The brake lights have burned out in the last 3 mos. 3 different times. The passenger side brake light seems to go out every month. I was complaining about the passenger seat belt locking up but thought I was just doing it wrong. After reading other complaints I noticed that it is a common occurrence. I have had the trail blazer in the shop for the noise under the front when you hit a bump. They can't seem to find the cause of the noise. The back gate would pop open just driving down the road. Dealer adjusted the latching hook. Has not done it since. Now after doing some research I have found that there are 8 recalls on this vehicle and I have just received 2 notices. This is a bit unnerving.

The brake lights on my 2002 chevy trailblazer recently stopped working. The dealer replaced/repaired them at no cost. Discovered through an internet user group this problem has occurred in many trailblazers. Would like to log my complaint mileage = 30k in-service - feb-2002.
I have had numerous of problems with my 2002 trailblazer. I have had to replace my rear tail light housing 3 times in the last year. I have also had to replace the clutch fan 3 times within 3 months. My hood keeps squeaking and has to be readjusted every other month. My instrument panel has gone out twice. The alarm also works when it wants to and the passenger side seat belt always locks up. On 6/13/03 it left finally left me stranded on the side of the road on the way to california. I live in arizona and was traveling with my wife, mother-in-law and our 3 year old daughter. I had to pay for a rental car and had to submit to gm to reimburse me for the rental car. By reading all the complaints on these 2002 trailblazers I think we should all get together and do a class act law suit towards gm. E-mail me with your thoughts. [email protected].
I bought a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer lt new about 10 months ago the truck has been in for service many times for different things as for seatbelt looking up and wont release,brake lights failing,derectionals that blowout every few days,radio/cd player wasnt working,leakage of water everytime it rained etc etc.. Anyways I just took it back on 6-9-03 for seatbelt to be done again and for the derectional that failed again and also to have truck inspected I picked it up later that day and found that the inspection sticker had a wrong VIN # on it and that other work was done I left there knowing they said they dont know why the light in derectional keeps failing but they did change the bulbs { this is everytime I bring it this is all they do to fix it} on 6-10-03 the derectional wasnt working again my husband changed the light bulb this time due to the fact it takes me almost 40 mins to get to dealership .....I will be going to the dealership to ask for a copy of the history on truck and will be getting a lawyer involved and also contact the dealers commintion and channel 12 on this matter .....I payed almost 30,000 for a truck that is not worth it and I am a very unhappy costumer ..
Left rear brake light shorted out requiring replacement of "circuit board". Service manager indicated this was occuring frequently. Ak
Left brake light shorted out at 29,000 miles. Service manager at dealership had indicated that this was very common in 2002 trailblazer. If I didn't have someone behind me nice enough to tell me, it could have been a problem. Dealer indicated some type of circuit board needed to be replaced.
Left rear brake light and the right rear brake light have gone out 2 times in less than 1 year requiring the bulb to be changed.
Have had numerous promblems:front passenger seat belt tightens on passenger will not release until taken off.brake lights have been worked on 5 times since SUV was purchased in 2002.have seen numerous trailblazers on the road with the same promblem. I believe there is a promblem !!!!
The head lights worked intermittently.
Both left and right brake lights failed to operate. Vehicle was bought new 7.5 months ago and has about 8000 miles. Found the fuses good and the light bulb filaments good. While checking the light bulbs, I discovered that moving them slightly in the out direction, the lights would come on. Upon examination, it appears the metal connection tabs within light socket and/or the bulb wire- type connections may have been damaged by heat. There is some discoloration on both. Although the bulbs are not burned out, they will not work when fully seated into the socket - there is no electrical connection. They do work when pulled slightly out. I installed new bulbs which do work when fully seated. I now wonder how long it will be before this problem occurs again. I believe there may a design defect with either the socket or the bulb, where heat buildup in the connection was not taken into account.
Instrument panel lights burned out. The left rear door handle broke. The windshield wiper and washer came on and could not be turned off. The headlights failed. The rear hatch pull strap broke. *ak *nlm no longer owns vehicle.
My side mirrors do not adjust properly, molding around the windshield comes out, the service engine soon light comes on, seat belt light comes on. Many attempts have been made and I get no cooperation from chevrolet.
Front right headlight blown for 2nd time. Ts
Failure occurred in traffic in st. Louis, mo. A large truck following behind had to brake abruptly to avoid rear ending my vehicle. The other driver was kind enough to tell me that my brake lights were not working. I took the vehicle to the dealership and had them repaired. The service man told me that they have had to replace several of the switches in the steering column. I believe the company has a defective part if the service people are noticint a trend. I contacted cheverolet and the "started a file".
