Consumer Description

ON THE 2008 TRAILBLAZER, HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IN APRIL 2011 THE TUMBLER MECHANISM PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 27,225 MILES AND WAS REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. IN MAY 2014 HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE START POSITION. WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. WHILE WAITING FOR THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, I MOVED THE TILT STEERING WHEEL TO A DIFFERENT POSITION AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD FAILED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 71878. *TR
