2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer Other or unknown Problems

“The stabilitrac system on my 2006 chevy Trailblazer is giving warning lights on the dashboard because of a failure in a read wheel speed sensor and a steering wheel position sensor. These failures occurred just one year after the warranty expired, and I have seen numerous internet posts from other Trailblazer owners with the same problem. This is a safety issue because if the stabilitrac system fails, the vehicle will not safely navigate slick road conditions.”

“While driving, my headlights will intermittently turn off on their own. This does not happen frequently but has occurred several times per month for about 3 months duration. I had experienced this same event about 6 times before contacting GM directly. I contacted GM directly due to the fact that I consider this problem to be a safety issue. This vehicle is equipped with automatic headlights which turn on when darkness is detected.

They do this when sitting still, driving slow or even on the highway. I have cars thinking I am flashing them some times when I am not. If I roll my windows up they dim. …”

“My husband and I were traveling home from a weekend out of state. We were coming into chicago traveling towards wisconsin where we live. Just before the first toll booth on i80/i94 traveling at highway speeds, we hit a slight bump in the road and lost all power to the car. We managed to coast the car over from the far left lane of a 5 lane highway to the right shoulder of the road out of harms way. The car was towed to a firestone dealership on a sunday afternoon; we were told after a systems analysis was completed that the car would have to be towed to a GM dealership. …”
