Trailblazer 4x4 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles

After having so many problems with this vehicle shaking really bad before stalling i decided to buy another vehicle in may. I decided to sell the vehicle and told the buyer of my situation. We went to the dealer's service department again for a check up so that the buyer knew that it was checked and at that time my warranty had expired 62 miles before. The dealer told me i had to pay their check up fee of $162 or use my extended warranty which it was on because i bought extended warranty when i purchased the vehicle. I had to call the extended warranty and by the time i too it in with an appointment the buyer bought another vehicle. By the way.... i had to pay the $50 deductible for the check up and guess what..... nothing was found!

I will never buy Chevy again,

I took my car in a week before because it was stalling and nothing was found at that time. The car was still under warranty at the time. Nothing was found again so, nothing was fixed.

What would cause a car to just have the engine shut off while driving? It did this three times to me yesterday. The first time I was stopped, or at least going slow. The next two times it did this was on the freeway.... I was driving at least 50mph. Then the engine stalls. Fortunately if you put it in neutral and turn the ignition it starts right back up. But once again... I drive with two small children in the car. I think its time to get rid of this thing! Its only 4 years old and has this happen... the transmission bearing and the water pump.
