Tl* the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving 30 MPH, the headlights failed and turned off independently. When the contact exited the vehicle, the locks independently engaged and locked the contact out. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for that incident. Later, the electrical components on the front driver's side door, including the side view mirror, power window, and power lock switches, failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver's door master power window switch module failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer rebooted the module as a temporary repair, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer and pay for the repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 195,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Left rear door latch on 2002 chevrolet trailblazer ls is corroded. There is a recall on the ext but doesn't pertain to the ls. I can't shut my door because the latch won't hook.I opened the door and could not shut it after that because it wouldn't latch. Have not bee able to locate part at a reasonable price so have not been able to fix it yet. Contacted dealership and they looked up recalls but couldn't help us cause our VIN number isn't covered.

Two years ago the liftgate when closing would not lock and remote lock key fob failed to work. Dashlight indicated that tailgate was ajar and dome lights remained on. In the last year the controls on the driver' s door quit working. The power locks, windows, and side mirror controls did not work. Rear defroster will not work. No parts have been replaced because dealerships will not do it for free. I could not afford to fix this problem. Very frustrating.....first new vehicle, and it will be my one and only chevrolet. I will no longer purchase from gm due to their lack of willingness to fix a problem that they were aware existed in many vehicles.

I live in southwest ohio and I own a 2002 trailblazer. I noticed that in december of 2006, my rear windshield wiper would not function when turned on. Shortly thereafter, we had our first frost and I noticed that the rear defogger/defroster was not working. It is now nearly 0 degrees outside and even if I clean the window with a scraper, it still frosts up while driving. I have looked for a fuse to replace, but find none for the rear defrost, and the one for the rear wiper is fine. Just yesterday, I picked up some large items at a home improvement store and was unable to unlock the rear gate, I tried to use the button on my remote, to which the car no longer responds, even with new battery, I tried to unlock it from the driver side controls with the car off and turned on, but nothing happened. So there me and my pregnant wife were standing in zero temperature weather with three large items on a cart and nowhere to go with them. We ended up paying somebody to haul them to our house.

The front door controls are inoperable!! No windows, no locks, can't use my remote lock and alarm. The part is $200 and only available at a dealership. I tried to get one from a junk yard, and was told they have no trailblazer doors because of this very problem. I also called several dealerships in the area, and they are fully aware of this problem also, and don't understand why it hasn't been recalled. Everyone wants to diagnose the problem, and I cannot afford the many hours they want to spend on my 2002 vehicle. I have already had to replace the front wheel bearings (at $400 each just for parts), which I should not have had to do yet!!! If the dealerships and junkyards are aware of my door problem, why aren't you? Not being able to roll down my windows or use my alarm are definitely issues in my book!!!

Have had many of the problems I read on posted complaints: new engine required within nine months-one year of owning new vehicle, inside driver door panel replaced three times, change oil and service engine lights staying on, hood not closing properly, back glass needing replacement, fabric problems in back seat, etc., etc. And this morning it is a $200 problem with the headlight switch. Too many things to even remember or name, but chevy has a pretty thick file on me and my vehicle.

While attempting to change from the outside (slow) lane on interstate 35 a speeding car attempted to pass me. I swerved back into my lane, note; this was not a severe steering maneuver. The 2002 trailblazer immediately rocked and went into a roll. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance carrier. 1. None of the air bags deployed, front nor side. 2. The locked drivers side door opened up on impact. 3. The SUV roll occurred with out severe over steering.
