Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

Vehicle engine stalls while driving. The car shuts off without warning. This is dangerous and not safe! I shut off while driving on the highway and when I was able to get it off the highway, it stopped in the city. Replaced the electrical body per the diagnosis and still experiencing this issue.

Vehicle shuts off when sitting idle or when changing between the gas and brakes. I was hit in the rear this morning while sitting in traffic. Thankfully neither vehicle was damaged. I googled this issue a d there are thousands of issues.

I recently purchased this vehicle 3 weeks ago from a dealer in st augustine, florida. The engine will just shut off when I am driving, I have two young children and am concerned that this could cause an accident when driving. I have not been able to get any help from the dealer where I purchased the vehicle even to do a diagnostic on the vehicle. Has there been any problems/ recalls with the ignition switch on this make and model, even when at idle it will shut off, without touching anything.

My 05 Trailblazer keeps shutting off while driving down a city street. In a 2-mile stretch it shut off 5 times with complete loss of steering control almost causing a serious accident. The vehicle trembled and then turned off. It has shut off on me while driving on three other occasions on previous years but it only occurred once and then stopped on those occasions.

Pulled up to a red light and stopped. Shortly after, coming to a complete stop, the engine just shut down. No warning lights had come on prior to the engine shutting down. Just lost all power instantly. I turned the key, as you would to start the vehicle, and it started right up. Very glad it did not happen while I was on the expressway or while moving. I can't help but wonder if it is an ignition problem, as that which plagues other gm products. Also, I have the radio on while driving and on multiple occasions, after turning off the car and opening the door to get out, the radio refuses to stop playing (it is supposed to, and it used to, cease operating when you open the driver's door). I am forced to open the back vehicle door to get it to stop. I wonder if this is a related issue to the ignition, as the ignition key may not actually be shutting of the accessories.

My son in law was driving the car with my permission and while making a left turn the vehicle stalled; there was no steering or brakes. The steering wheel locked up during the turn and caused the vehicle to continue turning on it's own and I proceeded to hit a pole. The radio and lights were still on during this time, however, the engine shut off.

While taking my kids to school this morning, the engine shutoff shut off with no indication at all. We were starting to slow down to turn the corner to head to the school when this incident occurred. We have had several components (battery, ignition switch, alternator, starter relay) changed out the fixed the engine light, but the engine continues to stall. I have seen over 500 other people with this same issue and have not seen anyone who has had it fixed yet.

This is the second time this has happened - what happens is I will be driving ( speed once at 35 once at 60 ) and my Trailblazer just shuts down. Instantly. You have no power to to get over to the side of the road. P0601 code - this is what shows on my mechanics system. However, when you research that code online. Some folks have spent thousands trying to stop this issue and no resolve. This is highly dangerous - you go from 60 to nothing. My tb has less than 50k on it.

Many times while driving this SUV, the engine has just shut off. It will start right back up. However it is scary and we have tried to figure this out for quite some time now. The worst time was when I was getting on a busy interstate and the car cut off. I don't know if the vehicle was doing this prior to our purchase. I can not get any information from carmax in regard to this. It is well maintained and due to this, I rarely take it out on the road anymore.

While driving from work I stopped at a red light and the Trailblazers rpm dropped down and the truck shut off in traffic. But all the lights were on. I had to restart the truck and it crank up. Three weeks later I was pulling up to a gas station and pressed on the brakes to stop and the truck cut off (same experience). Yesterday I was driving in 5 o'clock traffic and pressed on the brakes and it shut off again.

While traveling on the highway and without prior warning or at a stop sign, the vehicle shut down. The vehicle restarted and act as if it had no power, the engine blew and was replaced. The second engine experienced slight miss when traveling 65-70 mph. The dealer placed fuel injection cleaner in the vehicle and the problem still occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they couldn't duplicate the problem.

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?.
