“When turn the car off and remove the key from the ignition, there are two speakers that continue to make static noise, whether I have opened the door or not. If I bump or hit the center console it will make the speakers louder or turn off. The check engine light is on for multiple codes, and I have worn out shocks. The shocks should make me feel as if I am gliding, bur I feel and jerk to every bump.”
NHTSA complaint #11317442, filed 2020-03, 185,000 miles“Two weeks ago we put new tires on my Trailblazer at 28,700 mi. We were leaving for a trip and took it to have the front end aligned to be sure the new tires wore properly. We did not go to our dealer as there was no time before the trip. Upon checking the car, they discovered both my front struts were leaking badly and they no longer gave a firm ride. We had no choice but to have them replace both struts at only 28,700 mi. The repair shop was quite surprised that both struts were bad. …”
