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.

I have been hearing a clicking noise and my car had begun sounding like a jet engine taking off for the last 3 days - very noisy. I took it to pep boys where I was told that it is normal for the Trailblazer to begin making this noise shortly after 60k miles. I was told the serpentine belt needed to be replaced, tensioner pulley and the idler pulley. I had the new parts installed. None of my warning lights came on the dashboard so I assumed was well as there was no other indication that something was wrong. Driving my car within 24 hours of being fixed, the fan clutch seized and my water pump burst causing car to overheat in the middle of an intersection where my car then stalled putting me and my children at risk for injury. The car almost caught on fire it was smoking severely. Someone helped me move my car out of the busy intersection and I called my husband and a tow truck to come get the car. When I got home and looked up the problems again on the dealer website, I found hundreds of forums where the fan clutch has been mentioned and the water pump too. A fan clutch according to the mechanics I surveyed stated they should last at least 100k or more. This has been brought to gm and they ignore it. It is a safety issue. Additionally, my speedomter hasn't worked for at least a year and when I called chevy they wanted to charge me $700 to replace it when it is not my issues. I didn't cause it. Not knowing what speed you are going is definitely a safety hazard and can cause accidents or tickets. . Read more...

Trailblazer sounds like a jet engine with a lot of "wind" noise. Took it to the dealer and found that the fan clutch went bad. Not only is the fan clutch failing on multiple Trailblazers but chevy made this part so dynamic that the cost is outrageous. Also, due to the fan clutch going bad it also damages the serpentine belt.

I am filing a complaint . And will continue to file complaints until all of the consumers issues have been addressed. I understand that gm is not willing to hold theirselfs liable for these issues ,but people spend pretty pennies out of pocket to purchase vehicles from these manufacturers to spend more money to pay for repairs after just a short while of owning these . I have researched issues I am having with my vehicle , and I am having all the above listed issues , and do not wish to spend large amounts of money to pay for these cost considering I am still paying for this vehicle . I just spoke with a representive about these complaints ,and have set up an appoinment to pay a dealership for diagnostics , but am hoping that I can get closure on these issues without paying big expenses. I hope everyone else will follow suit and keep inputting your complaints until they are resolved. My vehicle issues are the fan clutch needs replaced, my gas tank has been replaced already,just replaced my serpintine belt this morning, my exterior lights (brake/turn signal) have been replaced 3 times over two months, and engine light keeps coming on , something doesnt seem right underneath this vehicle either. I just feel like I am paying for a peice of junk on top of paying to keep the vehicle running. Oh yea this vehicle has had to have thousands of dollars of body work done as well thanks to mother nature. I just hope they will be responsible enough to take on this responsibilty of theirs ,not ours.

At 45,000 miles I have had to have the tierods replaced and there is still something wrong with the passenger side wheel assembly, but they can't seem to figure out what the squeak is. It could be a bearing I have been told, but they don't know without tearing it all down. 2nd is the power window on the drivers side is getting slower to come up and I can smell wires burning at times (although I am not sure if the 2 are related) I have also had to replace the "idler pulley" at 42,000 miles. . . . . This seems ridiculous as it keeps turning out to be one thing after another?????.

Sharp turn steering locks up. Passenger seat belt gets tighter and tighter doesn't release pressure. 4 wheel drive not working . Tapping sound in engine. The only thing the dealer has done is replace power steering pump and within 5 miles it was not working again.
