2002 Trailblazer acted like transmission going out, took to dealer they upgraded computer. Front right low beam wired burned and melted, took to dealer they wanted to charge $250 plus labor for light assembly when all it needed was a piggy plug, bought plug at Napa and fixed myself. Never have had two back lights working at same time... cant take to dealer to get the recall work because it seems that these vehicles are using a "weak" oil pump and my Trailblazer has been in shop for last month or more waiting to be fixed. The weak oil pump caused damage to rod bearings, main bearings, and crankshaft. GM says out of warranty and my customer service specialist said "I'm sorry" about 10 times but she was still closing my folder and marking dissatisfied. She can't help me because I'm out of warranty. I hate this vehicle. I have found quite a few recalls but can't do most because its in the shop. I never got any recall notices.

Wiring harness burned up. Caused damage to control panel, dash, computer system. Entire vehicle gutted to replace wiring. A door panel was broken in process. Several rattles now exist. We were told there was no way of knowing if electrical problem would occur again. GM agreed for repurchase. However, they delayed procedure so that 0% financing can not apply. Also wanted us to pay out of pocket, buy back amount said we would be reimburced, but would not put it in writing.

The first time I had problems was about a month ago when the check engine light came on. I brought the vehicle in to lynch service department and it was taken cared of that same day. On 10/25/2002 my car completely shut down and it would not start for me at all. I had my vehicle towed to gillespie Chevy dealer service department and as of today 10/29/2002 my vehicle is still there. I was told that it is an electrical problem but that was all I was told. Now I'm just sitting and waiting.
