I have an intermittent instrument gage failure, this causes the gage cluster to go out and unable to read vital engine operating specifications. This includes all gauges except for speedometer for now. This typical clears up within 5 mins and sooner if you pull car over and restart vehicle. This can happen at anytime and includes the lighting up of the following lights ABS,brake,security,seatbelt,SRS and all the other dashboard lights. This happens at different dates and times.

When I start my vehicle, the ABS and brakes lights go on, security light, and radio shuts off, or is on with no sound, the 4 wheel drive light flashes back and fourth between 4 wheel and 2 wheel drive, engine shuts off, while driving, then turns back on, this is the same problem all the recalled gm cars are having why is the 2002 trailblazer not part of the recall?

Gm ignition switch recall needs to be expanded. My mother purchased a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer new. Approximately 5,000 miles into ownership, the car would "drop" various electrical components while driving down the road. For instance, while driving, the engine would continue to run, but the wipers would stop working, HVAC would turn off, air bag and ABS warning lights would illuminate, etc. Dealer had no idea how to fix. Eventually they replaced the ignition switch and the problem was solved. To my knowledge, gm never issued a recall, but I'm sure the issue is not isolated. These switches were unreliable across several vehicle lines, please investigate gmt 360 platform well.

I have a 2002 chevy trailblazer that has had a host of problems to date. Now I am experiencing two more. Twice in the past few months I have been driving down the road with a 1/4 of a tank of gas or better when suddenly the car stalls, the gas gauge goes to empty. If I sit for a moment and then restart the car, the gas gauge goes back to 1/4 full or better. It is very frightening when the car just suddenly stalls out without warning. The other problem is the ABS system is now coming on when it should not. In the past two weeks I have had trouble bringing the car to a stop. The ABS comes on and disengages the brakes and the car skids ahead instead of stopping immediately. We had the same thing happen on our 2000 chevy silverado truck. It was fixed under recall, then started happening again after a couple of years. When we called chevy, they said they only fix under recall once. We were able to disengage the ABS. I have my service station looking now to see if we can disengage the ABS on the trailblazer too. These chevys are a real hazard!

Whenever braking and slowing down almost to a stop, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) will engage. Vehicle makes the typical ABS "chatter" sound when this occurs and the ABS engagement can be felt in the brake pedal. Road conditions are clean and dry; road surface is level and not bumpy. Only occurs when speed is below approximately 10mph (for instance, when coming to a stop at a stoplight, stopsign, or braking on a level driveway). As a result, braking distance is extended at the very time the vehicle should be coming to a stop -- eventually, a collision is inevitable. This started approximately 2-weeks ago, occurring rarely but now occurs about 30% of the time. Bringing the car to the local chevy dealer service department tomorrow morning (6/15/2010) to examine the problem. Note that the vehicle had a complete brake job at the same chevy dealer service department on 2/10/2010.

I had a problem with the engine slipping on my 2002 chevy trailblazer. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the 4 wheel drive button and replaced it. I am now having another problem with the transmission. When I start it up the brake light and ABS light stays on. When I put it into gear the engine keeps winding up and will not shift. I then have to pull over and turn the vehicle off then start it back up. This problem occurs on a daily basis.

The ABS check light remains on, which consumer is informed by the owner's manual that the anti-lock brakes may not operate if light is on. Owner will contact dealer for repair.

Abs/brake light illuminates in the dash and stays on, air conditioner/heating unit blower does not work. Contacted dealership 4 times within a 2 month time frame. Issue still not resolved. Dealership thought replacing body control module would correct the problem, no such luck.
