Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “At approx. 50,000 miles I had total transmission failure in my 2000 Chevrolet Trailblazer. This vehicle was used under normal conditions. The result was a replacement of the transmission (GM rebuild) installed at a dealer for cost of approx. $1800.00 which was unacceptable that I had to pay anything in my opinion, even though the vehicle was out of warranty. I have spoken with other owners who experienced the same issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10128369, filed 2005-07, 50,000 miles

Brakes: “After new ABS right front sensor was installed ABS activates at slow stop. When applying light breaking pressure only activates just before stopping and may cause accident while still moving before complete stop.”

NHTSA complaint #11118108, filed 2018-08, 2 miles

Suspension: “While driving at a moderate speed (~40 MPH) the front end of the vehicle began to shake. I slowed down, and turned on to a side road. As I came to a stop the front, driver's side wheel collapsed inward. Fortunately, there were no injuries or further damage to the vehicle. There was no previous hint of a problem. Per the garage mechanic, the upper ball joint on the driver's side had separated , causing the wheel to collapse. The part was replaced, and the damaged part (which I viewed) was thrown away. The vehicle rides fine now, but I worry about the other ball joints.”

NHTSA complaint #10104036, filed 2004-12, 81,100 miles

Driver and a child sustained injuries, and they were transported to the local hospitals by private vehicle. Driver sustained injuries to the neck, upper/lower back/left shoulder separated, and a sprained left wrist and left elbow. Child sustained a sprained right wrist.”
