DT: CALLER SAYS THE BALL JOINTS STARTED GOING BAD ON JANUARY 13, 2005. THE RIGHT FRONT FELL OFF, AND WAS REPLACED AT 35,000 MILES AND AT 40,000 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AND AT 43000 MILES THE RIGHT AND LEFT WERE DEFECTIVE. DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS AND THE SPINDLES. MANUFACTURER SAID CONSUMER COULD TRADE THE VEHICLE IN AND WOULD GIVE HIM $750.00. IN ADDITION, CALLER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND FELT HE WAS BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE MANUFACTURER HAD THE UPPER HAND. *AK

AT ABOUT 45K MILES MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE HAS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM SUVS AND TRUCKS. THE COST OF FIXING THIS IS USUALLY BETWEEN $600-$1200 DOLLARS. HOW CAN GM SIT AROUND AND LET THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS GO THROUGH THIS (ALL HAPPENING AROUND 50K MILES) WITHOUT DOING A RECALL? *TR
