Trailblazer

  • 59,000 miles
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. He noticed that the power steering fluid was leaking, it caused the steering wheel to make a loud noise and lock. While driving 20 mph, the steering wheel locked as he was making a turn. He took the vehicle to the dealer and the diagnosis located the failure to be the rack and pinion and needed to be replaced. The estimated cost for repair was $800. He is not sure if the vehicle will be repaired. The failure mileage was 59,000 and the current mileage was 61000.

Trailblazer

  • 38,200 miles
I have been having a recurring issue with the steering on my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer. I have had 3 different occasions when the vehicle will only make left turns. Today specifically the vehicle was at an intersection and I was attempting to make a right turn when the vehicle responded by only wanting to turn to the left which was a set-up for a head on collision. The vehicle would turn to the left but would not go past the centered position. In order for the steering to correct itself, the vehicle would have to be turned off and considerable force placed on the steering wheel to turn the vehicle to the left, then the pressure force would free itself and the vehicle would work correctly. GM has to know of this issue, this is a deadly "rack and pinion" in this. I almost killed a family today with a head on collision scenario. Please help, I have had this vehicle to the dealership before, only to be told, we can't duplicate this, something is not right!

Trailblazer

  • 33,000 miles
While operating my 2007, Chevrolet Trailblazer, I notice that the vehicle was leaning on the right side, I stopped the vehicle and after checking the tires I found no flats, and no air missing, as I drove away I began to feel a wobble in the front tires, which led me to meyer Chevrolet, where he found that the shock absorbers where still good several weeks later the leaning and the wobble continued and I took it to my mechanic where he found that all the shocks where leaking and had worn out at 33000, miles, before replacing the shocks I called General Motors to see if they can set up an appointment with another dealer which they stated that I should return it to the dealer I purchased it from. I then returned the vehicle again to meyer Chevrolet where again I was told that they where good and not bad, I continued to drive the vehicle and the tires where so bad that I decided to take it to my mechanic for an inspection of the front end which he found that the four shocks where bad the tires, and the alignment where bad, I then called Chevrolet to ask for there assistance in the costly repairs and they stated that because I had my repairs done elsewhere they could not help, so 1400 dollars later my car is running good again lets see how long before something else goes wrong. Last year while driving to Virginia beach, I stopped to refuel and when I got in the car again the gauge had stopped working, the little yellow light came on and would not shut off giving me false gas readings that the tank was empty, when I arrived in Virginia beach I called the dealers for an appointment and no one would repair it they said take it back to New York city for repairs. I then placed a call to on-star and they said unless you get stuck you will have no choice but to take it back to New York for repairs, we will send you a tow truck at that point and left me with a car that I didn't know whether there was gas inside or not. GM get it together.
