2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext air bags problems

“Brakes failed for no apparent reason around 8:00 am that morning. My friend and I was driving to my home in his 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer after many stops that morning. We was on the interstate doing 65 MPH. I noticed the traffic ahead approaching and I said "cars" indicating to my friend to slow down. He said "I have no brakes!" We narrowly missed the first cars and while readjusting we came into contact with the driver side of three vehicles rolling us on our side! I broke both my arms escaping thankfully with my life. We had no idea what suddenly and unexpectedly lost brakes. Weeks afterwards I started reading about the stabilitrac and steering sensor on the 1 of many Chevrolet vehicle defect issues. Around that year and I believe was the problem. I have been out of work and tried to explain this to people with no reply. I read an article about Chevrolet told about the issue and refused a recall. Senator Blumenthal requested an investigation but I haven't seen anything after a judge requested a Chevrolet CEO deposed. If this vehicle has these dangerous problems please know that it almost killed my friend and i.…”

“THE AIRBAG DEACTIVATED LIGHT ON THE DASH CLUSTER COMES ON AND OFF BUT MOSTLY STAYS ON NOW. NO CODES SHOWING THE CAUSE. WHILE DRIVING BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF, LATER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT MELTED BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHT CONNECTORS AND WIRES AT THE BULB END, NEW CONNECTORS WERE INSTALLED. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN 1YR THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RELAY HAS GOTTEN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE CONNECTOR AND BURN OUT THE RELAY, CONNECTOR REPLACED TWICE AND CURRENTLY MELTING AGAIN AS FAN SPEED 1, 4, AND 5 HAVE AGAIN STOPPED WORKING. HEATER BLOWER MOTOR ALSO REPLACED TWICE CONCURRENT WITH RELAY.”

“ON AUGUST 18, 2017, I LEASED-TO-OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FROM ACTION AUTO OF TUPELO, MS. AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER OF 2018, I HAD LEND SAID VEHICLE TO MY SISTER. SHE CONTACTED ME SAYING THAT THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE, AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME, WHERE I INSPECTED IT WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY. TO RULE OUT EVERYTHING ELSE BEFORE I ACKNOWLEDGED THE SOUND OF THE KNOCK BEING A SEVERE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE ENGINE, I CONNECTED A DIAGNOSTIC SCANNER TO THE CAN DATA CONNECTOR ON THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. IN SECONDS THE SCREEN ON THE SCANNER WAS FLOODED WITH FAULTS, BUT THEN THE SCANNER STARTED BEEPING, SAYING THAT THE SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. LOOKING AROUND THE VEHICLE I DIDN'T SEE ANY SIGN OF ANY AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED, OR ANY SEATBELT MISSING. IT WASN'T UNTIL I CHECKED THE CONNECTORS COMING OUT OF THE AIRBAG MODULE THAT I SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE MISSING. I INFORMED MY INSURANCE PROVIDER REGARDING THE ISSUE, WHICH THEY ASSUMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN A CURRENT ACCIDENT. IN WHICH IT WAS NOT. AFTER FURTHER EXPLANATION, THEY CANCELLED THE INSURANCE AS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ARE ONE OF…”

“2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPUN OUT ON SNOW WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. IT WENT TOWARDS THE LEFT THEN IMMEDIATELY JERKED AROUND TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED AS IT LAUNCHED US OFF THE ROADWAY AND INTO A GROUP OF TREES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T BUDGE, THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO TURN IN CIRCLES NOT CONTROLLING THE TIRES AT ALL. THE BACKSEAT BROKE APART BEFORE IMPACT AND WAS THROWING MY TEENAGE SON AROUND IN THE BACK. THE FRONT SEATS BROKE LOOSE AS WELL AND SLAMMED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER INTO THE DASH DURING IMPACT. THE SEATBELTS DID NOT ENGAGE TO LOCK INTO PLACE LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND DESPITE FULL FRONTAL DAMAGE AND A SUV DEEMED TOTALLED/DESTROYED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED OR ATTEMPTED TO DEPLOY. WE WERE ALL TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND ALL SUSTAINED INJURIES IN THE CRASH INCLUDING CUTS, BRUISES, WHIPLASH, AND MY DAUGHTER HAD A CONCUSSION. MY DAUGHTER HAD A VP SHUNT PLACED IN HER BRAIN LAST YEAR AND COULD'VE EASILY DIED IN THIS CRASH DUE TO HER INJURIES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS NOT WORKING!!”

“MY SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN HIS 2006 TRAILBLAZER. HE WAS CROSSING A CITY STREET INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE STRUCK HIS TRUCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT AN ESTIMATED 40+MPH, THE TRUCK FLIPPED AND SLID ABOUT 15-20 FEET. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.”

“I WAS IN A CRASH AND NEITHER FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER QUESTIONED IF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM EVEN WORKS. I HAVE COPY OF THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR AS WELL. DUE TO THE FORCE OF IMPACT EVEN LOCAL REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT MY AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF AS WELL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL FOR AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING? I WAS IN A SECOND WRECK ON 3/7/17 AND NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED AT THAT TIME EITHER AND THERE WAS NO BUMPER SO AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEFINITELY GONE OFF.”
