SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE COMING TO THE END OF AN ON-RAMP TO 295 W, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN STEERING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT; I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL; THE BRAKES DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE HELPING AT ALL, AND I WAS ONLY DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APROX. 30 MPH AS ALWAYS WHEN I DRIVE THIS ON-RAMP. I'VE "NEVER EVER" HAD A PROBLEM AS THIS OCCUR WITH ANY VEHICLE I'VE DRIVEN ON THIS OR OTHER ON/OFF-RAMPS. IT WAS SCARY. LUCKILY I DID NOT HIT ON-COMING TRAFFIC BUT DID, HOWEVER, HIT A GUARDRAIL. MY 8 YR. OLD WAS ALSO TERRIFIED, BUT LUCKILY WE DID NOT SUSTAIN INJURY.*AK

STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH OR MORE, CAR SWAYS LEFT TO RIGHT, STEERING IS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND AT TIME IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE FROM VEERING. ALMOST AS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTROL THE CAR IN A WIND STORM. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DEC 31, 2003, IN THE FIRST 45 DAYS I HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, IT'S NOW JUNE 2004 AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 8 TIMES. I AM GETTING ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. BUT I KNOW BETTER,WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR GOES OFF ON IT'S OWN. I AM VERY FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY 22 MONTH OLD CHILD. SOME DAYS I CAN'T EVEN BRING MYSELF TO PUT HIM IN THIS CAR. SO WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS I'M PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT ALL THIS. *LA

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET ON MY 2002 CHEV TRAILBLAZER LT IS NOT SECURE SO THE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK CONSISTANTLY. ACTUALLY IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT HAS WORKED TEMPORARILY BUT NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE DEALER FOR THE MANUFACTURER HAS EVEN TOLD ME THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BUT DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECT. THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING LONG BEFORE I REACHED THE MILEAGE BUT I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A DEFECT. MILEAGE DOES NOT AFFECT THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THIS ITEM. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. IN RECENT MONTHS IT HAS SUDDENLY STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, ON STREET DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, AND AT HIGHWAY DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH. DURING THE HIGHWAY STALL THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CONTROL AND WAS FORTUNATELY STEERED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITH GREAT PHYSICAL EFFORT SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THE STALL CAUSES AN ABRUPT STOP OF THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR TESTING AND REPAIR AT ROMANO CHEVEROLET IN SYRACUSE, NY AS WELL AS CURRY CHEVEROLET IN SCARSDALE, NY. NEITHER SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR'S COMPUTER IS NOT REGISTERING THE STALLS. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BUT THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED ON ME IN NORMAL STREET DRIVING AT 30 MPH A FEW DAYS LATER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHEVEROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAY THEY ARE "INVESTIGATING" THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SENT COPIES OF NHTSA SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS CAR TO CURRY CHEVEROLET BUT THEY CLAIM THEY ARE NOT APPLICABLE. THE SERVICE BULLETINS CLEARLY STATE THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH STALLING DUE TO AN ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM, BUT CURRY CHEVEROLET CLAIMS THAT MY ENGINE IS FINE AND THAT THE NHTSA SERVICE BULLETINS DO NOT APPLY TO MY CAR. HOWEVER, THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I HAVE SUGGESTED TO CURRY CEHVEROLET THAT THE CAR COMPUTER IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT SINCE IT HAS NOT REGISTERED THE NUMEROUS STALLS. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM THAT THE COMPUTER IS FINE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT REGISTERING THE STALLS AND WHAT THEY ARE CAUSED BY. THE PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN TO AT CURRY CHEVEROLET ARE THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER, MR. CONTE, AND THE REPAIR SHOP MANAGER, DENNIS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO DUANE COX AT CHEVEROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND HIS MANAGER MS. PATRICIA FREY. MR. COX'S PHONE NUMBER IS 866-952-4368, EXTENSION 57020. MS. FREY SAID I COULD REACH HER VIA MR. COX, HER ASSISTANT. THE CHEVEROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERENCE NUMBER FOR MY CAR IS: 1-219-824-950. *LA
