| 2004 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS | WHEN CHECKING MY BRAKES I NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WHERE CORRODED AND RUSTY. THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 32,262 HIGHWAY MILES. APPROXIMATELY 25-30% OF THE INSIDE OF THE ROTOR WERE RUSTED AND HAD WORN DOWN THE BRAKE PAD. SO ONLY 70% OF THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD WAS BEING USED FOR BRAKING. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKE PADS TO WEAR UNEVENLY. APPEARS THAT THIS COULD BE SERIOUS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I CHECKED THE REAR ROTORS AND THEY ARE STARTING TO DO THE SAME BUT ONLY 1/2" ON THE OUTER EDGE OF BRAKE ROTOR IS RUSTED. I CHECKED THE RECALLS AND THERE WERE NONE FOR BRAKES. I CHECKED WITH CHEVY AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. IN CHECKING WEBSITES, TRAILBLAZERCLUB AND TRAILVOY, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. I WOULD ASSUME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE METAL. *NM |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WENT TO MOVE INTO THE INTERSECTION. A COUPLE OF FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION THE TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD BANG TYPE SOUND AND THE SUV STOPPED MOVING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT WITH CROSS TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST HIT TWICE WHEN I PUSHED THE SUV OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. THE SUV WAS REPAIRED AT A DEALERSHIP THE CAUSE WAS A FAILURE OF THE FORWARD SPRAG IN THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WAS A 2006 TRAILBLAZER LT 4WD WITH A 5.3 L V 8. TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED OLD PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *JB |
