2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer electrical complaints
Page 7 of 7: complaints 161 to 181 of 181, newest first, as owners wrote them.
For a vehicle that is only 18 months old, I had to replace the passenger side headlamp 4 times already. Yet no one agrees that there could possibly be a short in the electrical system causing the problem. I can't see 4 different sets of bulb being bad.
The brake lights shorted out for the third time. The dealer was contacted.
The driver side brake light failed. The dealership stated the problem was caused by a short.
The light on the 4 wheel drive knob is always jumping back and forth from 2 wd to 4 wd . The service 4 wheel drive light came on several times. The vehicle was taken to my chevrolet dealership and it took them 5 days to figure out the service 4 wheel drive light was due to the ignition? My ignition does not start properly anymore. The lights on the 4 wd knob still blink. I do not know if the vehicle is safe. The dealership claims it is safe?
Engine stall - truck stalled and all lighting and components went dead while slow to stop at an intersection. The truck could not be re-started. After 10 minutes, the truck started again and was able to drive on. Subsequent attempts to start the truck failed resulting in it being towed to the dealer. The dealer had to replace one of the computers in the truck and it has been fine ever since. I heard about the investigation for the envoy and bravada but not the trailblazer. My truck is a trailblazer and did experience the same problems as the two sister trucks that share the same mechanicals.

On 10/25/2002 my car completely shut down and it would not start for me at all.
