I received a email from carfax stateing the truck had diagnostic testing and is the transmission in the engine system. It’ll start up but you cannot drive it. It shows that are passed the state inspection on June 27/2025 stating that the truck passed the inspection how the truck went past inspection and it’s not driveable and I don’t have it. There’s no way that’s fraud you gonna say that the truck pass inspection when you can’t drive it normally when you go get a state inspection and once they do it and it pass they give you the keys and put the sticker on it. In this case the truck is still at the dealer and it’s not driveable. You can’t drive it. It’ll start up. They change the oil rotated to tires but it’s not driveable. You can’t drive it.

Almost every time I shift from park to drive and take my foot off the brake my car jolts forward a couple feet/inches to take off by itself in a manner that it should not. This has been going on since I got the car brand new and have had it just over a little over a year. I try to be as careful as I can with it and mentioned it to the Chevrolet dealership that does all my maintenance on my car. They are not sure what is causing the issue, but on 05/24/2025 I was attempting to get ready to get gas and needed to pull up slightly a little bit more and when I shifted to drive my car jolted forward and hit another vehicle. No damage was done to the other vehicle or mine, and the gentleman was nice and said it caused no damage for either of us but my car cannot keep doing this. Sometime is not right with it to be constantly jolting forward as soon as I shift to drive and take my foot off the break peddle to go. This could have been a lot worse had a human been in front of me and I do not want that to ever happen.

THIS IS AN UPDATE FOR COMPLAINT # 11619009 After doing some online research and discussing with the service manager at my dealership, we identified a SIMPLE issue- apparently there was a problem with the torque used in connecting the ground wire for the electrical auto start-stop feature, which is what cause my vehicle to completely die and not be able to be restarted. after it was identified, it was corrected within minutes. I highly recommend that there be a service bulletin for any purchasers/lessees of the new 2024 Trailblazer (and possibly other Chevy vehicles) to have the grounding issue checked.
