My 02 Trailblazer stalls at light and turns

Chevrolet Blazer 2002 SUV automatic V6 142000 miles
My 2002 Chevy Trailblazer acts like it will stall or does stall whenever I slow down for a light or to make a turn. I do notice if I tap on the gas it will stop sputtering, jerk, and continue to go. However, it's a very stressful situation in traffic or an intersection. If it does stall, it will start right up again but continue to have the problem the next time I slow down. Anyone have any advice? I've kept this vehicle well maintained but can't figure out what's wrong. I really don't need to be in an accident with my little one in the car. I can't afford a new SUV and I definitely need my SUV for work. Please help!

Water pump. Fuel pump... air filter. Thermostat. Oil filter... try keeping small idel while foots on the break if it doesn't stall out when lightly pressing gas while breaking most likely it one of those pumps usually the water pump.

Power loss

Chevrolet Blazer 1995  198 miles
Hi everyone, I have a van blazer 95 vortek 4.3 v6 ls and it was having an oil leakage through the crankcase gasket. When taking it to the mechanic, not only the crankcase gasket but also the filter and oil were changed. After that, the vehicle started feeling weaker than before and even once stalled on a parking ramp. A buzzing sound could be heard as if the gearbox was out of oil. What might be happening? In case it has something to do, I share that before the tuning of the car, only the change from first to second gear could be felt as the car jerked a bit. Luckily now this problem is not there any more. Has this ever happened to you? What might have been?

I tell you buddy that, when removing the carter and filter, you can check whether there is a transmission damage, either because the oil contains waste or little metal pieces or because the filter faulty. You should have started by scanning the vehicle.

Thank you Becca for your comment. I was thinking that may be the mechanic touched something else than only the crankcase gasket because I noticed him in a different car location than the one this car part is installed. It might be that he damaged the gearbox a bit in order to charge me even more.

Front driver side causing collision.

Chevrolet Blazer 2003 gold, 4dr, 2wd, 6cyl 90000 miles
The front driver side wheel and break pedal shook and grinded when turning , going around curvy mountain roads. The abs and skid control lights came on. We took it to 3 different mechanics, couldn't figure it out. July 31st 2015 the front wheel suddenly jerked to the left as I was going right. I collided head on with a truck in the opposite lane.
