OnStar FTW

my mom called me a while ago and said she might need me to pick her up from the Chevy dealership because she had to take her brand new TrailBlazer with ~1000 miles on it in (theres a 2 foot drift in my driveway that the GTO is gonna have to plow though…this should be fun). but i guess the Check Engine light came on while she was driving, so for some reason she hit the OnStar button, and the person told her exactly what was wrong with it!!! :bloated:

i thought that was pretty sweet that they can scan codes from a remote location like that.

Loose gas cap?

no its something with the coolant…

we got rid of our last Blazer because it had problems with the coolant system, and this is the second time we’ve had to take the new TBlazer in for service since we’ve had it, and it only has ~1,000 miles on it. so needless to say im a bit pissed at GM right now.

What’s more fun is doing 100mph + in a rental with OnStar, then calling Onstar, asking for directions and them constantly giving you wrong ones because “Sir, you’re driving to fast for us to accurately give you directions”.

LOL:funny:

that is pretty cool…but why would you buy another blazer if you had problems with the last one? Doesn’t that tell you something.

the other blazer we had a was a older style S10 blazer with a 4.3. the one was got is a 07 TrailBlazer…virtually everything is different about it.

Except the reliability. That’s still the same.

Onstar is fun, i talked to a girl for like 3 hours because I told her I was “tired” and “may fall asleep while driving” but I “didn’t want to take a nap on the side of the road cause I thought bears would eat me.”

I forgot the other one, drunk in Atlanta sitting in the car in the parking lot of the hotel asking them to find us strippers, a slip-n-slide and mass quantities of Jell-O.

lately i’ve been reading posts about GM…not a good one…
