NHTSA Complaint #10028941 — 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

POOR PERFORMANCE FROM ENGINE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT PERFORM IN A NORMAL MANNER WHILE DRIVING. INTERMITTENT NO START PROBLEMS, EXTREMELY POOR FUEL ECONOMY ST TIMES, EXCESSIVE NOISE USUALLY AT START UP. VERY ROUGH IDLE AT TIMES AND VERY POOR ACCELERATION AT TIMES. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CROWLEY BUICK/OLDS DURING AN OIL CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. GM HAS OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER I WAS TOLD A YEAR AGO THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING "NORMALLY" BY A GM FACTORY REP WHO LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE. FOR THE PAST YEAR MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH MY 2 BOYS THAT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACT GM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THREE TIMES THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. OTHER THAN "THANK YOU" EMAILS I HAVE YET TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY AT GM.
