TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TEN SECONDS LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE DROVE TO A NEARBY DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND DID NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH ENERGY TO THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, HE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME DEFECT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 33,900.

CAR STARTED MAKING A VERY FAINT WHINING SOUND AND HAS GOTTEN QUITE LOUD AND HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND SPOKE TO OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SO FAR HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR BEARING GOES OUT IN THE ALTERNATOR QUITE EARLY AS IN MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT.*TR
2006 CHEVY TRAILBAZER HAS A BAD ALTERNATOR. I TOOK THE DAY OFF WORK TO FIX THE VEHICLE. TO MY SURPRISE YOU CAN'T GET ONE FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM ANYWHERE. THEY ARE ON BACKORDER THROUGH GM. I GUESS I NEED TO FIND A NEW WAY TO WORK UNTIL MY NEW ONE ARRIVES. *JB
