CarComplaints.com Notes: The Trailblazer emerged from an "upscale trim line" of the Blazer, but there's nothing upscale about its transmission problems or its wonky, unpredictable headlights.

Spontaneous electrical fire in 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer security lock on the ignition. The fire started in the lower dash by the consumer's right knee.
2002 Chevy Trailblazer. When you go to start the vehicle and if the vehicle has a dead battery, you can not remove the key from the ignition. The ignition locks up and you can't remove the key. I guess this is actually part of the anti-theft devices. This is very unsafe in that if you have to go to seek help. The car is unlocked with the key in the ignition.
Went out in a.M. to start vehicle and turn the key over to hear nothing and no start. No prior warning, tried to jump start, no success, towed to Chevy dealership to find out the diagnosis was the ignition switch was bad.
The light on the 4 wheel drive knob is always jumping back and forth from 2 wd to 4 wd. The service 4 wheel drive light came on several times. The vehicle was taken to my Chevrolet dealership and it took them 5 days to figure out the service 4 wheel drive light was due to the ignition" my ignition does not start properly anymore. The lights on the 4 wd knob still blink. I do not know if the vehicle is safe. The dealership claims it is safe"
