NHTSA Complaint #10292639 — 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

MY HEAT GAUGE WOULD SHOW FAST RISING TEMP. OF THE ENGINE. THE DEALER DID NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TOLD THEM IT MUST BE THE TEMP. SENDING UNIT. THEY SAID THEY NEVER GO BAD....CALLED LATER TO SAY IT WAS THE HEAT SENSOR, REPLACED IT, TORE THE THERMOSTAT OUT OF MY TRAIL BLAZER, SAID IT WAS BAD [I DON'T THINK SO], REPLACED IT AND THEN SAID I NEEDED TO HAVE MY SEVEN COMPUTERS REPROGRAMMED SO THE CAR WOULD RUN RIGHT.[I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT EITHER]. SINCE EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON COMPUTERS TO DIAGNOSE EVERYTHING, I HAD TO HAVE THEM DO WHATEVER THE DEALER SAID. SO, I FEEL THAT I WAS RIPPED OFF FOR UNNEEDED PARTS AND SERVICE...TO THE TUNE OF $750. WHAT A RIP OFF ! ! ! ! *TR
