5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2002

I purchased a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS on sept. 19,2002. Within the first week I noticed a hesitation when accelerating from a stop. I contacted the dealer, and they told me they would check it at my first oil change 2500 miles. They did, and told me that there was nothing wrong with the truck. The computer showed no problems. Being a intermittent problem ,the service rep said it would be hard to find the problem. Since then(Dec. 2002),the problem has intermittently occurred several more times,stalling at red light twice. A safety hazard. The truck has been to the dealer service two more times for this problem with no repairs made. The truck now has 10,500 miles and still does not run properly.
