When backing out of a driveway on a 50 degree incline vehicle rolled forward. As a result, vehicle crashed into a fence. Dealer stated transmission malfunctioned.
2003 trailblazer that's been making a tapping noise for months when I turn it off but told there was no problem. Told sometime exhaust system makes this innocent noise. Now started the trailblazer and it sounds like a jet taking off then engine light came on. Told by dealer that clutch fan broken and need to reprogram the computer at a cost of $900. After researching this issue, found hundreds of owners with the identical problem. Requesting a recall!!!
