I have a 2005 tb LS, and it's a pos. As soon as I drove off the lot I've had nothing but issues. My brakes pulsate, go to the floor, get stiff as a board, basically they don't work. I have to pump the brakes quickly in an effort to avoid a crash. I filled the gas tank to full, huge mistake. The moment I did that the check engine light has flashed and sporadic idling. It has a loud whine under the hood, front turn signals and hazard flasher randomly stopped working. Car will die if I run the a/c for more then 15 mins. It will pull to either side when I apply my brakes. I have always kept up with proper maintenance, tune up, etc. This is absolutely terrible, that so many have the same damn issues and yet chevy will not recognize/take responsibility for their obvious flaws and lack of mechanical knowledge. . I just want out of this damn lease and a replacement car!!!.

I was approaching a traffic signal. I hit my brakes when realizing the light was red. The anti-lock brakes locked up and I slid through the light hitting a turning car. This resulted in a frontal impact, but the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is totaled.
, I was approaching a line of cars stopped for a red light. The weather was clear and I was decelerating and moving at approximately 20 ± mph. As I began to apply the brakes, they failed catastrophically. The brake pedal hit the floor,with no resistance, and I ran into the back of a stopped pickup truck?. Watching it all unfold before my eyes while my foot frantically pumped the brake pedal, which hit the floor with each attempt. Although it was a front end collision, the airbags did not deploy.
I was stopped for my tail light being out. The next day, I replaced all of the fuses in the rear of my Trailblazer. Everything seemed to work, but then two weeks later I was stopped again for my tail lights not working. I replaced all the fuses, even though it was on one side (passenger side) then checked the circuit board, still the top tail light will not work. Found out that it does not work, when head lights are on. . That is why I was getting pulled over at night. Only one tail light is not working and I can not drive at night because I keep getting pulled over because of this defect. It comes out of the blue. I have noticed that my right blinker sometimes blinks really fast. Also, over the past month I have experienced a total power failure in my Trailblazer. Nothing will work. . . Its like the car was unplugged. . . Totally out and will not turn over, no lights, radio and power to ignition. . . Sometimes I can not remove my key or change into neutral. . . . Completely drained of all power. . . Where I need a jump, then it works fine, but the tail light is still out when my head lights are on. I am afraid of having a total power failure when driving, especially since my tail lights will not work the head lights are on.
While driving on I-93 north in MA I had to make an emergency stop to avoid an a rear end collision there was no contact with anything about a mile or two beyond that point there were people blowing horn and yelling I was on fire I went from the left travel lane to the breakdown lane and stopped upon exiting the vehicle the pass side had flames showing from under the car I walked around the front of the car and saw flames and dripping fire from the inside of the right wheel . The car "melted " down to the steel frame.
