Twice during driving at night once I am not sure when it blew. 4. The front suspension is having problems and I believe may be a recall issue. It makes loud noise like its cracking or breaking, while driving.

#1. On 2 occasions last week, my trailblazer suddenly lost most of its power, and the engine light reduced engine power came on! I pulled over, cut the car off, then restarted it, and was able to drive home. #2. The seat belts on the front passenger and rear right sides lock up tightly the moment you buckle up. It locks up so tightly that you cannot move if you wanted. These problems showed while driving on miami streets. #3. On 2 or 3 occasions a strong smell of gasoline came into the car while driving. The smell seemed to be coming from inside the back of the car, but I was unable to locate any gasoline back there. On another occasion, I smelled gas outside in the area of gas tank.

Since I've owned this vehicle "new", I've replaced the drive lights three times for burned cables also, the passenger side seatbelts locks while in motion. My local dealer informed me that, that was typical of the passenger safety device.....as a passenger, once you set down and put the seatbelt on, it locks, holding you too tight, and virtually choking the passenger!! All other seatbelts works fine. And still functions the same to this day.

The 2nd row center seat belt retract has locked into place the seat belt is fully reeled in and will not unlock. I researched this for the last 24 hours and come to find out hundreds of people are having the same issue with the middle seat in 2nd row not just the front passenger of chevy trailblazers 2002-2004 that was recalled previously. Either way this is a massive safety issue! Seat belts are meant to last 30+ year before they even show any kind of wear and tear, not 11 years. Please issue the recall so we can safely strap our children into the back seat and not have to worry if the seat belt is going to maintain its function or not. Our children's lives are at stake here.

Passenger seat belt mechanism locks during normal driving conditions. I brought this to 2 different dealers on 1/25/06 and 1/13/07. Both dealers could not recreate the problem. I called chevrolet customer service which acknowledged a seatbelt recall on 02 trailblazers but claimed it does not cover my VIN. Chevy needs to extends this recall before serious injury occurs.
