general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I was driving home from work and started hearing the trucks undercarriage start to rattle and grind on the bumps of the road. I had a sudden loss of power on engine and it wouldnt respond to my pressing on the gas. I believed that I had gas in the truck because the gauge read half full and apparently I was out of gas. So I proceeded to pull into a gas station and as soon as we filled up, the truck would not start! I saw that my check engine light was on and had to ask for a jumpstart to get it started again. At another time and date again the truck went dead, I asked for a jumpstart and the vehicle would not respond. I now had to buy a new battery because the car damaged the original battery and now with the new battery installed my car starts but will not stay on without me pressing on the gas while in park gear. I believe something may be defective with the electrical gauges, fuel delivery system, and suspension.

Fuel smell in cab of vehicle: started on 20 June 2011, vehicle has 165k miles. Other problem includes parking lights needing replaced very frequently.

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.

Parked Trailblazer in garage last night and this morning smelled gas in garage. Underneath the truck was a puddle of gasoline that had leaked out. It seams to be leaking from below the rear seat and middle of the vehicle. I am reading about many similar problems and concerns that other owners have about this potentially dangerous situation. I would like to know if there are recalls or other means of getting some help so I can repair the problem ASAP. Hopefully not at my expense. Thank you for the opportunity.

On 9/25/09, my 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer stalled and lost power steering when I attempted to make a right turn. When I tried to restart the vehicle, gasoline was caused to spill on the roadway. The vehicle was towed to my local repair shop, and it was determined the fuel filter fitting failed. My vehicle had 39, 993 miles on it at that time. After my vehicle was repaired, further research revealed a recall had been issued under number 02v121000 for the same problem described above. I contacted gm/Chevrolet, and was advised that recall did not pertain to my VIN, nor were there any other recalls issued for my vehicle addressing similar failures. It is obvious that my vehicle should have also been included in the recall mentioned above.

I have had to already replace the coil pack in my 2002 chevy Trailblazer LS a few months ago and not it seems that it or another on is gone bad again the truck is sputtering, lose of power, no speed. I love this vehicle and have already made on complaint about it I also know of several others that have this vehicle and have also reported problems with the same thing. Chevy needs to recall these vehicles and attempt to find out what the problem is.

Gas fumes followed by leaking gas fuel module.

Smelled gasoline around SUV, became more prominent one day when starting SUV gasoline poured out from under. Had SUV towed to repair station had to replace the fuel sending module cost me 367. 90 parts 165. 00 labor.

The engine light continues to come on after it has been turned off. The problem has been recurring over the last several years. More than four diagnostic test have been performed. Vacuum problem. No resolutions. Gas smell when car initially is started up.

I notice a strong gasoline smell at first, then a large amount of gas became evident at idle in the driveway. I took vehicle into the shop and was informed of the "rotted out" pump flange was leaking. I paid almost $700 to have it fixed and complained to the dealer. 12 months later the gm/delphi pump failed and I had to pay to have it replaced again!.

2002 Trailblazer is leaking fuel and needs a new fuel modular and filter. This defect is a serious threat to people driving this type of vehicle.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the odor of fuel was noticed in the cab of the vehicle. It was driven to an independent repair shop, who replaced the synchronize valve, fuel sending unit and fuel filter. The consumer was told the problem was with the sending unit. The consumer had the problem repaired, however it resurfaced again. Updated 12/18/06.

I also had a noise from underneath vehicle getting louder over 3-4 days then smell of gas began and got very strong after a couple days. When it smelled bad we took it to a shop and the fuel sending unit and filter needed replaced. There was a small hole which was caused by corrosion that the mechanic said he had never seen this before. He said if I hadn't brought it when I did that the vehicle could have caught on fire.

Vehicle loses power without warning and causes danger to occupants and oncoming traffic the vehicle is in manufacturer's warranty and has been in shop several times with no idea whats causing problem.
