| 2005 | STRUCTURE:BODY | CRASHED STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK END OF A VEHICLE DOING 60 WHILE I WAS DOING ATLEAST 80, OR 85, MAYBE MORE, I DON'T REMEMBER. THE FIRST THING I REMEMBER SEEING IS REALIZING I'M ALRIGHT DESPITE THE BLOOD IN THE COCKPIT AND ON MY FACE DESPITE SNEEZING WHICH WAS SPREADING BLOOD. IS THIS A VEHICLE DEFECT OR WHAT? MY MATH SAYS THAT CRASHING AT 85MPH INTO A VEHICLE DOING 60 IS LIKE CRASHING INTO A BRICK WALL AT 25MPH. I'VE HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND HE SAYS ACCORDING TO HIS OBD-II COMPUTER EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE (OR WAS ATLEAST) :) ANYWAYS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AGAIN WITH ANY MORE QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE.

| 2007 | STEERING | WHILE OPERATING MY 2007, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER , I NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEANING ON THE RIGHT SIDE ,I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER CHECKING THE TIRES I FOUND NO FLATS ,AND NO AIR MISSING, AS I DROVE AWAY I BEGAN TO FEEL A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT TIRES , WHICH LED ME TO MEYER CHEVROLET , WHERE HE FOUND THAT THE SHOCK ABSORBERS WHERE STILL GOOD SEVERAL WEEKS LATER THE LEANING AND THE WOBBLE CONTINUED AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND THAT ALL THE SHOCKS WHERE LEAKING AND HAD WORN OUT AT 33000, MILES , BEFORE REPLACING THE SHOCKS I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS TO SEE IF THEY CAN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALER WHICH THEY STATED THAT I SHOULD RETURN IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM . I THEN RETURNED THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO MEYER CHEVROLET WHERE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WHERE GOOD AND NOT BAD , I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE TIRES WHERE SO BAD THAT I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE FRONT END WHICH HE FOUND THAT THE FOUR SHOCKS WHERE BAD THE TIRES , AND THE ALIGNMENT WHERE BAD , I THEN CALLED CHEVROLET TO ASK FOR THERE ASSISTANCE IN THE COSTLY REPAIRS AND THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE I HAD MY REPAIRS DONE ELSEWHERE THEY COULD NOT HELP , SO 1400 DOLLARS LATER MY CAR IS RUNNING GOOD AGAIN LETS SEE HOW LONG BEFORE SOMETHING ELSE GOES WRONG . LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING TO VIRGINIA BEACH , I STOPPED TO REFUEL AND WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR AGAIN THE GAUGE HAD STOPPED WORKING , THE LITTLE YELLOW LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF GIVING ME FALSE GAS READINGS THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY , WHEN I ARRIVED IN VIRGINIA BEACH I CALLED THE DEALERS FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND NO ONE WOULD REPAIR IT THEY SAID TAKE IT BACK TO NEW YORK CITY FOR REPAIRS . I THEN PLACED A CALL TO ON-STAR AND THEY SAID UNLESS YOU GET STUCK YOU WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT BACK TO NEW YORK FOR REPAIRS , WE WILL SEND YOU A TOW TRUCK AT THAT POINT AND LEFT ME WITH A CAR THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER THERE WAS GAS INSIDE OR NOT . GM GET IT TOGETHER . *TR |
