I purchased a used 2004 Chevy Trailblazer in February 08. It only had 23,000 miles on it. With in the first 2 weeks I had it my gauges started going crazy. They were jumping around all over the place. I took it back to the dealer to have it fixed and they tried to charge me. Fortunately I must have complained enough and to the right person because it was replaced at no charge to my self. I now am having major problems with it stalling and trying to stall. After searching the internet I see that I am not alone there are hundreds of complaints about this problem. Everyday upon start up it idles very rough and it tries to stall for a good 10 minutes. If I don't let it sit and idle before I drive it tends to stall. My check engine light will flicker at least once a day and every few days my reduced engine power light will flicker. I do not feel safe anymore. What if I am traveling and my car stalls and I lose control and from reading the other complaints I am at risk for my air bags not deploying. If it is a problem with the PCM, I don't have the money to fix it!!!!! why should I have too" I see that I am not alone with this problem. Why is their nothing being done about it? why should us as consumer already paying enough for these vehicles be responsible for their mistakes"

Our family was driving from columbus, Ohio to louisville, ky. We had just crossed the state line going up I-75 hill near florance. When my wife said she seen smoke out her side mirror. I looked in rear view mirror and seen a little myself. I was in fast lane running speed limit, all gauges showed all was ok. I put turn signal on to begin finding a place to stop. Other cars near us began blowing horns and pointing at front right side of car. Once we got pulled off side of road, we turned vehicle off. I pulled the hood release of our 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. The fire was already flaming out the front of the hood where you could not touch it to open the hood up. Flames were also very bad on the front wheel area. My family exited the vehicle and got safely away. It is now being investigated by GM. Was suppose to hear a update by August 31st on investigation. They moved date to September 2 with no response. I contacted them on September 6 and they said they are awaiting pictures of vehicle to be reviewed. They said they would update me on September 7. this vehicle was purchased new and had just turned 20K miles.

On 4 separate occasions vehicle stalled. When this occurred consumer tried to restart vehicle, but it wouldn't restart. Also, keys were stuck in the ignition. As a result, battery was drained. Dealership has replaced automatic transmission shift lock control, battery fuses, programmed the calibration for the engine control module, the starter, and its relay switch.
