. He told me that the vehicle was 2003 but it is really a 2002. The transmission to my vehicle does not work. I want to cancel the purchase of this car.
