Ive had to replace the brake lights on my 2002 chevy Trailblazer twice now. Having almost been rear-ended numerous times and if it wasn't for other drivers telling me my brake lights were out, I'm sure there would have been an accident by now. Also at 41,000 miles now the "service engine soon" light has come on as well.

On some cold starts the auto transmission starts off in second or third gear, it stays that way until the vehicle warms up. This is preceded by the engine idleing faster than usual on the cold start. This is an intermittent problem and has been happeing a few times per month. Two dealers have failed to find the problem.
Consumer states that while driving vehicle will not accelerate and will run at a rough idle, this was caused by a engine coil shortage. Dealer contacted and replaced part. Mr.
Engine problems; vehicle has been taken to dealer five different times,and that problem still exists.
Since shortly after purchase, (Feb. '02) to present (July '03) my 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer ltz 2wd has frequent-to-constant "pinging" in engine while accelerating; flat surfaces and inclines. Higher octane gasoline does not remedy. Representative at dealer's service dept. States this is "normal" with trai*blazers. I am concerned that it is causing damage to the heads.
