I go in my car and start it, and its fine going down the road, but once I cut the car off while I run into the store, and I come back out, start the car, and start going down the road, the traction control light comes on, and "servicestabilitytrak" comes across the little screen, and won't cut off at all until I turn the car back off.

Parts been acting up on me. Been having numerous problems with hydraulic hose on steering, windows/locks electrical and been constantly replacing wheels and hub bearings.

I was pulling out of my driveway turing left and the stablizer light on the dashboard came on . I pulled over shut my car down . And started back up the light was gone when ever I drive and I go 60 mph my sterring wheel starts shaking and my stablizer light comes on and the vec. Shuts down. All I have to do is make a turn not even quickly and the light comes on.

Steering wheel position sensor failure of this sensor can cause assist problems. . . I belong to a trailvoy club for Trailblazer's and have read that there is several members that have reported problems with this steering wheel position sensor. . . A quote for repair is around $200 with the sensor cost of another $100, total bill of $300 and when the light stability control comes on it can cause the steering to be eractic, which not only in dangers your life but everyone and every thing in you path!.

When I make left or right turns the truck shuts off all the gauges read as normal except for the rpm's I loose power stearing and cannot exelerate it does not happen at an spacific time or place it is just random so I do not know when it may do this some days nothing happens other days it happens 2-4 times and it is a bit scarey when you are making a left turn especial I am not sure what this is or what is causing it but this I have had the battery and the alternater checked and other components checked out but they could not find anything and of course while the dealer had it did not do it so I am not sure but this is deffentley something that needs to be looked into like I say when I make turns I lose power , loose my stearing and the ablity to accelerate and all gauges read normal except the rpm's they are the only one that go down to zero.

I was involved in an automobile accident out of state. I was traveling during the evening hours to try to avoid heavy traffic. I started having trouble with the dim lights and could only proceed using the bright lights. The next thing I realize is that I am unable to control the vehicle and struck another vehicle on the road. I then proceeded to slide down an embankment approximately 30 feet. My vehicle sustained enormous damage to the front and side of the vehicle. The front airbags did not deploy and my vehicle was deemed totaled by my insurer.

First incident: (23 August 2013) driving to stop at stop sign at approximately 15mph , vehicle turned off without any warning lights. Second incident: (26 August 2013) driving on highway going close to 65 mph, once again vehicle turned off without any warning lights. Had to turn hazards off and coast to safe zone while cars were passing me going 65-80mph. Third incident: (28 August 2013) driving close to 50 mph, once again vehicle shut off without any warning lights. Once again had to coast to the median and hope not to get in a car wreck. All 3 of these incidents happened with my 2 year old daughter in the vehicle. I have also done research through various forums and websites. It happens without any warning at all and from what I have read there is only a temporary fix by changing the ignition switch but months later it comes back. The only thing that you can do (from my knowledge) is let it sit for an hour or 2 and then it starts up fine, but when your driving at 70 mph the last thing you want is for your vehicle to completely shut off on the highway. There are thousands of people in the exact same situation as me hoping the next time they get into their vehicle they wont be in an accident. Thank you for your consideration.

When I was driving downhill on curvy road, I applied the brakes during a turn and the power steering had activated my anti-lock brakes. It kept happening on every turn and when I took my car to a shop they had to replace a steering angle sensor.

I spent over $1000 to have this problem fix, years ago, today 5/27/20016 I having the same problems. This truck is important to me and my kid. Turn the key and it want start, wait ten miniutes and try it again it starts, but while driving it the engine shuts down in traffic. Pull over to the side try to start it again sometimes it will start wright away no problem but other time it will take longer prolike the next day. The major concern is while I am driving with my son, the engine would shut down on the highway and local streets. Everytime this happen I am concern someone will rear end my truck and someone will be hurt. I try different mechanic the same problems. I needed help?.
