Last April GM recalled the 2001 Chevy Trailblazer SUVs (soon after they went on sale) and ordered the 6,000 owners to stop driving the vehicles immediately until it fixed a faulty suspension part. GM temporarily halted production of the vehicles until it fixed a component in the lower control arm of the front suspension, which could cause the vehicle to go out of control if it failed.

Your Mom's TrailBlazer should be fine, but....

Then there was this recall...

General Motors is recalling over 86,000 new sport-utility vehicles due to fears the vehicles could shift out of park and roll.

Most of the vehicles affected by the recall (announced on Nov. 9, 2001)were sold in the United States. The recall covers 52,338 Chevrolet TrailBlazers and 25, 666 GMC Envoys sold in the U.S. Approximately 4,600 of the SUVs were sold in Canada.

I would contact the selling Chevy dealer and verify that this problem has been addressed and there is no danger of the part failing on your TrailBlazer.

Love that GM quality.

At least they fixed it instead of sayimg Oh well A la Ford....Sad but true
