Faulty ignition switch needed replacement: no blower on defrost, air, heat. Brake lights and abs lights came on. Only 32,262 miles. $240. 34 to replace. Will I be reimbursed since this is a recall?.

Vehicle stalls and shuts down everyday. Sometimes just stalls then accelerates, sometimes shuts off and I can switch to neutral and restart while coasting. Other times I get shutdown warning light and engine will not restart. I have to coast to the shoulder and wait. Engine will then struggle to restart and engine shakes violently. I wait a few minutes and it will start and run fine, sometime with check engine light on, sometimes not. Rpm gauge works sometimes, sometimes not. At time there has been no response when turning key to start. On going issue!! crankshaft position sensor has been replaced 3 times, and issue still persist. Major safety issue!!.

While driving down the road, my car shut off and I almost drove off the road because all of the lights shut off and I lost control of my power steering and brakes.

My key will not come out of the ignition causing me to leave the keys in there.

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.

We were driving at about 55 (we dont know exact speed as our control panel is not working) and the steering went out. It was hard pulling to the right and a few times we could not control it and went off the road. We had another incident like that when we were driving in the snow. When we purchased the car we had a fuel issue that covered under a recall. . . . Now our whole panel is out. We dont know the speed we are going, the oil light and engine light are always on. We take care of our car so we know its not low on anything.

All of the lines on my vehicle (fuel, brake, power steering) have really bad rust corrosion. These will have to be replaced before there is a serious failure. The truck is only a 2007 and the lines look like it's a 1987.

As I was driving my 2008 Trailblazer the steering wheel completely froze on me and I could not turn the vehicle in any direction. I ended up driving it into someones yard before I could get it stopped. After having it taken to a garage they told me my power steering lines etc were blown. They have since fixed this issue, very costly to me though, and then they informed me that while checking the vehicle out they found my transmission lines are very corroded. So that is the next issue to be fixed with this vehicle.

Driving at a low speed through a residential area the engine would serge between 2k rpm and 4k rpm. If surging is allowed to persist then it is followed by the vehicle's power steering shut off ultimately ending in the engine shutting off. After vehicle is restarted the cycle starts again after a short period of driving.

First incident: (23 August 2013) driving to stop at stop sign at approximately 15mph , vehicle turned off without any warning lights. Second incident: (26 August 2013) driving on highway going close to 65 mph, once again vehicle turned off without any warning lights. Had to turn hazards off and coast to safe zone while cars were passing me going 65-80mph. Third incident: (28 August 2013) driving close to 50 mph, once again vehicle shut off without any warning lights. Once again had to coast to the median and hope not to get in a car wreck. All 3 of these incidents happened with my 2 year old daughter in the vehicle. I have also done research through various forums and websites. It happens without any warning at all and from what I have read there is only a temporary fix by changing the ignition switch but months later it comes back. The only thing that you can do (from my knowledge) is let it sit for an hour or 2 and then it starts up fine, but when your driving at 70 mph the last thing you want is for your vehicle to completely shut off on the highway. There are thousands of people in the exact same situation as me hoping the next time they get into their vehicle they wont be in an accident. Thank you for your consideration.

The engine light constantly comes on even after I had a tune up. I had diagnostics done and there is some type of fuel misfire. Two winters straight I have had issues with the power steering lines bursting and replaced 3 times. The speedometer malfunctions, most of the time it just stays at zero. If gm uses a lot of the same parts to make multiple models why has the 2005 Trailblazer not been recalled? I was told the gm envoy has the same engine and other inner workings as my Trailblazer so why wouldn't their recalls apply to my vehicle especially if I may be having the same issues.

When I was driving downhill on curvy road, I applied the brakes during a turn and the power steering had activated my anti-lock brakes. It kept happening on every turn and when I took my car to a shop they had to replace a steering angle sensor.

It was drizzling that morning. I was driving in the far right lane. When all of a sudden my steering wheel was taking over my driving. My truck went left into another lane on its on. I saw another vehicle coming up in that left lane. All I could do was ask my truck what was wrong. And I started talking to the lord. Please don't let me hit this truck. Please help me. Next thing I was pulled back to the right hand lane and then off the road I went. I went through the woods over stomps and bumps. And then crashed into a huge tree. I fainted. I hheard someone yelling. I opened my eyes to life. The police came out. And the ambulance. Thank god I'm not to cool for a safe belt. Cause my airbags didn't deploy. I was told they may deploy at anytime so I needed to get out of truck. My seatbelt left its print on my neck and chest. The truck was crushed in. Wheels on passenger said were bent under truck. A total lost . .

When the steering is turned too far the car automatically and very suddenly shuts off, no matter where we are. Seatbelts in the last row of the vehicle dont lock so, our car seats just slide due to never ending seat belt. Engine and oil light come on when car is started and will stay on for days as result of gas cap being not screwed on properly. Delayed turning reaction with steering wheel, horn got stuck and would not stop sounding so it had to be disabled.

My gas gauge has stayed on empty for a month or so with the gas light on. I have not had the money to fix it and I put gas in it the night before the incident happened. I was driving home from a family members house a few blocks away from my house and my 2005 Trailblazer died and everything locked up on me. The brakes would not work what so ever. And I just had brand new brakes put on a couple months ago and my steering wheel locked up. My vehicle would not stop. It kept going. I am so happy that I didn't have my three small children with me. It took me three turns onto three different streets before it finally stopped. It was very hard to turn. And my back wheels were making a horrible noise and smelled really bad when I got out. I always keep a gas can in the back in case I ever run out of gas due to the gauge not working. And mind you I have only had this vehicle a year. Gm should have to pay to get this fixed. This is very dangerous. Thankfully someone was watching over me and there was no other cars headed toward me. It was on a main roads that has a 45 mile an hour speed limit. I will never buy a chevy again.

Due to a faulty gas gauge the car engine stopped on a highway three miiles away from fuel with children in the vehicle.

Power steering lines corroded and leaking at/from rubber mount on l wheel well.

On, 6/17/12, my daughter and I were driving east bound I-96 and involved in a non-fatal injury accident btwn beech daly & inkster. The accident started in the far right lane and ended with SUV facing opposite direction of traffic, left lane of hwy. I hit a pothole, approximate diameter of a yard stick, filled with water and it seems like I lost control of the steering; almost as if the vehicle had instantly shut down. The vehicle easily completed at least a 360â° spin out. We were able to walk away with minimal injuries due to clipping another SUV tail end instantly before going straight into the cement highway divider! I didn't realize how much muscle strengthening would be involved in mine and my daughters' healing process. I have been in to see an internist, neurological surgeon, physical therapist, occupational therapist, massage therapist, not to mention all of the cat scans, mris, etc. Performed at multiple hospital locations. My vehicle insurance carrier was notified of my health insurance restrictions prior to signing with them and prior to the mvi. The redford, mi police report indicates no injuries because neither myself nor my daughter were taken away by ambulance since the injuries were not life threatening and we were both in formal attire, both bridal party members. The vehicle was towed and totaled by insurance, loan paid in full; however, apparently concerns have arose to, perhaps, to the extent of our injuries so no medical procedures have not been paid to any of the service providers, as of today's date (11/15/14). My daughter and I were picked up by another guest attendee so we weren't holding up progress, being in the wedding party and carrying all decor for afterward festivities. None of the vehicle air bags deployed and we were going 60-65mph (front, side, rear, no where)! thank you, gm, mdot and current employees for staying true to USA & mi!.

I have had multiple issues with my 2002 chevy Trailblazer where the 4x4 selector switch will not work, or while driving at highway speeds the vehicle will be put into four wheel drive while the selector switch is still turned on two wheel drive. The selector switch at times has not worked when I wanted to make the vehicle go into four wheel drive. I have found out the vehicle is in four wheel drive by having a hard time turning the front wheels and seeing the front tires spin on loose gravel even though I never switched the vehicle into four wheel drive and the selector switch states it's still in two wheel drive but the yellow light is lit up that it's in four wheel drive. I have complained multiple times to gm and have had the selector switch replaced 3 times but it still continues to happen. Everytime that gm looks at it they say that it is working just fine. I have seen and heard that many other people are having the same problems with this. I feel there should be a safety recall put out for this drive selector switch.

Was making a lane change on perfect road conditions when the back end of the Trailblazer started shaking uncontrollably. Veered into the median and was about to drive into on coming traffic. Cranked hard on the steering wheel to the right to avoid traffic and rolled the vehicle 4 times.

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.

The fuel gauage says full for a couple weeks then goes to empty with the light coming on even if I put a gallon of gas in it . It goes right back to full and stays there the steering also feels like any day something is going to happen to it and its making a loud screching sound thought it might be power steering the fluid is full.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated while driving 52 mph uphill the steering wheel locked and he lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle drove off of the road, rolled over, and none of the air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The driver sustained back, neck and shoulder injuries. The vehicle was declared destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle identification number was not available. The failure and current mileage was 65,000.

I was starting to go up a hill at a speed of 56 mph and I swearved to miss a couple of skunks when the steering locked on the truck and I went into the ditch to the left and then rolled the truck three times. When the vechile was purchased in Nov 2010 I noticed the srs light was on and the dash light and his response was to bring it back for service after I made a pament, during the accident the airbags did not deploy and the towing company who came to get the truck they had to cut the battery out because they couldn't get the steering to unlock.

Myself and my daughter was visiting my parents in virginia and I turned the steering wheel to the right to go around a curve and the steering wheel didn't turn. I looked ay my daughter and said "OH _ _ _ _" and she ask me what 's wrong? I said the steering didn't turn and it wasn't but seconds later, we slammed into the side of the mountain on the driver side and we rolled two or three times and ended up on the roof. I immediately went unconscious because of the impact. I had a big gash on my head and was bleeding profusely and I was having trouble breathing because both of my lungs were punctured. All the windows burst out so my daughter was able to crawl out the passenger window to ask someone for help but my seat belt would not unbuckle so there was an issue getting me out. I was very lucky that someone that stopped had a pocket knife and cut the seatbelt to get me out. I had a bad concussion and I kept going in and out . I had three broken ribs, three pelvic fractures, a bad contusion on my elbow and I still have a swollen knot about two and a half inches on my left leg. I also have issues with my back and I am in constant pain and on impact, my seat belt jerked and caught my breast and I now have five cyst with the largest one being one inch and they are very painful. I have to watch it very closely because of a cancer risk called inflammation cancer. I was hospitalized for three days and I have to continue receiving medical care because of these injuries. My daughter is young and now she has back problems and ptsd and she also continues to receive medical care . This has really impacted and changed my life and my daughters life and I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to investigate these issues. We are going to have life long injuries and issues because of this accident. Thank you very much.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The accelerator pedal had to be depressed several times before the vehicle reacted. In addition, the stability traction control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the steering angle sensor had failed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000.

While driving at freeway speeds,front wheels went into a speed wobble,I lightly applied the brakes and it became worse. I took the Trailblazer to the michelin tire dealer and he found nothing wrong with the balance or run-out on the tires,so I then took the car to the dealership, and they could not find any problem.

2007 trail blazer. When cruising at highway speeds the front end starts to shake violently and will coninue until the vehicle is brought to a stop. Then it will not do it again for as many as several hundred miles.

Usually when you are driving at highway speeds 55mph - 60 mph after approximately 15 minutes the steering wheel and whole front end start shaking really bad. It will last until you stop and then it will not do it again for 3 or 4 days and then it will do it again. If you try to brake during this occurrences the whole vehicle shakes even worse. Brought back to dealer (2) twice they could not verify problem.

Dragging feeling when turning steering wheel. Sounded like metal scrapping against metal.
