2 Radiator problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 12/05/2011

When I first purchased the vehicle a couple days later I noticed the steering columns ability to turn was very hard and making loud noises. I fought continuously with the dealership to fix the issue and finally after several attempts they agreed to fix it. Then 2 months later were driving my son to the airport and the car stopped and began to smoke, come to find out the radiator had a hole in it and there was some type of temporary stop leak stuff put in it to allow a consumer to drive for a short amount of time before the problem would arise again. So now my family and I are out of transportation and im still paying a car note on this vehicle, I feel totally taken advantage of and wonder how any dealer can go to sleep at night knowing they've been deceptive in the saling of a vehicle to a family. The truck is my children and I only way of getting around and its hard enough on me as a single mother, this is just one more problem I didnt anticipate, that was why I use grant money that I received from school to purchase (what I though) was going to be reliable transportation. This situation has really been a burden and hardship for us, especially trying to figure out how were going to get from one place to another. . Im so frustrated and saddened by the dealerships neglect, non concern, and not properly fixing vehicles before marketing them. I would like to know what I can do about this matter because I brought the car without a warranty and it was used. Please help!!!!!!.

3 Radiator problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 09/24/2006

All of a sudden the transmission started to shift funny after a long road trip. It did this once on the highway. We got off the highway and pulled into our town and the car was having problems shifting. We barely made it to our house and the transmission was leaking. We went to drive it to the dealership and it over heated less than a mile from the house. We were told that the radiator deteriorated and sent anti-freeze into the transmission which destroyed the transmission.
