NHTSA Complaint #10671008 — 2008 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

LEAVING MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, I MADE A LEFT TURN ON TO THE ROAD. WHILE IN THE TURN, MY SUV BEGAN TO STALL.THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON. I MANAGED TO COAST ON TO SOMEONE'S PROPERTY. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND SAT THERE FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. THEN, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND MANAGED TO GET HOME. I USED A SCANNER TO GET THE CODE FOR THE POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION. THE MALFUNCTION WAS LISTED AS P2135, WHICH READ, IN PART "THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH A/B VOLTAGE CORRELATION". THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS CITED IN NHTSA: ACTION NUMBER: 10047220 SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 340852., FOR THE MODEL YEAR 2008. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP AND GM, HAVE STATED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A GREAT SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION. WITH THE HUNDRED OF THOUSAND OF VEHICLES THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY GM FOR A MULTITUDE OF DEFECTS, SOMEHOW THE MODEL YEAR 2008, IS A MODEL OF PERFECTION. FORTUNATE FOR ME, THAT I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER. *TR
