MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE COMPLETE THIRD TAILLIGHT COVER BLEW OFF. IT APPEARS THAT THE ADHESIVE THAT ATTACHES THE REAR SPOILER TO THE GLASS OF LIFT GATE HAS LOOSENED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE. IN 2016, MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I WAS ABLE TO START BACK UP. THE PASS LOCK FLASHED AND THEN IT SHUT OFF. I CHANGED THE KEY THINKING THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IN 2017 THE SOMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T THINK IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT WAS IT.

MY GAUGE CLUSTER WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND RUNNING. USUALLY AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL BUT NOW THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE AND I HAVE TO TAP ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER FOR THE GAUGES TO RESUME WORKING.THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2006 BUT CHEVY REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WHICH IS IN MY OPINION A SAFETY ISSUE

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPUN OUT ON SNOW WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. IT WENT TOWARDS THE LEFT THEN IMMEDIATELY JERKED AROUND TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED AS IT LAUNCHED US OFF THE ROADWAY AND INTO A GROUP OF TREES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T BUDGE, THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO TURN IN CIRCLES NOT CONTROLLING THE TIRES AT ALL. THE BACKSEAT BROKE APART BEFORE IMPACT AND WAS THROWING MY TEENAGE SON AROUND IN THE BACK. THE FRONT SEATS BROKE LOOSE AS WELL AND SLAMMED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER INTO THE DASH DURING IMPACT. THE SEATBELTS DID NOT ENGAGE TO LOCK INTO PLACE LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND DESPITE FULL FRONTAL DAMAGE AND A SUV DEEMED TOTALLED/DESTROYED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED OR ATTEMPTED TO DEPLOY. WE WERE ALL TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND ALL SUSTAINED INJURIES IN THE CRASH INCLUDING CUTS, BRUISES, WHIPLASH, AND MY DAUGHTER HAD A CONCUSSION. MY DAUGHTER HAD A VP SHUNT PLACED IN HER BRAIN LAST YEAR AND COULD'VE EASILY DIED IN THIS CRASH DUE TO HER INJURIES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS NOT WORKING!!

NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING WHEN I REACH SPEEDS OF ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH IT LOSES POWER, THE TACH. EVEN DECLINES IN IT'S READING. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE IS BEHIND ME WITH A ROPE, AND STEPPING ON THEIR BRAKES, SLOWING ME DOWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A STREET, MAKING NO TURNS, AND LET IT BASICALLY IDLE ROLL DOWN THE STREET. ALL THE WHILE, IT IS IN GEAR, ENGINE RUNNING, AND IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET
