Consumer Description

IN THE FALL OF 2012, I HAD TO REPLACE AN IGNITION SWITCH IN MY TRAILBLAZER AT APPROX. 90,000 MILES. THEN, IN JULY OF 2013, WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN CT, HEAVY TRAFFIC, HIGH SPEEDS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST DIED. I, FORTUNATELY, WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OFF THE ROAD. A CT TROOPER SAT BEHIND US FOR AN HOUR WHILE WE WAITED FOR AAA. IT WAS A SUNDAY. WE WERE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN OLD SAYSBROOK, ESSEX CT. HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN A HOTEL AND THAT MONDAY, THE DEALER PUT IN ANOTHER IGNITION SWITCH. MY MILEAGE WAS A LITTLE OVER 100,000. HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION. HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE IN TRAILBLAZERS? IS MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE. *TR
