  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING

  (1) PURCHASED A NEW 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ON NOV. 30,2006. LESS THAT 1200 MILES ON IT BEFORE WIFE TOOK IT ON THE INTERSTATE. (2) TWO LIGHT CAME ON CONTROL PANEL AND THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL. SHE HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY REGAINING CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND BRAKING. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. ON HER RETURN TRIP HOME IT AGAIN DID THE SAME THING, HOWEVER, SHE ONLY DROVE ABOUT 40 MPH UNTIL SHE COULD GET HOME. (3)VEHICLE TAKEN TO CHEVROLET SERVICE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THERE IS TWO FAULTY CIRCUITS. CODES IN SYSTEM C0455, OPEN SENSOR AND SHORTED EBTCM DIAGNOSE. I DECLINED REPAIR UNTIL I COULD SPEAK WITH GN. (4) SPOKE WITH SAMANTHA SHEARED 1-866-790-5700 EXT.20836 WHO ADVISED TO GET IT FIXED AND NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM SURE THAT OURS IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THESE FAULTY PARTS. MY WIFE IS TOO SCARED OF THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN, EVEN IF REPAIRED. WE ARE VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE UNCONCERN OF GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *JB

  EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

  GENERAL SAFETY COMPLAINT ABOUT SEVERAL MAKES OF VEHICLES. MANY VEHICLES USE THEIR HEADLIGHTS AS RUNNING LIGHTS AND THEY COME ON AUTOMATICALLY. DRIVERS, IN SEEING THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON, DO NOT REALIZE THAT THEIR TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT ON AND DRIVE WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM WHEN I SUDDENLY CAME UP ON A CAR WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. THROUGH THE SPRAY THAT HE WAS KICKING UP AND THE DRIVING RAIN, IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE HIM. THIS ALERTED ME TO THE FACT AND I STARTED LOOKING. APPROXIMATELY 25% OF THE NEWER VEHICLES HAD HEADLIGHTS ON BUT NO TAILLIGHTS. I RECENTLY RENTED A CHEVROLET BLAZER . I LEFT MY HOTEL IN THE DARK WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON. IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND WENT TO TURN OFF MY HEADLIGHTS THAT I DISCOVERED I HAD NOT TURNED THEM ON. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HEADLIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPERATED WITHOUT TAILLIGHTS BEING ON . *NM
