As for Chevrolet's customer service; I haven't had much luck with them either. I contacted them two days ago and have yet to hear a word back from them.
My advice to anyone considering a trailblazer or any GM vehicle is to reconsider.
I wouldn't buy that diagnosis for one minute. They're full of it my friend.
My 2002 TrailBlazer's transmission failed during a trip to the mountains when the vehicle only had 9,000 miles on it, so I can certainly identify with what you're experiencing at the moment. That was my last GM SUV. My previous SUV, a 1999 Blazer also purchased new, was overall a better vehicle from a reliability standpoint. The transmission in the 1999 Blazer also started slipping some at about 20,000 miles on the odometer. Admittedly, the only time it seemed to do it was after driving it for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. But this was still unacceptable to me. I traded it in on the 2002 TrailBlazer LTZ and went through the most 'auto-related' stressful period of my entire life.

BTW, or 02 TB has been one of the best vehicles we have ever owned, and our Chevrolet dealer service also.
Thanks.
I would suggest this to your dealer. Secondly, I am from NJ were the lemon laws are pretty strict. I called my local office and they suggested contacting GM directly, which I did, by certified mail, being very explicit in my details, including the name of the dealer and how long they have had the truck. You have to protect your behind. Keep records of all occurences and times you brought the truck in for the same problem.
Believe me, I know what your going threw. The second time the truck stalled I had my two kids with me and I just made it over railroad tracks! Thank God no train was coming, but you have to think, what if.
Good luck!
Engine start stoling now and then, few weeks later engine dyed on the highway 65MPH while towing the boat! Imediately lost of power stering, power breaks! I managed to stop and after few atempt started again and get lackily get home with constant power jump and few stoling.

After that no more stoling but: 1 week later while changing the speed of the ac/heating fan it stop working and the same moment hapen foloving: ABS light-on;brake light-on;4WD light-on; cruise control not working; ilumination of driver door butons not working; unable to change the direction of air blow. NOW - after 10 -20 minutes of driving everything goes to normal until i stop and restart the car!!!??? I have been in service with this problem about 5 times, spent $1,250 (replaced 1 computer module)and theproblem is stil there???!!!
Thas enyone have any idea what to doo? Please and Thank you.

Anyway, I have a 2002 TB LT so it seems this whinning noise will occur on any model. If someone else has a resolution or this similar noise problem I hope they post it also.
And it only does it when the weather gets colder.
Let me know what you find out.
I also had a problem with the fan control on my A/C. It started with the low speeds and ended with only the number 5 speed working. I finally had a mechanic friend help trace the problem back to a resistor located behind/under the glove box. The entire panel had pretty much fried. I replaced it with a new factory part (which they had redesigned, which tells me they knew of this problem)and now it's working fine, on all speeds.
If anyone can help with the headlamp problem I'd greatly appreciate.
thanks
thanks
My opinion is that there's a dissimilar metal problem with the factory connectors which causes corrosion, which leads to resistance, which of course leads to heat.
thanks!
