THE FIRST THING TO GO WRONG WAS THE POWER WINDOWS DON'T WORK PROPERLY IN THE WINTER, NOW THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR INTERMITTENTLY, AND THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS THE HEADLIGHTS WON'T WORK AT ALL, I CALLED THE LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THAT THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC, EVEN THO I HAD THE CORRECT MAKE MODEL AND YEAR MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL! I'M VERY UPSET THAT THEY CAN BE VIN SPECIFIC BUT I'M HAVING ALL THE ISSUES ON THE RECALLS!! I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE IF IT IS RAINING, FOGGY, OR DARK BECAUSE I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS!!! I ALSO LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR IN THE RAIN AND THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE STABILITRAK, THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, LUCKILY I STOPPED MY CAR BEFORE I CRASHED INTO ANYTHING

Summary

THE SPEEDOMETER KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STICKS AT A HIGHER SPEED AFTER DECELERATING OR STOPPING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP, SPRING/SUMMER/FALL. MAKING A HARD BRAKING STOP, LIKE AT AN INTERSECTION, WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO DROP BACK 5-10 MPH, AS WILL TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. MOST SPECIFICALLY, YESTERDAY, MAY 31, 2019, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN AT ALL, AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS "PEGGED" PAST THE TOP END OF 110MPH. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

PROBLEM WITH FATALITY RISK. IN AUG 2016 LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND RUNNING LAMP BEGAN TURNING OFF RANDOMLY, INTERMITTENTLY. WILL USUALLY WORK WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, FAIL IN TRANSIT. INCREASES IN FREQUENCY, PROGRESSES TO FAILURE. ON LIT STREETS,I HAVE NO INDICATION THAT I AM ESSENTIALLY INVISIBLE. RELAY REPLACED BY DEALER, PAID FOR 10/1/16. MILEAGE 137K AT THAT TIME. BEGAN FAILING AGAIN 7/2017. DRM MODULE HAD FAILED. PART ALONE COST $267. PRIOR TO DEALER REPAIR, I HAD TRIED AUTO PARTS STORE MODULES AS WELL, AND EACH 2 BURNED OUT WITHIN 1-2 MONTHS. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, I THINK NUMBER 14921, ESTABLISHED MAY 2016. IT INCLUDES 2006-2007 TRAILBLAZERS. THEY EXTENDED IT TO 12 YEARS OLD OR 150K MILES, WHICHEVER FIRST. I CONTACTED GM. THEY ME THAT MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP SO THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS. WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT DISQUALIFIES MY VEHICLE, OTHER THAN VIN NOT COMING UP. DID ONLINE CHAT WITH THE REP AND S/HE SAID THAT I HAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU, NO INTERNAL COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT, NOBODY I CAN APPEAL TO WITHIN GM FOR HELP. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO FIX THIS, BUT NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WON'T JUST KEEP FAILING, SINCE THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE DONE A REPAIR IN 2 YEARS, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO, SO THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM PRIOR TO MY OWNING IT. I DO NOT HAVE A COPY OF THE REPAIR BILLS FROM LAST YEAR, BUT MY APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT REPAIR IS THIS COMING TUESDAY, 9/5/2017.

APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO MY DIM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I THOUGHT TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS AND LUCKILY THEY WORKED ON HIGH BEAM THANK GOODNESS THIS WAS A ROAD I KNEW WELL.. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS DURING THE DAYTIME. BUT IT OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS. I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RELAY. CHANGED IT AND PROBLEM SOLVED, UNTIL NOW. THE ISSUE IS BACK, GM SENT ME A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" LETTER, I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE LETTER AND WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE IT TO A CHEV. DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM MY VEHICLE DOES HAVE THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE ISSUE THEN CHEVROLET WILL LET ME KNOW WHAT WOULD BE NEXT. THEY DID CONFIRM MY VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE BUT CHEVROLET WILL NOT COVER MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS OVER THE MILEAGE OF 150,000. REALLY? IS MY VEHICLE NO LONGER WORTH FIXING OR IS THE ISSUE SUPPOSED TO RESOLVE ITSELF AFTER THE 150,000 MILE MARK? A SALESMAN CALLED ME AFTER I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT ME TRADING OR GETTING RID OF MY VEHICLE, IS THIS A PLOY JUST TO SELL VEHICLES?

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WORK AT TIMES, AND AT OTHER TIMES DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THE HEADLIGHTS MAY COME ON AT START UP, BUT THEN THEY STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.SO FAR THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK. THERE APPARENTLY IS A RECALL NUMBER (14291) BUT WHEN I CONTACT GM, I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS AS WELL AS TERRIFYING TO BE DRIVING IN THE DARK WHEN THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY STOP FUNCTIONING. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED, OR THE COMPUTER PCM HAS NEVER BEEN REFLASHED. RECENTLY I TRIED TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED IN NEW YORK STATE AND FOUND THAT BECAUSE THE OBD SYSTEM WAS UPDATED WITH A NEW SOFTWARE ON THE INSPECTION SYSTEM IN NEW YORK STATE, MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE INSPECTION COMPUTER. NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES HAS NO RESOLUTION ALTHOUGH THE INSPECTIONS ARE DONE FOR THEM. OPUS THE STATE COMPUTER MONITOR, STATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE INSPECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER DURING MY QUEST TO FIND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME OF THE VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM CONNECTING TO THE NEW SOFTWARE UPDATED JUST A YEAR AGO. I BELIEVE THAT IF CONSUMERS WAIT LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT PROPER INSPECTIONS IN NYS THESE VEHICLES WILL BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE PROPER INSPECTION. I HAVE FURTHER BEEN TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE NOW STARTING TO SURFACE AS A RESULT OF THE YEARLY INSPECTION IN NYS. MANY MORE A SURE TO COME OUT IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS.

I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL STATING IT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTER STATE AT 8;30 PM BOTH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED I MOVED THE LIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO TO MANUAL WITH NO AFFECT. THE FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. HOWEVER USING THE HIGH ON THE INTERSTATE COULD AFFECT ON COMING DRIVERS SO WHERE THE HIGHWAY WAS LIGHTED I USED THE FOG LIGHT. GOT HOME OFF INTERSTATE USING HIGH BEAMS. NEXT MORNING THE DAYTIME LIGHTS AND LOW BEAMS WORKING HOWEVER SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING TO STORE THE LIGHTS AGAIN WERE NOT OPERATIVE STOPPED AT PEP BOYS AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD MAKE SURE BULBS WERE OKAY BUT NORMALLY BOTH BULBS DON'T FAIL AT THE SAME . LATER IN THE AFTERNOON TRIED LIGHTS AND BOTH DAYTIME AND LOW BEAMS WORKED. A FRIEND TOLD ME GM WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH 2006 AND 2007 TRAIL BLAZERS WITH THE LIGHT JUST SHUTTING OFF AND A MODULE WAS BELIEVED TO BE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS SUPPOSE TO RECALL THE VEHICLES YET THEY DID NOT WARN ANYONE ONE ABOUT THIS ISSUES HOWEVER PEOPLE WITH EARLIER TRAIL BLAZERS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ALSO. EVEN IF GM IS TRYING TO DECIDE ON A RECALL FIX THEY AND THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE THAT THEY AT LEAST WARN THE VEHICLE OWNERS AND TELL HIM HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICES ABOUT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS AS A POINT OF REFERENCE MY LIGHTS FAILED ON AN OVER PASS DOWN RAMP AND CAUGHT ME TOTALLY BY SURPRISE THANK GOD IT WAS NOT A TWO LANE SECONDARY ROAD WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. ITS TIME TO FORCE GM TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. I AM TAKING CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO SEE HOW THEY DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON THE INTERNET YOU CAN GET A MODULE AT LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE I AM LOOKING INTO THIS TOMORROW SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND SOON IT WILL BE DARK AT 5 O"CLOCK AND I WILL BE CONSTANTLY DRIVING HOME IN DARK ON THE INTERSTATE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM I WAS TRAVELING ON A RURAL ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SUDDENLY MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HEADLAMPS WERE ON LOW-BEAM AT THE TIME. I CHECKED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND IT WAS IN THE PROPER POSITION. I SWITCHED THE HEADLIGHTS TO HIGH-BEAM AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THAT A 'HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE' IS TO BLAME. THIS MODULE APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF FAILURE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FLAW. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS HEADLIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO SUCH A POOR QUALITY DEVICE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NO DEVICES BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THE LIGHTS.

MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF FAILURE (UP TO EXECUTIVE LEVEL) BUT REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE EXISTING RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR HEADLAMP FAILURES. HUSBAND, WHO IS A MECHANIC, SWITCHED HDM MODULE WITH FAN MODULE, AND HEADLAMPS CAME BACK ON. THIS POINTS TO SAME TYPE OF FAILURE INCLUDED IN EXISTING CAMPAIGN. PLEASE GET THESE VIN'S INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MILEAGE WAS 88,122 FOR THIS FAILURE. PREVIOUS FAILURE ALSO REPORTED. IMPOSSIBLE TO GET DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THIS WHEN DRIVER HAS MOSTLY NOTICED LOW BEAM HEADLAMP FAILURE AT NIGHT--WHEN DEALERS ARE CLOSED. WHAT IS THE DRIVER SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN GM REFUSES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH REPLACING THE PART--SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY INSIST THAT A DEALER FIRMLY DIAGNOSE IT. THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT IF THEY'RE NOT OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!! SEE CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V755000. NOTE THAT HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS WORK JUST FINE--JUST AS THE VEHICLES THAT **ARE**INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!!!

AFTER LEAVING A MOVIE THEATRE AND UPON ENTERING THE FREEWAY JUNE 13, 2015 AT 12:30AM, IT APPEARED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE, (WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON) TO THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT TO PULL OVER AND FOUND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND WOULD NOT COME ON. I TURNED LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF, TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AND TRIED LIGHT SWITCHES AGAIN - THIS DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. THE HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. AFTER LEAVING THE HIGH BEAMS ON FOR A WHILE AND TRYING THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN, THEY CAME BACK ON. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER, ON AUGUST 8, 2015 WHILE DRIVING TO THE STORE, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AGAIN. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TRIED THE SWITCH, TRIED TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, AGAIN THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING WITH THE HIGH BEAMS FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I TRIED THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN AND THEY CAME ON. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES IN THE SAME WEEK ON AUGUST 11TH AND 12TH, 2015 WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.

I PARKED MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN MY DRIVEWAY SUNDAY 6/21/2015. I RECEIVED A CALL AN HOUR LATER FROM MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY LIGHTS WAS STILL ON. I ALWAYS HAVE MY LIGHTS SET THAT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THEY GO OFF AUTOMATICALLY. TRIED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS WITH NO LUCK. I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. FOUND THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE BAY AND NOTICED THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO SHOP, NOT ONLY DID THEY FIND THAT THE HDM MODULE #45 WAS MELTED, IT HAD RUINED THE MAIN FUSE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM THE HEAT. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAYLIGHT AND NOT AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD HEADLIGHTS VERY LONG WITH THIS MODULE BEING MELTED. ALSO THIS COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY WITH THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THAT WAS COMING OFF OF THE MELTED HDM MODULE. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THE TRAILBLAZERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

I DON'T HAVE EXACT DATE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IT IS JUST AN ESTIMATE. BUT ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. ALSO DON'T HAVE VIN WITH ME BUT CAN GET IT IF NEEDED. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT. LAMB'S CHEVROLET IN ONIDA, SD REPLACED IT. NOW A FEW MONTHS AGO THE PASSENGER REGULATOR WENT OUT AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME WELL THEY ONLY HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON THEM. WARRANTY OR NOT IT SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I AM FIGHTING WITH THEM ON PAYING FOR IT. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS ON WINDOW REGULATORS WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACING THIS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. ALSO THEY HAVE ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER WHY IT COULD HAVE GONE OUT WHILE ALL IN ALL THEY PROBABLY PUT IN A DEFECTIVE OR REFURBISHED ONE WHICH DEALER THESE DAYS ARE FAMOUS FOR AND CHARGING CUSTOMERS FULL PRICE.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HEADING HOME AND NOTICED THE ROAD LOOKED DARK. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND REALIZED I HAD NO LOW BEAMS. MY BLINKERS, FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ALL WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. MY HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY WENT OUT OFF AND ON (APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES) OVER THE PAST YEAR. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO IT THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING WHAT COULD CAUSE BOTH LIGHTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, I CAME ACROSS THE LATEST RECALL INFO. I CALLED CHEVY AND GAVE THEM MY VIN AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. STRANGE, SINCE I HAVE ALL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY ALL OF THE OTHER RECALLS ON IT SO FAR. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER CAREFULLY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I REALIZED MY HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A RELAY 45 AND 46 ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THIS RELAY AND MY LIGHTS WORKED. FOR A DAY. NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I'VE ASKED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT YET THEY DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION. BEING I WORK UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. IF THIS WERE A SIMPLE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL (WHICH I'VE ALREADY HAD REPLACED) I WOULD BE OK WITH IT FOR NOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A LIGHTING ISSUE WHICH CAN BE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMIDIATLY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEDDING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, AND MY HEADLAMPS FAILED. EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A PANIC, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR SAFETY, BLINDING ONCOMING DRIVERS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TESTED MY FOG LIGHTS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WORKED THEN. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10-15 OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE. I WAS POSITIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SINCE THE ISSUE ON THE RECALL IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE HAD TO LIMIT MY USE OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLAMPS WILL FAIL. SIDE NOTE - THEY HAVE FAILED AT NIGHT TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. GENERALLY WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (SCARY) AND TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT, AND TRY THEM AGAIN. *TR

Summary

AFTER PURCHASING A TANK OF GAS AND DRIVING FROM THE SERVICE STATION, MY DISPLAY REGISTERED EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED. I REVIEWED THE VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I RETAINED THE LETTER REGARDING THIS "POSSIBLE" SITUATION THAT I RECEIVED IN 2012 OR 2013 (NOT DATED), AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I NORMALLY HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. SINCE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE MILEAGE (120,000), I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE 50/50 PAYMENT AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WOULD BE 922.83 TO REPAIR. I TELEPHONED GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING THE CONDITION AND ADVISED THAT I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR, SINCE THE CONDITION WAS ANTICIPATED AND NOT DUE TO NORMAL USAGE. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUED SAFETY ISSUE, CHEVROLET SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. THIS REMAINS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOT ROUTINE OR ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE COST IS EXCESSIVE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR PAY ANY PORTION OF THE ASSOCIATED COST; AT THE LEAST, ALL PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED TO CORRECT THIS ANTICIPATED PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WOULD NOT PAY ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPAIR. CONSUMERS ARE ASKED TO BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURERS DO NOT MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE CONTINUED PURCHASES. *JS

Summary

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IT ALMOST KILLED ME BECAUSE I WAS ON A WINDING ROAD WITH NO STREET LAMPS. IT WAS PITCH DARK. I THREW ON THE HIGH BEAMS AND SAW THAT I WAS ABOUT TO CRASH INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AND GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD WITHOUT AN INCIDENT. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] EXT [XXX] AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL THAT IS OUT FOR THIS ISSUE DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE OTHER TRAILBLAZERS ARE HAVING AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE MYSELF IF I WANTED IT TO BE FIXED. I NEED GM TO KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT YOUR AGENCY NOTIFIES THEM OF WHEN A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND THAT HE WOULD DO NOTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE A WIFE AND A SON. OUR LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS RECALL THROUGH SO OTHER FAMILIES DON'T EXPERIENCE THE NEAR DEAD EXPERIENCE THAT WE DID.

Summary

INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. IN NOVEMBER, MY FUEL GAUGE AND DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER BEGAN TO SPONTANEOUSLY READ ERRATICALLY AND WOULD NOT ACCURATELY SHOW ME HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. CONDITION HAS RAPIDLY PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE ALMOST CONSTANTLY READS EMPTY, LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND FUEL LEVEL LOW IS DISPLAYED IN THE DIC. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 10054B WHICH STATES IT IS A PREMATURE WEARING OF THE FUEL SENSOR AND I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A MAILED NOTICE FROM GM REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SUCH NOTICE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN AND MY WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED SO THERE WILL NOT BE "VEHICLE ELIGIBILITY" FOR THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THROUGH THE "APPLICABLE WARRANTIES SECTION IN THE GLOBAL WARRANTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM." THIS ISSUE IS BIGGER THAN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM AND NEEDS TO BE A FULL RECALL, NOT A 50/50 SHARED RESPONSIBILITY WITH THE CUSTOMER WHEN GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE ISSUE IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT PREMATURELY WEARS AND CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION. ALSO, THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP INCLUDING THE SENDING UNIT AND FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, NOT JUST THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. *TR

THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS RESET WHEN YOU USE THE REMOTE THE UNLOCK THE CAR.

AFTER ALL THE MOVEMENT THEY ARE NOT ALIGNED FOR DRIVER 1 OR 2. IT'S A PAIN TO HAVE TO REALIGN BOTH MIRRORS EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAVE POSITIONED THE MIRRORS WHERE I WANT THEM, PUSH THE BUTTON TO SET THEM, WAIT FOR TWO BEEPS, AND NEXT TIME I START THE CAR, THEY ARE RANDOMLY MOVING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MIRRORS SEEM TO BE OK FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WITH THE RANDOM REPOSITIONING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID THE MOTORS IN THE MIRRORS WILL BURN OUT. *TR

Summary

MY MASTER WINDOW SWITCH CAUGHT FIRE ON 9/27/14. I WOKE UP THAT MORNING TO FIND THAT MY WINDOW DID NOT WORK WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THERE WAS A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING ON MY SIDE OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL. I TOOK OUT THE SWITCH AND IT WAS BURNED. IT ALSO BURNED SOME OF THE MATERIAL INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY WITH THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT. I TOOK IT MY FATHERS HOUSE WHERE HE DISCONNECTED THE MODULE. THE WINDOW WAS HALF DOWN. IT WAS 45 DEGREES THAT MORNING . I PAID SOMEONE TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK UP WITH A PRICE OF $150 DUE TO EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER AND HAVING A 2 YEAR OLD. I WENT TO CREW CHEVEROLET TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHEN THEY SAID THAT ALL 2005-2007 MASTER DOOR SWITCH WAS ON RECALL DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE THE SWITCH TO CATCH FIRE. WHEN THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 AND IM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE I SHOULD GET A NEW PART DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $405 FOR THE PART AND PROGRAMMING BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT MY MOTOR FOR MY WINDOW WAS NOT DAMAGED AS WELL. I CONTACTED GM MYSELF AND THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON 2005-2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN MY STATE JUST NOT MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

Summary

IN JANUARY 2014, I STARTED MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER WHEN I GOT OFF WORK AND THE WASHER FLUID AND WIPERS STARTED OPERATING ON THEIR OWN, AND THEN THEY STOPPED. THIS CONTINUED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. MY WIPERS AND WASHER OPERATING WHEN EVER THEY WANTED TO WHEN THE SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF. ONE EVENING MY HUSBAND WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND THE WASHERS WOULD NOT STOP AND FINALLY RAN DRY. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE FUSE UNDER THE HOOD TO DEACTIVATE THE WASHERS AND THE ONE UNDER THE BACK SEAT TO DEACTIVATE THE WIPERS. I DRIVE MY TRAILBLAZER LIKE THIS. WHEN IT RAINS, I PUT THE FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BACK SEAT AND WHEN IT STOPS RAINING I TAKE THE FUSE BACK OUT BECAUSE MY WIPERS NOW WILL NOT STOP AT ALL. WE HAVE REPLACED THE SWITCH ON THE COLUMN HOPING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD A 2002 CHEVY S-10 THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR

SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE 100.00 TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS. CALLED ANOTHER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS, IF INDEED THE RECALL IS THE PROBLEM. THE WINDOW WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN BY ITSELF, WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, TODAY. THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR.

Summary

I HAD THE RECALL FOR THE DOOR WINDOW MASTER CONTROL TAKEN CARE OF ABOUT 9 MONTHS- 1 YEAR AGO. TODAY, THE WINDOW OR DOOR LOCK DID NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TRY THE POWER MIRROR ADJUST, THE WINDOW WENT DOWN AND SMOKE CAME FROM THE DOOR PANEL. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PRETTY MUCH TOUGH LUCK BECAUSE THEY ALREADY TOOK CARE OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. REALLY? I'M GUESSING THE MODULE WAS BAD AND CORRODED WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THE WINDOW WORKS, SEAL THE PROBLEM AREA AND SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY. AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL, THE WINDOW AND OTHER COMPONENTS DID WORK BUT NOW THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS SHOWING UP. I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WATCH RECALL WORK BEING DONE BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS PROBLEM RESULTED FROM LIQUID LEAKING IN AT ONE TIME AND CAUSING DAMAGE. IT JUST TOOK FOR TODAY TO SHOW UP AND CAUSE A PROBLEM. MY INTERIOR STINKS OF BURNT PLASTIC. MY WINDOW IS PARTIALLY DOWN AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. I'VE READ ONLINE FORUMS CONSISTING OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT I EXPERIENCED TODAY WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. IF THIS WAS JUST A RANDOM PROBLEM OR SOMETHING CAUSED FROM MY USE OR NEGLIGENCE, I WOULD MAN UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ON MY OWN... BUT IT'S NOT. GM USED A BAND AID TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SOMEBODY WILL END UP GETTING HURT OR BURNED YET. I HAVE A PROSTHETIC LEG AND WHAT IF THE DOOR LOCKS WERE LOCKED SHUT AND THE THING STARTED ON FIRE? GM LISTENED AS I [XXX] ABOUT IT BUT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO OFFER FOR A SOLUTION. I WILL TAKE IT TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER FOR THEIR "DIAGNOSIS" ON A FAULTY SWITCH AND WORKMANSHIP. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AND THE STENCH IN MY VEHICLE. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE WAY ANYTHING GETS SOLVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

I HAVE A RARE TRAILBLAZER WITH A 5.3L V8. IT IS VERY LOW MILES WITH 41000, OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-4000 MILES AT GM DEALERSHIPS. I AM AN EX DIESEL MECHANIC OF 10 YEARS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE DEALERSHIP STATED: THAT 1 QUART OF OIL USED IN 2000 MILES WAS NORMAL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER SITES AND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 5.3L IN THE 1/2 TONS AND LARGER SUVS THAT THE MOTOR IS STANDARD IN. I HAVE WORKED ON ALMOST EVERY GAS, NATURAL GAS AND DIESEL ENGINE FROM THE 80S-LATE 90S AND ANY MOTOR THAT USES 1/6TH OF ITS OIL IN 1000 MILES AS IT MINE DID WHEN VISITING FAMILY LAST THANKSGIVING IS NOT NORMAL 1 QUART IN 770 MILES. I THOUGHT: WELL MUST HAVE GOTTEN A BAD MOTOR (LUCK OF THE DRAW), IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE NOT MILEAGE, AND I CAN BUY A RE-MAN SHORT BLOCK WHEN IT GOES OUT AND CHANGE IT MY SELF. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE WEB IF THERE IS ANY TRAFFIC ON THE PROBLEM. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF POSTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, AND GMS LACK OF ABILITY OR DESIRE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THAT GM HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PISTON RINGS AND VALVE GUIDES LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER WHEN IN 4 CYL. MODE, CAUSED BY THE SUCTION CAUSED BY THE POWER STROKE (OF THE 4 STOKE CYCLE) WITH BOTH VALVES CLOSED. OIL BURNS OFF CAUSING BUILDUP FURTHER DAMAGING THE ENGINE SENSORS AND CAT. CONVERTER. GM MUST HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE NEW 5.3LS HAVE NOT SHOWN THE SAME ISSUE. TO NOT SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IS INSANE. MANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE OF AUTOS SUDDENLY COMING TO AN UNEXPECTED STOP. WHAT ELSE WOULD HAPPEN IF YOUR ENGINE RUNS OUT OF OIL AFTER ONLY 1000 MILES OR LESS AND SEIZES? WHAT IF IT HAPPENS ON A HILL WHILE TOWING, DRIVING ACROSS A DESERT, OR IN THE WINTER. LASTLY IF YOU ADD UP ALL 2007 5.3LS ON THE ROAD BURNING 2 QUARTS OR MORE IN 3000 MILES, HOW IS THAT NOT AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER HOME AFTER A 150 MILE TRIP TO COLUMBUS AND NOTICED OIL SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY. I MOVED AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN ANOTHER LOCATION WHERE A LARGE PUDDLE OF "OIL." FELL UNDER THE ENGINE. I CLIMBED UNDERNEATH AND SAW TRANSMISSION FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE FRAME ONTO THE GROUND. I CALLED GRAHAM CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE AS IT WOULD CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN A COSTLY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED ON A FLATBED TRUCK TO GRAHAM CHEVROLET WHERE THEY REPLACED THE CORRODED AND LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES WITH A BILL OF OVER $500.00 FOR THE WORK DONE. THEY SAID GM KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND IT IS COMMON TO THESES VEHICLES, BUT NO RECALL OR WARRANTY REPAIR WAS AUTHORIZED. IT WAS THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM TO TAKE CARE OF. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND ALSO DID AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWING MANY TRAILBLAZERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT WITH A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE MATERIAL SUBJECT TO CORROSION AND FAILURE OVER TIME. GM AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND ISSUE A CALLBACK TO PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES DUE TO THIS FAILURE. *TR

LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND GET HAZARD LIGHTS TURNED ON BEFORE AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. AFTER FILLING TANK EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. THEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER AGAIN THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR SHUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BY GETTING CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND USING HAZARD LIGHTS. AFTER THIS INCIDENT WE FILLED THE TANK AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR STAYED LIT, THEN WENT OFF, FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL, THEN 1/2, THEN 3/4, THEN LOW FUEL LIGHT BACK ON (ALL THIS HAPPENED IN THE 12 MILES TO GET HOME). NOW THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS TO REFUEL EVERY FEW HUNDRED MILES AND THAT IS WRONG. *TR

Summary

WENT TO FILL MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER UP WITH GAS. NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLOATING FROM THE "F" TO THE "E", EVEN THOUGH I JUST FILLED THE TANK. IT FLUCTUATED FOR A COUPLE DAYS BACK AND FORTH. FINALLY, IT DROPPED TO THE "E" MARK AND THAT HAS WHERE IT HAS STAYED SINCE WITH THE "LOW FUEL LIGHT" ON. I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION NOW AND HAVE TO RESET MY MILEAGE AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO KNOW WHEN TO PUT MORE FUEL IN MY TANK. SINCE HAVING TO WATCH IT THIS WAY, I HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN OUT AND DRIVEN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. BECAUSE I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH MONEY (BEING A SINGLE MOTHER) TO FILL MY TANK UP, SO PUTTING $20 IN HERE AND THERE, IT MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE MILEAGE TO KNOW WHEN MORE GAS IS NEEDED. I LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME AND AM DISABLED. SO, BETWEEN THAT AND BEING A SINGLE MOTHER, IT'S NOT EXACTLY SOMETHING I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE FIXED AT THE TIME CONSIDERING I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HONESTLY FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE SPENT THEIR MONEY PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A VEHICLE (MINE WAS PURCHASED NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT) SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS APPARENTLY GM'S FAULT. IF IT WASN'T GM'S FAULT, THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM CUSTOMER'S COULD HAVE PREVENTED WITH "MORE RESPONSIBLE" DRIVING. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. WHEN I PRICED GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED (AT A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP), I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME $140. THAT THIS WASN'T AN ACTUAL RECALL, AND THAT THE COST OF FIXING IT IS $280 BUT I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HALF OF THAT AMOUNT (HENCE THE $140). WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR GM'S PROBLEM??

Summary

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT, THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL LIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT LIGHTS WOULD COMPLETELY GO OUT FOR A BRIEF SECOND OR TWO AND THEN TURN BACK ON. WHEN I GOT HOME, THERE WAS AN ODD FAN/VACUUM NOISE FROM MY ENGINE. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE AIR FILTER AREA. THE NOISE WOULD TURN RANDOMLY START AND STOP AND RUN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I UNHOOKED MY BATTERY, BUT MY BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED IN THE MORNING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE NOISE WOULD RANDOMLY START AND STOP, MOST NOTICEABLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THE ISSUE IS THE A.I.R PUMP RELAY - IN-LINE6 AND THE A.I.R SYSTEM PUMP - IN-LINE 6. THE LABOR DESCRIPTION FROM THE AUTO SERVICE STATES "CHECK SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AND ABNORMAL NOISE FROM ENGINE AREA. PERFORM DIAGNOSIS FAULT CODE P2431 FOR AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. FURTHER TESTING FOUND SYSTEM NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME. FURTHER TESTING FOUND AIR PUMP RELAY CONNECTOR MELTED SHORTED. PROBLEM DUE TO INTERNAL FAILURE TO SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP WORN NEEDS REPLACED. I HAVE MY VEHICLE SCHEDULED TO FIX THIS ISSUE TOMORROW WHEN THE REPAIR FACILITY CAN GET THE PARTS IN. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. THE AUTO REPAIR MAN ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS PUTS A HUGE DRAIN ON THE AMPERAGE, THUS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES OF THE BATTERY DRAINING AND THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING IN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WITH THE AIR PUMP RELAY CONNECTOR MELTED AND SHORTED OUT - THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY DUE TO THE FREQUENCY, KNOWN ISSUE, AND POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE FROM 1/4 TANK TO "EMPTY" FUEL LOW AND THE WARNING CHIME WENT OFF. THERE WAS AT LEAST 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. I CLEAR THE FUEL USED AND TRIP A EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK SO I ALWAYS KNOW ROUGHLY HOW MANY GALLONS ARE IN THE TANK. SO I KNEW WHEN THE FUEL LOW LIGHT CAME ON THIS WAS NOT TRUE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE FUEL LOW INDICATOR REMAINED ON BUT OVER THE NEXT 3-5 MINUTES THE GAUGE RETURNED TO THE 1/4 TANK POSITION. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO BRING IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO SHOW THEM PROOF OF THE FUEL INDICATOR OR GAS GAUGE SENDING UNIT IS FAILING. SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER PEOPLE I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST AS I FEEL THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER LINE AND IM HOPING FOR A FULL RECALL. I OWNED A GMC JIMMY BEFORE THIS AND THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE JIMMY. IM WAITING FOR THE FAILURE TO PRESENT ITSELF AGAIN SO I CAN TAKE IT FOR REPAIR. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SEE THAT CHEVY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IT WITH A 50% OFF REPAIR OFFER, IM HOPING I CAN JUST GET THE REPAIR DONE.

MY FUEL GAUGE IS STARTING TO FLUCTUATE. I JUST FILLED IT UP AND WHEN I GO DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL GO DOWN AT LEAST A QUARTER OF A TANK AND WHEN I STOP AND LET IT RUN IDLE FOR AWHILE IT WILL GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS. IT JUST STARTED THIS PAST WEEK. FROM WHAT I AM READING, IT WON'T BELONG BEFORE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER BUNCH OF MONEY INTO IT. LAST MONTH I HAD TO PUT A NEW THROTTLE BODY ON IT BECAUSE THE SENSORS WENT BAD AND WITH THIS YEAR THE SENSORS ARE IN THE THROTTLE BODY, SO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. AS I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE PART FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SEAT JUST BUSTED OFF. EVERYTIME IT GETS COLDER OUT, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM WON'T STAY ON. IT WAS ALWAYS OFF IN THE WINTER TIME, NEVER WORKED. WHEN LIVING IN MICHIGAN AND GETTING LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALOT OF THE TIME, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. BEEN BUYING THEM AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, MORE AND MORE OF THE NEWER VEHICLES HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS. I DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE AND TAKE DAYS OFF OF WORK TO GET THEM FIXED. NO THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN I LOOKED I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS ITEM, BUT STILL CHEVY KEEPS TELLING ME THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL. I AM SCARED AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO A POSSIBLE FIRE. *TR

Summary

WHILE PICKING MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL ON 11/15/2012 I SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC, THEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DRIVE DOOR IT WAS SMOKING REALLY BAD. I PUT THE CAR AND PARK AND OPENED THE DOOR, A POLICE OFFICER WAS NEAR AS I WAS IN THE SCHOOL ZONE HE SAW THE SMOKE COMING FROM MY CAR AND ASK ME WAS I OKAY. HE TURNED THE CAR OFF UNSURE IF A FIRE WAS STARTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE SMOKE STOPPED, BUT MY MAIN POWER WINDOW AND DOOR WAS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. MY CAR SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC FOR MONTHS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR MAY HAVE BURNED OUT AND IT WOULD COST $550.00 TO HAVE REPAIRED. I NOTICED ON 01/26/2013 MY GAS GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. I STOPPED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND FILLED MY CAR UP WITH $62.00 WORTH THE GAS AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON IT SHOWED MY CAR WAS ON EMPTY AND THE GAUGE LIGHT REMAINED LIT ALONG WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT. SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 30 SEC AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT STAYED THE SAME. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THE FUEL SENSOR WAS BAD AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A NEW FUEL PUMP PUT IN. I BOUGHT MY CAR ON 02/27/2010 PRE-OWNED WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS GIVEN A CAR FAX REPORT, AND IT WAS CLEAN. I READ ALL THESE REVIEWS ABOUT THE 2007 TRAILBLAZERS AND IT SEEMS THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE CORRECTED AS THEY HAVE TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AT A LOCAL WAWA GAS STATION THAT I'VE USED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, I BEGAN TO HEAD HOME AFTER WORK. AS I LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND PROCEEDED TO MERGE ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY MY FUEL GAUGE AND FUEL PUMP COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, TRUCK HAD SHUT OFF AS IF IT HAD RUN COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AS I HAD JUST FILLED THE 22 GALLON TANK WITH APPROX. 20 GALLONS OF FUEL. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE FUEL PUMP OPERATING AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THE FUEL PUMP WILL OPERATE PROPERLY. UNFORTUNATELY MY FIANCE AND CHILD NOW HAVE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT OF OUR SECOND VEHICLE BEING SOLD. IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO BEARING ON FUEL LEVEL IN VEHICLE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS ISSUE TO BE A RECURRING THEME FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2005 - 2007 AS WELL AS SEEING SPECIAL POLICY LETTERS SENT OUT BY GM TO ACQUAINTANCES WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR SUV FOR A REBATED REPAIR FROM A LICENSED GM DEALER AND YET I'VE NOT RECEIVED ONE. ITS NOW AFFECTING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR MY VEHICLE TO COMPLY WITH STATE REGULATIONS. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH ANY RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD FALL ON THE CONSUMER FOR A PART THAT WAS POORLY FABRICATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

WE NEED YOUR HELP! ***FAULTY GAS GAUGE*** OUR 19-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES OUR 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, WHICH APPARENTLY HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. OUR DAUGHTER NOTICED HER GAS GAUGE "DROPPED" TO E AND SHE BELIEVED SHE WAS ABOUT TO BE STRANDED ON A DANGEROUS PART OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND SHE PANICKED. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT SHE JUST FORGOT TO FILL UP. AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND THAT NHTSA AND CHEVROLET ALREADY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND NEGLECTED TO INITIATE A TOTAL RECALL OR ANY NOTIFICATION AT ALL. WE NEVER EVEN RECEIVED A WARNING LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM CHEVROLET. HOWEVER, WE ROUTINELY RECEIVE OTHER, APPARENTLY MORE IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE, SUCH AS, SALES LITERATURE FOR WARRANTIES AND ONSTAR. ****IF THIS WAS ONE OF YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SHE WAS STRANDED BECAUSE OF A FALSE READING, AND SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENED TO HER BECAUSE SHE WAS STRANDED, I THINK YOU WOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE MORE AGGRESSIVELY****** WE HAVE READ THAT CHEVY WILL PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY. THIS IS A QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE ON CHEVY?S PART, NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE ON OUR PART. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO IMPLORE THAT CHEVY COMPLETELY TAKE CARE OF THIS REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE TO US. TAKING TIME OFF FROM WORK AND SCHOOL, PLUS THE THREAT OF POSSIBLY STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND BEING KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IS INCONVENIENCE ENOUGH.

I HAD GONE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND ON THE WAY HOME MY POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING COOLER HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART ON MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. IF THIS PART RUSTS OUT ON DIFFERENT YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION LINES GASOLINE LINES AND POWER STEERING LINES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GASOLINE LINE AND FUEL PUMP ON THE 2003 , AND JUST REPLACED TRANSMISSION LINE ON THE 2007. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ENGINEERING CHANGE ON THESE VEHICLES. I ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE 2007 TRAILBLAZER FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCH. THE NOTICE SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR NOTIFICATION. IT COST ME $350.00 TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING REPAIRED.. *TR

SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO GET THE WHEELS BALANCED AND OIL CHANGE AT FIRESTONE. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT, NOR DID THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT GO OUT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT THE SMELL OF WIRES BURNING HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE REMAINED ON FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, THEN WENT OFF.

THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND LOCK CONTROL PANEL WORKS, REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CONTROL PANEL WORKS, AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW CONTROL PANEL WORKS.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE LOCKS OR WINDOWS FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR. MY KEYLESS ENTRY WILL UNLOCK ALL PASSENGER DOORS AND REAR HATCH, BUT I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR WHEN EXITING MY VEHICLE AND USE MY KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR TO GET INTO MY VEHICLE.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW LOWERED BY IT'S SELF, SOON THERE AFTER A STRONG SMELL OF SMOKE, CAME OUT FROM THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE POWER LOCKS, AND WINDOWS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD, AS THE CONTROL WAS LITERALLY SPARKING THE WINDOW THEN WENT UP ON IT'S OWN AND THERE AFTER IT DID NOT WORK ANYMORE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT PARTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE, HOWEVER THEY STATE THAT WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE THEY WILL CALL ME IN THE MEAN TIME THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE PARKED OUT DOORS SINCE IT CAN STILL CATCH ON FIRE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW I AM STUCK WITHOUT A CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. GM ALSO STATES THAT THESE MODULES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY 2013...NOTE THE MODULE LITERALLY MELTED. *TR

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER STARTED GIVING INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS AT A LITTLE OVER 50000. INITIALLY IT MIGHT SHOW A PARTIALLY FILLED TANK WHEN IT WAS FULL. NOW AT ABOUT 58000MILES IT JUST SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY SAID GM WOULD ONLY PAY ONE-HALF THE 500.00 NEEDED TO REPAIR THE GAUGE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON LINE I LEARNED THAT PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS UNFAIR, OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM GM NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE AS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND RECALL AND FIX THEM. THANKS *TR

HI, THE WINDOWS IN MY TRAILBLAZER WON'T OPEN. THEN OPEN SOMETIMES BUT THEN CLOSE THEMSELVES. I CAN HEAR CRACKLING INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE POWER IS ALSO SURGING THROUGHOUT MY TRUCK, I THEN HEAR CLICKING. I AM IN CANADA, NOT MONTANA, BUT THERE IS A USA RECALL ON A DOOR MODULE THAT I THINK IS THE PROBLEM. I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE IT WASN'T DISCLOSED TO ME AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE, BUT MY TRUCK WAS BOUGHT USED IN THE USA, BROUGHT INTO CANADA BY A DEALER, IT WAS APPARENTLY A RENTAL AT ONE TIME, AND IT WAS SOLD TO ME BY SOUTHPARK USED LOT IN EDMONTON, AB IN LATE 2007. THIS IS THE USED CAR LOT FOR DON WHEATON CHEVY/OLDS, IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 18,000KM ON IT. I FOUND OUT IT WAS A RENTAL FROM A CHEVY SALESMAN ABOUT 3-4 YEARS LATER WHEN I WENT TO SEE ABOUT TRADING IT IN. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS NOT BEEN THE RELIABLE VEHICLE I NEEDED WITH KIDS BUT I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DEAL WITH IT NOT ABLE TO AFFORD ANOTHER. I ACTUALLY BOUGH A SECOND CAR 2 YEARS AGO FOR $550, IT'S A 87 THUNDERBIRD COUP LX AND I HAVE HAD TO USE THIS CAR MANY MANY TIMES BECAUSE THE TRUCK ISN'T WORKING HALF THE TIME AND IT COSTS ME PILES AND PILES OF MONEY, IT'S VERY STRESSFUL. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND DOING MY BEST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE JUST TO GET BY. I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING SPECIAL HERE. I HAVE HAD TO PAY A LOT TO KEEP THIS TRUCK ON THE ROAD ALREADY, I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES THAT THE CHEVY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T "RECREATE" THE ISSUES AND YET I TAKE IT TO A NON DEALER MECHANIC AND THEY FIND THE ISSUES JUST FINE AND THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE I HAD FULL WARRANTY TO PAY IT ALL. PLEASE SEE RECALL: 12180 ESTABLISHED THIS YEAR, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF SOMEONE COULD HELP. WE ARE IN FULL SWING OF WINTER HERE AND I NEED TO HAVE FUNCTIONING WINDOWS AND DO NOT WANT TO CATCH FIRE ESPECIALLY WITH SOMEONE ELSE WITH ME, CHILDREN OR GRANDMA, PLEASE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. AFTER A FILLUP, I DROVE TO WORK, WHEN I DROVE HOME LATER, THE GAS GAUGE READ NEAR EMPTY. I THOUGHT SOMEONE STOLE GAS FROM MY TANK. I GET OFF WORK AT MIDNIGHT AND LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, SO I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS BEFORE I GOT HOME. (THERE ARE NO GAS STATIONS ON MY ROUTE). NEXT DAY I GOT A CAN OF GAS TO FILL THE TANK ENOUGH TO GET ME TO A STATION, AND I FOUND THE TANK TO BE FULL. SINCE THEN THE GAUGE HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND EMPTY ACTIVATING THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AND I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT NOW. ASKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AND GM WILL PAY HALF REPAIR COST. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE HELP LINE CONFIRMED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT HALF PRICE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO GET REPAIRS DONE WHEN THEY ARE ADMITTING IT IS DEFECTIVE?. *TR

AT AROUND THE SAME TIME THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO SHOW EMPTY AFTER FILLING UP ALONG WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT. THE WINDOW SWITCH'S ON THE OTHER DOORS REMAIN OPERATIONAL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DRIVER HAS NO CONTROL OF DOORS OR WINDOWS WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CHEVY DEALER SAYS THIS WINDOW SWITCH IS 426 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IS ANOTHER 450 DOLLARS. FROM WHAT I GATHER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAIL BLAZER WITH NO OFFER BY GM TO REPLACE KNOWN DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE WERE NO FIRES OR INJURIES. *TR

I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS. IF I CAN'T AFFORD TO FILL UP THE TANK ($90) A POP, ITS A RISK, AND WITH 2 KIDS, ITS A BIG ONE. *TR

Summary

2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VALVE STEM CAPS AND TIRE PRESSURE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, AN ICON ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND INDICATED LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE CONSUMER STOPPED TO A GAS STATION TO CHECK THE AIR, BUT WAS UNABLE TO UNSCREW THE VALVE STEM. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED HOME, HE HAD TO USE A SMALL BOX WRENCH IN ORDER TO GET A BETTER GRIP ON THE CAP. IT TURNED A LITTLE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE VALVE CAP BROKE OFF THE TIRE. THE TIRE THEN DEFLATED AND THE CONSUMER WAS FORCED TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE. HE WAS UNABLE TO SCREW THE VALVE CAP BACK ON THE STEM. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THE VALVE STEM CAP WAS CORRODED DUE TO THE SALT USED ON THE ROADS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF WISCONSIN. THE DEALER STATED THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT WAS A BAD DESIGN. THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT VALVE STEM. THE CONSUMER WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HAD THE VALVE REPLACED AT A COST OF $87.00 THE CONSUMER STATED THE ANOTHER VALVE STEM BROKE. *JB

Summary

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, I WENT TO TURN THE AC ON AND THERE WAS BEEPING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, ABS/STABILITY, AND A FEW OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON. THE OVERHEAD INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AND THE AIR WILL NOT BLOW OUT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP IS TO TURN THE A/C OFF OR EITHER TURN IT UP TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL (5). IF IT IS ON 5 AND I TRY TO TURN IT DOWN, THE BEEPING STARTS AND THE LIGHTS COME ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST HAPPEN RANDOMLY EVEN IF I DON'T TOUCH THE AIR. ONCE WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH, IT RANDOMLY HAPPENED AND MY CAR STALLED AND SLOWED DOWN AS IF IT WERE CUTTING OFF WHICH SCARED ME SO BADLY BECAUSE IF MY CAR HAD CUT OFF I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, OR EVEN WITH IT SLOWING DOWN THE WAY IT DID. MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STARTED SLOWING OUT OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AND THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I LOVE MY TRUCK SO MUCH, BUT AM CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF IT IF I CANNOT GET ANY ASSISTANCE WITH GETTING IT FIXED BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I KEEP TRACK OF MILES DRIVEN SINCE LAST FILL-UP AND GAS USED, SO I KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO FILL-UP. I HAVE READ MANY SAME COMPLAINTS, AND I WONDER WHY "GM" HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IT IS NOW 08/21/2012 AND PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. PLEASE. "GM" HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SUGGESTED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, TO DO SO, REQUIRES A FIVE (5) HOUR VISIT AND THEY EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO PAY HALF THE COST.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH ALL DOORS LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE NOT RUNNING. THE REMOTE UNLOCK BUTTON WAS ENGAGED AND ALL DOORS UNLOCKED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVER DOOR. THE REMOTE UNLOCK WAS ENGAGED 3 TO 4 MORE TIMES. THE DOOR WAS MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM PASSENGER'S SIDE. WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED, SMOKE WAS POURING OUT OF THE INSIDE. WE POURED AVAILABLE LIQUIDS DOWN THE WINDOW SLOT BUT SMOKE WAS STILL POURING OUT. WHILE MY SPOUSE WENT INSIDE THE BUSINESS WHERE WE WERE PARKED TO GRAB A PITCHER OF WATER, I JERKED THE PLASTIC OVAL PIECE AROUND THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE OFF AND SAW FLAMES. HE RETURNED WITH THE PITCHER AND WE POURED THE WATER DOWN THE OPEN HOLE AT THE DOOR HANDLE AND FINALLY MANAGED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME BUT NONE OF THE DOOR FUNCTIONS WORKED AT ALL. IT IS GOING TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRAILBLAZER SINCE THAT TIME. ALSO THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. WE FINALLY FIXED THAT ISSUE TODAY.

ONCE WE RETURNED FROM VACATION I TOOK IT TO A SUGGESTED MECHANIC AS PER MY WARRANTY COMPANY. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH, THE GENTLEMEN TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE ABOUT 2-3 HUNDRED DOLLARS AND ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IMAGINE THAT!WELL I PAID THE GENTLEMEN FOR HIS TIME AND HAVE BEEN WITHOUT WINDOWS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW BECAUSE I MAKE MY 500 PAYMENT EVERY MONTH AND DO NOT HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY NOT ONLY FOR THE PART BUT THEN FOR LABOR AND TO HAVE IT PROGRAMMED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. NOW I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR TRAILBLAZER, ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE WE ISSUE A RECALL? I SENT AN EMAIL TO GM ABOUT IT AND THEY DID CONTACT ME, WHAT THEY SAID IS TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AT AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALER (OK MORE $) THEN THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE REPORT AND IF THEY OK IT I WOULD THEN BE REIMBURSED FOR EVERYTHING (OK GOOD ONE) I JUST HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND STILL HAVE THE REPORT BUT I NEED TO GET ANOTHER ONE, COME ON PEOPLE I DON'T MAKE YOUR SALARY AND HAVE 2 KIDS TO SUPPORT! . SO I TOOK IT, WELL WHEN I TALKED TO THE GM DEALER THEY SAID JUST TO LOOK AT IT WILL BE ABOUT 100 SO I CANCELLED THE APPOINTMENT.

I NOTICED MONTHS AGO THAT THE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING ON THE POWER WINDOWS SWITCHES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE DEFINITELY NOTICED SOME ODD SMELLS (BURNING/MELTING/PLASTIC/CHEMICAL) THAT I WAS NEVER SURE WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM. BEFORE THE ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS, WHICH WAS PROBABLY AROUND THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, THE ONE TOUCH WINDOW OPENING CONTROL BUTTON (ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH ONLY ONE TOUCH INSTEAD OF HOLDING THE WINDOW BUTTON) STOPPED FUNCTIONING, THE WINDOW WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF EITHER CLOSING IT OR OPENING IT AND WHEN IT DIDN?T STALL AND CLOSING/OPENING WAS SUCCESSFUL IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY SLOW. THE WINDOW IN MY TRUCK IS NOW DEAD. IT WILL NOT OPERATE AT ALL. I WENT TO TRY TO SHUT IT MONDAY NIGHT AND IT WOULDN?T SHUT, THERE IS ABOUT 2-3 INCHES OF SPACE WHERE THE WINDOW IS DOWN. THERE IS NO POWER TO ANY OF MY WINDOW CONTROLS, OR TO MY POWER LOCKS ON THE DRIVER?S SIDE. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I CAME UPON THIS SITE WHERE OTHERS HAD LISTED VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, WHAT RECOURSE IS THERE FOR THE UNSUSPECTING CONSUMER?

I HAD A DRIVERS MASTER POWER SWITCH THAT MELTED TOO, IT HAPPENED ON MARCH 04 2012. WE GOT IN THE CAR AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING, WE DROVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPENED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR. ON MARCH 5, WE WENT OUT AGAIN BUT HAD TO PULL INTO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP, THE SMELL WAS STILL THERE. THEY PULLED THE MASTER SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE SWITCHS HAD ALL MELTED TOGETHER. HE DISCONNECTED EVERYTHING. WE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ALL THE SWITCHS. I'M WORRING ABOUT THE SMELL AND IF IT WILL GO AWAY. THIS MUST HAVE HAPPENED DURING THE NIGHT BEFORE WE GOT IN THE CAR. *TR

Summary

2007 TRAILBLAZER SS DRIVERS DOOR MODULE/WINDOW SWITCH ON MY NORMAL COMMUTE TO WORK, I HAD NOTICED A FAINT BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC THAT WOULD ONLY LINGER IN THE CABIN FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE SMELL CONTINUED FOR ALMOST A WEEK WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND THEN DISAPPEARED FOR ALMOST 4 DAYS. AFTER THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS NO LONGER THERE, ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE LIGHTS (DRIVERS, PASSENGER, REAR WINDOWS, WINDOW LOCKS, AND LOCK) WERE FLICKERING AND NOTICEABLY POWER SURGING. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY LEAD TO A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM AND IF ANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SEEMED TO BE A PRETTY POPULAR PROBLEM AMONG TRAILBLAZER OWNERS RANGING FROM 2004 AND UP. SOME RESEARCH INDICATED THAT WIRES MAY HAD BEEN BROKEN INSIDE THE INSULATION THAT GOES FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR TO THE DOOR. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DDM WAS FUNCTIONAL AND JUST NEEDED A FUSE REPLACEMENT. THAT SAME NIGHT WHEN MOVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE STREET TO MY DRIVEWAY, SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM THE TOP OF THE DOOR PANEL AND IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT PLASTIC WAS BURNING AND ON FIRE. I THEN PRIED THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE OFF AND NOTICED A DIME SIZED HOLE RIGHT UNDER WHERE THE DRIVERS WINDOW SWITCH BUTTON IS LOCATED. THAT HOLE STILL SINGING I DISCONNECTED THE DDM AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH NON-OPERATIONAL WINDOWS EVER SINCE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN REGISTERING ERRATICALLY IN 2010. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS LATER, IT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. THE CAR STALLED AND DIED AS I WAS CROSSING 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC FROM A DRIVEWAY. AS IT WAS NOT UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, CHEVY HAS NOW AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR DUE TO PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY GREATER THAN HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A COWORKER ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE HAS SINCE REPLACED THE VEHICLE DUE TO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY FATHER-IN-LAW HAS ALSO REPLACED HIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COST $800 TO REPAIR. THIS REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE A VOLUNTARY 50% COST TO GMC BUT RATHER A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT FLUCTUATES BACK AND FORTH. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. WHICH THIS CREATES A BIG PROBLEM SINCE I TRANSPORT HANDICAP PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. ALSO DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATES VERY SLOW, SOMETIMES IT HESITATES ON ROLLING UP. I HAVE TO LET IT SET FOR A WHILE, THEN TRY ROLLING IT UP AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES DOING THIS, IT HAS FINALLY ROLLED UP ALL THE WAY. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WITHOUT CONSUMER PAYING FOR ANY OF IT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE SEEM TO BE ONGOING PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY REFERENCE MY DOOR PANEL HASN'T CAUGHT FIRE YET, WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. ALSO MY SLICK, SKID CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON VERY EASILY WHEN I TAKE OFF AND STAY ON TILL I CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, AND HOPE DOESN'T COME BACK ON WHEN I START TO DRIVE. *TR

I DROVE TO GET GAS AND IT ONLY TOOK $21.00 TO FILL IT. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT, AND WHY THE MANUFACTURER IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS PRODUCT AND DO NOT FEEL THAT THE COMPANY IS LOOKING OUT FOR US.

I LEFT MY HOUSE FOR WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 0650 HRS ON FEBRUARY 19TH, 2012. UPON EXITING MY NEIGHBORHOOD'S ENTRANCE, I ACCELERATED TO 35 MPH. ABOUT 100 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD, I BEGIN TO SMELL BURNING PLASTIC AND AS I LOOKED DOWN I OBSERVED THICK SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE OPENINGS OF MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO EXCEPT STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF. EVEN WHEN OFF, THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW UNTIL I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS LATE TO WORK, SO I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE MY WAY TO WORK IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE DOME LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE GAS GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS/LOCKS WERE RENDERED INOPERATIVE. AS I PULLED INTO WORK, I GLANCED OVER AND SAW THE SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE DOOR PANEL AGAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT AS THICK AS THE FIRST TIME. THANKFULLY, MY COWORKERS WERE STANDING BY READY TO ASSIST ME AS IT HAD BEGUN TO RAIN. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE IF THE DOOR PANEL HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE. I HAVE A NEWBORN SON WHO IS APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS OLD AND THE TRAILBLAZER IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORT. IT MAKES ME ANGRY TO THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HIM BEING IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND HAVING AN EVENT SUCH AS THIS OCCUR. HOPEFULLY GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL.

IT COULD BE A BEARING I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WITHOUT TEARING IT ALL DOWN. 2ND IS THE POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS GETTING SLOWER TO COME UP AND I CAN SMELL WIRES BURNING AT TIMES (ALTHOUGH I AM NOT SURE IF THE 2 ARE RELATED) I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE "IDLER PULLEY" AT 42,000 MILES.....THIS SEEMS RIDICULOUS AS IT KEEPS TURNING OUT TO BE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER????? *TR

Summary

ON OR ABOUT 18 OCT 2011, I SMELLED A BURNT ELECTRICAL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE, I BEGAN CHECKING FOR THE SOURCE AND FOUND THAT WHEN I ADJUSTED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MIRROR, THE DRIVERS WINDOW LOWERED, AND THE SMELL GOT STRONGER, WHEN THE MIRROR ADJUSTMENT SWITCH WAS RETURNED TO THE CENTER(NEUTRAL) POSITION, THE DRIVERS WINDOW SWITCH OPERATED THE PASSENGER WINDOW. I REMOVED THE DRIVERS DOOR SWITCH MODULE, I FOUND IT TO BE THE SOURCE, AS I REPEATED THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS, I ACTUALLY SAW THE WHITE HOT ARCING TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE SWITCHES (THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS WERE NOT BURNT OR DAMAGED). I DISCONNECTED AND REMOVED THE SWITCH MODULE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHEREAS, THEY ORDERED THE NEW PART AND REPLACED IT (PARTS & LABOR $460.73 + TAX). I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WASN'T...NOW MY QUESTION IS...IS THE NEW SWITCH MODULE ALSO GOING TO ARC EVENTUALLY? AM I OUT $460.00? *TR

Summary

FIRST OCCURRENCE, DRIVER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN EARLY SUMMER 2010. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHEVY I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM AND THE WINDOW PART WAS REPLACED. FROM TIME TO TIME I WOULD SMELL BURNING BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS MY CAR, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WAS DRIVING SO I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT TO CHEVY. I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT JANUARY 2012 AND HAD TO BRING IT TO A BODY REPAIR SHOP AND THY NOTICED THE DRIVER DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS MELTED. SINCE IT'S A 2007 MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND I PAID THE BODY SHOP TO REPLACE THE PART $425. I CALLED CHEVY BECAUSE I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THESE PARTS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR CATCHING ON FIRE AND THEY SAID THAT THE NEXT TIME I SMELL BURNING OR MELTING I NEED TO BRING IT TO THEM RIGHT AWAY. *TR

Summary

#1-THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD GET AN ANSWER FOR WHY IT WOULD JUST SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING. IT WAS THERE THAT I FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $500. I ENDED UP HAVING JUST THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. CHEVROLET IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AS THEY SENT ME A PAPER SAYING THAT IF I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A CHEVY GARAGE THEY WOULD REIMBURSE 50% OF THE COSTS. TO ME HAVING BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS CHEVY SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED NOT ME! #2- DURING ROUTINE DRIVING WE ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND IT FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. I TRIED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAD NO LUCK. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I LOOKED TO SEE IF MAYBE A WIRE WAS CUT IN THE DOOR HINGE AREA, WHICH IT WASN'T, AND PUT MY FINGER ON THE SWITCH AND NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY WARM. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, LEFT THE DOOR OPENED AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL DOWN. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND STILL GETS VERY WARM WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. *TR

Summary

THE MENTIONED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THIS VEHICLE (AND FROM RESEARCH OTHER EARLIER MODELS) FAILS OR WEARS OUT PREMATURELY. THE WEAR COULD CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND CAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE AND LOW FUEL LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS OCCURS IN THE VEHICLES BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THEY HAVE SENT A LETTER OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ADVISING THE CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR FUEL IS LOW PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SCENARIO FOR THE DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES. IT CAN RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN A SPEEDWAY / HIGHWAY WHERE LIVES WOULD BE AT RISK. CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL ALL THE VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND AVOID FUTURE LAWSUITS AND OR CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR NOT ADDRESSING AN ISSUE THEY ADMIT IS A FAULT IN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

Summary

FIRST INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM WAS ERRATIC LEVEL READINGS ON THE FUEL GAUGE AS WELL AS ENGINE PROBLEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL,ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. THESE FAULTS ARE VERY DISCONCERTING AS WELL AS BEING DANGEROUS. WHAT IF A LEGITIMATE ENGINE PROBLEM DEVELOPS? WHAT IF WE MIS-CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS IN THE TANK AND WE ARE ON SOME HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC OR SOMEWHERE LATE AT NIGHT? IN MY OPINION,CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS DEFECT, THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ONE (1) DOLLAR FOR A FAULTY PART. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHEVROLET THAT I WILL EVER OWN IF THEY DO NOT DO THE RIGHT THING. I WORK WITH A LOT OF AUTO ENTHUSIASTS AND I HAVE TOLD SOME OF THEM ABOUT THIS VEHICLES' ISSUES,THEY ARE NOT IMPRESSED. *TR

Summary

I NOTICED THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY GAS GAUGE WHEN I WAS SITTING AT THE BANK DRIVE THRU AND IT DINGED AT ME THAT I NEEDED GAS. I THOUGHT IT ODD, BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD JUST FILLED UP. I WENT TO FILL UP AND IT ONLY COST $20, SO THEN I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. GAS GAUGE STAYED AT 1/2 TANK REGARDLESS OF FULL OR EMPTY, THEN GOT STUCK AT 1/4 TANK, NOW STAYS ON EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF MILES AND ALWAYS FILL UP (WHICH IS NOT EASY IF THE FUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE). I'VE SINCE RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES. LUCKILY, EITHER TIME, NEITHER OF MY 2 SMALL KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING, NOT ONLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS, BUT EVEN MORE SO HEARING THAT GM IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER 1/2 OF THE EXPENSE, IF YOU TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO AN ALREADY OVER PRICED DEALERSHIP. *KB

Summary

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR IN MY '07 TRAILBLAZER, I HAD ABOUT 1/3 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN I PARKED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF TO GO INTO A STORE. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LOW-FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO FILL THE TANK AND ONLY NEEDED ABOUT 11 GALLONS, WHICH IS WHEN I CONFIRMED THE GAUGE WAS WRONG. THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO SHOW EMPTY AND HAS EVER SINCE. I AM NOW DOING MY BEST TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL BY ESTIMATING USAGE BASED ON THE MILES DRIVEN AFTER EACH FILL-UP. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THE RECALL AND I'M OUTRAGED THAT GM IS STILL ONLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS IF DONE AT A DEALER, WHICH, BY THE WAY IS WHY I HAVEN'T HAD THIS REPAIR DONE YET. I'VE READ IN SOME CASES THERE HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED COSTS BETWEEN $700 AND $1200. SO IF GM IS ONLY GOING TO PAY HALF OF THE COST, I'M LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY $600 OR SO TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT GM HAS ADMITTED IS A PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR, AND I HOPE THAT I AM ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF MY GAS BASED ON MILEAGE SO I NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE I OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. GM SHOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND KEEP THEM COMING BACK. IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION? I KNOW THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, I KNOW GM HAS ONLY OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE COST, BUT WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THIS ADDITIONAL EXPENSE? I KNOW THERE ARE MANY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING TO EMPTY AT AROUND 50,000 MILES. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS OF THIS, FUEL GAUGE FAILED ALTOGETHER AND NOW CONSISTENTLY READS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL IN TANK, WHICH INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING 1/2 OF REPAIR COSTS WOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER DUE TO THE FACT THIS PROBLEM APPEARS SO COMMON AND WIDESPREAD, IT IS APPARENT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE TRIP ODOMETER AND MY HUSBAND HAS RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE AS THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE WAY TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. BOTH TIMES HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND ON HEAVILY TRAVELED ROADS. THIS IN ITSELF CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO MY LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE REFLECTED EMPTY DESPITE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK JUST HOURS EARLIER. SINCE THAT TIME THIS HAS KEPT HAPPENING AND SEEMS TO ALWAYS INDICATE AN EMPTY TANK DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS INCORRECT. EVIDENTLY THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON WITH MY VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM NEVER SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL THAT I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS AN APPROXIMATE $400 TOTAL REPAIR. GM STATED THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR 1/2, HOWEVER THIS IS STILL A LARGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I WILL ONLY GET THE 1/2 OFF AS LONG AS I BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. GM SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A 100% TOTAL RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT SINCE ITS SO WIDESPREAD. I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. THE TRANSMISSION MESSED UP ORIGINALLY AND NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE INDICATOR. THIS RECENT PROBLEM STARTED LAST YEAR 2010. THE LEVELS WERE READING INACCURATELY AT THAT TIME AND SEEMED TO HAVE REPAIRED ITSELF. THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, THE INDICATORS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRUCK AND I AM PARANOID AND CONSTANTLY GOING TO THE STORE TO ADD MORE GAS. I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MAJORITY OF CHEVY VEHICLES AND GM ACTUALLY KNOWS THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST AND HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP THE MILLIONS OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THESE CARS. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS ALL SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW; SO I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER. IS THERE ANY HELP FOR THE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED GM VEHICLES. I COULD SEE IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH ONE LINE OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM BUT THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS OF TIMES BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE THAT GM CAN SCAM MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS AND NOT FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

CHEVY VEHICLES HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) ON ALL VEHICLE TYPES. THE FAILURE OCCURS AT THE WHEEL ITSELF. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE, IT HAS TURNED INTO A USELESS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WHICH NO OWNER CAN AFFORD TO KEEP UP WITH . WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM AT THE WHEEL IS VERY SENSITIVE AND FAILS QUICKLY. THE AMOUNT OF REPAIR FOR ONE UNIT COSTS APPROXIMATELY $200, AND THAT IS FOR ONE WHEEL. CHEVY SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES, THAT HAVE THE TPMS SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO ONE VEHICLE, IF YOU DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON TPMS AND CHEVY OR GM YOU'LL FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER I HAD THE FIRST ONE REPLACED THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDN'T BOTHER BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY FAIL AGAIN. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT HE WISHES THAT CHEVY WOULD INSTALL A BETTER SYSTEM, BECAUSE IT WILL ADVISE YOU THAT YOUR TPMS IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND AFTER IT FAILS, DRIVERS WILL IGNORE THE MESSAGE, WHICH IS A LARGER SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE DOT WOULD ALLOW GM TO CONTINUE TO USE FAULTY PARTS WHICH IS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM. THE CONSUMER SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES, AND HOPEFULLY A PERSON DOESN'T LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE ACTION BY THE DOT. I HOPE TO SEE A RECALL ISSUED SOON. *TR

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING AND CONSTANTLY READ "EMPTY." THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND THIS PUT ME AT RISK BOTH ME AND MY FAMILY. NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE POTENTIALLY PUT ME AT RISK IF I RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR WHILE ON A TRIP. IN THE EXTREME HEAT IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO HAVE TO WALK TO GET GAS. THE RISK OF BEING STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME OR ON A HIGHWAY PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER. THE FAILURE OF THE GAS GAUGE AND FUEL DETECTION UNIT OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2010, WHICH I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET FIXED UNTIL RECENTLY, FEB. 2011. TO FIX THE PROBLEM COST ME A MORTGAGE PAYMENT, AND PUT ME BEHIND ONE MONTH. THE FACT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES MAKES IT APPARENT THAT THE FUEL DETECTION SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND FIXING IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHEVROLET. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CHEVY TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE UNIT TO MAINTAIN CONSUMER LOYALTY TO THE CHEVY BRAND. IN THE EVENT I DON'T GET REIMBURSED, I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY OR GM VEHICLES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'LL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS, AND DO WHAT I CAN TO SWAY THEM NOT TO BUY A TRAILBLAZER DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND THE FACT THAT CHEVROLET WON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *KB

Summary

AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS, THE FUEL LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND DINGING WITH THE GAUGE DROPPING TO THE EMPTY LEVEL. I CALLED A SERVICE CENTER IN VICTORIA TO INQUIRE AS TO WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE CENTER CALLED ME BACK TELLING ME MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE VISIT AND IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $140 JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. I THEN MADE SOME CALLS TO SEVERAL AUTO PARTS STORES TO INQUIRE THE SAME AND LOOKED UP ONLINE ANY RECALLS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DONE IN RE TO THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY OWN. THERE IS A SMELL OF GAS AT TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE FROM EMPTY TO FULL, ETC. I AM A HOME HEALTH NURSE AND AM ON THE ROAD CONSTANTLY. THE CAR IS ALSO USING MORE GAS THAN USUAL AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH I ACTUALLY HAVE IN THE TANK. THE SMELL OF GAS IS NAUSEATING AND CAUSES HEADACHES. THE IDEA OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A SECLUDED AREA IS FRIGHTENING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START AS FAR AS PARTS BECAUSE TECHNICIANS HAVE TOLD ME IT COULD BE MULTIPLE THINGS I FEEL LIKE GMS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. AFTER GOING ON LINE I NOTICED NUMEROUS CONSUMERS WITHTHE SAME COMPLAINTS AND NO RESOLUTION. THE ENGINE ALSO HAD BEEN ON. *TR

Summary

MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL INDICATION (GAUGE) SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING, IT JUST STARTED DOING THIS 2 WEEKS AGO. AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION AND DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THE FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, AND THE LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND REMAINS THIS WAY SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING IT WILL MOMENTARILY GIVE A FUEL INDICATION BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS IS ACCURATE, THEN THE NEEDLE GOES DOWN TO EMPTY AND THE LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVERYDAY I GET IN THE VEHICLE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN IT, I KEEP AN EYE ON HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AS A BEST GUESS AS TO HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. IF I RUN OUT OF GAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN WASHINGTON DC THEN IT WILL CREATE TRAFFIC BACKUPS/HAZARDS. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN MY 96 SILVERADO, AND 2001 BLAZER, SO THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

I THAN REFERRED TO THE OWNERS MANUAL AND LOCATED THE FUSE BOX AND THE FUSE, WHICH WAS BURNED OUT, THIS MAY HAVE STOPPED THE FIRE OR SHORT. THERE IS NO EXPLAINED REASON WAY THIS PANEL SHORTED OUT AND STARTED A POTENTIAL FIRE. I HAVE NOT CONSULTED THE CHEVY DEALER OR GM YET.

ON OCTOBER 15, 2010 THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ABRUPTLY WENT TO EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK FOR A 6 HOUR LONG TRIP. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE GAUGE READ EMPTY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. FORTUNATELY I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WAS COVERED. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 31,350 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. EVER SINCE THE REPAIR, THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT GIVING AN ACCURATE READING. I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE GAUGE COULD BE AS MUCH AS A 1/4 TANK DIFFERENT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE GAUGE WOULD READ 3/4 FULL WHEN I PARK AT MY OFFICE. WHEN I LEAVE FOR LUNCH THE GAUGE WILL DISPLAY 1/2 FULL. *TR

I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED CLOSED TO $100.00 JUST TO TELL WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE PROBLEM THEN IF IT WAS WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER $600.00 TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE REPAIR PLACE IT COST $0.00 TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM AND IT COST ME $418.80 TO FIX IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT REGISTERING THE AMOUNT OF GAS I HAD. THEY HAD TO TAKE THE GAS TANK APART AND REPLACE THAT PLUS THE FUEL PUMP (AS NOW THESE 2 ITEMS ARE BUILT INTO 1). *TR

Summary

MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO MOVE SPORADICALLY. WHEN MY FUEL TANK WAS FULL IT WOULD REGISTER AS EMPTY OR IF I WAS LOW ON GAS IT WOULD REGISTER AS FULL, OR HALF A TANK. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. I HAD ONE INCIDENT, BECAUSE OF THE GAUGE WORKING INCORRECTLY IN WHICH I DID RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS FORCED TO EXIT. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO MAKE IT UP THE OFF RAMP SAFELY WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND IT WAS EARLY MORNING SO TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW AND EASY EXIT. HOWEVER, I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE TO BRING ME GASOLINE TO REFUEL AND MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. I HAVE BEEN USING MY TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK MY MILEAGE AND REFUEL ACCORDINGLY. I DID CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE; THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL. THEY DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT THIS SITE OR HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THAT WITH PARTS (FUEL SENSOR) AND LABOR IT WOULD BE A $400 REPAIR AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS COMMON. I HAD NO GUARANTEE THE NEW PART WOULD WORK ANY BETTER, AND AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, FOUND THAT THIS PART FAILS COMMONLY AFTER 50K MILES. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND $400 EVERY 50,000 MILES, FOR A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

I FILLED THE TANK AND THE GAUGE NOW READS EMPTY WITH THE YELLOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ILLUMINATED. DUE TO ITS INACCURATE READINGS, I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PUSH IT ONTO A SHOULDER PUTTING MYSELF IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS POSITION ALONG WITH MY WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO FIX. IN RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS PUTTING THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER AS WELL.

Summary

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL THE GAGE STAYS ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER DRIVING 30 TO 50 MILES THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE FUEL GAGE WORKS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL UP AND THE SAME FAILURE REPEATS ITSELF. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS OR RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT TRUST THE GAGE AND HAVE GOTTEN IN THE HABIT OF FILLING UP WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL GETS DOWN TO ONE HALF TANK. *TR

Summary

AT 58,000 MILES THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, SO I TOOK INTO MY AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER. THEY CHARGED ME $95.00 DOLLARS AND SAID THAT IT WAS A DIRTY THROTTLE PLATE. A NOTE ON MY RECEIPT SAID THAT A FAULTY GAS GAUGE COULD CAUSE THE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE GAGE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN FULL TO EMPTY FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE TO USE MY TRIP ODOMETER SET TO 300 MILES TO ESTIMATE WHEN I HAVE TO FILL UP WITH GAS AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IF IT IS THE GAS GAUGE OR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. IT CAN BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR A LONG TRIP. I DID COMPLAIN TO GM ON CASE #[XXX], BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

Summary

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. FILLING THE FUEL TANK TURNS THE LOW FUEL NOTIFICATION LIGHT AND CHIME OFF FOR ABOUT 50 MILES, THEN THE GAUGE GOES TO "E" AND THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME SOUNDS UNTIL THE TANK IS FILLED AGAIN AND THE PROCESS REPEATS ITSELF. I CURRENTLY USE MY TRIP ODOMETER TO MONITOR THE FUEL LEVEL BUT MY HUSBAND HAS FORGOTTEN TO RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER AND RAN OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A 60 MPH FREEWAY IS QUITE DANGEROUS AND MAYBE MORE SO THAN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON A MOUNTAIN PASS, WHERE IT COULD BE MILES AND HOURS BEFORE HELP ARRIVES. CHEVROLET'S "WEAR & TEAR" EXCUSE IS NONSENSE FOR A POORLY MADE PART. I HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT A DEALERSHIP AND CHEVROLET SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE ME IN EXCESS OF $1000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM! *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, FOR THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SUV WANTING TO STALL. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP/GAUGES REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO BECAUSE MY FUEL GAUGE DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS READ BY A PORTION OF THE ACTUAL FUEL PUMP THAT IS INSIDE MY FUEL TANK. THAT COST ME MORE THAN $600 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET SINCE THEY HAD TO REMOVE MY FUEL TANK TO REPLACE IT. MY FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN WORKING FAIRLY NORMAL UP UNTIL YESTERDAY, ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 6:15AM MY VEHICLE STALLED IN THE DRIVING LANE OF A 2 LANE FRONTAGE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF GAS. THANKFULLY, THE ROAD WAS NOT EXTREMELY BUSY AT THAT TIME OF MORNING. HOWEVER, MY FUEL GAUGE STILL SHOWED THAT I HAD ALMOST 1/2 TANK, WHEN IN FACT MY CAR STALLED BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF GAS. I HOPE THAT SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION CAN BE AGREED UPON WITH GM TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED SO THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS ISSUES WITH THE GAS GAUGE READING. MY GAS GAUGE ALL OF SUDDEN STOPPED REGISTERING THE AMOUNT OF FULL IN THE TANK AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. IT WOULD SHOW EMPTY WHEN I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP FULL. NOW MY GAS GAUGE ALWAYS SHOWS EMPTY AND THIS IN TURN ALSO MAKES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO FILL UP EVERY 300 MILES JUST TO MAKE SURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. WHEN I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE TANK BUT GM HADN'T RECALLED IT. I SEARCHED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR TRAILBLAZER. MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED IT BECAUSE IT WAS OVER $700. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2005-2007 TRAILBLAZERS THAT GM WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I KNOW THERE ARE FAR MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVEN'T COMPLAINED. *TR

TO THIS DAY, IT NEVER READS ANYTHING OTHER THAN EMPTY, WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON AND THE INITIAL WARNING ON THE DASH STATING THAT THE FUEL IS LOW. NO CHANGES TO THE CAR'S NORMAL USAGE WERE MADE. THE FAILURE HAS NEVER CORRECTED. I HAVE NOT HAD THE FUEL GAUGE REPAIRED OR REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS A COSTLY FIX, AND I CAN DO THE MATH TO KNOW WHEN I NEED TO FILL UP BASED ON MILEAGE. *TR

Summary

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY USED SUV I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE JUMPING AROUND. SOMETIMES IT WOULD READ APPROPRIATE (GUESSING NOW) AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T MOVE OFF 'E'. THE GAUGE JUMPED AROUND FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THEN JUST QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO START KEEPING TRACK OF MY MILEAGE ON PAPER SO I COULD GUESSTIMATE WHEN TO PUT GAS IN. I GOT A QUOTE ON FIXING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME BETWEEN $400-$800 TO FIX. I CALLED THE DEALER I BOUGHT SUV FROM AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME FLAT OUT 'NO'. THEY TOLD ME I COULD BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT FIXED AND PAY FOR IT BUT THEY WOULDN'T STAND BEHIND IT. I WAS ON MY OWN. SINCE I COULDN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED I HAD TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY FOR MONTHS, ALWAYS WRITING DOWN MILEAGE AND GAS FILL-UPS. I FINALLY HAD THIS REPAIRED ON 1/11/11 - IT COST ME $379.83 TO GET IT FIXED. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD'VE BEEN RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS PLACES ABOUT THE '07 TRAILBLAZERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, ALONG WITH CONFIRMATION FROM THE GARAGE THAT "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE '07 TRAILBLAZER". THE DEALER I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM WOULDN'T RETURN MY PHONE CALLS OR INQUIRIES ABOUT HOW TO REPORT THE PROBLEM OR ANYTHING, THEY JUST SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS AND DIDN'T CARE AND I HAD ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS...

EVENTUALLY, THE GAUGE COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING AND SITS ON EMPTY ALL OF THE TIME. AS A RESULT OF THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE/DEFECT, MY VEHICLE DIED ONCE BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW I WAS OUT OF FUEL. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD JUST GONE OUT OF WARRANTY (50,000 MILES), IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE DEALER AND I COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE GAUGE, OR FUEL SENSOR, WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE NUMBER OF MILES I PUT ON THE VEHICLE PER FILL UP.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL AND /OR COMPUTER PROBLEMS. THE FIRST SET OF TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE WORN OUT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WOULD SAY THEY HAD LOW PRESSURE, SO WE WOULD FILL THEM AND CHECK THEM WITH THE ONBOARD TIRE PRESSURE, OTHERWISE IT WOULD CONTINUE TO SAY THE TIRES WERE LOW. THE GAS GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND BACK AT LEAST 10 TIMES A DAY, THEY SAY AT THE SERVICE DEPT IT'S THE FUEL SENDING SWITCH. SERVICE STABILITRAC WARNING COMES ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. I THINK ALL WARNINGS (LIGHTS AND THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN) HAVE COME ON AT LEAST ONE TIME, SOME WE HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND LOOK UP WHAT THE LIGHT WAS IN THE BOOK. NOW THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS SOMETHING WRONG, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY IS REMOVED. THEN THE CAR WON'T START UNLESS YOU WORK THE KEY AND THE SWITCH. TODAY IT STARTED AND THEN QUIT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE KEY AND IT GOES TO THE RUN POSITION. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY ON, THERE IS WEIRD NOISE LIKE ELECTRICAL SHORT OR SOMETHING. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH WINDOW SWITCHES AND REGULATORS.

I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. I THINK THAT THIS IS KINDA LIKE A LEMON LAW THING.

THIS SHOULD BE COVERED OR FIXED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE..... **** THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS REALLY UNKNOWN.. I DO NOT REMEMBER BECAUSE IT STARTED NOT WORKING WHEN MY MOTHER IN LAW HAD IT. BUT IT STOPPED WORKING WHEN SHE HAD CAR AN I GOT IT IN MARCH OF 2010.

MY 2007 GM TRAIL BLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO SHOW AN EMPTY TANK WHEN I WOULD FILL IT UP, AND THEN WHEN I WOULD DRIVE FOR A WHILE, IT WOULD REGISTER FULL. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND GOING OFF AT RANDOM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROX. $800.00. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT, SO I STARTED INQUIRING ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDING UNIT. EVENTUALLY I FOUND A WEB SITE WHERE I COULD PURCHASE THE SENDING UNIT FOR APPROX. HALF THE RETAIL PRICE. I ORDERED THE SENDING UNIT, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE GAUGE NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY OR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. IF THIS INVESTIGATION BECOMES A RECALL, SINCE I HAVE ALREADY MADE THE REPAIRS, CAN I BE REIMBURSED? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE WHEN YOUR DECISION IS MADE. THANK YOU. *TR

I CALLED COX THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WONT FIX IT FOR FREE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS AND THERE SHOULD BE. THERE IS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONCE IN THE FAST LANE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AND I RAN OUT OF GAS AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY 2 CARS BEHIND ME. I GOT STRANDED FOR 2 1/2 HOURS TILL I GOT SOMEONE TO BRING ME GAS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

Summary

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER RUNS OUT OF GAS WHEN GAUGE SAYS FULL, HAVE RUN OUT AT 70 MPH WITHOUT NOTICE ON HIGHWAY. HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT IS WORKING OR NOT WILL SHOW FULL ONE MINUTE THEN EMPTY THE NEXT. REPAIR IS COSTLY AND HAVE RESULTED TO RESETTING TRIP METER, HOWEVER IF I FORGET OR SIT IN TRAFFIC MORE THAN USUAL IT IS NOT ACCURATE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS MORE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THAN MY WHOLE LIFE. VERY UNSETTLING TO BE STRANDED NOT TO MENTION UNSAFE TO BE IN CAR NOT KNOWING WHEN GOING TO JUST STOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THERE ARE MANY MANY 2005 - 2007 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ON NUMEROUS CHAT AND COMPLAINT BOARDS, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL. I ONLY HAVE 65,000 MILES THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND NOT SAFE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

FUEL SENDER FAILS RESULTING IN FALSE REPORT BY FUEL GAUGE AS EMPTY TANK. INCIDENCES STARTED IN DECEMBER 2010, 4 MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE PURCHASE, APPROXIMATELY 17,800 MILES DRIVEN ON VEHICLE, 5,000 BY SECOND OWNER. ENDANGERS DRIVER BY POSSIBILITY OF BECOMING STRANDED BY RUNNING OUT OF GAS. REPAIR, NOT COVERED BY MANUFACTURER, IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE, $500+, DUE TO POSSIBLE NEED TO REPLACE MORE THAN JUST SENSOR. INCIDENTS OCCUR DAILY, AS GAUGE SOMETIMES RESETS ON START UP, THEN FAILS WHILE DRIVING, AND SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER START UP. WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECT OF FUEL SYSTEM ONLINE AND BY REPAIR SHOPS, CLAIMS OF NO RESPONSIBILITY OF DEFECT BY CHEVROLET/GM. *TR

Summary

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECEIVING ALL PREVENTIVE AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO (FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2011) AND HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THE GAUGE WILL INDICATE PROPER LEVEL WHEN KEY IS TURNED ON BUT WILL DROP TO ZERO WITH LOW LEVEL LIGHT STAYING ON ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED EVEN IF THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO ALLOW MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO USE THIS VEHICLE AS HER PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL AND WORK. ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHERE BEING STUCK ON THE SIDE OF ROAD IN THE COUNTRY CAN BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ESTIMATE AND THE REPAIR WILL REACH BETWEEN $600-900 SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND FROM TALKING TO PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS AND INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN TO BE THE USE OF SUBSTANDARD PARTS IN THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS IN THE FUEL TANK. EVEN IF MY LIMITED RESEARCH IS NOT CONCLUSIVE, THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WHERE THIS OCCURS SEEMS TO WARRANT A RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AT THE END OF 2007. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SERVICE ISSUES WITH THE CAR, MOST NOTABLY A FAULTY FRONT AXLE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN JANUARY 2009, MY SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT PUT MY CAR INTO 4WD. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND RETURNED MY CAR TO ME. A WEEK LATER, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN THE SNOW IN 4WD, GETTING READY TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO KEPT MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND AGAIN COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY RETURNED MY CAR TO ME AND SAID "YOU PROBABLY GOT SNOW IN YOUR MUFFLER". I DROVE MY CAR IN 4WD PERIODICALLY FOR THE NEXT 19 MONTHS TRUSTING THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE. WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE END OF NOV 2010, I TOOK MY CAR TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME I HAD A BAD FRONT AXLE AND 5 BAD GEARS THAT WERE BINDING, AND THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR IN 4WD UNTIL THIS WAS REPAIRED. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE AN O2 SENSOR REPLACED, SEVERAL BODY SYSTEM REPAIRS, AND YESTERDAY MY SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL I RESTARTED THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED CHEVY TO BUY BACK MY CAR, AS IT IS CLEAR I HAVE A POORLY MANUFACTURED AND UNSAFE VEHICLE, AND THEY HAVE ONLY OFFERED TO COVER MY BODY SYSTEMS PARTS UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR AND I DON' T KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP. *TR

Summary

UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON THE VEHICLE, THE GAS GAGE DROPPED TO "EMPTY". THE GAS GAGE THEN WENT TO HALF AND RETURNED TO EMPTY SEVERAL TIMES. THE GAS GAGE FINALLY RETURNED TO FULL, THE CORRECT LEVEL. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, WHILE TRAVELING OVER A NARROW TWO-LANE BRIDGE, I WAS STARTLED BY THE SOUND OF A WARNING CHIME. WHILE TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE WARNING I WAS DISTRACTED AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION ON THE BRIDGE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE GAS LEVEL HAD RETURNED TO THE EMPTY LEVEL EVEN THOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT SUBSEQUENTLY CAME ON. I DID SOME ON-LINE RESEARCH (GOOGLE "TRAILBLAZER FUEL DEFECTS") AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS FROM TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WHO HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEAR OF VEHICLE RANGES FROM 2003 TO 2008. MANY OF THESE OWNERS STATE THAT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE GAS GAGE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE IN MOTION THEREBY ENDANGERING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. *TR

2007 TRAILBLAZER FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES MY FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE INCORRECT READING. I WOULD FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO TO 1/4 TANK OR EMPTY AT TIMES AND THEN BACK TO FULL. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND AT 65,000 MILES THIS ISSUE STARTED. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AT 60,000. I RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE BECAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL DISPLAY SHOWED THAT I HAD 1/4 TANK WHEN I WAS ON EMPTY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN THE SENSOR AND IT HAS TO BE REPLACED, BUT SINCE MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IT WOULD COST OVER $600.00. I KNOW OF 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SENSOR FAILURE AND AFTER READING REVIEWS ONLINE I BELIEVE CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS SENSOR. *TR

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, GAS GAUGE RISES TO ACTUAL GAS LEVEL. AFTER 3-4 MINUTES OF DRIVING, GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, AND REMAINS UNTIL TRUCK IS RESTARTED. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WILL RISE TO ONE-HALF TANK, AND STAY AS WELL. ON ONE OCCASION, I WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND MY WIFE. THE GAUGE WAS STUCK A HALF TANK, BUT I WAS ACTUALLY OUT OF GAS. 4 HOURS LATER I WAS BACK HOME. ON SOME LEVEL I THINK THAT CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FUEL-SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE TANK, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE BETWEEN $600-$900 TO REPLACE. RIDICULOUS!!! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES TO THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY TRAIL BLAZER. IT IS TIME FOR GM TO ALLOW THESE TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS MAY NOT QUALIFY AS A SAFETY RECALL, BUT SURELY A DEFECT THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS!!! *TR

AN INQUIRY ON THE INTERNET REVEALS A LARGE QUANTITY OF TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAD 49,000 MILES AND SOME CHANGE WITH THIS FIRST OCCURRED. CAN YOU IMAGINE RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A RURAL AREA WITH OR WITHOUT KIDS WITH NO HELP IN SITE, OR EVEN WORSE IN A URBAN HIGH CRIME AREA PASSING THROUGH. GM HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM DESPITE THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM. I FOUND THE AVERAGE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS REPAIR IS RATHER COSTLY REQUIRING THE GAS TANK TO BE REMOVED. AT THIS POINT I AM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY MILEAGE, FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

Summary

THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE NOT OPERATING ACCURATELY AND THE NEED FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED ON SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT ARE RELATIVELY NEW. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE NUISANCE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART IN ANY CAR. I NOW HAVE A 2007 TRAILBLAZER AND HAD TO SPEND ALMOST $600 ON THIS PART. I AM CURIOUS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

Summary

2WD 2007 TRAILBLAZER SUPER SPORT GOES WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AFTER START UP AND SELECTING REVERSE. THIS IS WITH FOOT ON BRAKE TO SHIFT AND NO THROTTLE APPLIED OR TOUCHED SINCE START UP. VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT. ENGINE WENT FULL THROTTLE AND SMOKED REAR WHEELS JUST AFTER SELECTING REVERSE. THIS DRAGGED THE FRONT WHEELS BACKWARDS A SHORT DISTANCE WITH THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP. SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL HAD THE ENGINE GO OVER THE 6500 RPM REDLINE IGNORING ALL PCM PROGRAMMED REV LIMITERS. (REV LIMITERS: 4000 RPM IN NEUTRAL AND 6500 RPM IN GEAR.) DEALER FOUND DTC U1017 LOSS OF SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS FOR CLASS 2 DEVICES. I KNOW OF 4 OTHER 2007 TRAILBLAZER SUPER SPORT THAT HAVE RANDOMLY GONE WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM SINCE COMPLAINT NUMBER : 10269455 THROTTLE HANG UP - NOT ALWAYS RETURNING TO IDLE POWER. *TR

Summary

VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. FIRST THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THEN THE TIRE LIGHT. LIGHTS WOULD EITHER COME ON AND STAY ON OR BLINK, THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OFF OR WOULD CLEAR WHEN TRAILBLAZER STARTED. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PATCH FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT WAS CORRECTED, THE NEXT WEEK THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THAT I WAS STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LIGHTS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST 400.00 TO FIX. (THE AUTO WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) I ASKED DEALER WHY THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAN FIND SOMETHING NOW. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. SMELLS FISHY TO ME. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I AM NOT CERTAIN IF IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE "COMPUTER CHIP" OR THERE IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, I CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, TRACTION CONTROL OR ENGINE. *TR

GAS GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK - DID NOT GIVE ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN VEHICLE EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND WOULD DING AS IF EMPTY. TOOK CAR INTO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP & IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. GAS TANK HAD TO BE "PULLED" AND SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. WOULD HAVE COST ME $800, BUT LUCKILY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH A 2007 TRAILBLAZER - IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

I READ ABOUT: GM RECALLING 1.4 MILLION VEHICLES FOR FIRE HAZARD BY PETER VALDES-DAPENA, SENIOR WRITERJUNE 9, 2010: 10:03 AM ET. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON MAY 17, 2010, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED AAA. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER, MY 3 YEAR OLD CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAD FLAMES START SHOOTING OUT OF THE HOOD. IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES SOON THEREAFTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS STEAM, SO IF A NJ FIREFIGHTER HAD NOT GRABBED ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I AM NOT QUITE SURE HOW THIS STORY WOULD HAVE ENDED... *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 15K IN JUNE 2008 FORM BOB BELL CHEVROLET EASTERN AVE. BALTIMORE, MD. THIS VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AND ASSURED TO BE A GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE WHICH WAS RECONDITIONED AND 117 POINT INSPECTED UNDER GM CERTIFIED USED PROGRAM. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE UNDERWENT THIS INSPECTION AS THE DEALER REPRESENTED BECAUSE A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAD BRAKE FAILURE AND TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION THAT THE DEALER REPAIRED AND ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS, ON TOP OF THAT, THE OIL WASN'T CHANGED OR AIR FILTER WHICH WAS AS BLACK AS THE STREET WHEN IT WAS CHANGED OUT. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I'M HAVING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND WAS ADVISED THAT A NOISE I WAS HEARING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP WAS MY STRUTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER PURCHASED AND ADVISED MY VEHICLE WHICH IS NOW AT 47K IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THE REPAIRS NEEDED AND I WAS GOING TO NEED TO PAY ALMOST $2000. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVEN'T HAD THIS VEHICLE THAT LONG AND MY DAD OWNS THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE WITH ZERO PROBLEMS, I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY AS GOOD AS NEW WITH THESE ISSUES. THE DEALER HASN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME AND I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE AVOIDING MY PROBLEM WHICH I BELIEVE WAS THEIR FAULT AND SHOULD BE FIXED BECAUSE THEY REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AND THIS VEHICLE TO ME AS SUCH AND THAT WAS UNDER THE CONDITION OF MY PURCHASE, CAN YOU OFFER ME ANY HELP OR ADVICE??? *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS, THE GAS GAUGE AT 52,000 MILES BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE FROM E TO F. THIS DOES NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE READING. I UNDERSTAND THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A PRESSING SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT CAN LEAD TO STRANDED MOTORIST WHICH CAN BE SAFETY RELATED. IT NOW OCCURS EVERY DAY. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE PART YET BUT READING VARIOUS FORUMS ONLINE STATE IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT RANGES FROM A 600.00 TO 800.00 PROCEDURE. I ALSO LOOKED AT THE COMPLAINT RESULTS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS ON THIS YEAR MODEL ALONE VEHICLE AND THE NTSA HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. I AM POSITIVE IF YOU RESEARCHED EVERY YEAR MODEL OF THE TRAILBLAZER YOU WILL FIND A TREND. PLEASE DO THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKE SURE GENERAL MOTORS RECTIFIES THE SITUATION.

Summary

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER LOST POWER DURING ACCELERATION. ON JANUARY 22 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT TOOK THEM 4 DAYS FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACT UP SO THEY COULD GET A CODE. THEY REPLACED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. ON MARCH 3, 2010 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, WHILE MY WIFE WAS CROSSING A STREET. THE RPMS WENT FROM 2000 OR SO DOWN TO 5-600 WHILE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED IN TO DEALER AND GOT A LOANER CAR UNDER TERMS OF MY WARRANTY. IT IS NOW DAY 6 AND THEY CANNOT GET IT TO ACT UP AGAIN. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE AND GOT A CASE # 71-810026931, BUT I AM BEING TOLD BEFORE THEY SEND A TECHNICIAN THAT CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM I MUST TAKE IT TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP AT MY COST AS WELL AS PAYING FOR TOWING AND LONER CAR FOR THE FIRST DEALERSHIP TO RELEASE THE TRUCK. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT MESSES UP THEN GOTO THE DEALER TO GET CODE. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WHAT HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY IF IT ACTS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN WITH TRAFFIC COMING. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT THE COMPUTER ISN'T RECOGNIZING. AND BECAUSE OF THAT MY FAMILY HAS TO BE THE GUINEA PIGS BEFORE GM WILL SEND A TECHNICIAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SEEN THE PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP SEEN THE PROBLEM AND THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT. WHAT THEY DID WAS PUT A BANDAID ON A CUT THAT REQUIRES STITCHES. I HAVE TO PUT MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY AND THAT OF WHOEVER HITS ME SO GM CAN SAVE MONEY AND NOT SEND THE TECHNICIAN. THE SAME PROBLEM IN JUST OVER A MONTH, FROM LOSING POWER TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVING PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING IT SHOULD SEND UP A RED FLAG THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG AND LIVES ARE IN DANGER. BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CONCERN EXCEPT FROM ME. SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A TRUCK THAT IM AFRAID TO DRIVE SO GM DOESN'T LOSE MONEY SENDING OUT A TECHNICIAN WHEN THEY SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH A TRUCK THAT COULD COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. *TR

AT 7:55 A.M. ON THE MORNING OF 12/10/09 IN ST. PAUL, MN, I WENT OUT TO MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (APPROX. 18,000 MILES) AND OPENED THE REAR HATCH (THE ENTIRE DOOR, NOT JUST THE DOOR GLASS) TO REMOVE A SNOW BRUSH. THE TEMPERATURE WAS -5F AND THE WINDCHILL WAS REPORTED AT -20F. AFTER REMOVING THE BRUSH, I BEGAN TO CLOSE THE HATCH WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE GLASS BREAKING. AS THE HATCH LATCHED CLOSED, I NOTICED BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE AND THE TWO WINDOW STRUTS WERE BROKEN AWAY FROM THE GLASS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW WAS BROKEN. IT WAS "SPIDER-WEBBED" AND PIECES OF GLASS WERE SLOWLY SEPARATING ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. LATER THAT DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY CHEVROLET DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN WINDOW STRUT RODS LOCK UP IN AN EXTENDED POSITION. THEY SAID THAT IF THEY LOCK, IT'S LIKELY TO OCCUR IN THE COLLAPSED POSITION. BUT ONE OF THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE THE STRUT RODS LOCKED UP IN THE EXTENDED POSITION, BUT HE SAID IT WOULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THE GLASS TO BREAK. I ASKED WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND NOBODY HAD AN ANSWER FOR ME. I HAD THE GLASS AND STRUTS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1,100. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND SEVERAL TESTIMONIALS BY PEOPLE WHO HAD VERY SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAPPEN TO THEM (I.E REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERING) INVOLVING GMC ENVOYS, CHEVY TAHOES AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. SO WHILE THIS MAY BE A RARE INCIDENT, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A ONE-OF-A-KIND INCIDENT. SO HOW MANY MORE TIMES CAN I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME IF CHEVY IS SAYING IT'S NOT A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT? IF IT WAS CAUSED BY THE COLD WEATHER, IT'S ONLY DECEMBER AND THE WORST TEMPERATURES IN MINNESOTA ARE STILL TWO MONTHS AWAY. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO BE LOOKED AT AND DISCOVERED MY BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED! I WAS QUITE SHOCKED AS AGAIN, I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE 1 YEAR. I AM IN HOPES THAT WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE IS ENOUGH TO DRIVE CHEVY TO A RECALL. I FOUND THIS SITE THROUGH MY INSR.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHTSTARTED COMING ON, THEN THE STABIL-TRAX AND THE ENGINE DECELERATION LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. WHEN THIS STARTED, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN EVERY TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON.AT FIRST IT WAS AT INTERVALS OF 40 TO 140 MILES. WHENEVER THE ENGINE FIRST STARTED THIS, YOU COULD SHUT THE IGNITION OFF FOR 1-2 MIN. , THEN THE VEHICLE COULD BE STARTED AND DRIVEN UNTIL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. DOTSON CHEVROLET, IN BIG SONNE GAP, VA. ( WHERE WE BOUGHT VEHICLE), HAS HAD THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON FOR 6 WEEKS. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SENDING UNIT IN THE FUEL TANK, AND THE PCM MODULE ON THE ENGINE SO FAR. AS OF TODAY, 10-19-09 THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHUTTING DOWN AT 8-10 MILES. THEY SAY THEY ARE STILL CHECKING , BUT NOW THEY ARE THINKING THE PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE WIRING. SO FAR, WE HAVE LUCKILY BEEN DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON THE INTERSTATE OF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC , IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAYS THE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT GM WOULD HAVE TECH PEOPLE, OF ENGINEERS THAT WOULD KNOW WHY THE CODES AND LIGHTS DON'T CORRESPOND WHEN THIS OCCURS, OR WOULD HAVE SOME IDEA WHAT MIGHT CAUSE SUCH A PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE THE THROTTLE HANGS UP AROUND 2000 RPM IN ALL GEARS AFTER BEING ON THE THROTTLE AND THEN IMMEDIATELY NEEDING TO SLOW DOWN FOR ANY REASON. THIS IS A TRAILBLAZER SUPER SPORT EQUIPPED WITH THE 395 HP 400 FT LB ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER. I HAVE SUED GM FOR THIS BEING A LEMON AND WAS PAID OFF. YET NO FIX. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM SAYS BECAUSE OTHERS DO IT THE VEHICLE IS ACTING AS DESIGNED. PER GEORGE VALEZ GM LEGAL OFFICE . GM SERVICE REQUEST # 71-661522934 "HIGH IDLE" I HAVE LOGS WHERE THE ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE FROM 9 MPH TO 11 MPH FOR 11 SECONDS OF A TBSS WILD RIDE WITH NO THROTTLE. I START BY DOWNSHIFTING IT IN MANUAL 1ST WHILE SLOWING DOWN. (BRAKES REQUIRED TO SLOW FROM 2K HANG UP RPM ON DOWN.) WHEN THE ENGINE IS SLOWING DOWN THERE IS A BUMP AT ~2000 RPM WHERE THE ENGINE SPEED RAISES ABOVE THE INPUT SHAFT SPEED OF THE TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO THIS IT WAS TURNING SLOWER AND COMPRESSION BRAKING. TIME HERE IS 0 OF THE 11 SECONDS. I HIT THE BRAKES AT 14 MPH TO PULL THE SPEED DOWN FROM 2K RPM AND LET OFF AT 9MPH 3 SECONDS LATER. STARTING AT 1381 RPM FOR THE LOWEST ENGINE RPM, TRANS INPUT SHAFT 50 RPM SLOWER THEN THE ENGINE INDICATING ACCELERATION. AC CLUTCH JUST HAPPENS TO KICK IN HERE. "HERE WE GO!" I SAY. THE NEXT 8 SECONDS WE HAVE THE ENGINE HITS 1650 RPM AND HUNTS AROUND THIS RPM +- 75 RPM WHILE WE HIT 11 MPH. AT 8.4 SECONDS THE ENGINE CUTS BACK TO 1468 RPM. THIS IS WHEN THE TRANS INPUT SPEED IS FASTER THAN THE ENGINE RPM BY AROUND 50 - 70 RPM, THIS INDICATES ENGINE FINALLY SLOWING THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IT ONLY TAKES 5 SECONDS FROM THIS POINT TO SLOW DOWN FROM 11 MPH TO 5MPH WITHOUT ANY BRAKES. THAT IS WHAT IS SCARY - 16 SECONDS OF FIGHTING THE ENGINE WHEN IT COULD HAVE STAYED CUT OUT AND SLOWED DOWN IN LESS THAN 5 SECONDS FROM 2K RPM. THE AC IN THIS EXAMPLE MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE, BUT ISN'T 100% OF THE PROBLEM. *TR UPDATED IVOQ/ 09/10/09

TODAY SPECIFICALLY THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE RESPONDED BY ONLY WANTING TO TURN TO THE LEFT WHICH WAS A SET-UP FOR A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN TO THE LEFT BUT WOULD NOT GO PAST THE CENTERED POSITION. IN ORDER FOR THE STEERING TO CORRECT ITSELF, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND CONSIDERABLE FORCE PLACED ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT, THEN THE PRESSURE FORCE WOULD FREE ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD WORK CORRECTLY. GM HAS TO KNOW OF THIS ISSUE, THIS IS A DEADLY "RACK AND PINION" IN THIS. I ALMOST KILLED A FAMILY TODAY WITH A HEAD ON COLLISION SCENARIO.

Summary

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. WE BOUGHT IT WITH 13 MILES ON IT WHEN THE FIRST FULL TANK OF GAS WAS GONE WE ONLY PUT ON 235 MILES TO THE TANK. THAT WASN'T EVEN A WEEK. WE HAVE HAD 2 TIRES REPLACED BECAUSE OF EXCESS WEAR WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT. NOW WE ARE WORKING ON THE 2 OTHER TIRES GETTING REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE SAME THING. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO COME OUT. WE HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE AND AT THE SAME TIME WE FEEL IT IN THE PEDALS. THE SEALS ON THE WINDOWS ARE COMING OFF. THERE IS NO DRIVERS SIDE COVER ON THE MIRROR ON THE SUN SHADE. THERE IS NO DOOR AJAR DING OR LIGHT THAT WILL COME ON WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR ONLY JUST FOR THE HATCH. I HAVE HAD MY TRAILBLAZER IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES IN 1 YEAR FOR ALL THE SAME THINGS AND EVERYTIME THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EXCEPT FOR THE TIRES. WITH THE GAS MILEAGE MY DEALERSHIP SAID I HAVE TO WAIT 10,000 MILES BEFORE I GET A BETTER AVERAGE ON THE MILES PER GALLON. WELL IT IS ACTUALLY I AM GETTING LESS AND LESS MILES PER GALLON THAN I DID A YEAR AGO. THE TRAILBLAZER IS VERY SLOW AT PICKING UP SPEED. IT HESITATES AT THE START OF PICK UP SPEED LIKE THE TRUCK JUST STALLED. I FEEL IT IN THE PEDAL. THE BRAKES HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES TO STOPPING ITS LIKE THE BRAKES DON'T WANT TO STOP THE TRUCK. THESE PROBLEMS ARE MAKING ME VERY UPSET. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH TIMES THEY SAY OH THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I NEED THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. SO I WILL TAKE ANY ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE ON WHAT I CAN DO. *TR

Summary

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A MAJOR ROADWAY, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. AS THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55MPH, I HAD TO CROSS MY FINGER AND PICK A SPOT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY AND HOPE THAT IT HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO DO SO. MY VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP HOWEVER ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERNET FINDS THAT THE 4L60 AND 4L70 ARE RIFE WITH FAILURES THAT RESULT IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY PART SEEMS TO BE THE "SUN SHELL" AND HAS FAULTS ACROSS THE GM LINEUP. I'M VERY SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. *TR

Summary

GENERAL SAFETY COMPLAINT ABOUT SEVERAL MAKES OF VEHICLES. MANY VEHICLES USE THEIR HEADLIGHTS AS RUNNING LIGHTS AND THEY COME ON AUTOMATICALLY. DRIVERS, IN SEEING THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON, DO NOT REALIZE THAT THEIR TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT ON AND DRIVE WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM WHEN I SUDDENLY CAME UP ON A CAR WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. THROUGH THE SPRAY THAT HE WAS KICKING UP AND THE DRIVING RAIN, IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE HIM. THIS ALERTED ME TO THE FACT AND I STARTED LOOKING. APPROXIMATELY 25% OF THE NEWER VEHICLES HAD HEADLIGHTS ON BUT NO TAILLIGHTS. I RECENTLY RENTED A CHEVROLET BLAZER . I LEFT MY HOTEL IN THE DARK WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON. IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND WENT TO TURN OFF MY HEADLIGHTS THAT I DISCOVERED I HAD NOT TURNED THEM ON. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HEADLIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPERATED WITHOUT TAILLIGHTS BEING ON . *NM
