ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER'S SPEEDOMETER WAS INTERMITTENTLY SHOWING THAT I WAS GOING FROM 100 TO 120 MPH. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I WAS ACTUALLY GOING OR EVEN IF I WAS SITTING STILL. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET HOTLINE BECAUSE I NOTICED OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY WERE BASICALLY NOT HELPFUL. AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THERE ARE ABOUT THIS DEFECT, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE NHTSA HAS NOT STEPPED IN. IT IS NOW HAPPENING ALL THE TIME AS IT IS APPROACHING 74,000 MILES WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE MILEAGE WHEN EVERYONE IS STATING THEY ARE HAVING THE MOST TROUBLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
(ON OR ABOUT JAN 9, 2015) UPON DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE 2006 TRAILBLAZER STALLED. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO CAR WAS BEHIND ME SINCE IT WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, AND I SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. AT THAT TIME THE PASSLOCK LIGHT LIT ON THE DASHBOARD. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED. (AGAIN ON FEB 4, 2015) DRIVING ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH (INTENDING TO TURN LEFT IN A APPROX 50 YARDS) IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE TRAILBLAZER STALLED. AGAIN THE PASSLOCK LIGHT LIT ON THE DASHBOARD, I AGAIN QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED. AGAIN WE WERE FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE A CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND US, OR WE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN REAR ENDED! *TR
