: the contact stated while turning at various speeds there was a loud popping noise from the front end.

I have had my Trailblazer for 6 months (since 9-29-03). I bought it used and have taken it in to get things that have gone wrong with it checked. I bought the 3/36,000 warranty and have not benefited from it. I have read that there was recall on the front lower control arm brackets, which may fracture. I took it in because I was hearing a noise when I turned. They told me what the problem was and I drove it for another month while the parts were being ordered and the ok from gm to cover this repair. I have taken it in to solve the problem of the tail lights to keep burning out and failing. I have received many warnings from legal authorities and my response is that I did not know and have just gotten it fixed. I also have a problem with the engine dying while driving, idling, or accelerating. Dealership says that they are "trying to reproduce the situation" but cannot. I know that it happenned, just fix it. I have tried to trade it in, but owe too much still and I am very unhappy with gm and their approved dealership.
