ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
WHEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THERE ARE TWO SPEAKERS THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE STATIC NOISE, WHETHER I HAVE OPENED THE DOOR OR NOT. IF I BUMP OR HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE IT WILL MAKE THE SPEAKERS LOUDER OR TURN OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR MULTIPLE CODES, AND I HAVE WORN OUT SHOCKS. THE SHOCKS SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL AS IF I AM GLIDING, BUR I FEEL AND JERK TO EVERY BUMP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHETHER THE CAR IS TURNED ON, OR OFF WITH OR WITHOUT KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT HAS A SMALL SPEAKER OR TWEETER THAT STEADILY STAYS MAKING A FAINT BUZZ. THE CENTER CONSOLE IS VERY LOOSE, AND IF YOU PRESS OR KNOCK UP AGAINST THE RIGHT SIDE OR THE BACK SIDE, IT BECOMES LOUDER AND/OR QUIETER. THEN WHILE IN AUTO (2WD-4WD^OR4WDL) AND DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSIONS FEELS TO NOT SWITCH GEER AT THE RIGHT TIME, OR FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK TO DRIVE IT JOLTS FORWARD OR BACK REALLY HARD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MOST OF THE GAUGES ARE VERY ERRATIC WHEN IN MOTION OR STOPPED. TACHOMETER JUMPS AROUND, OIL PRESSURE READS ALL OVER, SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO OR FULL SCALE, AMP METER DROPS BELOW 14 AND LIGHTS DIM WHEN THIS HAPPENS, (HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED 3 TIMES, THIS IS QUITE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BELIEVE ON ANY OF THE GAUGES. NO REPAIR SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

I WENT TO CLOSE MY HATCHBACK ON MY 2008 TRAILBLAZER YESTER AND AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR A FEW SECONDS LATER THE GLASS EXPLODED. SOME ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND SOME ON THE OUTSIDE. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED. I NOW HAVE A CUT ON MY FINGER THAT MAY NEED STITCHES. I HEAR THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS.

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND STRUCK A CONCRETE WALL HEAD ON. THE VEHICLE THEN VEERED TO THE LEFT AND STRUCK THE CENTER DIVIDER TWICE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED. MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR COULD NOT BE CLOSED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES WHERE THE SEAT WAS LOCATED. THE DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER'S FACE WAS BRUISED AND A CAT SCAN WAS PERFORMED TO DETERMINE IF THERE WERE ANY BROKEN BONES, BUT THE TESTS WERE NEGATIVE. THE DRIVER ALSO TWISTED HER ANKLE AND THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF SWELLING ON HER KNEE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WANTED TO VISIT THE CONTACT'S HOME TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE AND FIND OUT WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS STABILITRAK ACTIVATES SHUTTING POWER OFF TO THE WHEELS ONCE YOU RELEASE GAS PETAL FOR 5-10 SECONDS STABILITRAK WILL RETURN TO NORMAL AND ALLOW POWER BACK TO WHEELS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU PULL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY STREET AND YOU LOOSE POWER, YOU COULD GET HIT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE CONSISTENTLY SHOWED "EMPTY" AND EXTERNAL LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS VERY DIM. LACK OF AWARENESS OF FUEL STATUS LED TO BREAKDOWN ON HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD AND DIM HAZARD LIGHTS CONTRIBUTED TO POOR VISIBILITY AND A FATAL ACCIDENT.

THE FRAME IN MY TRAILBLAZER HAS BIG HOLES RUSTING THROUGH IT. A FRAME 100 YEARS OLD WILL NEVER RUST THROUGH. THE USE OF VERY CHEAP THIN STEEL MAY RESULT IN A ACCIDENT WHEN THE FRAME BREAKS IN HALF. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF HOW OLD THE CAR IS THE FRAME SHOULD NEVER RUST THROUGH

WHEELS
I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST TIRES I HAVE EVER OWNED IN MY 34 YEARS OF DRIVING! IN DRY CONDITIONS THEY ARE TOLERABLE BUT ONE CAN TELL THAT THEY'RE NOT STICKING WELL TO THE ROAD. WHEN IT RAINED SLIGHTLY IT BECOMES NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WITH THESE TIRES. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS AS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE ON A SLICK ROADWAY ALMOST LIKE DRIVING ON OIL OR SIMILIAR TO DRIVING A RACE CAR ON SLICK TIRES TO DRIFT WITH.
