NHTSA Complaint #10189787 — 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

ON 04/06 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 05 TRAILBLAZER THAT WE HAVE HAD ABOUT A YEAR AND THE DEALER ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND NOW THE BRAKES JUST WENT COMPLETELY OUT WITHOUT WARNING. IT CAUSED HER TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM REFUSES TO WORK WITH US THEY TOLD US THEY ALREADY PUT THE NEW ENGINE IN IT AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT. IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT THEN WHY DID THEY KEEP IT 2 MONTHS RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT? I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC NEAR WHERE WE LIVE AND HE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER FOR THE BRAKES AND THEY WORK FINE NOW. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY 75 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO TELL US WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. AS SOON AS YOU FIX SOMETHING, SOMETHING ELSE MAJOR GOES WRONG WITH IT. YOU NAME IT AND I HAVE PROBABLY HAD IT WORKED ON IN THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND TRIED TO WORK WITH THEM AND JUST REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITH ONE I COULD PUT MY WIFE AND KIDS IN WITHOUT WORRY IF SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING TO GO WRONG WITH IT AND SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT OR KILLED. I JUST NEED HELP TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN SO I CAN GET A RELIABLE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY. JUST WANT THE DEALER TO WORK WITH ME AND CANCEL THIS LOAN OUT AND I WILL GLADLY BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *JB
