NHTSA Complaint #10658615 — 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360

WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE TRUCK MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH AND WENT TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP, IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE FINALLY STOPPED. AFTER THAT WE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS NEW.. IT IS 2014 AND STILL HAVE THE TRUCK AND STILL DOES THE SAME THING. LAST WINTER I HAD A BAD INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AND ALMOST GOT INTO A VERY BAD ACCIDENT, THANK GOD I WAS ABLE WALK AWAY WITH NO INJURIES. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO SAY THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE MECHANISM OF THE TRUCK AND THEY SAY THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE DEALER JUST WONT TAKE THE TRUCK FOR A TEST DRIVE AND SEE WHY WE ARE SO CONCERNED. THEY WANT TO CHARGE US ALMOST $300 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE TRUCK WHICH WE REFUSE TO PAY FOR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MIDAS AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING BAD BRAKE SENSORS, WHICH MAKES ALL THE SENSE. I JUST DON'T GET IT.. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT WERE GIVEN BEFORE THE LATEST ELECTRICAL SHORT RECALL THEY HAD, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD TAKE CUSTOMERS SERIOUSLY BEFORE ANY MORE DEATHS OCCUR, BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. *TR
