Pretty said to know that chevrolet makes all this makes all this money and wont reopen their recalls when they didn't replace parts on vehicles to begin with maybe next time should have went foreign instead of american for all these years.
2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer visibility complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 106, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I feel that even if you have had a recall issue once and the situation continues to happen then it needs to be fixed until the problem is solved I have contact gm several time and nothing has been done to ratify my problem with the windshield wipers and the 4 wheel drive and several other recall issues this is sad I say we need a class action law suit I am not one to take legal action but for people that have this kind of money and to not fix their problem that they put out on the roads for us to drive safely is shameful.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. While starting the vehicle, both front windshield wipers engaged independently. The contact stated that the wipers would not turn off as windshield wiper fluid sprayed over the window, obstructing the contacts view of the roadway. The failure occurred sporadically and the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact inquired about the federal safety agency campaign id number: 04v046000 (visibility: windshield wiper/washer). The dealer had no information in regards to the recall and the vehicle was taken to a second dealer where she was advised that the recall was closed. She contacted the manufacturer and they advised her that they would get back with her. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 70,500.
2002 chevy trailblazer exterior mirrors will not hold their adjustment settings. The local dealer has worked on this problem numerous times and can't seem to find or fix the problem. The exterior mirrors will usually end up pointing down as I drive the vehicle. I believe that this can be a safety problem as they readjust them selves in traffic. Can you help the owners of this particular model?
Windshield wipers (equipped w/rainsense automatic moisture sensitive wipers) operate erratically when set to intermittent mode. They cease operation mid-windshield and operate in a very choppy fashion when set to any setting besides full-on. This problem started occurring sporadically less than 1-month ago and now occurs whenever the wipers are turned on. Bringing the car to the local chevy dealer service department tomorrow morning (6/15/2010) to fix the problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact started the ignition. The automatic driver side window was nonfunctional when activated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The failure was an electrical issue. The vehicle remained at the authorized dealer for an extended period of four months in which there was no sufficient remedy for the failure. The vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 67,000.
Wiper motor was recalled for hestation but still does the same thing after being fixed replaced fan clutch 2008 transmission shifts/hesitates from 1st to 2nd cruise control stopped working when the tranny problem started.
The 2002 trailblazer had a recall on the windshield wiper motor and the possibility of damage that water inside the motor could cause. The correction was performed by plugging a hole in the motor. My vehicle was also under a gmpp extended warranty. Shortly later, the wipers began to malfunction while on intermittent. They stutter and sometimes stop in mid stroke, unless on high speed. I researched the internet and found numerous similar complaints that were caused by water damage that had occurred. I inquired at the dealer about correcting and they stated that since the recall had been performed, they could repair the unit only if I paid for the repairs. The estimated cost was around $350. Additional internet research indicates numerous other complaints that have been corrected by opening the wiper motor and cleaning the contacts - a result of water damage, obviously caused even though the recall. I believe chevrolet should recall this vehicle and replace the wiper motor rather than plug the hole as they did originally. I also believe chevrolet knew their original recall (plugging the hole) would not last and motors would fail at a later time. Updated 04/12/10
I have to report a failed recall campaign 04v046000 on my 2002 trailblazer. My trailblazer had the recall performed on 10-26-04 concerning a problem of wipers stopping mid stroke. I don't drive that car that often, and when I do, it is most likely raining. Well, the stopping mid stroke is again occurring. The dealer is not willing to do anything because the recall campaign has already been executed. It did not matter that the recall condition still exists.
Purchased new 2002 trailblazer ltz which has had this problem since 2005. Driver & passenger mirrors position themselves erratically at every ignition and sometimes while driving. A constant twitching on the passenger side also occurs while driving. It is very dangerous when mirrors are not positioned correctly once driving. Chevrolet dealer failed to find the fault and reprogrammed twice. No parts have been replaced as they have now idea what the problem is or how to fix it. This seems to be a common problem, however.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that the key fob sensor failed to open the power doors. This presents a hazard because there is no manual key entry for the doors. The failure occurs in cold weather conditions. The dealer stated that the repair was under warranty and will be repaired. They will replace the sensor and check the wiring in the vehicle. The failure mileage was 39,200 and current mileage was 39,620. Updated 03/09/09. *lj the rear wiper was inopertive. Updated 03/12/09.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. In march of 2008, the rear hatch glass suddenly shattered. The hatch had just been in use prior to the failure. The contact heard a popping sound and realized that the glass shattered outward all over her yard and driveway. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the repair would cost $1,200. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and, with the assistance of her insurance company, the glass was repaired. In september of 2008, she took the vehicle to the dealer because the rear windshield wiper malfunctioned. The dealer replaced the wiper motor. In december of 2008, she took the vehicle to a dealer because the tailgate was closing hard, grinding progressively worse, and the rear windshield wiper would still not work. The dealer repaired the failures; however, the wiper still malfunctioned. In january of 2009, the shattered rear hatch failure occurred again. The contact stated that no one touched the vehicle for at least three hours before the glass shattered. She took the vehicle to another dealer and they stated that it was normal wear and tear; therefore, they could not assist. The dealer also cited that there was poor terminal tension in the liftgate. The manufacturer had not been notified. The contact had photos of the shattered glass. The current mileage was approximately 77,000 and failure mileage was 68,563.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving approximately 75 MPH in rainy weather conditions, the windshield wipers failed to operate properly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the control module failed. The vehicle was repaired. There were no prior recall defect repairs made to the vehicle. However, the manufacturer database indicated that the vehicle had been previously repaired for the federal safety agency campaign id number 04v046000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer); therefore, they refused to provide reimbursement for the repair. The failure mileage was 83,000 and current mileage was 87,000.
The mirrors on this vehicle are supposed to have a recall between drivers but every time I put the key in they shift to some other position. Never the right one, always excessive clicking and out of position.
My vehicle is a 2002 trailblazer ltz. It has the "memory" mirror option which features memory set options for driver 1 and driver 2, as well as rearview curb assistance (the mirrors will tilt down to your setting to help parallel park when in reverse). This option worked great for a while. Then, the mirrors started acting erratically. They would click excessively, tilt towards the sky or down at the ground. The mirrors quit holding their memory, and every time I got into the vehicle, I would have to reset the mirrors. The worrisome part of this is that the mirrors will not hold the reset either and while driving, the mirrors moved. I drive the interstate every day and when I checked the mirror to change lanes, found myself looking up at the clouds or down at the road. This is a serious safety issue!. (I won't even factor in the annoyance aspect.) my 17 year old doesn't understand why I won't teach her to drive in the "newer" car and I explained that I actually feel like she's safer, in the 96 saturn coupe, because the mirrors are reliable. I've seen this complaint on several sites and I seriously have to wonder why there has been no recall on something that is fundamentally a safety issue.
The side mirrors which have memory recall have never worked properly. They set themselves to different positions increasing the risk of collision due to reliance on the mirrors before changing lanes, etc.
Back window exploded while vehicle was parked.
My 2002 chevy trailblazer was recalled in 2005 for a wiper motor defect. The defect was supposed to be fixed. The wipers now exhibit the same problems as stated in the recall. I called gm and they will not agree to replace the wiper motor. The federal safety agency campaign id number : 04v046000.
Remotes quit working, liftgate would not open, rear wiper not working. I had this issue back in may '05 and replaced engate module. Same issues occurring again. I am sure I will have to replace engate module again.
Wiper stutter and stop completely without warning while in intermittent mode.
Windshield wiper stops working has to be shut off and restarted. Has been recalled but chevy said the they have closed the claims on this recall #04v046000 and will not replace the motor.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact wanted to know why no one has contacted him in regards to the complaint that he filed a year ago. The original complaint was in reference to recall number 10169395 (visibility:windshield wipers). Chevrolet informed him that his complaint file was closed and issued him a check for $240. If he cashed the check, that would mean the issue was resolved and he was satisfied with the results. The contact did not cash the check. The failure mileage was 47,000 and current mileage was 57,000.
Side mirrors no longer have memory of last position. I will find the mirrors pointing in different directions every time I start my vehicle. Every itme I have to reajust both outside mirrors to the correct position.
2002 chevrolet trailblazer with problems with car radio customer wants reimbursement for repairs**cc some type of electrical problem caused a loud pop to come through the speakers. The caused the radio to short out and the speakers to blow. The radio and speakers had been replaced several times. The amplifier also had to be replaced. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on numerous occasions but they have been unable to correct the problem. The middle seat belt in the second row locked up as soon as it was fastened into the buckle. When the defroster was used the consumer heard a clicking noise. The dealer replaced the mode actuator and mode valve per tsb 04-01-38-002. The quarter panel on the roof seam sealer cracked and was rusted. The pull down strap on the rear hatch broke. The sway bar broke. A grinding noise was heard coming from the left front wheel when making sharp left turn. The dealer determined that suspension was misaligned and caused shield to touch rotor. The instrument cluster gauge was inoperative. The rear wiper did not touch the rear windshield. There was a high pitched noise coming from the right side tire whenever in motion. The dealer indicated it was improperly sealed.
Windshield wiper module: there have been multiple recalls on the windshield wiper systems on chevy trailblazers (three on my vehicle). My windshield wiper crawls to a stop when set on high speed in heavy rain, making it difficult to see and dangerous to drive. I have been told by the dealer that I need to replace the windshield wiper module at a cost of $350+ because it has a short in it, but it is not covered under the recall. This is a safety issue with a known defective part, yet the manufacturer is refusing to replace or repair the defect. Windshield wiper modules are closed systems and if mine has a short in it, it is because the manufacturer was faulty and moisture was allowed to get in.
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.
My windshield wiper motor seems to stall causing interrupted operation. This was the subject of a recall in 2004 and I had the vehicle serviced at that time in accordance with the recall. But the problem seems to have occurred again.
I own a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer ltz, purchased brand new in the spring of 2002. In the early part of 2003, my side view mirrors, which are equipped to have memory options such as reverse curbview assist, started malfunctioning. The mirrors would no longer hold their memory, resulting in an adjustment to both mirrors every time I got in the car. Sometimes the mirrors would appear to get stuck and make a clicking noise. Dangerously, sometimes I would look to change lanes and realize my mirrors were not correct--they might be pointing up at the sky or down at the ground. Eventually, I quit using the reverse curbview assist option (where the mirrors tilt down to help to parallel park when in reverse) because I was hoping that not moving the mirrors at all would help. The local dealership replaced the actuators in 2003 and reset the transmitter recently on 9/20/06. This helped the memory mirrors for some time. But now, I am bringing the car into the dealership for the third time for the same problem on 12/13/06--one or both mirrors will not hold their memory and I have to readjust them. The dealership is lost as to how to fix the problem and does not acknowledge this as a prevalent problem, although I have printed out numerous complaints about the mirrors found on-line from consumers. I am not sure if the problem is computer related or parts related, but obviously replacing parts (the actuators) did not permanently fix this problem. This is a safety issue when you expect your mirrors to be in the correct position for lane changing and they are not; it is also an extreme annoyance for what is supposed to be a nice SUV with a nice price tag.
Dt*: the contact stated while parked the driver side seat belt locked up and would not retract. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer for the federal safety agency recall, # 04v201000 regarding seat belts. After a year, the same issue recurred. Updated 11/16/06. *jb the air bag light illuminated. The shifter would stick when trying to move it from park to drive. The moonroof would not close
Dt*: the contact stated while having a light bulb changed at the dealership, a recall was found on the windshield wiper/washer, #04v046000. Although no problems were reported, the dealer inspected the part. After the inspection the wiper/washer would turn on and off on its own intermittently. The vehicle was returned to the dealer. Updated 10/16/2006 - the wiper cover shorted and the switch had an open circuit.
