TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAD STALLING PROBLEMS WHICH STARTED BACK IN MARCH 2006. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL POWER. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SHE STATED THAT ON 04/06 SHE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I LEASE A NEW VEHICLE, TRAILER BLAZER ON DEC 31ST 2005, FROM GRAND PRIZE CHEVROLET ON SW117 AV AND 152 ST. AT THE END OF JUNE 2006 I HAD A BLEW UP TIRE ON I 75 GOING NORTH, REACHING TAMPA. IT EXPLODED ON A SIDE AND BECAUSE THE WAY IT LOOKED I SUSPECT IT WAS DEFECTIVE TIRE. I CALL THE SELLER AT THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED TO HIM. HE TOLD ME TO BRING THE TIRE TO BE INSPECTED. MY WIFE DID IT AND THEY DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT, THEY SAID IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. AM I IN ANY WAY, SINCE IT HAS ONLY 6 MONTH AFTER LEASING IT, PROTECTED AGAINST A POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE TIRE ISSUE? *NM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR ALL THE WAY, THE FLOOR MAT TRAPPED IT WIDE OPEN. THIS IN RETURN CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPEED OUT OF CONTROL. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE BETWEEN MY FIANCE AND I THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. BECAUSE I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM I JUST KICKED THE FLOOR MAT AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED. VERY SCARY FEELING IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *JB

PARKING BRAKE, STEERING
WE OWN A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND SINCE IT HAD ABOUT 500 MILES WE STARTED RUNNING INTO PROBLEMS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO THE BRAKES MAKE A WHISTLING NOISE AND CHEVY INSISTS THAT IT IS NOT THE SERVICE BULLETIN THEY HAVE POSTED UP REGARDING THE FRONT AXLE MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY IT STEERS ON TURNS. THIS CAR HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE IF THIS MANY PROBLEMS OCCURRED SINCE 500 MILES. IT NOW HAS 1400 MILES. *JB
