The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that she was experiencing an issue with the tie rod on the driver's side of the vehicle. The tire on the driver's side would shake uncontrollably if she accelerated more than 35 mph. The shaking would occur at 25 mph, but could be leveled out at approximately 30 mph. The manufacturer advised her to take the vehicle to the dealer and pay $100 for a diagnostic. The contact felt that the gesture was unreasonable. She received no assistance from the dealer because the vehicle was outside of the warranty. The VIN was unknown. The current mileage was approximately 46,000 and failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

I have had many many problems with my 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer most recently the transmission is bad, I had started complaining to the dealer about the transmission slipping at around 8,000 miles, the truck now has 17,000 miles on it. The dealer refuses to repair it under my warranty. The dealer will not cover the repair. The dealer told me I had to pay out of pocket. I was informed of this on 5/4/2007. I have had many many repairs done on this vehicle, something is not right. The dealer also refuses to fix the brakes, the dealer claimed to have repaired them 3,000 miles ago and told me that it is not possible for the brakes to be bad again, the dealer said I need rotors, pads, and they did replace a lt ft caliper that they found to be bad. The dealer will not replace the pads and rotors. The dealer has told me to pick my vehicle up. The vehicle is currently not in safe condition to operate on public highway, I informed the dealer that I will leave the truck there while I contact NHTSA and whoever else I find that will help me. If the dealer insist that I remove my vehicle, I will have it towed, I will not operate the vehicle on public highways, as it is not safe. I will now list some of the items most recently replaced. Also, ABS, check engine, and service 4WD lite was on and off since January 2007. The gas gauge malfunctioned. The instrument panel was replaced twice, also replaced the radio, front heater, rear heater, dvd player, both upper ball joints, brakes, ft wheel bearing, lt ft door control, ft calipers, some kind of bearing in the steering wheel. The front suspension still makes noise, rattles (the dealer cannot find the problem) there is more but this is what I remember right now without looking it up. The dealer also told me that it is not possible for so many things to be wrong and has accused me of changing parts over from another Trailblazer.

We own a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer and since it had about 500 miles we started running into problems. The check engine light came on. Also the brakes make a whistling noise and Chevy insists that it is not the service bulletin they have posted up regarding the front axle making a whistling noise. Also, the vehicle has problems with the way it steers on turns. This car has to be defective if this many problems occurred since 500 miles. It now has 1400 miles.
