CoolBlueSS Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 First off, glad you and your passenger are ok. Second, I hope GM does the right thing, and I hope this doesn't leave a sour taste towards GM. These kind of things can/do happen to all makes of vehicles. As bad as it sucks it's probably an isolated incident, and hopefully you'll get taken care of. It's weird that they could fix the problem, though.

Holty Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Holy shit, so the damn thing just took off on its own and the brakes didn't work at all? That is surely a law suit waiting to happen. Glad you're ok, please keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkTbSS07 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) Thanks guys, I went to the dealer to get some of my stuff, the REP was down there, said I will either be put in a 08 Tb SS, or they will buy me out. Im hoping they will buy me out, not to sure i want another TB SS after this happened, but i will see. GM should be calling me any minute now, ill see what goes on with that convo. And no, when i tapped the breaks, the breaks didn't respond at all, and i didnt think of putting it into N, or using the E-brakes..To much panic...Anyway, i took a few items out of the SS, Like factory Nav disc if any needs it.. More updates will follow.. Not sure if I said this, but the front axle is bent, and the frame is bent, the dealer told me this today, so i will def not be getting this back.

ashleylorraine Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) John, I'm so sorry, sweetie. I wish it was me in the car with you when this happened. I'm glad you and your friend are OK. You still have my TBSS to drive in Edited September 7, 2007 by IH82W8 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmesSS Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I was with you until the brakes going out. With fly by wire I could see some weird stuff happening, but I don't see the brakes being a related problem. Was the LS2 a little too much for brakes, like they really worked they just couldn't stop the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlkTbSS07 Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Update: Insurance adjuster went to look at it on Friday, and just visual damage alone is $10,000, thats not including frame damage, since he did not go underneath the SS...

BlkTbSS07 Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 For anyone who cares. 15K in damage, Dayumm.. Just a very minor update..GM has 2 weeks to decide if they want to buy this truck back, if they want to buy i back then to court we go which could take up to 1 year. Hopefully either way I wont be getting this back, and in place of it ill have a 2008 BMW 335i Coupe, Black with red interior fully loaded.

xlr82sxs Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hey, Atleast ill still have a Reg TB sitting in my driveway. from all the problems i've heard about the trailblazer ss and the regular trailblazers from friends and the forums, i wouldn't ever consider one.. they look nice, but seem to be very troublesome for a lot of buyers.

eric.dally Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hey man good luck dealing with GM, hope you get a decent settlement without it being too much off a pain in you @ss. And those BMW's are nice but that LS3 in the new vettes sounds like it would make a pretty mean machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
