When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 370
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

I PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR STARTED CLICKING. THE MIRROR WAS ATTEMPTING TO ROTATE TO THE EXTREME CAR SIDE OF THE MIRROR. USING THE REMOTE MIRROR CONTROL HAD NO EFFECT.THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE MIRROR MOTOR CONTINUED TO TRY TO MOVE THE MIRROR PAST THE LIMIT. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE CLICKING STOPPED AND THERE WAS AN ODOR OF PLASTIC BURNING. AFTER THE CLICKING STOPPED, NEITHER MIRROR MOVED. THE LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THE WIRING TO THE MOTOR HAD BURNED AND SHORTED THE MECHANISM. I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE DOOR. HAS THIS MALFUNCTION BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS?

I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN SEPTEMBER 2003. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER ERROR AND RESET THE COMPUTER. APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER SAID EACH TIME IT WAS EVAPORATION CAUSED BY NOT TIGHTENING GAS CAP APPROPRIATELY. DEALERSHIP CHANGED OWNERS AND NEW DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER ONCE (SAYING GAS CAP NOT TIGHTENED APPROPRIATELY), THE SECOND TIME FOUND A HOLE IN HOSE THAT COMES OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND REPAIRED IT. UPON THE THIRD TIME WITH NEW DEALER OCCURRING 12/01/2010, WE ARE TOLD THERE IS A CRACK IN THE NIPPLE OF THE GAS TANK AND WANT TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. I FEEL RECOURSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS DUE SINCE OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM EXISTED UPON PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE.

IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME ON HIGHWAY AND THEN COMING TO A FULL STOP AT AN EXIT; VEHICLE WILL SURGE AT LOW SPEED/SHUDDER AND WILL STOP RUNNING.

WENCH HOLDING SPARE TIRE ON 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT LOWER THE TIRE. HAVING A FLAT TIRE IS BAD ENOUGH BUT BEING TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT AND DESTROY THE WENCH MECHANISM IN ORDER GET THE SPARE TO PUT IT ON IN PLACE OF THE FLAT ONE WAS NOT GOOD NEWS. I TOLD AAA TO PROCEED AND CUT THE CABLE AND MECHANISM SO THEY COULD CHANGE MY FLAT TIRE. I FOUND THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT COST $137.00 TO REPLACE THE WENCH. THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2006/ IN OCTOBER, MY WIFE HAD A FLAT AND GUESS WHAT THE WENCH WOULD NOT LOWER THE SPARE AND AGAIN THE MECHANISM HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PUT MY SPARE ON MY WIFE'S 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SO SHE COULD CONTINUE HER TRIP TO IOWA. HER WENCH WAS REPLACED AT A COST $143.00. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AS IT HAPPENED WITH MY 2002 AND MY WIFE'S 2004. THERE IS NEVER A MENTION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE WENCH. TO FIND THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU HAVE A FLAT IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME TOM DISCOVER THE WENCH DOESN'T WORK. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GENERAL MOTORS ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL COMPLAINTS ARE REVIEWED BY SUPERVISORS. I SIMPLY REPLIED THAT IT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT I WOULD EVER HEAR FROM ANYONE AT GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
