Default Car wont accelerate in turns??

I know the 10bolts is probably giving up, but could it be something small I could replace ?

The car wont accelerate when turning; feels like the car is falling in neutral but the gear is in there and when I get back in a straight line, it goes ok...I feel a bit of a slack too when going straight, but its ok. Like if the car wasnt pushing all the power down to the rear wheels.

What in the diff is probably causing this?

I've never heard this one. Does the rear make any noise at any time?

If you're an A4 check your tranny fluid.

It doesn't sound like a rear end issue to me.

Won't accellerate as in you push the pedal and the car revs free, or you give it gas, it holds an RPM and just doesn't go anywhere?

If the car is revving free, your tranny has some issues. If it just doesn't go, then I have no idea.

I'm also for the low fluid scenario, and have seen
it myself (got shorted on fluid at the last converter
install, found it after some crazy flare action made
me look at stuff).

No tranny issue, I'm sure. I think the car might need more fluid in it it(small leak..) Make no sense to me that its a tranny issue when its perfect in every gear in straight line or easy turns.

Its reving free in hard turn only.

I'll add fluid tomorrow and tell.

Default better late than never

This evening I searched this same topic, car will not accelerate when turning and found this thread. I drive a 2004 Trailblazer. Turns out that my friend's young son was sitting in driver's seat playing, while we were putting things in trunk while car was off, with instrument panel and turned the **** from 2 wheel to between the 4 and all wheel setting. Since any changes to these settings must be done while car is in motion it must have disrupted something and now that we turned it back to 2 wheel while car was driving there is no longer any deceleration when turning!

Yay and no trip to mechanic necessary.

Sometimes a simple fix is all you need.

First off, welcome to the board! Lots of good people and info here, Glad to see you were using the search function and found this I have no idea how.

Secondly this thread is over 5yrs old, not to mention I don't think your 4wd Trailblazer is going to have much in common with a Camaro that is having rear end problems.

Welcome aboard!
