CHILD SEAT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF SAFETY ISSUES. THE FIRST WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS OF THE CAR HAVING SPELLS WHERE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME I HAD TO STOP THE CAR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN FOR REPAIR. THE HAVE SINCE REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND ISSUE WAS THE CAR WAS STALLING INTERMITTENTALY. THE FINAL TIME I HAD IT TOWED IN AND THERE WAS SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE THEY HAVE RESOLVED. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO RESOLVE THE THIRD ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THE CAR ENGINE IS REVING VERY LOUDLY AND IF I ACCELERATE BEYOND 40 MILES/HOUR THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP YET BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN IN ON THIS ISSUE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CLASSIC CHEVROLET AND THEY LIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD THE LATCH SYSTEM AND WHEN MY SON WAS BORN IN MAY I FOUND OUT THAT IN FACT IT DID NOT HAVE THE LATCH SYSTEM. GMC HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO WAY TO REPROMAND THE DEALERSHIP FOR LYING ABOUT SAFETY FEATURES ON CARS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANTED A NEW SAFE CAR TO START A FAMILY AND I ENDED UP WITH A LEMON OF A CAR THAT IS THE MOST MECHANICALLY UNSTABLE THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRANDED WHEN I WAS PREGNANT NEARLY AN DOZEN TIMES.*AK

I HAVE HAD EVERY RECALL THERE IS AND THEN SOME THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST. BRAKE LIGHTS IS A BIG ISSUE, THEY ARE NOT ON THE RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE! THEY ARE NOT SEALED PROPERLY SO THE CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND THEN THEY GO OUT CONSTANTLY! IF YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, YOU PAY!!*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
2003, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS. 4 WHEEL DRIVE. STANDARD LENGTH CHASIS. 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. PROBLEM EXPERIENCED; UPON ACCELERATION ONTO THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LOST POWER FOR APPX. 5 SECONDS. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMAINED DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE RESUMED ACCELERATION AFTER THE TIME SPECIFIED. CREATED MUCH FEAR, SINCE INTERSTATE TRAFFIC SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, AND CARS ON THE INTERSATE CAME UP ONTO THE BUMPER VERY QUICKLY. THIS IS THE ONLY OCCURENCE TO DATE. ALSO, GASOLINE FILLER NECK TOO NARROW, OR VENT HOSE CONSTRICTED? FREQUENT REFLUX OF GASOLINE DURING THE PROCESS OF FILLING. TAKES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO "TOP THE TANK". SO MUCH TIME THAT, I HAVE YET TO BEEN ABLE TO "TOP" THE TANK. PROBLEM OCCURS AT EVERY PUMP, NOT INDIGENOUS TO THE GAS PUMP, APPEARS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
AIR/HEAT VENTS HAVE A REALLY BAD ODOR. THE DEALER HAS CLEANED AND SPRAY SOMETHING IN THEM AND SUGGESTED I DO THE SAME. I HAVE DONE SO. THIS CAUSES A SEVERE SMELL IN THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THAT MAKES OCCUPANTS SICK, THEN THE SMELL WILL DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEN RETURN. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS SOME TYPE OF MOLD OR MILDEW IN THE VENTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS PUTTING GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE GAS PUMP KEEPS STOPPING - AS IF THE CAR IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH STATION I GO TO. THE DEALER REPLACED SOME FILLER HOSES OR SOMETHING AFTER I HAD TAKEN IT IN A FEW TIMES, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND SOMETIMES I ONLY FILL THE CAR UP 1/2 - 3/4 FULL BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL IF IT IS FULL OR NOT. I SQUEEZE THE HANDLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY KICKS OFF. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN OTHERS ARE FUELING THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I TURN THE NOZZLE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OR PULL IT PART OF THE WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO FREQUENTLY OVERFILL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS FULL. I NOTICED SOMEONE ELSE REPORTED THIS AS A CONSUMER COMPLAINT - SO IT'S NOT JUST MY TRAILBLAZER WITH THE PROBLEM! IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO FILL THE TANK WHEN YOU CAN ONLY PUT 1 SECOND WORTH OF GAS IN AT A TIME! NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT, SO I AM PROBABLY STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM AS LONG AS I HAVE THE VEHICLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I STRUCK WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SMALL PIECE OF DEBRIS ON THE INTERSTATE. I FOUND OUT AN HOUR LATER THAT IT PUNCTURED MY FUEL TANK. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THE LEAK UNTIL THE PARKING GARAGE I PARKED IN FOR THAT 1 HOUR WAS CLOSED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DUE TO MY LEAK. HOW CAN A SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE HAVE A PLASTIC GAS TANK AND NO SKID PLATE FOR PROTECTION? THE GAS TANK IS ON "BACK ORDER" FROM GM. IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THIS SET UP?*AK
