The evening of march 10 2013 around 1700 hour my brother a single man, was fatally killed in his 2007 chevrolet silverado k1500 pick-up truck, approximately 1 mile from his home on a paved country road. He was pr0nounce dead @ 1730 hour. The cause of the accident has not been determined, yet the report will show that he was traveling on a down hill slope where he swerved off the pavement to the right and then over corrected back on to and crossed the pavement on the left and then back across the hi way on the right impacting a bridge embankment over turning over hitting a tree, resting right side up. His air bag never deployed. We were told there was not any thing wrong with the airbags mechanism, further that the crash was not head on. This vehicle is totally destroyed. I have it in storage for any one inspection. My brother was not ejected from the vehicle, I do believe, should the bags had deployed, my brother would be alive today. Also, further his steering from one side to the other indicated he had no power steering and finally, the skid marks on the gravel edge and not on the pavement, give an indication, there were no power assisted breaking all add up to the fact the vehicle lost its electric power by the key switch accidently shutting the engine off.

I purchased the 2007 chevrolet trailblazer thinking I would have a good dependable car, not so. The stabil-I trac check light comes on and then when the cat is restarted it goes off. The gas gauge has dropped to empty and will no longer indicate fuel in tank, there has been a recall notice on this , however gm is only paying for 50% of the cost of repair. I had and accident ($ 2400.00) due to this gas gauge failure, no one hurt but could have been disastrous. Gm was notified and a claim filed and the results were they were not at fault. Now the lowbeam lighting system on the vehicle has gone out. I have had the fuses, sensor, and the bulbs checked and no one can find the problem. I am very frustrated with gm and the fact that the cars they produce now are substandard and they are not standing behind their products.where do I turn now? I need my vehicle.
1. No events noted. 2. Check engine light illuminates and stability traction control light illuminate periodically. When ever the traction control light is on, there is a very sharp jolt in the rear end whenever the vehicles start moving. 3. Taken into the dealer twice now. No remedy. Stated they through it was the fuel being used. So I have ran several tanks of fuel through it now and it still has the lights. I have made sure I purchased fuel from large dealer such as shell or conoco to make sure fuel should be good. I will take the trunk in again this week.
