problem #7

Dec 082012

Trailblazer LS 4WD V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 113,700 miles

I bought this vehicle used in December 2012 and the Stabili-Trak light started randomly coming on two days after buying the vehicle and a year later it is still randomly coming on. I have to turn off the engine and restart the vehicle to make the light go off. I can’t help but wonder if doing that is just masking the problem.

Trailblazer LT 4.2L 6 cyl

TRULY AGGRAVATING SINCE THE TRACTION CONTROL STAYS ON THE CAR BARELY WILL TAKE OFF. IT THINKS IT HAS NO TRACTION STARTING OF SO IT HESITATES TRACTION LIGHTS BLINKING THEN TAKES OFF. DANGEROUS PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAY COULD CAUSE A WRECK IF YOU TRY TO CROSS A HIGHWAY OR PULL OUT ONTO INTERSTATE!
