WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING, THE ENGINE SHUTOFF SHUT OFF WITH NO INDICATION AT ALL. WE WERE STARTING TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN THE CORNER TO HEAD TO THE SCHOOL WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPONENTS (BATTERY, IGNITION SWITCH, ALTERNATOR, STARTER RELAY) CHANGED OUT THE FIXED THE ENGINE LIGHT, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO STALL. I HAVE SEEN OVER 500 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE WHO HAS HAD IT FIXED YET. *TR

I HAVE A RARE TRAILBLAZER WITH A 5.3L V8. IT IS VERY LOW MILES WITH 41000, OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-4000 MILES AT GM DEALERSHIPS. I AM AN EX DIESEL MECHANIC OF 10 YEARS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE DEALERSHIP STATED: THAT 1 QUART OF OIL USED IN 2000 MILES WAS NORMAL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER SITES AND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 5.3L IN THE 1/2 TONS AND LARGER SUVS THAT THE MOTOR IS STANDARD IN. I HAVE WORKED ON ALMOST EVERY GAS, NATURAL GAS AND DIESEL ENGINE FROM THE 80S-LATE 90S AND ANY MOTOR THAT USES 1/6TH OF ITS OIL IN 1000 MILES AS IT MINE DID WHEN VISITING FAMILY LAST THANKSGIVING IS NOT NORMAL 1 QUART IN 770 MILES. I THOUGHT: WELL MUST HAVE GOTTEN A BAD MOTOR (LUCK OF THE DRAW), IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO...

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER HOME AFTER A 150 MILE TRIP TO COLUMBUS AND NOTICED OIL SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY. I MOVED AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN ANOTHER LOCATION WHERE A LARGE PUDDLE OF "OIL." FELL UNDER THE ENGINE. I CLIMBED UNDERNEATH AND SAW TRANSMISSION FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE FRAME ONTO THE GROUND. I CALLED GRAHAM CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE AS IT WOULD CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN A COSTLY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED ON A FLATBED TRUCK TO GRAHAM CHEVROLET WHERE THEY REPLACED THE CORRODED AND LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES WITH A BILL OF OVER $500.00 FOR THE WORK DONE. THEY SAID GM KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND IT IS COMMON TO THESES VEHICLES, BUT NO RECALL OR WARRANTY REPAIR WAS AUTHORIZED. IT WAS THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM TO TAKE CARE OF. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OTHERS...

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT, THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL LIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT LIGHTS WOULD COMPLETELY GO OUT FOR A BRIEF SECOND OR TWO AND THEN TURN BACK ON. WHEN I GOT HOME, THERE WAS AN ODD FAN/VACUUM NOISE FROM MY ENGINE. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE AIR FILTER AREA. THE NOISE WOULD TURN RANDOMLY START AND STOP AND RUN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I UNHOOKED MY BATTERY, BUT MY BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED IN THE MORNING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE NOISE WOULD RANDOMLY START AND STOP, MOST NOTICEABLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THE ISSUE IS THE A.I.R PUMP RELAY...

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. FOUND NO FUEL IN SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH FUEL INDICATOR NOTED A HALF TANK. A WEEK AFTER THIS THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON 15 MILES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE AND WILL NOT GO OFF. WE NOW HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL BY USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS STARTING TO FLUCTUATE. I JUST FILLED IT UP AND WHEN I GO DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL GO DOWN AT LEAST A QUARTER OF A TANK AND WHEN I STOP AND LET IT RUN IDLE FOR AWHILE IT WILL GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS. IT JUST STARTED THIS PAST WEEK. FROM WHAT I AM READING, IT WON'T BELONG BEFORE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER BUNCH OF MONEY INTO IT. LAST MONTH I HAD TO PUT A NEW THROTTLE BODY ON IT BECAUSE THE SENSORS WENT BAD AND WITH THIS YEAR THE SENSORS ARE IN THE THROTTLE BODY, SO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. AS I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE PART FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SEAT JUST BUSTED OFF. EVERYTIME IT GETS COLDER OUT, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM WON'T STAY ON. IT...

SOME OF THE ITEMS FORTHCOMING HAPPEN ALL TOGETHER AND/OR INTERMITTENTLY SEPARATE. THE INITIAL ISSUES NOTICEABLY STARTED UPON MY ARRIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED BEFORE MY RELOCATION, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID MYSELF. I CAME OUT TO MY CAR ON SATURDAY, 6/16/12. MY CAR WINDOW WAS DOWN AND SOME ITEMS WERE STOLEN. I DID NOT SEE ANY GLASS ON THE GROUND SO I THOUGHT I LEFT THE WINDOW DOWN MYSELF AND SOMEONE JUST STOLEN ITEMS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE COMPLEX SECURITY AND REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO HOA, I CAME OUT THE TRUCK AGAIN IT SMELLED OF WIRES BURNING AND THE WINDOW WAS DOWN AGAIN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO GET THE WHEELS BALANCED AND OIL CHANGE AT FIRESTONE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT, NOR DID THE ENGINE AND OIL...
