Leaving my place of employment, I made a left turn on to the road. While in the turn, my SUV began to stall.the engine malfunction indicator lamp came on. I managed to coast on to someone's property. I turned the engine off and sat there for approximately 15 minutes. Then, I restarted the engine and managed to get home. I used a scanner to get the code for the possible malfunction. The malfunction was listed as p2135, which read, in part "throttle/pedal position sensor/switch a/b voltage correlation". This same problem was cited in the federal safety agency: action number: 10047220 service bulletin number: 340852., for the model year 2008. However, the dealership and gm, have stated that my vehicle is not covered. This is a great source of frustration. With the hundred of thousand of vehicles that has been recalled by gm for a multitude of defects, somehow the model year 2008, is a model of perfection. Fortunate for me, that I was not on the freeway when my vehicle began to loose power.

I've noticed several times that my vehicle will turn on when I place the ignition key into the "on" position right before I turn the key all the way to start it. I'm not sure if it was due to the cold weather or not. Also, my engine light is always on and I had it tested which came back as an emissions control problem. Which could be the gas cap I haven't paid to fix yet.

We purchased a 2008 chevrolet trailblazer in september 2008. The day we drove it home the entire electrical system shut down. The lights, locks, blinkers, and all gauges were not working. The vehicle was taken back to the chevrolet dealer and the onstar module was replaced. A few months later the electrical system failed again, this has happened 3 more times since purchasing the vehicle 3 years ago. The vehicle has also had the check engine and stabilitrack lights turn on and off numerous times...sometimes for a day or two, sometimes for a week. The vehicle has been in the shop more than 13 times in 3 years for electrical related problems, several electrical modules have been replaced. My grandmother has the same vehicle and has had the same type of problems with the electrical system.
