About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The accelerator pedal position sensor failed causing loss of power to the vehicle. The vehicle would only accelerate to 10mph and almost caused an accident. I also had/have numerous other problems with the vehicle.
2003, Chevrolet Trailblazer. 4 speed automatic trans. 4 wheel drive. Standard length chasis. 6 cylinder engine. Problem experienced; upon acceleration onto the interstate highway, the engine lost power for appx. 5 seconds. The accelerator pedal remained depressed, the engine resumed acceleration after the time specified. Created much fear, since interstate traffic speed limit is 70 mph, and cars on the intersate came up onto the bumper very quickly. This is the only occurence to date. Also, gasoline filler neck too narrow, or vent hose constricted? frequent reflux of gasoline during the process of filling. Takes a considerable amount of time to "top the tank". so much time that, I have yet to been able to "top" the tank. Problem occurs at every pump, not indigenous to the gas pump, appears inherent to the vehicle.
