Also, the car seems to have other problems with memory. For example, hit seat reminder for driver 1 and 2. Sometimes the seat moves and other times it does nothing.
Finally, at just over 50K I had to replace the water pump. Rub on that one was GM dealer in Minnesota would not help despite an On-star call. Chysler dealer fixed it in 4 hours so our vacation could continue. GM should not wonder why they are losing market share and will eventually go away. Customer service. You simply do not ever leave a customer stranded in below zero weather and tell them you can't look at a roadside problem. Shame on GM.
Thanks

There actually is a California smog advisory from May 2002 that addresses this(see below) Unfortunately, it appears all the "Professional's" I dealt with had no clue.

I'm new to all this but need help. I have a 2002 Trailblazer LTZ that I purchased new off the lot. For 2 and a half years it was the perfect vehicle, and until recently, made me very happy. Recently I've been having a very disturbing reoccuring problem with my dashboard and electrical components within.
Randomly, all the lights will light on the console, the gagues all plummet to 0/empty/- what have you... the written console flashes with "Unknown Driver" and I get ringy dings to high heaven.. the car starts to shake and buck.. it almost seems like the power steering is going when this is occuring. It will go in and out of this state randomly.
My truck has been into our Chevy dealer 3 times already for this occurence.. and all those times it was still under warranty. They have replaced things in the dash, replaced my ignition switch... and now it needs to go back. Now that it isn't under warranty, I fear what's going to happen, since they are clearly giving me the runaround, saying they will pay for it if it's being caused by the 'SAME' problem. But the car has been there a while and they can't seem to figure out the trouble. Has anyone had thier truck do this to them.. and was the problem solved??? Thank you for all your help.. I don't ever want to see this happen again, so any advice I could pass on to the monkeys that are fixing it, would really help me.

Solution: $7000.00 for a new engine! or a used engine for $2100.00 + $54 per hour labor at 4-5 days + any updated parts necessary etc...hell, if I had that much cash lying around I would invest in a new vehicle, and not a chevy!
gotta tell ya, did my shopping around for an engine, found one for $1100.00 (off a crashed one), but I still have a call in to GM with a complaint. I have 8 pmts left and feel as though I am paying on a "DEAD HORSE"!
I will never again buy a GM product! :mad:
I hope that none of you ever have this problem!
I would like to get a tune up and some other routine/preventative maintenance done on it. Other than oil changes, air filters and one fuel filter, I have not done anything to the vehicle.
Suggestions?
To be honest though, mine is such a slight vibration I haven't even noticed it since I last posted. Of course it’s much warmer here now so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll make it a point to be aware of it today when driving to see if the vibration is still there.
I noticed my trim piece was loose at 40004. Had probably been that way for awhile, since most of my driving is city, not highway (high speed makes it rattle).
Body shop guy said it was from the snow. Who brushes snow off the top of their truck????
I do not want to pay for a new door!!!
Anyone done this?? Thanks.
How do I do something about it such as using the Lemon Law if no one knows what is wrong with it? Please let me know cause it is getting unsafe to drive with the stalling going on. Thanks.
I had a similar problem with my 2004 Saturn Vue: the driver's side rear door would sometimes not unlock with the other doors & tailgate, when using the remote. I placed the key in the ignition in the run position (ENGINE NOT RUNNING)and held the "unlock" button for approximately 8 seconds. That apparently fixed the problem.
By the way, I'm strongly considering the TB as my next vehicle. Anything I should know?
Good luck,
Matt
Any tire recommendations ?

I had the PCM re programmed three times (first two did not save for some reason) the third time was the charm. It did fix the erratic idling and stalling. However the SES light would come on all the time. It was the O2 sensor which the dealer replaced but it was so corroded it was difficult to replace. Anyway, they did and its been running like a champ for the past 4 months, HOWEVER the SES light comes on every now and again, but no adverse symptoms. At this point, I just deal with the light on. As long as its running okay! Its paid off next month and I hope to keep it for a while longer. I have 90K on it now.
Hope this helps!
