Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact stated that the driver was traveling at an unknown speed when the vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into a concrete wall.

The black box was investigated and the investigating officer determined that vehicle accelerated but the driver did not apply the brakes during the failure.
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 chevrolet trailblazer. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the steering wheel became loose without warning. The driver lost control of the vehicle, crossed over the median, and crashed into a truck on the opposite side of the road. The air bags deployed, but the engine started to burn. The driver of the other vehicle jumped out and used his fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. The contact's friend sustained injuries that required medical attention.
Swerved to avoid hitting a deer almost hit mailboxes so swerved to avoid them. I swerved to much than in my correction hit the gas instead of the brake. I than hit a tree between 45 - 50 MPH. My airbags never deployed.
ABS always engaging at low speeds, issue cause by ABS module located under vechicle, gets wet or moisture , poor GM design, poor location to pit electronics under vechicle. Alota of people online have same issue spening over 1000.00 on new module does not correct problem per online forums.
My 2007 chevrolet trailblazer head lights go off when I'm driving down the road. They do come back on after I stop for a minute or two. I can't drive my vehicle at night because of this issue. I looked up my trailblazer using my VIN number and it said there were no recalls on my vehicle. I've had other issues with my vehicle to. :(
