Example complaints
Fuel system: “In 2010 my trailblazer would not idle or accelerate properly, the mechanic found the primary smog air pump not working. Cost to me $720.00. Next the instrument cluster gauges started jumping around and now the speedometer does not work at all. Estimated cost to me $480.00, I can't afford to fix it.. Thirdly the windshield wipers go on and off without warning. I went to a dealership and a private mechanic and neither could find the wiper problem. Cost to me $68.00 for diagnostic time and lots of danger ahead. …”
