Suspension Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

The rear shocks on the 2021 Trailblazer are faulty and are blowing out causing the rear tires to bounce and eat away at the tread exposing cords becoming a safety hazard. The rear shocks blowing out is happening on several 2021 Trailblazers causing there to be a national back order leaving these vehicles and drivers to be at risk of serious accidents and injuries.

Brakes failed for no apparent reason around 8:00 am that morning. My friend and I was driving to my home in his 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer after many stops that morning. We was on the interstate doing 65 mph. I noticed the traffic ahead approaching and I said "cars" indicating to my friend to slow down. He said "I have no brakes!" we narrowly missed the first cars and while readjusting we came into contact with the driver side of three vehicles rolling us on our side! I broke both my arms escaping thankfully with my life. We had no idea what suddenly and unexpectedly lost brakes. Weeks afterwards I started reading about the stabilitrac and steering sensor on the 1 of many Chevrolet vehicle defect issues. Around that year and I believe was the problem. I have been out of work and tried to explain this to people with no reply. I read an article about Chevrolet told about the issue and refused a recall. Senator blumenthal requested an investigation but I haven't seen anything after a judge requested a Chevrolet ceo deposed. If this vehicle has these dangerous problems please know that it almost killed my friend and I. Https://gmauthority.

Constant replacemenf of front axle all causing rubbing, mis alignment and front end sitting inward. These replacements happen more than 3 times a year the last 3 years of ownership.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

Frame failed driver's side rear. Causing unsafe drive condition. Forward to reverse grinding caused by separation of frame.

When turn the car off and remove the key from the ignition, there are two speakers that continue to make static noise, whether I have opened the door or not. If I bump or hit the center console it will make the speakers louder or turn off. The check engine light is on for multiple codes, and I have worn out shocks. The shocks should make me feel as if I am gliding, bur I feel and jerk to every bump.

Driving I-85 north bound on the morning on 6/15/2015 headed to work when the rear passenger tire blew out causing my 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer to cross over into another lane then back into the lane I was in, spin uncontrollable, all of a sudden the steering wheel started spinning and then the vehicle just shut down, steering wheel locks, the car comes to a stop and slams into a guard rail where I am facing south bound traffic, none of my air bags deploy, I have a neck and back injury that to this day I am still being treated for and my passenger who was a coworker riding to work with me that morning also had a back injury. My vehicle was deemed a total loss by insurance company could not be repaired, lost time from work, still have medical bills, occurring, although I have full coverage insurance but because it was a one vehicle accident there is nothing that can be done about loss wages. Just had these tires put on my truck about 6 months ago, heard about people passing these bad tires on as new tires , don't know if this is the case or not. Don't know why air bags did not deploy, don't know why steering wheel spin then locked up, thank god it was not worse! state trooper said it could have been worse from the way I landed.

My gas gauge reads empty all the time even after a fill up. It never moves. Also I have replaced shocks and struts all the way around the vehical but every time you hit a bump in the road it shakes you from side to side really hard.

Electrical problems in the instrument panel (dashboard). All gauges intermittently quits working, on startup, sitting running or in motion. Tachometer never reads correctly. Can occasionally get gauges to reset by clicking ignition back and forth between run and start positions. I know of 5 other vehicle's that are having similar problems.

I was driving on highland Ave. In south portland maine , when, suddenly, the car seemed to lurch and try to go in different directions. When I examined the steering I found that the front wheels were indeed pointed outward. I called aaa and had them tow it to black point auto, where it still sits waiting for repairs.

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.

I was driving home from work and started hearing the trucks undercarriage start to rattle and grind on the bumps of the road. I had a sudden loss of power on engine and it wouldnt respond to my pressing on the gas. I believed that I had gas in the truck because the gauge read half full and apparently I was out of gas. So I proceeded to pull into a gas station and as soon as we filled up, the truck would not start! I saw that my check engine light was on and had to ask for a jumpstart to get it started again. At another time and date again the truck went dead, I asked for a jumpstart and the vehicle would not respond. I now had to buy a new battery because the car damaged the original battery and now with the new battery installed my car starts but will not stay on without me pressing on the gas while in park gear. I believe something may be defective with the electrical gauges, fuel delivery system, and suspension.

Traction control and repair lights keep coming on.

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?????.

After changing the vehicle's battery, the fuel system, air system and 4x4 system have all failed. GMC is aware of my issue and hundreds of others. They refuse to fix this known issue, this vehicle is very dangerous to drive.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving, the air pump failed to inflate the air bag suspension. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was towed to auffenberg Chevrolet (144 w shawnee st, muskogee, ok 74401). The dealer stated that there was no recall; therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repair cost. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the air bags needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000.

Two tires failed within a week with similar circumstances. The first tire failure was less dramatic than the second due to the fact that it occurred at night when temperatures were cooler and vehicle stops were more frequent. The second failure was catastrophic. The sidewalls completely separated from the tread on a very busy highway. After the first tire failure I had the tires aligned, balanced and pressure checked by a gm technician. The service manager at the gm dealer clearly told me that the two remaining tires were in good shape and had several thousand miles on them before I had to worry about changing them. Four days later the tire failed completely. After the incident I called back to the gm dealer to verify their process for tire alignment. They informed me that the tires were indeed verified to be at 35psi, the factory recommended level. I retained the failed tire for future use. The tires were continental conti-trac p245/65/r17 with a dot number of hw8t bl5 0305. A similar report has been filed with the NHTSA.

When driving the vehicle over bumps, the consumer heard a knocking noise. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership for an inspection, the mechanic replaced,the struts, however, the problem still continued. Please provide any further details.

The rear end slid from the rear, which caused the vehicle to sway from left to right.
