Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT power windows problems

Filed Jul 3, 2016 · Electrical · 184,000 miles · IN

None of my gages work and a lot of my dash lights are on. I have no idea how much gas I have. My speedometer and RPM gages work but nothing else does. This has been happening on and off for about 3 months but they would always go back on. But now it has been off for a week without going back to normal. Twice last week the radio and the power windows stopped working as well. This happens while driving parked all the time and it doesnt go back to normal. I have seen a lot of complaints about this so I have no clue why there isn't a recall. It is not safe to drive my trailblazer until these things are fixed. I work at a chevrolet dealership and they couldn't figure out how to fix this either. Gm needs to put out a recall to get this fixed asap.

The driver's door window and door lock has been working intermittently over the last 1 1/2 yrs. This last march, the window stopped working . Then the door lock followed and then the entire door. I have no control over any aspect of the car with that door. I makes a buzz-zapping sound. I cannot lock the windows at all in the back, so now my young children play with the windows and hang out them. The doors are supposed to lock when the truck is put into gear, but that does not always happen. Sometimes it will happen 10 minutes into a trip , sometimes not at all. In the last month the front passenger side window stopped working also. My sons are now complaining of hearing a buzz, click, click, click, sound coming from the back doors. I assume it is the vehicle attempting to lock the doors since we are driving but it is unable to. The driver side mirror also has a mind of its own due to the malfunction of the electrical or the door. It will change its positioning all by itself . I always have to readjust it manually just to find it pointing at the ground later on. I took it to my chevrolet dealer and was told my vehicle is not included in the recall because of where I purchased it and where I limy live. This is a safety issue apart from the obvious electrical zapping that can be heard, but it is also for children when the vehicle is in motion. I am unemployed and it is going to cost over $150 for them to look at it, and he said there is no recall so to fix it, I will have to pay. There is constant exposure to salt air here in florida. My kids lives are at stake. I do not care where I live, this is there safety. What if they open the window and get hurt because I cannot lock the window because of problems with my car door.the recall needs to be nation wide and it needs to resolved before someone get hurts.

Both rear window regulators went out at the same time not from wear hardly used them makes to much noise. Four wheel drive differential locking hub locked in won't come out. Electrical problems with radio, dash lights, heated seats just to name a few. Idle not right stalls out while in park sometimes. Nothing fixed yet have to save money because cost to much to go to dealer,it costs a 100.00 just to have them hook up to machine and then it says nothing is wrong but all this is wrong ,it does not compute.

2002 chevy trail blazer ext on 3/3/07 - while driving truck on highway the truck stopped running. Restarted truck and pulled over to side of road. Truck stopped running again. My husband noticed the oil pressure gauge which indicated no oil pressure. Truck was then taken to repair shop. Our mechanic stated that it need a new oil pump, which is located in the engine- this was too big a job for his station. My husband called general motors, spoke to their representative, who stated that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and in order for them to do cost sharing with us the vehicle would need to be taken to a gm authorized repair dealer. After numerous attempts to contact that same rep - we were informed by the chevy dealer that we needed to pay for the diagnostics(635.00) or they would charge us storage fees. Still no contact from gm rep - our truck is still not fixed and still have not been able to get response from gm - other issues with this same truck have been at our expense: replaced rear window motors for window, air conditioning compressor, rear tail lights (twice) due to recall and lights not working - seat adjustment switches panel (twice) now this expense which will cost over 4372.00 if no other damage was done to truck by oil pressure not working.

Dt*: the contact stated when the rear right automatic window was opened, there was a groaning noise, followed closely by the window sliding open without warning. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where it was determined that the window motor needed replacement.

I own a 2002 trail blazer ext. I bought it brand new and I have had many many problems with it. I finally have had it and decided to see if the internet reported any similar problems and to my amazement there are many people out there with the same problems, but here is my story. I have had to have the brake lights electrical system on both sides replaced, molding around the license plate frame repaired, oxygen sensor replaced, sway bars replaced, windshield wiper motors replaced, left side passenger window motor broke twice, gas tank replaced because it was leaking gas and now it is back in the shop once again because the engine light came on and I had the onstar system do an engine analysis and they said something is wrong with my power train. I took it to the dealership and they call to tell me the gas tank is leaking gas and needs to be replaced. I told them I just had it done in october 2003. They told me I could not drive my vehicle. I see there was a recall done on some 2002 trailblazers due to a problem like this, but they say my vehicle is not one of them. Why? I am having the same problems with the gas tank. This is the second one. I am lucky I took it in or something may have happened if it is this dangerous. I would appreciate a response back. Thank you, kathy yates.
