| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 chevrolet trail blazer on july 18 at about 9:00 am my daughter entered route 3 going east coming from route 601. about 3 miles down the road at a speed of about 45 mph she believed that a animal was running across the street were she tried to avoid a hit. she then reported that the car became unstable and was not controllable at all. she also reported that the car would not brake and she could do nothing she said the car drove like on "ice". the car rolled over and landed in the right side of the road in a ditch. we thought ok an accident. insurance took care of it. yesterday october 19 at the nearly same place. 2 miles down on route 3 going east with an 2002 gmc envoy my wife was driving behind a slow moving car and she wanted to pass when she saw a car in the left lane coming fast and she decided to stay in her lane. by doing so the car became unstable she couldn't steer or brake and as she recalled it, the car went to the right rolled over 4 times the roof was pushed in towards the driver seat that when she was taller she would be dead by now. her luck was that she is a short korean women. since i don't believe in coincidence 2 similar cars within 3 month with the same or identical problem i hope somebody will look into that. i will contact gm about this. by the way the airbags in both cases didn't happen. i have pictures from the street and found strange marks going towards the dodge and a mechanical mark on the road going from the street into the ditch. there are no brake marks at all. inside the car is a black beam with about 18 or 20 bolts which i believe is the towing bar from the front of the car. the bolts are all totally ok but there is no marking at the threads at all. not one nut to see. i took pictures of the strange tire marks and stretches on the road the ditch and the car. i called the insurance and asked them for an investigation. the car will not be touched or brought away at that time. *nm |
