Wheel Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

I was driving on the highway going 65mph which is the legal speed limit. I got cut off by a driver and light tapped my brakes to slow the vehicle down. When I did so the vehicle then swerved to the left and started drifting sideways directly to a wall. I went head on with the wall. Then I bounced back across all lanes of traffic again still sideways and drifting hitting another wall. Which is where the vehicle ended at the stopping point of the accident. No airbags deployed in the accident. The driver behind me who witness the crash stated that the vehicle started to loose traction before I hit my brakes and me hitting my brakes caused the vehicle to them loose full control. I was in the process of buying this vehicle from gresham Ford in oregon. I was told the vehicle was 100% road safe and passed safety inspections. Which is false.

Shortly after purchase, one of the factory tires had a side bulge. The dealer indicated in their opinion, was from a pot hole. However when they checked the rim, it was not damaged. I had tire replaced. Then at 39k miles, all the the other tires were already getting worn out. I've never had tires wear about pre-40k miles in all my life. At local belle tire, they told me that the hankook tires that come with new cars are not the same quality as those you would buy at tire store. But I submitted a replacement claim to hankook, as the belle tire rep suggested, but they would not honor anything. Simply said need tire insurance. I notice when buying the car new, the dealers offer extra (cost) tire insurance. Must be because the are lousy, compared to buying at a local tire store. Now at 42k I'm replacing tires already. New cars should come with same quality tires as you buy at tire stores. And I will tell everyone about poor quality of hankook brand.

I have had multiple issues with the car since I've purchased it. The brakes continuously make noise, and the automatic emergency braking does not work. The tire pressure sensors don't work, they have the wrong tire pressure for each tire, and the tires constantly over inflate. Also, my front bumper is coming off. I've taken it to the dealership for all of these things, the dealership said the brakes seem fine, the front bumper clips seem to have warn down for some reason, and that they reset my tire pressure. There was no permanent solution. They put a band aid on my problem and I still have all of these issues.

On June 10, 2021 I was driving home at a speed of approx 65 miles an hour from the grocery store on interstate 255 when all my side airbags suddenly exploded. My 2021 chevy Trailblazer rs was 3 months old and had 3500 miles on the car. After exiting the vehicle, I found the rear passenger tire was flat. Upon changing the tire, we discovered that the wheel had split apart. There is no damage to the body or underneath the vehicle. There was no large potholes or debris anywhere in the area. Upon starting the investigation with gm regarding the incident, they reported that the air bags acted as they should and they would not take liability. When both myself and the service manager of the dealership questioned why the report had not one single mention of the tire/wheel which caused the deployment of the airbags in the entire investigative report, we were both told "the airbags acted as they should" and the decision was final. The service manager was in shock and has stated repeatedly that based on the facts gathered and condition of the tire/wheel, there was some sort of defect in the wheel which caused it to explode. There is absolutely no evidence to make him think that I hit anything or caused the incident. Gm will not discuss the case any further and told me to turn it over to my insurance. The fact that they did not investigate the cause (the exploding of a wheel for no apparent reason) makes me believe they are trying to cover up a potential issue that could impact the safety of other 2021 Trailblazer owners. The air bag replacements are on backorder and are predicted to take months. I am currently without a vehicle.

I go in my car and start it, and its fine going down the road, but once I cut the car off while I run into the store, and I come back out, start the car, and start going down the road, the traction control light comes on, and "servicestabilitytrak" comes across the little screen, and won't cut off at all until I turn the car back off.

I have a 2002 chevy Trailblazer with goodyear wrangler sr-a tires. These tires are the absolute worst tires I have ever owned in my 34 years of driving! in dry conditions they are tolerable but one can tell that they're not sticking well to the road. When it rained slightly it becomes near impossible to drive with these tires. The best way to describe it is as if you are trying to drive on a slick roadway almost like driving on oil or similiar to driving a race car on slick tires to drift with.

Tl- the contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer equipped with cooper tires, tire line: discoverer htplus110tbw, tire size: p275/45/r20, and the dot number: gfk0awf0awrp15. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the contact began to feel the vehicle shake and wobble. The contact pulled over and noticed that the rear right passenger tire tread had separated from the side wall. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the contact was told that this defect was abnormal and appeared to have been a defect. The tire was replaced. The contact called the place where the tires were purchased and was informed that the tires are not under warranty, the manufacture was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The vehicle failure mileage was 180,000 and the tire failure mileage was 20,000. Jo.

Recently bought a car that I believe they are illegally passing the inspections on. They proclaimed that fixed a major part to keep the tires on my car tie rods and cv axel. Just short time after it looked like the part was never replaced just tightened up and shortly after we had all kinds of issues with the brakes and anything that keeps the car driveing safely the brakes went out on me so I called to see what they did and why they never fixed it the berry next day they repo the car as if they are trying to hide and cover up the scams they have on people my kids are in that car daily it should be never passed the inspection we have had to pay for most of that. I believe all the cars in there lot need to be inspected by a federal agent or something I've found alot of the same complaints online about same issues and I even know other people who have bought from them all with the same issues they are fraud and you need to stop them before someone gets killed and dies from one of there faulty vehicles my issue happened and happens while driveing they also took both of the brake caliber pins that hold it in place to the point to where it came off completely I almost died guys they are bad people to buy from.

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.

After a long day of work, I returned to my parked vehicle to discover a totally flat front right tire, on closer examination it was noted that the tire had split on the outside seam. It was noted that the same condition of the tire splitting was visable on all three of the other tires on the vehicle. Flat tire was replaced with spare tire that had never been used. I returned the vehicle to the place that I had purchased the tires; the tech at the store examined the tires and declared that all four tires were manufactured from the same batch of tires manufactured by goodyear. And that all four were defected. Today I contacted goodyear and took my vehicle to their location. The man at goodyear stated that goodyear has never had a recall nor defective tires. That he would have to contact goodyear when they opened on the east coast. My complaint is with goodyear. And the validity of the goodyear tech stating that goodyear has never had a defective tire or recall on their tires.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph the vehicle suddenly shut completely off. The engine was restarted and the vehicle operated as normal. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no remedy was offered. The contact also stated while driving approximately 3o mph the rear passenger side wheel suddenly separated from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the an independent mechanic who indicated the lug nuts had come off the wheel causing the wheel to separate from the vehicle. The failure mileage was 80,000. Jft.

Frame around forward control arm mounts rusted nearly through. Bottoms of doors rusting from the inside. Wheels corroding around beads which has created a constant bead leak.

Our Trailblazer is in excellant condition with one exception. The tires leak air at the rims. We have had the tires removed from the rims tio have the rims resealed and that lasts for a brief period of time. We have alunimum rims. It is our understand that the rims have developed spurs due to use. Our Trailblazer has approximately 67000 miles. It is housed in a garage and used daily. My husband often has to fill the tires before we can leave home. During the winter months he has to fill them if we take a 2 1/2 hour trip or if it sits overmight in cold. This is very disapointing and remains frustrating. Thank you for your hekp in this matter.

I began to hear a loud howling noise, pulled off at the exit went to the repair shop in portland, mi where my wheel hub exploded in their hand on the passenger side. The fan clutch has completely stopped working witch caused the vehicle to overheat, and loose all power and my 4 wheel drive locked right up and stopped working. This was extremely dangerous at a rate of 70 mph because the vehicle slowed all the way down to 25 and had no power. I have had so many issues with this vehicle that I am now checking for recalls to have the vehicle serviced completely.

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 . .

It was bought in 2011, and ever since me and my wife are so sick in tired of buying and buying and buying these valve stems that are junk and it looks like 15 dollars to buy but its 60$ to put in. . This is garbage completely useless. . You fill the tire up and you can hear the air come out of it its like a every couple of months I've had to buy one now I think its time to say something this should be a recall to put regular old fashioned valve stems and take them tpms out of the cars/trucks some people cant afford these things every couple of months.

I was wondering how come there hasn't been a recall for the chevy Trailblazer ext for the throttle body. I see that they have recalls on other chevy cars with the same issue. This is a very dangerous issue as when this goes you have a reduce engine light that comes on. Which I didn't know what that meant until my car wasn't going any more than 20 mph. This is very dangerous to be on the road like I was and can't speed up or better yet trying to turn when you don't have the power to do so. Also, I see that there were also alot of issues with the speedometer. Which also I had that problem has to pay too much money to get this fixed. As how they would say their are manufacture parts which definitely hurts your pockets. If they know that they have these issues they really need to rectify because both of these issues cause some serious problems on the road. I know they are wear and tear on cars / trucks but if you have too many people having the same problems I think they should do something to resolve these issues.

There is a potential safety issue related to the spare tire winch of gm vehicles that have an underside mounted spare tire. I used my winch for the first time and found it difficult to lower the tire from the underside of the vehicle. Yes, I had to break out the owner's manual in order to figure out the secondary release! when the service station went to put it back up, they told me the winch was defective and needed to be replaced. I took it to the dealership and they agreed. I'm claiming that this is a common issue and a design flaw. Gm is saying it is "normal" wear & tear. I'm having a hard time swallowing this since it has only been used once. Now they are claiming "environmental" factors and rust, caused by salt in my state. They are pointing to some loophole in the manual to deny responsibility. Understand that I'm outside of the 3/36 warranty, but still believe the company should stand behind their product and take ownership for this flaw. If this area is prone to rust and has a history of failing (as indicated on my automotive forums), what is to keep the spare tire from flying off during operation of the vehicle. If this spare will not snug up to the underside of the body, it seems that hitting a bump could cause the tire to break free or one of the "rusted" components could cause it to drop expectantly. I have tried numerous times to get this resolved through my local dealer and gm's customer care division, but they refuse to take responsibility for a poor design.

Friday October 29th 2010, I was driving on interstate and my rim blew a hole. My tire is fine ,but I have a huge hole in my rim. I didn't run over anything and I was just getting on the interstate so I was doing around 50mph. In the right hand lane thank god or I would have taken cars out with me. I was just driving and I heard this very scary,loud sound and it jerked me off to the right and I pulled over and called for help. I took it to a dealer and they have in the 30years he worked there ever seen anything like it. The district manager ok'd for me to get a new rim. My concern is I'm afraid to drive with the rims. Are they safe? I have a family, will the others blow out like the one did? how can you guarantee me they are safe?? I want 4 different rims due to I don't feel safe.

Chevy vehicles have had multiple problems with their tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) on all vehicle types. The failure occurs at the wheel itself. Although this is a safety device, it has turned into a useless piece of equipment which no owner can afford to keep up with . What happens is that the pressure monitor system at the wheel is very sensitive and fails quickly. The amount of repair for one unit costs approximately $200, and that is for one wheel. Chevy should be doing a recall on all vehicles, that have the tpms system. This problem is not unique to one vehicle, if you do a google search on tpms and chevy or gm you'll find that this is a common problem. After I had the first one replaced the dealer told me that I shouldn't bother because it will only fail again. The dealer also said that he wishes that chevy would install a better system, because it will advise you that your tpms is not working properly, and after it fails, drivers will ignore the message, which is a larger safety issue. I don't know how the dot would allow gm to continue to use faulty parts which is a safety related item. The consumer shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes, and hopefully a person doesn't lose their life before action by the dot. I hope to see a recall issued soon.

While making a u-turn at low speed front passenger side tire came off the vehicle. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

When pressing the accelerator pedal, the anti lock brakes would lock. Dealer has been notified. Ph.
