2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer brakes complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 55 of 55, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brakes pulsate when applied. Dealer found rear brake rotors out of round and resurfaced rear brake rotors.
While driving with cruise control engaged at 40 MPH brakes engaged without being depressed when vehicle went through a puddle of water. In normal driving condition intermittently when brakes are depressed vehicle hesitates to stop. This results in extended stopping distance. Dealership cannot duplicate the problem. Cause unknown.
Brakes pads are not worn but rotors are warped. Dealer and manufacturer have been contacted.
4 wheel drive failure light on dash board and "4 wheel drive full" and "4 wheel drive low" light keep flashing and when I placed truck in park and shut off truck, it lunged backward. Gas tank wouldn't take gas and the last time it spit gas out and out onto pavement. Brakes don't seem to stop very well and I now have a pulsating feeling under my foot when I brake.
In my 2002 chevrolet trailblazer, at approximately five MPH, approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and after slowing down to approximately one MPH, the vehicle continued to roll thru the stop sign, across 4 lanes of traffic and finally came to a stop when it hit the curb on the opposite side of the intersection. The vehicle was subsequently hit by a large truck. There were no injuries. Had it not been for the curb, the vehicle would not have stopped. After having the vehicle towed to the nearest chevy service facility, the service manager told me that this was an inherent behavior with anti-lock brake systems. I tend to agree with him as my 2000 chevy silverado had demonstrated the same behavior. There were no apparent leaks in the system and the master cyclinder was full. After the accident, the vehicle was started and the brake pedal continued to go all the way to the floor while the vehicle was in park. The service facility was not able to reproduce the behavior the next morning and referred me to gm customer service where a case has been filed.
First let me tell you that we are die hard chevy customers. We still own my '82 chevy silverado pick up and it's running fine. Last may we traded in our little '97 cavalier that we had taken on numerous trips and pretty much trouble free the five years we owned her. Then we bought the '02 trail blazer. Haven't gone on too many trips with him yet, but except for one performance flaw that we have discovered that is causing us concern we like the car so far. The concern comes when we have to brake suddenly to avoid a hazard in the road. The car tends to become squirrelie and feels as though it is going to flip over. Rather frightening when you need to react quickly and suddenly are faced with this unsettling situation. Is there others who are experiancing the same problem with their trail blazers?
