NHTSA Complaint #10189871 — 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT

2002 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER EXT ON 3/3/07 - WHILE DRIVING TRUCK ON HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING. RESTARTED TRUCK AND PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN. MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WHICH INDICATED NO OIL PRESSURE. TRUCK WAS THEN TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP. OUR MECHANIC STATED THAT IT NEED A NEW OIL PUMP, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE- THIS WAS TOO BIG A JOB FOR HIS STATION. MY HUSBAND CALLED GENERAL MOTORS, SPOKE TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE, WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO COST SHARING WITH US THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN TO A GM AUTHORIZED REPAIR DEALER. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THAT SAME REP - WE WERE INFORMED BY THE CHEVY DEALER THAT WE NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS(635.00) OR THEY WOULD CHARGE US STORAGE FEES. STILL NO CONTACT FROM GM REP - OUR TRUCK IS STILL NOT FIXED AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET RESPONSE FROM GM - OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS SAME TRUCK HAVE BEEN AT OUR EXPENSE: REPLACED REAR WINDOW MOTORS FOR WINDOW, AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, REAR TAIL LIGHTS (TWICE) DUE TO RECALL AND LIGHTS NOT WORKING - SEAT ADJUSTMENT SWITCHES PANEL (TWICE) NOW THIS EXPENSE WHICH WILL COST OVER 4372.00 IF NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE TO TRUCK BY OIL PRESSURE NOT WORKING. *JB
