Check engine light come one code p0461 - fuel tank pressure sensor circuit high voltage. This problem seems to be a common problem with the chevy Trailblazers and should be a recallable issue. Furthermore, the suspension on this vehicle has been a financial drain from the sway bar links, front end links stabilizer shaft and ball joints.

Had banging noises under the car which at some point felt as if my suspension was bad since it was not stable riding. The SUV seemed as if it were darting across the roads and left us drivers feeling as if we were always adjusting the SUV to keep it in the lane. Turned out that all four sway bar links where bad which leads my family to wonder why would all four sway bar links two in the front & two in the rear go bad at the same time and in less then a year of having the SUV inspected by the same dealer whom found the sway bar links front & rear to be bad. Seems to me that these parts are not of quality and poorly made and make the auto very unstable when they fail and could cause an accident in doing so. We ended up replacing the two front sway bar links but, are holding off on the rear for right now. I feel these sway bar links should be looked into for a possible recall.

Sway bar links (also called stabilizer links) replaced several times on my 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer: I had all 4 replaced in may 2007 by a local repair business, then 10 months later the rear 2 were replaced by autodealership in March 2008, then yet again 8 months later I had the right rear one replaced by same autodealership (in all cases parts were only good for 12,000 miles and I had traveled over the limit). I asked the auto dealership if they themselves have seen a trend in replacing these parts they gave me a gm# to call - which I didn't. I figured I would start here first. (I knew there was some kind of problem in all three cases when I heard loud rattling noises coming from rear of the SUV - I additionally had all 3 repair places show me the old sway bar links to observe damage. ) I do have high mileage on my Trailblazer but replacing sway bar links 3 times on same vehicle seems excessive.

Complaint received via e-mail. My son was driving car at 45 mph, when all of a sudden the rear end came loose. This made him lose control of the vehicle and crash. The vehicle was totaled. My son had minor injuries. His initial statement to the deputy was, the vehicle felt like the rear end came loose. The deputy looked under my SUV, and found the sway bar with a clean break on it. He then proceeded to have someone else look at it also. They both stated there was no twisting or distortion of the sway bar. It appeared the sway bar just broke. . Rear sway bar was replaced.

The contact stated when turning a corner or driving over a bump heard a loud noise. It sounded as though metal was rubbing together. This happened when she drove the vehicle off of the lot. The vehicle has been to the dealership multiple times. They replaced the front suspension sway bar and front control arm six times, and had to be replaced every six months or 3,000 miles. The vehicle was still experiencing the same problems. Updated 12/27/2005.
