Five problems related to structure have been reported for the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving 60 mph the contact noticed that the rear spoiler had suddenly separated from the rear end of the vehicle. The dealership was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be serviced. Prior to the recent failure the vehicle was taken to the dealership on 3 prior occasions where the spoiler was replaced each time. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 82,000. Updated 05/10/10 the first time, the dealer replaced the spoiler under warranty. The second time it blew off and the dealer stated they wouldn't replace it due to the mileage on the vehicle. Updated 06/04/10.
The upper molding of my 2004 Trailblazer blew off the back of the vehicle while I was driving. A previous problem with the same part had been fixed at no charge more than a year ago. This time, the dealership where I bought the vehicle gave me an estimate on what it would cost to repair it ($505. 20), but said this problem would not be covered by warranty. The body shop manager in 2004 said he had seen several vehicles with the same problem. The dealership today denied that pattern and said fixing the problem was up to me. To compound the problem from my perspective, it took the dealership 36 hours to come to a decision on whether or not the cost of repair should be borne by me or not.
The consumer was able to hear wind noise even with the windows up. The consumer discovered the rubber seals were loose. The dealer told the consumer it was normal for this car. Showed the manufacturer the problem of the seals coming loose and they said it was an engineering problem.
The vehicle is a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS. While shutting the door or touching the vehicle the consumer would be shock so badly that she sees colors. She tried touching the plastic handle to the door but if her finger comes within an inch of the metal it would still shock her, even through clothes. Dealership was going to fix the problem sometime this week. They have tried products for humidity and used static guard but none of this stuff solved the problem. Mechanic said they had a lot of problems with people getting shocked. After the vehicle started shocking her the computer chip was replaced, and since they replaced computer it shocked even harder.
The consumer felt the vehicle handling was very poor. The front suspension was unsteady when being passed by another vehicle of any size. The dealer examined the vehicle five times and was not able to find the problem. Windy conditions added to the vehicle's poor handling. The dealer claimed that this condition was normal for SUV's. The manufacturer was contacted and agreed with the dealer therefore they took no further action.
