2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Suspension Problems

“I have had my trail blazer for 1 yr and 1 month. In that time I have had to replace front and back pads and rotors, ball joints, catalytic (sp) converter, and now they just told me I have to replace the head gasket on the manifold. What the hell is going on with this vehicle. I no longer feel safe driving it. The other day the radio just stopped playing and then the service 4 wheel drive light came on.”

“Driving I-85 north bound on the morning on 6/15/2015 headed to work when the rear passenger tire blew out causing my 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer to cross over into another lane then back into the lane I was in, spin uncontrollable, all of a sudden the steering wheel started spinning and then the vehicle just shut down, steering wheel locks, the car comes to a stop and slams into a guard rail where I am facing south bound traffic, none of my air bags deploy, I have a neck and back injury that to this day I am still being treated for and my passenger who was a coworker riding to work with me…”

I asked the auto dealership if they themselves have seen a trend in replacing these parts they gave me a GM# to call - which I didn't. I figured I would start here first. …”

The SUV seemed as if it were darting across the roads and left us drivers feeling as if we were always adjusting the SUV to keep it in the lane. Turned out that all four sway bar links where bad which leads my family to wonder why would all four sway bar links two in the front & two in the rear go bad at the same time and in less then a year of having the SUV inspected by the same dealer whom found the sway bar links front & rear to be bad. …”
