So glad I traded in my Toyota Tundra for this Chevy. ;-/ I put 150k miles and 7 years on the Tundra - had the brakes worked on at 120k. That's it. Never had it to a repair shop or dealer to fix anything. |

Replying to: robandshell (Sep 03, 2007 6:46 am) I was able to get the problem to occur for the tech. He almost instantly said he thought it was a bad connection or bad neutral switch in the gear selector column. I should know tomorrow. I'll post an update, hopefully to say that it was just that simple.

Replying to: dougrsmith (Sep 03, 2007 12:27 pm) So far, it is running fine. The intermittent problem was becoming a persistent problem shortly before I took it to the dealer. It actually shut off on me on the freeway going to the dealer to drop it off. It was also getting to where 3/4 of the time, trying to start it would foul up. From everyone elses' descriptions, it sounds to me like any bad electrical connection in the chain from the battery, through the ignition, to the starter will cause the symptoms described. Some of you said that you replaced the ignition switch but the problem came back - I'll cross my fingers, and will repost should the problem come back.

Replying to: iamcanadian_eh (Apr 17, 2007 3:52 pm) First, let me say I know nothing about cars and am a woman, but I am looking for advice as my my Trailblazer is parked in front of my house, and I am home with 4 children. My husband says this will cost $300-400, which we can't do right now, but I am not sure what is wrong. (our warranty is expired, of course!). Monday after ball practice, I got in the car and when I started it, the lights flickered and wouldn't start. So, one of the parents jumped it and got it started. After getting it home, it won't start again. My neighbor used his battery charger to charge, and it did, but still wouldn't start. The lights are all bright and the radio and such all work, but it still won't start. Both my husband and the neighbor have said the starter, but after reading some of other posts, I am seeing other related issues. Can anyone give some advice? Help!
