I AM FILING A COMPLAINT .AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS UNTIL ALL OF THE CONSUMERS ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. AFTER INJECTING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK. THE FUEL CAP WAS REPLACED.

MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER LS ENGINE HAS STALLED AND COMPLETELY DIED WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON 9/8/06 AND I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT, ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR, THE ENGINE JUST DIED, AND I HAD TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. I FINALLY GOT IT RESTARTED AFTER TURNING OFF THE AC AND GOT IT OFF THE ROAD, TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AFTER 2 DAYS. I GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER AND IT PROCEEDED TO DIE ON ME ON 4 SEPARATE DAYS, EACH TIME WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND WITH THE A/C ON. I'VE SO FAR BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING CARS AND GET IT RESTARTED, BUT REFUSE TO DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE FOR FEAR OF BEING REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 9/18/2006...

2003 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER MAKES A ROARING SOUND WHILE DRIVING. *TS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN RODE WITH THE CONSUMER IN THE VEHICLE AND HEARD THE NOISE AS WELL. THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED EVERYTHING BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

SUBJECT:REDUCED POWER PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZER COMMENTS: I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS ON THREE OCCASIONS HAD A DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER AND A REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND LOSES ALL ACCELERATION. TWICE THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY TODDLER, AS MY CAR SLOWED FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR TO THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE TRIED TO RAISE THIS WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO BLATANTLY DISREGARDED MY SAFETY CONCERNS AND TOLD ME THAT MY CONCERNS WOULD GO NO FURTHER UP THAN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DESK LEVEL AND THEY COULD OFFER ME NO ASSISTANCE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A DOCUMENTED MANUFACTURING DEFECT, HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO RECALL ANY CARS AND...

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE DIES WHILE GOING 65 MPH . ALSO DIES AT IDLE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE. *AK

CONSUMER WAS STOPPED BY A POLICE OFFICER, WHO INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE OUT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT TAIL LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. *AK THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND SKIP UPON ACCELERATION, AT STOP SIGNS. TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND WHILE PARKING ON INCLINES. MULTIPLE COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY RECURRED. THE RADIO BECAME EXTREMELY HOT WHILE DRIVING ON LONG TRIPS. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE A/C UNIT FAILED INTERMITTENTLY BECAUSE OF A FAULTY A/C SWITCH. THE CONSUMER MENTIONED FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. *NM

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS; RACK AND PINION FAILED TWICE/AIR CONDITIONER MALFUNCTIONED TWICE/VEHICLE STALLED AT TAKE OFF/ OIL LEAK, AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. ALSO, VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE ON DRIVER'S SIDE WHILE DRIVING. *AK

MY 11-MONTH OLD 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS HAD MULTIPLE QUALITY PROBLEMS, TWICE AFFECTING MY SAFETY. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. THE 4WD HAS BECOME INOPERABLE NUMEROUS TIMES, ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AT NIGHT THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD IN ORDER TO SEE. AFTER ONE DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE 4WD PROBLEM, ANOTHER DEALER REPLACED MY IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THE TECHNICIAN SAID I HAD NO POWER AT ALL GOING TO THE "REAR GRID." I CONTINUE TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, INCLUDING NEAR STALLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND ONGOING 4WD FAILURES. THE CAR ALSO HAS VERY JERKY MOTION WHEN IN 4WD REVERSE, OF COURSE, WHEN THE 4WD IS WORKING AT ALL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL AND NOW I SEE THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. *LA

POOR PERFORMANCE FROM ENGINE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT PERFORM IN A NORMAL MANNER WHILE DRIVING. INTERMITTENT NO START PROBLEMS, EXTREMELY POOR FUEL ECONOMY ST TIMES, EXCESSIVE NOISE USUALLY AT START UP. VERY ROUGH IDLE AT TIMES AND VERY POOR ACCELERATION AT TIMES. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CROWLEY BUICK/OLDS DURING AN OIL CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. GM HAS OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER I WAS TOLD A YEAR AGO THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING "NORMALLY" BY A GM FACTORY REP WHO LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE. FOR THE PAST YEAR MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH MY 2 BOYS THAT DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACT GM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THREE TIMES THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. OTHER THAN "THANK YOU" EMAILS I HAVE YET TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY AT GM.

WHILE TRAVELING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN DECELERATION. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IT LOST POWER. *NLM
