"TAKATA RECALL" WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM MY HUSBAND'S DECEASED MOTHER'S ESTATE AND IT HAD A RECALL ON THE LIGHTING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TAIL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS 83 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THE VEHICLE REAR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN I BRAKE ONLY ONE THAT IS THE THIRD LIGHT ON TOP OF CAR. GM (CHEVROLET) I LIVE ON A VERY LIMITED INCOME AND DUE TO DISABILITY AS WELL. MY INCOME IS 1330 A MONTH. HOW CAN I GET THIS FIXED? THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS, AS I STATED WE FIXED IT ONCE IT SEEMS TO BE THAT IT MAY GET HOT AND BLOWS FUSES AND THEN I HAVE NO IDEA I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD REAR END ME AND KILL THEMSELVES AND OR MYSELF. PLEASE HELP ME IN UNDERSTANDING ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THEIR DEFECTS AS THEY DID IT ONCE WHEN IT WAS RECALLED AND WE ALSO JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. PAID ABOUT 5 THOUSAND FOR IT. EXCELLENT CONDITION. OTHER THAN THE LIGHTING SYSTEM NOT WORKING ONLY ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I FIND IT UNFAIR THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY ARE PAID BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS AND WILL RECUR. WE HAVE ACTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM ONCE BUT APPARENTLY SOMETHING IS WRONG THAT WE CANNOT SECURE THE ISSUE PROPERLY. KINDEST REGARDS [XXX].

THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY TRUCK IS AN ELECTRIC PROBLEM INVOLVING THE LIGHT RELAYS, WHICH I AD TO REPLACE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THEM BEING DAMAGED, LEAVING ME WITHOUT LIGHTS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT I DRIVE AT NIGHT OFTEN AND I AM IN DANGER WHEN I HAVE THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF. I DID RESEARCH ON SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE SAME-VEHICLE-OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

WHEN REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULB, I NOTICED THAT THE CONNECTION WAS MELTED. THROUGH MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE GAUGE OF WIRE USED IN THE WIRING HARNESS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL. SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COULD POSSIBLY OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE, I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS COULD HELP INITIATE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT A WEAR ITEM SO THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE IN QUESTION. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER/2002, I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL MAYBE THE FOURTH YEAR, GOING ON ITS 5TH; RIGHT BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE. THE FIRST PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. BECAUSE OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIX THAT PROBLEM, AT THAT TIME. TODAY, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS: WITH A LOUD NOISE, A STRUGGLE IN HORSE POWER AND A VIBRATION WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS AS WELL. I HAVE PURCHASED OVER TEN LIGHT BULBS FOR REAR BRAKE LIGHTS THAT CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION. I RECENTLY REPLACED A RELAY BECAUSE THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD CONSTANTLY GO OUT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON. I REPLACED THE FAN CLUTCH AND WATER PUMP BECAUSE THEY BOTH WENT OUT. I ALSO REPLACED A BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS. FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, MY VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE FUEL EVERYTIME I TURN IT ON. I AM ASKING THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT LOOK INTO ALL OF THESE CLAIMS. IT APPEARS THAT ALMOST EVERYONE THAT OWES A 2003 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT YET; NO ONE IS DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT ALL THOSE CONSUMERS WHO HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL TO THIS COUNTRY IN PURCHASING AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES. A SINCERE THANKS. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT MANY CHEVY VEHICLES BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IM HAVING WITH THIS TRUCK IM NOT SURE I WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER. LAST YEAR MY TRANSMISSION WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALSO SAME WAS WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS YEAR I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WIPERS DURING RAIN STORM I WENT TO TURN THEM ON AND NOTHING. I COULDNT SEE SO I HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE RAIN HAD LET UP(2HRS LATER). I AM JUST SPEECHLESS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE "RECALLS". IT SEEMS THAT MYSELF NOR ANYONE I KNOW EVER FALLS ON THESE LISTS, YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE MONEY WE ARE PAYING TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES THAT SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY KEEEP OUR BUSINESS. *TR

MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY TRAILBLAZER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE CONNECTOR. ONCE AGAIN I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE RIGHT LOW BEAM. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, IT LIGHTS UP, BUT ONCE I TURN ON THE BRIGHTS AND RETURN TO LOW BEAM, IT REFUSES TO COME ON. *KB

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JUN 2003. WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, VARIOUS RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR STEERING, BRAKE LIGHTS AND REAR HATCH LOCKING/HANDLE ASSEMBLY. SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN A LEMON. POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED TWICE (FIRST ONE I PAID FOR, SECOND INDEPENDENT AND VERY RELIABLE MECHANIC SHOP PAID). NEXT THE ENGINE COOLING FAN BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED. LATER, THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. I ALSO HAD TO GET THE COMPUTER CHECKED AND RESET TO AVOID SURGING ENGINE RPM AND RESULTANT SPEED DEVIATIONS. REACHING A POINT OF FRUSTRATION AS NEVER BEFORE, I WROTE GM ASKING FOR CONSIDERATION REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I KNOW THEY RECEIVED THE EMAIL SINCE I HAD A "RECEIPT REQUESTED" FEATURE ACTIVATED IN MY OFFICE COMPUTER. I SENT A SECOND EMAIL STATING I WAS AWARE OF THE EMAIL RECEIPT AND THAT I EXPECTED A RESPONSE. NO SUCH LUCK. ALL THESE PROBLEMS MANIFESTED THEMSELVES WELL BEFORE THE 100,000 MILES WERE REACHED. NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 132,000 MILES, I HAD TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD DUE TO A CRACK, THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS GONE TO ZERO AND BACK TO NORMAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THE LATEST IS AN ENGINE NOISE THAT MY VERY RELIABLE, 6 YEAR AUTO SERVICE PROVIDER HAS TOLD BE IS RELATED TO THE TIMING BELT ASSEMBLY/MOUNT POINTS AND AS IT GETS LOUDER, THE ENGINE WILL BE GETTING READY TO FAIL. SO, I READ ALL THESE COMPLAINTS TODAY AND FELT LIKE I COULD HAVE SUMMARIZED EVERYONE'S COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS. I AM AN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR AND HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS ONE OF THE MOST UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS CARS EVER BUILT. SHAME THE FEDS HAVE NOT TAKEN THE EXTRA STEPS TO REMEDY THE ISSUES AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS YET, THEY WENT AFTER TOP SELLING TOYOTA AT A TIME WHEN THE AMERICAN MADE CARS WERE BARELY ABLE TO STAY AFLOAT. WONDER? *TR

SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEY WENT BACK ON. PULLED ONTO I-95 AND 4 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE, IN THE FAST LANE, THEY TURNED BACK OFF LEAVING ME IN PITCH BLACK GOING 70MPH. IM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND WAS ALONE ON THE SIDE OF A DARK HIGHWAY. GM, YOU KNOW ABOUT THESE ISSUES! RECALL THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED!!! *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT .AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS UNTIL ALL OF THE CONSUMERS ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO HOLD THEIRSELFS LIABLE FOR THESE ISSUES ,BUT PEOPLE SPEND PRETTY PENNIES OUT OF POCKET TO PURCHASE VEHICLES FROM THESE MANUFACTURERS TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AFTER JUST A SHORT WHILE OF OWNING THESE . I HAVE RESEARCHED ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE , AND I AM HAVING ALL THE ABOVE LISTED ISSUES , AND DO NOT WISH TO SPEND LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO PAY FOR THESE COST CONSIDERING I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE . I JUST SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTIVE ABOUT THESE COMPLAINTS ,AND HAVE SET UP AN APPOINMENT TO PAY A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS , BUT AM HOPING THAT I CAN GET CLOSURE ON THESE ISSUES WITHOUT PAYING BIG EXPENSES. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE WILL FOLLOW SUIT AND KEEP INPUTTING YOUR COMPLAINTS UNTIL THEY ARE RESOLVED. MY VEHICLE ISSUES ARE THE FAN CLUTCH NEEDS REPLACED, MY GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY,JUST REPLACED MY SERPINTINE BELT THIS MORNING, MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS (BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL) HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES OVER TWO MONTHS, AND ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON , SOMETHING DOESNT SEEM RIGHT UNDERNEATH THIS VEHICLE EITHER. I JUST FEEL LIKE I AM PAYING FOR A PEICE OF JUNK ON TOP OF PAYING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING. OH YEA THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TO HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF BODY WORK DONE AS WELL THANKS TO MOTHER NATURE. I JUST HOPE THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THIS RESPONSIBILTY OF THEIRS ,NOT OURS. *TR
