2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY/WIPER

GOT INTO VEHICLE AS IT WAS PARKED. IT HAD RAINED THAT DAY SO AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, I TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON BY ROTATING THE SWITCH BACKWARDS TOWARDS ME AND RELEASING. TYPICALLY THIS WILL CAUSE THE WIPERS TO TURN ON, COMPLETE ONE SWIPE UP AND DOWN AND THEN TURN OFF. ON THIS DAY, THE WIPERS STAYED ON LOW SPEED. I TRIED TURNING THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, I PULLED THE FUSE. TWO DAYS LATER, I PUT THE FUSE BACK IN. THE WIPERS REMAIN OFF UNLESS I TURN THEM ON, THEN THEY WILL STAY ON AND THE CYCLE REPEATS. I NOTICED GM ISSUED A RECALL (# 41051) THAT DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING. I CALLED GM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THE RECALL 41051. I THEN DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE VEHICLE OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE AND THEY WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THEIR VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL 41051. I ASKED WHY MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL 41051 AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT RECALL 41051 STATES THERE ARE 581394 POTENTIAL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND THE VEHICLE AFFECTED IS THE 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, NO OTHER YEARS ARE LISTED. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, GM SOLD ONLY 261334 TRAILBLAZERS IN 2003. I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS RECALLED VEHICLES BUT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL 41051. SOMETHING ISN'T ADDING UP HERE.

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED OPERATING WHILE THE SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. THE WIPERS COULD NOT BE SHUT OFF AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE SWITCH TO OFF AND ON POSITIONS. UPON CONTACTING CHEVROLET RECALL NUMBER AND REFERENCING NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 04V046000, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. CONFUSION COMES IN THAT THE VEHICLE RECALL SPECIFIES 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND MAKES NO REFERENCE TO SPECIFICS ABOUT VIN NUMBER THAT CHEVROLET MAKES THE STATEMENT THAT VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED FOR RECALL. JUST DOES NOT PASS THE EYE OR SMELL TEST FOR COMMON SENSE!!!!!

VEHICLES WIPER MOTOR DOES NOT TURN OFF.THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULL THE FUSE. DEALER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE THE PROPER VIN NUMBER. RECALL # 41051. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE MEMBER TOLD ME TO NOTIFY NHTSA.

THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY TRUCK IS AN ELECTRIC PROBLEM INVOLVING THE LIGHT RELAYS, WHICH I AD TO REPLACE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THEM BEING DAMAGED, LEAVING ME WITHOUT LIGHTS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT I DRIVE AT NIGHT OFTEN AND I AM IN DANGER WHEN I HAVE THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF. I DID RESEARCH ON SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE SAME-VEHICLE-OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES.

AFTER PUTTING THE DRIVERS WINDOW DOWN AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU IT WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. THIS WAS IN JANUARY, VERY COLD IN MICHIGAN. DEALER SAID MOISTURE MUST HAVE GOTTEN INTO SWITCH AND THE WHOLE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF THAT MEANS THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED WHEN IT WAS RAINING, HE SAID YES THEY CAN BUT FOR SOME REASON GM HAS A LOT OF DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW SWITCHES GOING BAD ON THE TRAILBLAZERS. THE COST TO HAVE IT REPLACED WAS $430 WHICH WE PAID SEEING HOW ONLY THE DEALER CAN PROGRAM THE NEW SWITCH. IT'S NOW ONE YEAR LATER AND THE SAME SWITCH HAS GONE BAD AGAIN, I CALLED THE DEALER BUT WERE OVER THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. IT WILL COST ANOTHER $430 TO REPLACE AGAIN.

2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LX. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH REAR WINDOW AND REPLACEMENT *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR WINDOW WAS REPLACED FOUR TIMES. THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT A REAR WINDOW, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE IT AND CHEVROLET CORPORATE REFUSED TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST. IN MARCH 2003, THE COWLING ABOVE THE REAR WINDOW BECAME DISPLACED OF ITS OWN ACCORD AND A SHORT TIME LATER, THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED UPON IT BEING OPENED. ROUGHLY, THREE AND HALF YEARS LATER, THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO CRACKS IN THE WINDOW, AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT IMPACT TO THE WINDOW. THE CONSUMER STATED HE MERELY OPENED IT, AND IT SHATTERED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW AGAIN, BUT AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE, AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IN JANUARY 2011, THE WINDOW ONCE AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED UPON IT BEING OPENED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, HE WOULD BE CHARGED FULL PRICE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW.

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AFTER AN AFTERNOON SHOWER. I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY ARE STATING THAT THERE IS NO SUCH RECALL FOR MY VIN NUMBER. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS NO SUCH RECALL FOR A 2003 TRAILBLAZER. MY WISH IS THAT THE NHTSA WOULD FORCE CHEVY TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THE PROBLEM, OR AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE IDEA THAT THIS IS LIMITED TO SOME 2003 LTS, BUT NOT OTHERS IS RATHER ODD TO ME. FOR THE MANF. TO SAY THAT NO SUCH RECALL EXIST IS RATHER ODD TO ME. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT PURPOSE OR LEGAL REACH OF THE NHTSA. I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY COULD/WILL FORCE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION FOR THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME COMPLAINT, AND THE MANF. BLANTENT REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE SAID ISSUE.

I HAVE BOUGHT MANY CHEVY VEHICLES BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IM HAVING WITH THIS TRUCK IM NOT SURE I WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER. LAST YEAR MY TRANSMISSION WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALSO SAME WAS WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS YEAR I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WIPERS DURING RAIN STORM I WENT TO TURN THEM ON AND NOTHING. I COULDNT SEE SO I HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE RAIN HAD LET UP(2HRS LATER). I AM JUST SPEECHLESS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE "RECALLS". IT SEEMS THAT MYSELF NOR ANYONE I KNOW EVER FALLS ON THESE LISTS, YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE MONEY WE ARE PAYING TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES THAT SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY KEEEP OUR BUSINESS.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT .AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS UNTIL ALL OF THE CONSUMERS ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO HOLD THEIRSELFS LIABLE FOR THESE ISSUES ,BUT PEOPLE SPEND PRETTY PENNIES OUT OF POCKET TO PURCHASE VEHICLES FROM THESE MANUFACTURERS TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AFTER JUST A SHORT WHILE OF OWNING THESE . I HAVE RESEARCHED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE , AND I AM HAVING ALL THE ABOVE LISTED ISSUES , AND DO NOT WISH TO SPEND LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO PAY FOR THESE COST CONSIDERING I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE . I JUST SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTIVE ABOUT THESE COMPLAINTS ,AND HAVE SET UP AN APPOINMENT TO PAY A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS , BUT AM HOPING THAT I CAN GET CLOSURE ON THESE ISSUES WITHOUT PAYING BIG EXPENSES. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE WILL FOLLOW SUIT AND KEEP INPUTTING YOUR COMPLAINTS UNTIL THEY ARE RESOLVED. MY VEHICLE ISSUES ARE THE FAN CLUTCH NEEDS REPLACED, MY GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY,JUST REPLACED MY SERPINTINE BELT THIS MORNING, MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS (BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL) HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES OVER TWO MONTHS, AND ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON , SOMETHING DOESNT SEEM RIGHT UNDERNEATH THIS VEHICLE EITHER.

SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT STAY IN POSITION MEMORIZED FOR DRIVER. VERY UNSAFE WHEN YOU GO TO CHANGE LANES AND THE MIRRORS ARE POINTING TO THE SKY OR GROUND. THE DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE REMOTES, BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION. DRIVER MUST ADJUST MIRRORS EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE IF THERE IS A TEMPERATURE CHANGE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 5.5 YEARS WITH THIS VEHICLE. OTHER DRIVERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE WITH TRAILBLAZER. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? WHY HASN'T CHEVROLET FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX THIS?
