Cruise Control problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Two problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2016

While highway driving with cruise control engaged I heard a loud whining sound and experienced a sudden loss of power. I was almost hit from behind several times before I could get the vehicle over into the right lane. When I took the vehicle to my mechanic I was told the cooling fan clutch assemble had failed. I have had this fan replaced three times now and am not at all pleased that this vehicle has not been recalled for this problem. I have read that this is a "common" problem on this vehicle that can cause a severe accident. I have receipts for the repairs but have no way to upload them.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2004

We have a 2002 chev. Trailblazer ext. This vehicle's cruise control cuts out while it is set. It has happened numerous times - too many to count - and at different speeds depending on the state and speed limit. The cruise light does go on when it is originally set but goes off at random and with truck traffic behind you it is not a place where you want to be slowing down and not realizing it immediately.
