NHTSA Complaint #10511527 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

MY SON AND I WERE OUT TODAY SHOPPING LOCALLY ONLY ABOUT 1 MILE FROM OUR HOME. THE CAR WAS FINE AND EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ACCELERATION ON THE CAR STARTED TO DECLINE EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS THE CAR JUST SEEMED TO DO NOTHING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND TRAFFIC WAS VICIOUS, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND ATTEMPTED TO TRY AND PUSH ON THE GAS. I CAR CAME TO A STOP BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT I WAS CLEARLY IN DRIVE. I CONTACTED ONSTAR THEY CALLED THE POLICE TO MAKE SURE WE DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT, AS I STATED EARLIER, WE WERE IN TRAFFIC. I RECEIVED A PUSH TO A SAFE SIDE OF THE STREET AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED UP FINE, IT JUST WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE, NO MOVEMENT. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO MY HOME BECAUSE IT WAS 110 DEGREES AND I HAD MY YOUNGEST CHILD WITH ME. WE WAITED 2 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK, I WAS DEHYDRATED AND FAINT BY THE TIME WE MADE IT HOME. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AS WE JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2013 FROM EZCARSANDCREDIT IN RIVERSIDE CA, THEY SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, THEY WILL HAVE THE MANAGER CALL US BACK TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, THAT WAS 4 HOURS AGO AND STILL NO CALL. *TR
