1 Engine Failure problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2009

My vehicle is a 2002 chevy Trailblazer. I am writing today regarding the engine that has failed three times. There were multiple recalls on the vehicle including; air conditioning systems, back tail lights etc. The engine failed, and was replaced before 32k miles and again at 72k. Now on the third time, the warranty is expired! when we contacted gm inc. They asked us to take the vehicle to there local shop. The shop took the vehicle apart and decided per gm that the vehicle was not under warranty, which is information gm knew from the beginning. I feel that they are shelling their responsibility for a lemon product they made. I have had nothing but problems with this SUV. As I remember my tax dollars bailed them out and help gm stay afloat! I am not asking for much. I paid cash $26,544 for this gm product. They got paid and the only thing I got is pain from an SUV that was defective from the start. I can't afford to fix a truck I already paid for and maintained as the manufacturer suggested. After working 30 years, I have fallen ill and now I am on a fixed income. I am only asking for my SUV to be fixed by gm because they know this is a defective product. To add, I am not the only one having this issue with my chevy Trailblazer. I need my vehicle, its my transportation to the doctor. I thought I had a reliable SUV that would last me. Gm you are wrong for selling a disabled women a lemon with problems from day one then refusing to take responsibility! honor your product. Even wal-mart take back defective products. Car companies should be no different. Shame shame shame gm!!!!!! p. S. They still have my truck at the local shop. No one will return my calls!! shame.
