general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

In a very severe head on crash 4/8/2022 the air bag did not deploy.

Brakes failed for no apparent reason around 8:00 am that morning. My friend and I was driving to my home in his 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer after many stops that morning. We was on the interstate doing 65 mph. I noticed the traffic ahead approaching and I said "cars" indicating to my friend to slow down. He said "I have no brakes!" we narrowly missed the first cars and while readjusting we came into contact with the driver side of three vehicles rolling us on our side! I broke both my arms escaping thankfully with my life. We had no idea what suddenly and unexpectedly lost brakes. Weeks afterwards I started reading about the stabilitrac and steering sensor on the 1 of many Chevrolet vehicle defect issues. Around that year and I believe was the problem. I have been out of work and tried to explain this to people with no reply. I read an article about Chevrolet told about the issue and refused a recall. Senator blumenthal requested an investigation but I haven't seen anything after a judge requested a Chevrolet ceo deposed. If this vehicle has these dangerous problems please know that it almost killed my friend and I. Https://gmauthority.

The airbag deactivated light on the dash cluster comes on and off but mostly stays on now. No codes showing the cause. While driving both low beam headlights suddenly turned off, later diagnosis showed an electrical issue that melted both low beam light connectors and wires at the bulb end, new connectors were installed. Two different times within 1yr the heater blower motor relay has gotten hot enough to melt the connector and burn out the relay, connector replaced twice and currently melting again as fan speed 1, 4, and 5 have again stopped working. Heater blower motor also replaced twice concurrent with relay.

On August 18, 2017, I leased-to-own a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer from action auto of tupelo, ms. Around the first week of October of 2018, I had lend said vehicle to my sister. She contacted me saying that the engine was making a knocking noise, and brought the vehicle back to me, where I inspected it while it was stationary. To rule out everything else before I acknowledged the sound of the knock being a severe mechanical failure of the engine, I connected a diagnostic scanner to the can data connector on the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. In seconds the screen on the scanner was flooded with faults, but then the scanner started beeping, saying that the srs (supplemental restraint system) had been activated. Looking around the vehicle I didn't see any sign of any airbag being deployed, or any seatbelt missing. It wasn't until I checked the connectors coming out of the airbag module that I saw for the first time that the airbags were missing. I informed my insurance provider regarding the issue, which they assumed that the vehicle was in a current accident. In which it was not. After further explanation, they cancelled the insurance as airbag deployment are one of the critical key factors that insurance providers use to determine whether a vechicle is totaled or not. I contacted action auto of oxford, ms, their main branch I presume, and informed them of the problem and to come and retrieve the vehicle as driving it without insurance is a violation of mississippi's state's law, and the engine had experienced severe mechanical failure which made it unsafe to drive. Action auto retrieved the vehicle, but stated that I had broke promises in our agreement, and that the vehicle would be auctioned off this year, in which they did. Federal law requires all vehicles made after 1997 are equipped with airbags and title 49 �30112 forbids the sell of a non-conforming vehicle.

2006 chevy Trailblazer spun out on snow while my daughter was driving. It went towards the left then immediately jerked around to the right and continued to gain speed as it launched us off the roadway and into a group of trees. The brake pedal wouldn't budge, the steering wheel continued to turn in circles not controlling the tires at all. The backseat broke apart before impact and was throwing my teenage son around in the back. The front seats broke loose as well and slammed both driver and passenger into the dash during impact. The seatbelts did not engage to lock into place like they are supposed to and despite full frontal damage and a SUV deemed totalled/destroyed by my insurance company, not a single airbag deployed or attempted to deploy. We were all trapped inside the vehicle down an embankment and all sustained injuries in the crash including cuts, bruises, whiplash, and my daughter had a concussion. My daughter had a vp shunt placed in her brain last year and could've easily died in this crash due to her injuries. Something needs to be done about these airbags and seatbelts not working!!.

My son was in an accident in his 2006 Trailblazer. He was crossing a city street intersection when another vehicle struck his truck on the drivers side at an estimated 40+mph, the truck flipped and slid about 15-20 feet. None of the airbags deployed.

Vehicle was traveling on city street at 30mph when it struck a utility pole, shearing it off at the base. Vehicle then traveled straight up a hill and struck a house, coming to rest there. None of the air bags deployed. . Read more...

The contact owned a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer 360. While driving approximately 5 mph, the rear seat air bags deployed without warning or impact. The contact took the vehicle to be inspected by the insurance company. The vehicle was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was unable to assist. The contact stated that there were no failures found on the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

I was driving down the highway and had got cut off by a car. I swerved and avoided hitting the car but ended up hitting the median almost directly head on. The whole front of the vehicle was smashed in and the vehicle was totaled. The airbags never went off, me and my passenger were both wearing our seat belt and I ended up hitting my head on the steering wheel leaving me unconscious. An ambulance rushed me to the hospital and I received 10 stitches above my left eye.

Inertia reel on seatbelt failed. No air bag deployment. 2006 Trailblazer, full straight head on crash.

Around 11:45pm a 2006 chevy Trailblazer traveling over the speed limit on my street crashed into a tree, a parked car, and then continued to roll over across my front lawn, landing sideways after flipping several times. The occupants were severely injured. No airbags deployed during the crash. The driver of the vehicle is in icu needing facial reconstructive surgery.
