| Larger occuring issues which could effect safety include the vehicle randomly deciding to change from 2wd/a4wd/4wdh4wdl whenever it wants to under various weather/road conditions (including perfect weather and road surface) and occasional random ignition system failure this is not safe at all i have taken it to the chevy dearlership and they said it is a safety issue and that they need to do a recall on it they have had several rigs like this one come in for the same issue .. i believe that chevy gm needs to do a recall and have this fixed before i or someone else is injured or killed.. | |||

| Chevy trailblazer02 model, about 40k miles in 2005 the car died on us 2 times and we couldn't find out what was the reason we had to ask for jump and it kept going on normal, then suddenly after about a couple month i saw that the battery was leaking, and damaged some a/c pipe lines under the battery, had to replace the battery and wash and clean all under and around the battery to remove the acid stuff. after that the tailgate where the third brake light is, started making noises everytime i opened it, when checked i found that the part where the rear window is affixed to the tail gate where broke and the escrews are hanging by it self which made the rear window loose and standing out, and about a week ago now that i have 61k miles in 2009 the rear brake light went off, took it to dealer and they told me about the recall on those lights and so they fixed it, which when i picked up the suv and drove it with the family about 45 miles trip when suddenly it started blowing air and making a strong and deep noise sounded like a bus or 18 wheeler passing by, which made us cancel the trip and go back to dealer to find out what have they done to my car, take a guess, i was told that it's common on those chevy's the fan clutch to go out and that it really lasted long on my car and yes it's something normal that happens, but it cost me $950.00 to repair it yeah sure very normal, it seems like gm parts and labors now are costing just as the german cars. shouldn't gm make all those issues recall if it is known that are defective and are happening to most of the cars . *tr | |||

| Both rear window regulators went out at the same time not from wear hardly used them makes to much noise. four wheel drive differential locking hub locked in won't come out. electrical problems with radio, dash lights, heated seats just to name a few. idle not right stalls out while in park sometimes. nothing fixed yet have to save money because cost to much to go to dealer,it costs a 100.00 just to have them hook up to machine and then it says nothing is wrong but all this is wrong ,it does not compute. *tr | |||

| 1.- electrical system failure in the trailblazer ext 2002 125,278 miles. ac delco professional battery maintenance free 19001810 catalog 1810 (replacement 78-6yr) has green hydrometer color but a sense acid smell around. 2.- two business appointments were cancelled and no way to go out with the car. i called the dealership for assistance friday 18, 7:30 p.m. and leave a voicemail. the dealer return the phone call saturday 19, 7:30 a.m. later i call back 9:00 a.m. and ask them what they think about and where to start...with the battery?? but they said that they are booked and not able to take any other appointment until monday....just in case how much would be.. 75 $ plus labor 25 $ total around 100 $. consequences: two potential business opportunities were lost as well as the opportunity of car enjoyment and freedom. battery replaced $ 80.99. acid leaks through the car. request friend help for time to buy, deliver and replace the battery at home. the ac delco web site said that the battery that comes with a gm vehicle is covered by the limited warranty of three years or 36,000 miles it is really not fair how a battery can lose it positive terminal itself and why consumer is not covered against this defect that involve time and money as well as opportunities and major accidents. 3.- saturday 19, 10 a.m. i called a friend to find another battery. before that we take out the ac delco battery from the car the positive terminal was completely separated from the case and acid was leaking...it is unbelievable. the ac delco battery has a green hydrometer indication. the battery was replaced with another brand expenses of $ 80.99 without consideration of timing, driving and gas used by my friend and mine to replaced the ac delco battery that had positive terminal completely separated . *jb | |||
