This issue occurred about 6-7 times throughout my 15 mile trip. My travel was on a highway and speeds were between 55-68 m.p.h. At the onset of each occurrence. I would hit a bump in the road (not a major one ' just a bump) and then the 'stabilitrak active' light would be illuminated in the dash continuously blinking like it's stuck. Then: -the truck would become sluggish dropping speed and knocking off the cruise control -you can't accelerate -the steering locks up sort of causing it to feel like the truck is out of control, this occurring at highway speeds -the amount of power used by stabilitrak was immense ' the headlights began to dim the longer it was stuck in this state -if you try braking during these spells it has the anti-lock active so you're just grinding away like you're in a skid but not stopping (and this is on dry pavement!) -- this occurred one time while I was on an exit ramp and and I was unable to slow thankfully I had taken the ramp a little slower to begin with or I could have been in major trouble in the curve then suddenly as quick as it all started it releases ' the light shuts off and all returns to normal.

Driving 40 MPH in city traffic, approaching stopped traffic. Brakes start to lock up. While completely stopped the brakes are locked, the pedal will not compress. When apply gas, the car does not go forward. I had to put the car in park, turn off the car, and then start it and put back into drive for it to work.

2wd 2007 trailblazer super sport goes wide open throttle after start up and selecting reverse. This is with foot on brake to shift and no throttle applied or touched since start up. Vehicle was in a parking lot. Engine went full throttle and smoked rear wheels just after selecting reverse. This dragged the front wheels backwards a short distance with the front brakes locked up. Shifting to neutral had the engine go over the 6500 RPM redline ignoring all PCM programmed rev limiters. (rev limiters: 4000 RPM in neutral and 6500 RPM in gear.) dealer found dtc u1017 loss of serial communications for class 2 devices. I know of 4 other 2007 trailblazer super sport that have randomly gone wide open throttle. This is an additional problem since complaint number : 10269455 throttle hang up - not always returning to idle power.

Check engine lightstarted coming on, then the stabil-trax and the engine deceleration light started coming on. When this started, the engine would shut down every time the lights came on.at first it was at intervals of 40 to 140 miles. Whenever the engine first started this, you could shut the ignition off for 1-2 min. , then the vehicle could be started and driven until the lights came on. Dotson chevrolet, in big sonne gap, va. ( where we bought vehicle), has had the vehicle off and on for 6 weeks. They have changed the sending unit in the fuel tank, and the PCM module on the engine so far. As of today, 10-19-09 the vehicle is now shutting down at 8-10 miles. They say they are still checking , but now they are thinking the problem may be in the wiring. So far, we have luckily been driving in light traffic, where we were able to get out traffic to the side of the road, without any problem. If this problem occurs on the interstate of in heavy traffic , it could cause a serious accident. The dealer says the have been in contact with gm about the problem. I would have thought that gm would have tech people, of engineers that would know why the codes and lights don't correspond when this occurs, or would have some idea what might cause such a problem.

When I have the truck moving it doesn't matter what speed the throttle body stays open making it very hard to come to a stop. Feels like the engine is fighting me to stop.
