| 2005 | SEATS | WHILE DRIVING THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, MY WIFE SMELLED SMOKE. SHE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND OPENED THE DOOR - AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT PROCEEDED TO BILLOW SMOKE. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS RESPONDED - THE SEAT WAS RIPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE AND SEAT WERE EXTINGUISHED WITH FOAM - THE VEHICLE HAD A POWERED DRIVER'S SEAT BUT NOT HEATED SEATS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN AN AUTO BODY SHOP. *TR |
| 2003 | SUSPENSION | THESE ARE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS FIXED AT THE DEALER WITH THIS TRUCK SO FAR: REAR SWAY BAR LINKS REPLACED, REAR WIPER BLADE CAME OUT OF ALIGNMENT 2 TIMES, RIGHT REAR DOOR IS WARPED, DRIVER SIDE REAR MOLDING IS LOOSE, BACK PLATE RUBBER SEAL OUT OF ALIGNMENT, WINDSHIELD WIPER TANK REPLACED SINCE IT WAS LEAKING, A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH INOP THEN REPLACED, WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE REPLACED BECAUSE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF, SWAY BAR LINKS REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME. ALL OF THESE HAVE BROKEN OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS AND NINE MONTHS AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW FOR THAT DOOR IS LOOSE. STILL IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION THAT MAKES A HARD KNOCK ONTO THE STEERING COLUMN BUT DEALER DENIES HEARING IT. *NM |
