CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4 -WHEEL DRIVE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 101, NO. 110, NO. 114, NO. 225, NO. 209, & NO. 208. VECHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A LEFT -FRONT BRAKE PIPE WITH A CIRCUMFERENTIAL SCORE AT A RANDOM LOCATION ALONG THE LENGHT OF THE PIPE AS THE RESULT OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IF THE BRAKE PIPE PARTIALLY OR FULLY FRACTURED,BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD IMMEDIATELY INCREASE AND FRONT BRAKE PERFORMANCE WOULD BE REDUCED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKETS MAY FRACTURE. MISSING WELDS ON THE REAR FLOW PLAN THE CALIBRATION OF THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE COULD CAUSE INSUFFICIENT HIGH SPEED GEAR ENGAGEMENT. THIS FRACTURE COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM FROM THE FRAME SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A RANGE SHIFT COLLAR IN THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE THAT CONTAINS CRACKS.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THE SHIFTER HANDLE MOVED FREELY BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. MY VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK. LUCKILY, THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN MY GARAGE AT LUNCHTIME HEADED BACK TO WORK. WHEN I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET ABOUT WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE, I SAW THAT OTHER GM VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR A BROKEN SHIFTER CABLE. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM, HE SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A BROKEN SHIFTER CABLE AND THAT HE HAD TOWED OTHER TRAILBLAZERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE VEHICLES HAD BEEN PART OF A RECALL YEARS AGO. I HAD NOT FOUND A RECALL FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THAT OTHER GM VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THAT REASON IS WHY I AM FILING THIS REPORT. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AND WILL UPLOAD THE REPAIR INVOICE.

I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. I PRESSED THE BRAKE, PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. THEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE AS I NORMALLY WOULD, AND IT STARTED UP WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THIS WAS VERY DISCONCERTING AND SCARY. THIS HAPPENED IN A QUIET, RESIDENTIAL AREA, SO THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. I INTENDED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED, BUT I NEVER DID. THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE INCIDENT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO MY ATTENTION BECAUSE OF A RECENT BUT DIFFERENT MECHANICAL FAILURE WITH MY VEHICLE. DURING MY INTERNET RESEARCH OF THE OTHER MECHANICAL PROBLEM, I CAME ACROSS RECALL INFORMATION FOR OTHER GM VEHICLES THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT FIND RECALL INFORMATION FOR MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR, I AM FILING THIS REPORT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE IT WAS IN DRIVE. SINCE I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, I WILL PLACE AN APPROXIMATE DATE IN THIS REPORT. I WAS "HOUSE SHOPPING" AT THE TIME, SO THE APPROXIMATE DATE WILL BE CLOSE.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE SECOND OR THIRD INCIDENT WHERE THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION, BLAZER WAS IN PARK THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON SO DID THE RADIO ANYTHING THAT IS TYPICALLY ON DURING AUX, BUT THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF A LONG PROBLEM THAT LEAD TO ME TRADING OFF..THE KEY GETS STUCK YOU CAN NOT REMOVE IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO GO BAD, IT WOULD BEGIN TO HAPPEN OFTEN THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT ABOVE 3RD GEAR, ALSO SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE IN SEPT OF 2011 THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE BLAZER DIED 3 TIMES GAUGES ON DASH WOULD PERIODICLY STOP WORKING. MY SERVICE 4 WHEEL WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY THE KEY ISSUE WAS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM BUT IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE OTHER THINGS WENT WRONG. WHEN THE KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGINTION AS STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY IN THE BEGINNING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ACT OUT ONCE YOU TOOK IT OUT OF PARK IT WAS NOTICEABLE BUT AS THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE IT STARTED HAPPENING DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED ONCE THAT I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT THROUGH 1-2-3 BUT NEVER GOT OUT OF 3. I SHOULD STATE THAT WHEN THE KEY WAS STUCK I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT THROUGH THE FIRST AND SECOND THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE OTHERWISE THE CAR HAD NO POWER BECAUSE IT WOULD BE STUCK IN THE HIGHER GEAR.TRIED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AS THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DASH FOR THE 2003 MODEL AND THEY TOLD US IT WASNT A SAFETY PROBLEM I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW RANDOM LOSS OF POWER AND RANDOM CAR DYING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE LIST OF GM RECALLS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH ABOUT THE TRAILBLAZERS, AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES LIKE THE ONES THAT I HAD. ON ANOTHER NOTE TRANSMISSION RELATED MY NEIGHBORS JUST HAD TO GET RID OF THEIR TRAILBLAZER 2006 FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

LAST SUMMER, MY VEHICLE STARTED STUMBLING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT THE ISSUE BEING RESOLVED. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, TUNE-UP, MAP SENSOR, AIR INTAKE SENSOR, FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED, FAN CLUTCH REPLACED, STILL HAD THE STUMBLING PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I HEARD THE ENGINE REV UP VERY HIGH, BUT I WASN'T GOING ANY FASTER. I THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE RACED, BUT I WAS JUST COASTING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE MEDIAN, THANK GOD NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. I ALSO THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME. THE MECHANIC SAID, THAT ONE OF THE GEARS INSIDE, THE TRANNY WAS BROKEN, AND THE PUMP HAD SHATTERED. I WOULD HATE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN TO SOMEONE, AND THEY CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY, SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED.

THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER : I AM HAVING A WHINING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I TRY TO ENGAGE INTO 4WD THE SOUND WORSENS AND THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT AS WELL THE WHINING ALMOST RESEMBLES A LOW SIREN SOUND. I AM ALSO HAVING A MAJOR MALFUNCTION WITH MY SPEEDOMETER SINCE THE WEATHER HAS GOTTEN COLDER??? I COULD ONLY BE MOVING 10MPH AND IT WILL REGISTER TO 120 OR EVEN SURPASS IT AND THEN GET STUCK, THE ONLY WAY TO UNSTICK IT IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND KEEP RESTARTING IT UNTIL IT RESETS ITSELF BUT NOW IT IS STUCK AND WONT RESET, I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND I ALL I FOUND OUT WAS THERE WERE TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZERS AS I AM HAVING. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE LIFE OF THE CAR SOME PEOPLE HAVE THEM HAPPEN AROUND 30,000 MILES OR SOME 50 THOUSAND AND MYSELF THE SPEEDOMETER IS HAPPENING AROUND 72,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO START TO ACT UP ONCE THE WEATHER WAS COLDER. ITS A SHAME THEY WILL FIX THE LARGER SUV'S DUE TO A LAWSUIT BUT SINCE THIS IS A SMALLER SUV IT'S NOT COVERED. WE HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS IN THE TRUCK FOR THE FRONT END NOISE TO ONLY FIND THE NOISE DID NOT DISAPPEAR AFTER READING MANY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS IT SEEMS THIS COULD BE THE TRANSFER CASE ON THE TRUCK. I AM NOT GOING TO KEEP REPLACING PART AFTER PART TO ONLY FIND OUT ITS THE DRIVE TRAIN AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
