#555 of 585 High Pitched Whine by Stevesintn Feb 15, 2009 (7:24 pm)
I have an 04 TB that has developed a high pitch whine that changes up and down with the RPM's of the engine. I have not noticed any decrease in power or actually any other problems at all but the high pitched whine is getting louder and louder. At a drive thru the other day, I had to shut the engine off so the girl could hear me. Any ideas?

Replying to: biglink (Feb 17, 2009 1:37 pm) Nice! I've not seen that happen on other vehicles I've owned. Sounds like a manufacturing problem. I hope they've solved it or have a new button-making company now. Can the buttons be replaced or removed and painted or something? It just looks so cheap. I've read about others' complaints about cheap materials used in those interiors, but I'm going to try and trust the Chevy name. The car looks and runs great otherwise, and I've also read positive opinions about it generally.   Thanks.   Anyone else have an opinion?

Replying to: dawnandmark10 (Feb 17, 2009 2:39 pm) I have an 02 and the steering wheel and radio buttons look just like they did the day I bought it. Maybe I have dry skin? Replies to this message: dawnandmark10 (Feb 18, 2009 7:46 am) burdawg (Feb 18, 2009 12:08 pm)

Replying to: dawnandmark10 (Feb 18, 2009 7:46 am) Ours has been fine. We have about 72K on it and haven't had any real problems. It's was in the shop for minor warranty items and a couple of recalls. I have had to replace the rear shocks since one of them started to leak hydraulic fluid, plus replace the tires. Early on I replaced the factory rear sway bar with the Hotchkiss heavy duty one to minimize the sway that a lot of people complained about, that did the trick. The brakes are original and still have plenty of lining left. They're probably the best brakes overall that I have ever experienced. The rear suspension is sprung kind of soft in the back, but I understand it was on purpose so the ride isn't hard like a truck. When you put some load on the back like towing a trailer it firms right up. Don't break that tailgate glass however, someone broke ours and the bill to the insurance company was over $2,000 to replace it, and only about $100 was labor.
#561 of 585 Rear End Noise by reids Feb 20, 2009 (8:04 am)
I have a 2002 Trailblazer ltz. When I drive vehicle in reverse, or if i make a turn when driving slow or when I come to a stop theres a load "clunking" noise coming from the rear end. My original thought is the rear diff, so I replaced the rear differential oil and theres no metal shards in the old stuff. After adding the new oil it still makes the noise. Now heres the other thing too. I wasn't able to get the fill plug out to "properly" fill the rear diff. so I had to force the oil into the top of the cover. It worked and theres no leaks (if been monitoring it for a week now) but the issue is I can't measure to see if I have enough fluid in it. I put almost 2 pints (jugs) of oil in it. Could that be the issue? of is there something else? This noise only is heard when driving slow (turns, reverse of stopping)
#562 of 585 Misfire cylinder 1 by towmater1976 Feb 20, 2009 (4:58 pm)
I have had a misfire cylinder one and a compression of 90 with it draining off. I already know that I need a new motor. Here's the real kicker, my TB only has 49761 miles on it. I have no extra warranty on it. Everyone is telling me to contact GM about their good faith warranty has anyone had a similar problem.? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I have a

Replying to: tbls04mujo (Apr 07, 2009 12:41 am) email me if you can help me out   It's best to keep the discussion right here. To do otherwise deprives other members of valuable information and tends to defeat the purpose of a Forum.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
