4 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

5 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 03/01/2014

Saturday night (03/1/14) on our way home it started snowing heavily, the visibility was low and our windows were fogging up and the front heater blower went off on our 2005 chevy Trailblazer and would not come back on. While trying to find a place to safely pull over we almost hit another vehicle because we couldn't see through our fogged up windows. . After we pulled over and turned the car off the blower motor came on and continued to run with the car off and the key removed from the ignition, so we re-started the car, and the blower went off and never came back on. . . Then today I went out started the car to warm up the engine and the blower came on. I drove to the store shut the car off and the blower continued to run so I re-started the car and turned it off again and the blower motor stopped. When I re-entered the car to go home the blower once again would not turn on at any speed. So I figured if I didn't have heat at least I had a heated seat but after about 5-10 mins the seat part of the seat got so hot it was burning my butt and thighs so I had to shut it off. Then about 1/2 home the blower just started blowing again, I pulled into the gas station shut the car off and the blower motor once again continued to run with the car off and the key out of the ignition so again I put the key in started the car then turned it off again and the motor stopped. This could be a very serious issue with not being able to defrost the windshield/windows in these hazardous driving conditions< plus not having heat in below zero temps is a health hazard as well. ( since we live in such a cold snowy state).

7 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 02/01/2013

Outside temperature displaying 50 degrees regardless of actual outside temperature. When actual temperatures below freezing this represents a hazard. When temperatures above 50 degrees air conditioning not responsive (even when temperatures in excess of 100 degress, "heater" comes on due to erroneous outdoor temperature reading). Poor fuel mileage results from incorrect air/fuel mixture at actual air temperatures more than 20 degrees +/- 50 degree system temperature.

9 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 06/13/2012

I bought my Trailblazer (which I love) in the spring of 2012. A few months after purchasing the vehicle I came to learn that the horn no longer worked. I know the horn worked when I purchased the car because I checked it. I brought it in to a well renowned repair shop and they told me that their findings after looking it up was that there is a slight glitch with the horn and that, like other forms had stated, the more you use it the better chance of getting it to work. The mechanic said that he was reading that other people were having the same problem and that the horns on these Trailblazers needed to be massaged a little in the corner and the would work again. He said they got it working. I have yet to be able to get any noise out of my horn at all. This concerns me because of the safety issues that can arise with the lack of a horn to get someone elses attention if need be.

12 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 12/01/2011

While driving the 2008 Trailblazer I started to experience a loss of brake pedal with the travel going all of the way to the floor, with hardly any braking function or stopping action. It was intermittent and would not happen more then once or twice at first. Then when I was in a parking lot, the brakes failed again and I hit a cement divider damaging the bumper of the vehicle. You would be driving the vehicle, and step on the brakes as you would be coasting into or coming up to a stop. You would let up on the pedal then hit it again, the 2nd time loosing all brake pressure and function. I had to take the vehicle into the gm dealership for service. There were no fluid leaks, or any type of brake rotor damage. The dealership came back saying that the master cylinder had failed on the vehicle. This is on a Chevrolet truck, 4x4 that is supposed to be heavy duty off road capable package. General motors would not cover the repair under any type of warranty claim. The repair cost me close to $800, and loss of vehicle use, along with the bumper damage. I have owned over a dozen general motors vehicles to date over a 30 year period. I have never, ever had a master cylinder fail on any of them. This is a poor quality controlled component and I want g. M. To compensate me for the repairs and damages. I have raised this issue through the general motors customer service line, and they refuse to cover the repairs.
