Well I bought this SUV used from americas carmart in gadsden alabama.they have a 100 plus lots and advertise good used qualtiy cars..when I bought the SUV I wanted to take it to the chevy dealer but was told their on site certified mechanic checked it all out and with the service agreement thought I was ok....had it two days and the transmission went out..the suspension was also an issue then 12/21/2014 ..going past 50 it shook like crazy....and then the transmission was slipping againi purchased a service agreement for $595.00..it covers what my problems are...but the contract says they can use non manufacter parts which is fine...when I brought it to them with the transmission..they put a junkyard salvage transmission with 100.000 miles on it...when I called them in december about the shaking and suspension and the transmission...they said bring it in...I asked them where they were going to take it..they refused to tell me...and I told them I didn't want a junkyard suspension or transmission as per contract was not suppose to happen..I also asked for a certified mechanic to do the work...they said they would see what they could do.I do a lot of driving in tennessee..alot of mountain driving and I was not going to have the front end {ball joints,etc go out there..not real safe..they came and got the car...I thought they were going to fix it as agreed...that was on the 8th of jan..now they say they are going to sue me for the remaining balance....I just want to call attention to this SUV as it is not safe..and its my opinion they do this a lot to other people...I wanted to draw this to your attention as I would feel bad if I heard of someone getting seriously hurt..due to their inability to sell quality used cars as they advertise...and believe their practices on repairing these cars with a service agreement gets checked into..I filed a complait w/the ftc and agoffice.

Three times since purchasing this vehicle in january 2012, I have had to replace the right front wheel hub assembly due to bearing failure. Recently the transmission, which has not exhibited a leak, was very low on fluid, (3 quarts) and the fluid was burned. The transmission now slips and is changing erratically. The vehicle was regularly serviced at buff whelan chevrolet in sterling heights, mi.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet trailblazer. The contact took the vehicle to midas for preventive maintenance. The transmission was flushed and the oil was replaced with a life x-tend oil, which caused the transmission to slip and make a loud noise when shifitng into reverse or drive. The dealer stated that the bearing failed. The contact feels that the oil that was placed in the transmission revealed that the transmission had previous failures. A report was filed with the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that they will investigate the failure. The x-tend oil manufacturer stated that they would pay for the repair if it is proven that the oil was the cause for the transmission failure. The current and failure mileages were 102,000.

Shortly after I purchased a 2004 chevy trailblazer I began to have problems with a loud vibration from the undercarriage. It has been to the shop numerous times but is still not fixed. Recently the vehicle began stalling out at any given time. Dealer could not replicate. Still does it!!! Around the same time my transmission would slip. Dealer could not replicate. Still does it!!! Now I am feeling a lot of vibration in the steering wheel when I turn. Talked to other tb owners and I thinking I will need to replace the struts. What next!!
