TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATED WHILE IN THE OFF POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CHEVYLAND, 7500 YOUREE DRIVE, SHREVEPORT, LA 71105) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL.

TIRE BLEW OUT AT 70 MPH ON FREEWAY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH INTO GUARD RAIL. I HAD TO PULL OFF EXIT IN UNFAMILIAR CITY IN A BAD AREA AND CALL EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. EVERY TIRE HAS LEAKED AIR SINCE PURCHASING AND HAS HAD TO BE RESEALED AND SIDEWALLS ALL LOOKED LIKE THEY ARE CRACKING APART. I HAVE CONTACTED COOPER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET NO SOLUTION AND A [XXX] RESPONSE. THEY ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING MATTER FOR 2 AND HALF YEARS NOW! THE STORE WERE PURCHASED SAID I HAD TO CONTACT COOPER NOT THEM. EVERY TIRE IN THIS LINE HAS BEEN RECALLED EXCEPT THIS SIZE! NOW I GET TO SPEND ANOTHER $1000 ON NEW TIRES WHEN THESE AREN'T EVEN OUT OF WARRANTY BUT COOPER WON'T DO ANYTHING EVEN THO MY MECHANIC SAYS THEY ARE FAULTY. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE AIR BAG IS THE ISSUE IT SAYS IT NEEDS SERVICED NOT FOR SURE IF ANYTHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE

SMELLED GAS ODOR FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. CRAWLED UNDER AND FOUND GAS TANK LEAK AT THE CONNECTION OF FILLER PIPE TO TANK/CHECK VALVE. UNDERSTAND THIS WAS KNOWN DEFECT ON EARLIER YEARS AND TANKS WER COVERED BY A SPECIAL COVERAGE PLAN 14423. ANY EXTENSIONS FOR LATER (2008) MODEL YEARS?

NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING WHEN I REACH SPEEDS OF ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH IT LOSES POWER, THE TACH. EVEN DECLINES IN IT'S READING. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE IS BEHIND ME WITH A ROPE, AND STEPPING ON THEIR BRAKES, SLOWING ME DOWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A STREET, MAKING NO TURNS, AND LET IT BASICALLY IDLE ROLL DOWN THE STREET. ALL THE WHILE, IT IS IN GEAR, ENGINE RUNNING, AND IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SIDE AIR BAGS JUST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY LIGHTS JUST WENT OFF. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS STILL WORKED AND I DROVE HOME WITH MY BRIGHTS ON. WHEN I GOT HOME AND TURNED OFF THE CAR I TRIED THEM AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY CAME ON NORMALLY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT THAT THEY JUST WENT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 83073848929. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S MILEAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 184,000. UPDATED 08/29/17*LJ *CN

MY SON AND I WERE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE.... CAR JUST DIED, NO WARNING. I HAD TO VEER SUDDENLY TO THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE RAMP OR TAKE A CHANCE ON THE SHOULDER. SINCE THIS FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS ALSO NOT WANTED TO START. I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ALARM LOCKING ME OUT , BUT IT APPEARS IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR HAS ON MULTIPLY TIME DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I'VE TRIED REACHING OUT TO CHEVY AND GM BUT, EACH IS WANTING ME TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND ON THIS. I DON'T WANT TO DIE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY IGNITION. PLEASE HELP US.

WHILE DRIVING BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THIS EFFECTED BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND LOW BEAMS. HIGH BEAMS ARE STILL OPERATIONAL. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE EASILY SHOWS THAT THE ISSUE IS A FAULTY HEADLIGHT RELAY. I EVEN TRIED TO REPLACE BOTH BULBS AND CHECKED ALL FUSES TO VERIFY. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF FREI CHEVROLET IN MARQUETTE MICHIGAN AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN TELL ME IF THEY HAD THE PARTS IN STOCK TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME THAT I DEAL WITH THEM.
