When i start slowing down at light and the light turns green i start to speed up, a light comes on with a triangle and tire marks on the dash and the trailblazer shakes, its a 2008 with around 54,000 miles, does anyone know what this could be. It doesnt do it if i come to a complete stop, only if i start slowing down to stop and then push the gas to speed up.

Traction control system. Check your owner's manual for more information about how it be turned off. Problems like that are typically caused by a faulty wheel speed sensor. Sometimes steering wheel angle sensor. But I don't have one of those systems so I'm not totally up on its troubleshooting.

I think the ABS stores traction control codes. If you could get them read? Did a preliminary search for you and it seems it could be the steering wheel position sensor as Bill mentioned.

Well I thought there was a factory recall for this but after searching for it I couldn't find it so I guess I was wrong. I used to get this but it stopped and haven't gotten it for a while (knock on wood). I thought I had the dealer fix it under recall but I guess not.
