Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Trailblazer owners report experiencing squeaking brakes, which they attribute to issues such as metal shavings in the brake pads or the use of semi-metallic OEM brake pads, with many recommending a switch to ceramic pads for resolution. Additionally, some owners have encountered a check engine light accompanied by a reduced engine power warning, despite diagnostics revealing no error codes. Furthermore, reduced engine speed and poor performance have been noted, leading to overall diminished engine output. It is advised that owners have their brake systems inspected, consider changing to ceramic brake pads, and consult a mechanic for the check engine light and power reduction issues to ensure vehicle safety and performance.
