2003 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER. NOTICED VERY ODD WEAR PATTERN ON FRONT TIRES. FRONT END OF CAR SEEMED "LOOSE". NO ACCIDENT, CAR JUST HARD TO STEER ACCURATELY. TOOK TO DEALER. BOTH FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE LOOSE. FRONT STRUTS WERE SHOT. DEALER REPLACED LOWER BALL JOINTS AND STRUTS. I'M A LITTLE OLD LADY WHO DRIVES IN TOWN - ONLY 65,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND FRONT END IS GOING OUT. POUR QUALITY! DEALER SAID FRONT END WORN BECAUSE CAR HAS 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND IS HEAVIER THAN PASSENGER CAR. I DO NOT DRIVE OFF ROAD. REPAIRS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. NO HELP ON 60,000 MILE FRONT TIRES COMPLETELY SHOT IN 17,000. *TR

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER HAS INTERMITTENTLY WORKED PROPERLY. 90% OF THE TIME IT IS READING A FALSE SPEED. I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM TRAVELING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECALL. *TR

AFTER NOTICING STRONG GASOLINE ODORS IN CAR AND IN THE GARAGE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN BY DEALERSHIP, THIS IS THE RESULT OF A LEAK IN EVAC SYSTEM. WHILE RESEARCHING, NOTICED OTHER OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM, ADVISED NO RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. GM OFFERED NO RELIEF. EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH REP SINCE THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES THING THE PROBLEM WAS CAUGHT SINCE COULD HAVE LED TO FIRE HAD THERE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR AN INCINERATOR NEARBY. MY COST TO REPAIR THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IS $1600.00. *TR

SECOND INCIDENT DASHBOARD: SERVICE BRAKES,ANTILOCK ABS WARNING LIGHT. SAYS TO SEEK SERVICE. ABS MALFUNCTIONING ANY TIME IT GOES BELOW MINUS 10 DEGREES FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. ASSUME THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MALFUNCTIONING ABS. THE FIRST EVENT WE PAID TO HAVE SERVICE BULLETIN CHECK GROUNDING OF WHEEL AND BODY SENSORS. THE NEXT YEAR IT WENT AWAY AFTER A DAY OF THE CAR NOT BEING USED. WHY DOESN'T THE GOVENRMENT GET CHEVROLET TO REPAIR PERMANENTLY THE MALFUNCTION BEFORE ANY ACCIDENTS OCCUR.

A LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID "ICE ON THE ROADWAY" ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" SO HERE I AM GOING UNDER 5 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. ITS 44 DEGREES AND NO ICE. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2003. I HAVE TOLD THEM EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN FOR A LUBE AND OIL CHANGE BUT THEY IGNORE ME BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.
