This problem was brought up on FB group. One owner had his jack break while changing a tire. The pictures he posted showed that the arms on his scissor jack were made out of plastic instead of metal. I went out today and took some pictures of my jack which was not made out of plastic, but instead was all metal the way it should be. His Trailblazer is an AWD RS so my theory about cheaper jacks being put into lower trim levels was not valid.
Here is my jack and jack kit in my AWD RS.
Here are some pics of his jack.
Check your jacks and post here what you end up with, plastic or all metal.
