I purchased a 2005 chevy Trailblazer less than a year ago. Since that time the vehicle has been in the service center four different times. Each time the vehicle has failed to start. The dealer states that the rear hatch module continues to short out. This module causes the entire vehicle to short out. I have expressed my concerns with the safety of this vehicle with the dealer and have not gotten anywhere. I an a single mother of a two year old. I am only interested in the safety of my child. Jack schmitt Chevrolet of o'fallon illinois will not stand behind the vehicle that they sold or admit that there is a problem. The last time I brought my vehicle in for this problem they told me that it was the ignition. When I came to pick up the vehicle after they had "fixed" it, the vehicle would not start. They admitted that it was in fact the rear hatch module again and that they had made an educated guess the first time in order to save time. I would like someone to hold this dealership responsible for the defect in this car and to stop giving consumers the run around.
Purchased 2005 Trailblazer 3/8/05 @ bacon Chevrolet in palestine,TX. Problems: while driving headlight & interior dashboard lights flicker & shut off, engine loses power & surges lunging forward, battery gauge drops & pegs out, check engine light comes on, ding alarm, radio, electric locks, etc, w/ no key in ignition go off & on, no power cant start vehicle. Svc mgr/tech comments: cant duplicate complaint, no codes showing, gm bulletin stating "normal" & working as designed, can not replace or work on anymore due to tech/gm motors stating "normal", or until problem can be duplicated or until they have a way to fix. Repairs:(total of 9 times in shop) 2 headlamp switches, 1 battery, 3 times wiring harness gone through, numerous pcm updates/reprograms, fuel pressure check, ipc reprogram, data recorder installed, replaced bcm body control module, workorders have been altered & work stated done that has not been done. I have all my workorders. Conclusion: took to bbb of tyler,TX. Cs#chv0592738, had arbitration hearing. Bbb's decision was that their opinion was that the lights going off while driving was not a safety issue. Thought the bbb was suppose to be a consumer advocate! I found this website while doing a college research paper. How many other consumers have same problem, but do not know about this website. Will anything be done before someone is killed or is that what it will take!.
