ENGINE
ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW WITHIN A TWO WEEK TIME FRAME, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MOTION AT APPROX. 25 TO 35 MPH. GET IT OVER TO PUT IN PARK AND IT DOES START UP SO FAR. I HAVE CHILDREN AND I COMMUTE ON AN EXTREMELY BUSY FREEWAY. WHAT IF THIS FAILURE OCCURS WHILE I'M MOVING AT 70MPH PLUS? MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED SOME PARTS IN HOPES IT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON/OFF FOR MONTHS BUT NOTHING OF A MAJOR CONCERN IS SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER. I UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE HAS 150K MILES BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE REAR SPOILER LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TRIED TO REMOVE IT WITH A SCREWDRIVER. EVENTUALLY IT CAME TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD "FLAP" IN THE WIND WHEN DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING, IT CAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE ELECTRICAL CORD, IT COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP FIXES IT, BUT IT BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING WITHIN A YEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN. AGAIN, THE FIX FAILED. I TOOK IT A THIRD TIME AND IT HAS JUST FAILED AGAIN, I WILL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND POSSIBLY A DEALER SHOP TO LOOK AT IT. I AM READING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2005 TRAIL BLAZERS. I HAVE PAID FOR A REPAIR ONCE AND FIND IT DIFFICULT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN THAT IS NO FAULT OF MINE OR REPEATED TAMPERING.
