Replying to: cbwilsha (Jul 10, 2005 12:56 pm) Thanks for the information guys. Of course this week the temperature has been in the 90's and when you don't have the A/C blowing in your face you just don't feel cool. Thanks again!!!!!

#16961 of 18165 Rearend leak anyone? by 2k_impala_ls Jul 10, 2005 (6:17 pm)
When I was checking out the door rust I noticed the front part of my rear differential is wet with fluid. It must be the front seal. Looks like they will be fixing that too.

Replying to: elevatorguy (Jul 08, 2005 9:01 pm) No, I don't. The service advisor would not give it it me. He was upset with me because I knew of the bulletin and told them about it when I first brought it in. He got very defensive when I told him I wanted the bulletin printed out and the tech do do what it said. I also spoke to the service manager about it and the advisor did not like my going above his head. Oh well.   It took them about 15 minutes to repair. The removed the "A" pillar molding and moved the rubber weatherstripping to access the screws. Then they used some sort of silicon to seal around the screws. This was done at the beginning of April and it hasn't leaked since. The car is not garaged and it rained most of May in NJ.   Good luck.   Phil
#16963 of 18165 HELP - Honest Opinion on the 2005 Trailblazer by jrwpmw Jul 11, 2005 (12:34 pm)
With the employee discount, I can get a TrailBlazer for about $26,000. However, I've heard some really bad things - bad wind noise and major realibility problems. Many sites are give poor-average reviews.   What's you honest opinion? I can get a Four Runner for about $5,000 more, the reviews on them are great!   I really like the features on the trailblazer, but these ratings and reviews worry me. Consumer Reports even rates them poorly. Thanks again.

Replying to: jrwpmw (Jul 11, 2005 12:34 pm) Consumer Reports rates all American cars bad. What do you expect from a bunch of jerks.   I've had mine for 2 years without a hitch. Remember most all posters here are here because they have problems. These are just a very small majority of the owners. You can go to the Toyota sites, they have their problems too. Like oil sludge, the Pries or however you spell it can't even back up a driveway if it has much of a incline. Yes there are problems but all cars have some kind of problems as they are man made but you will find that GM will bend over backward long before Toyota will to make it right.

Replying to: 2k_impala_ls (Jul 10, 2005 5:33 pm) Dropped off the TB for the rust repair. Bodyshop manager seems to think the rust is caused by the door seal on the bottom not letting the water out. Seems funny that the only door without rust is the drivers door which gets opened the most often. Open all your doors after it rains

Replying to: jrwpmw (Jul 11, 2005 12:34 pm) Well, I owned a '03 GMC Envoy, SLT, and have sold it to buy a '05 GMC Envoy Denali. Built on the same assembly line as the TB's. I believe the reliability is there. I don't listen to what Consumer Reports says anymore. BTW, I have owned 6 Toyotas in my life so far, some good and some not so good.

Replying to: wxman4 (Jul 05, 2005 6:13 pm) I've had the ignition switch replaced twice on our '03 Envoy.   First time the problem was that while driving, all the gauges, onstar, power windows, locks, etc went dead. They said it was the ignition switch. Then a week later I had to bring it back because they installed the switch incorrectly and I could turn it part way without the key in it.   The second time it was replaced because the truck wouldn't start. Key would turn, but wouldn't turn over (or even click). And since the truck wouldn't start, I couldn't get the transmission into neutral. I ended up searching this site to find the picture of the solenoid button that's in the center console.. then I could move the shift level to neutral.

Replying to: seiford (Jul 11, 2005 3:02 pm) Anyone got the part # for the ignition switch? My wife has had our Bravada quit two times on her, both times it was towed to the dealer with no problems found.   I never thought it could be the ignition switch?   Make sense if you have a loose contact everything will die with no trouble codes set.   Thanks   Allen Replies to this message: longdistancetb (Jul 12, 2005 1:16 am) ross1962 (Jul 12, 2005 12:05 pm)
