What owners wrote
While traveling at 70 MPH was changing lanes when vehicle began to tip, then flipped over twice. Upon impact, airbags did not deploy. Passenger and driver sustained back and head injuries.
I have had my trailblazer for 6 months (since 9-29-03). I bought it used and have taken it in to get things that have gone wrong with it checked. I bought the 3/36,000 warranty and have not benefited from it. I have read that there was recall on the front lower control arm brackets, which may fracture. I took it in because I was hearing a noise when I turned. They told me what the problem was and I drove it for another month while the parts were being ordered and the ok from GM to cover this repair.
