2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

WINDSHIELD HAS CONSIDERABLE DISTORTION AND CAUSES VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING (ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC). GM CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATES WHILE DRIVING TWO ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE ENGINE POWERED DOWN. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS POWERING DOWN SHE COULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND IT MOVED ALONG. WHEN THIS HAPPENED NONE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THEREFORE, CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. SHE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT THE LOW SPEED. THIS HAPPENS AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ,AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND THROTTLE BODY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHEN DRIVING DOWN A HILL OR ON LEVEL GROUND VEHICLE WILL JUST DIE. IT IS VERY HARD TO USE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES OR STEER THE VEHICLE.

WE RENTED A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FROM ALAMO RENTAL IN CLEVELAND OHIO ON JULY 7, 2005. ON JULY 10 WE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A VALET ZONE AND MY WIFE AND I STEPPED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE OUR DAUGHTER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE BUT LEFT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WHEN WE CLOSED OUR DOORS THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED BEFORE WE COULD OPEN THE DOOR TO REMOVE OUR CHILD. WE WERE FORCED TO CALL 911. WHEN THE OFFICER COULD NOT UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND A FOLLOW UP CALL TO THE LOCKSMITH REVEALED THAT THEY WERE STILL 30 MINUTES AWAY WE WERE FORCED TO BREAK THE REAR WINDOW TO GAIN ENTRY AND REMOVE OUR CHILD. WHEN WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE THE RENTAL AGENT WAS AWARE OF SIMILAR LOCKOUTS. WE HAVE OWNED BOTH TOYOTA'S AND VOLKSWAGENS THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE 3 PASSENGER DOORS BUT REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO MANUAL LOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OR TO USE THE KEY FOB WHILE STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. CONSEQUENTLY, WE ARE FURIOUS THAT GM WOULD INSTALL A SYSTEM THAT COULD INSTANTLY ENDANGER A CHILD ESPECIALLY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY.
