AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 TRAILBLAZER THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY FROZE ON ME AND I COULD NOT TURN THE VEHICLE IN ANY DIRECTION. I ENDED UP DRIVING IT INTO SOMEONES YARD BEFORE I COULD GET IT STOPPED. AFTER HAVING IT TAKEN TO A GARAGE THEY TOLD ME MY POWER STEERING LINES ETC WERE BLOWN. THEY HAVE SINCE FIXED THIS ISSUE, VERY COSTLY TO ME THOUGH, AND THEN THEY INFORMED ME THAT WHILE CHECKING THE VEHICLE OUT THEY FOUND MY TRANSMISSION LINES ARE VERY CORRODED. SO THAT IS THE NEXT ISSUE TO BE FIXED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER HAVING TAKEN A 25 MILE TRIP, I DISCOVERED A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER MY CAR AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE POWER STEERING LINES HAD ALL RUSTED IN A SHOCK MOUNT AND RUPTURED RELEASING THE POWER STEERING FLUID. MY MECHANIC SAID IF ALL THE OIL HAD DRAINED OUT, IT WOULD HAVE BURNED UP THE PUMP AND COST AN ADDITIONAL $350. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR $623. *TR

POWER STEERING LINES CORRODED AND LEAKING AT/FROM RUBBER MOUNT ON L WHEEL WELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS,FRONT WHEELS WENT INTO A SPEED WOBBLE,I LIGHTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND IT BECAME WORSE. I TOOK THE TRAILBLAZER TO THE MICHELIN TIRE DEALER AND HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BALANCE OR RUN-OUT ON THE TIRES,SO I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR
