general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

My 2008 Trailblazer powers down and traction control light comes on acceleration I feel this is dangerous to cars behind me.

While turning left at low speeds stabilitrak activates shutting power off to the wheels once you release gas petal for 5-10 seconds stabilitrak will return to normal and allow power back to wheels. This is a serious safety issue because if you pull out on the highway or any street and you loose power, you could get hit.

Purchased this vehicle from a dealer. The next day the truck was dead. It has since had the battery replaced 3 times. The exhaust manifold cracked at 82,000. The number 4 position on the blower does not work. The stabiltrak lights come on for no reason and go off for no reason. With all of the complaints, something should be done.

While driving the 2008 Trailblazer I started to experience a loss of brake pedal with the travel going all of the way to the floor, with hardly any braking function or stopping action. It was intermittent and would not happen more then once or twice at first. Then when I was in a parking lot, the brakes failed again and I hit a cement divider damaging the bumper of the vehicle. You would be driving the vehicle, and step on the brakes as you would be coasting into or coming up to a stop. You would let up on the pedal then hit it again, the 2nd time loosing all brake pressure and function. I had to take the vehicle into the gm dealership for service. There were no fluid leaks, or any type of brake rotor damage. The dealership came back saying that the master cylinder had failed on the vehicle. This is on a Chevrolet truck, 4x4 that is supposed to be heavy duty off road capable package. General motors would not cover the repair under any type of warranty claim. The repair cost me close to $800, and loss of vehicle use, along with the bumper damage. I have owned over a dozen general motors vehicles to date over a 30 year period. I have never, ever had a master cylinder fail on any of them. This is a poor quality controlled component and I want g. M. To compensate me for the repairs and damages. I have raised this issue through the general motors customer service line, and they refuse to cover the repairs.

Vehicles stabilitrac light comes on constantly. Repair listed for code is not the problem. Had same issue with my 2006 Trailblazer. Light comes on sporadically, even when backing out of my driveway at low rate of speed.

Stabilitrak lights on dash come on as I am leaving my driveway in the mornings and when I leave work in the evenings. This occurs when the steering wheel is turned to the right. They usually go off after stopping and restarting the vehicle. Sometimes they come on again within minutes. This problem is becoming more frequent and the lights are coming on and staying on more frequently. When I got my transmission serviced last week the mechanic pulled the code on it and it showed to be the steering wheel angle position sensor. I have found multiple instances of this same problem in automotive forums via google and it seems to be a common problem in this year model.
