MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVING AVERAGE, WITH PRIOR ISSUES OF THE TRUCK SOUNDING LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. THIS WEEKEND, IT BEGAN SOUNDING LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO DRIVE BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT FOR OVER 50 MILES FOR FEAR OF MY TRUCK BLOWING UP. AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE PROBLEM IS THE FAN CLUTCH. AFTER GOING ONLINE, I OBSERVED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2002-2007. BUT TO NO AVAIL, I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALLS FROM CHEVROLET ABOUT THEIR MANY FAULTY PARTS. I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY $900 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FROM CHEVY? WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? I AM A FAMILY MEMBER OF 3 GENERATIONS OF GM EMPLOYEES, AND I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVROLET. *JB
