ON SEPTEMBER 28TH 2006 I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT DOWN THE ROAD BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH. IT HAD STARTED RAINING ABOUT 5 MINUTES EARLIER. I STARTED UP THE HILL AND WAS APPROACHING THE OTHER ROAD I NEEDED TO TURN ON AND GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES. AS SOON AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL. I TRIED TO PUMP THE BRAKES AND GET THE VEHICLE BACK INTO CONTROL BUT HAD NO LUCK. I THEN CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I HIT THE GUARD RAIL I BOUNCED OFF OF THAT AND HIT AN ON COMING VEHICLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AND JUMP A 4FT DITCH AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DITCH. THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING UP HILL!!! I TRULY BELIEVE THE SO CALLED FOUR WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED EITHER! AFTER THE CRASH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A HUGE HOLE IN THE SIDE WALL AND I AM NOT TOO SURE THAT THIS WASN'T PART OF THE PROBLEM. THE TORN PART OF THE TIRE IS STICKING OUT AND SEEMS LIKE IT FAILED TOO. I JUST WISH I COULD GET SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS (GOODYEAR TIRES). *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTERWARD, THE ENGINE EASILY RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 09/12/06. *JB

VEHICLE SHOCKS ME & ALL OCCUPANTS ALMOST EVERY TIME WE EXIT THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TO 3 DEALERS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. SINCE THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE CENTER FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE REAR HATCH MODULE CONTINUES TO SHORT OUT. THIS MODULE CAUSES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHORT OUT. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYWHERE. I AN A SINGLE MOTHER OF A TWO YEAR OLD. I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. JACK SCHMITT CHEVROLET OF O'FALLON ILLINOIS WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLE THAT THEY SOLD OR ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION. WHEN I CAME TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AFTER THEY HAD "FIXED" IT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS IN FACT THE REAR HATCH MODULE AGAIN AND THAT THEY HAD MADE AN EDUCATED GUESS THE FIRST TIME IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO HOLD THIS DEALERSHIP RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT IN THIS CAR AND TO STOP GIVING CONSUMERS THE RUN AROUND. *JB

THE LIFT GATE ON MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT LIFT ALL THE WAY IN LATE IN 2005 AND WOULD ONLY LIFT UP TO 1/4 OF ITS ACTUAL OPENING. WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE RECENTLY, IT COMPLETELY FELL OFF FLYING INTO TRAFFIC. *JB

HYDRAULICS ON LIFT GATE NOT WORKING. NOTICED IT WHEN WENT TO OPEN IN TO PUT GROCERIES IN THE BACK. VERY DANGEROUS, IF NOT CAREFUL COULD FALL ON TOP OF YOU OR YOUR HEAD! *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE THIRD ROW SEAT CUSHIONS ARE SO BIG THAT THEY DO NOT ALLOW THE LATCH SYSTEM TO BE ACCESSED. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE THE SAFETY BELTS. WHEN SHE SECURES A CHILD SEAT TO THE SAFETY BELT IT ALLOWS THE CHILD SEAT TO TIP OVER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS DESIGN. *AK
