WAS PARKED AT JOB SITE AFTER HAVING FILLED FUEL TANK. LOW FUEL ALARM AND LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN STARTED VEHICLE GAS GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY. AFTER SEVERAL OFF/ON SEQUENCES FOR THE IGNITION, FUEL GAUGE WOULD ONLY REGISTER EMPTY. HAD REPAIRED SAME DAY FROM DEALER. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE, AND OUR DEDUCTIBLE WAS 50% ($175). I TOLD DEALER I WOULD CONTACT GM TO GET THE "DEDUCTIBLE" REFUNDED. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES. THREE WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE LOST THE #6 FUEL INJECTOR AND IT TOOK OUT THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE (COMPUTER SYSTEM??). TOTAL COST FROM DEALER WAS $1633.01. CONTACTED GM, WAS REFUNDED $592. THIS A MUNICIPALLY OWNED VEHICLE, PROBABLY WHY WE RECEIVED REFUND. *TR

I RECENTLY NOTICED MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER'S GAS GAUGE RAPIDLY GOING TO EMPTY. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER MY WARRANTY ENDED THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. NOW WHEN EVER I START MY CAR THE GAGE WILL SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT BUT RAPIDLY GO TO EMPTY. BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER I DECIDED TO LOOK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN. WHILE RESEARCHING I CAME ACROSS THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE WITH OVER 100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM:WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM. EVERY COMPLAINT AND THE SAME PROBLEM AND MANY DID TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO GET FIX BUT THE PROBLEM WASN'T EVER REALLY FIXED. *TR

THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH ON DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME MY FRONT & REAR VENTS STOP WORKING. I COULDN'T CONTROL ANY WINDOWS, MIRRORS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC. THE HEAT/AIR/VENT QUIT BLOWING OUT FRONT & REAR AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. WE HAD VENTS (FOR AIR) FIXED FIRST. A DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE WIRES HAD BURNT INTO. ON JUNE 5, 2012 WE FINALLY RAISED THE $315.54 TO FIX THE ONE PROBLEM. THE CONTROL SWITCH BURN OUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME & WILL COST $463.45 TO FIX THE CONTROL SWITCH. I SEE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL 2006 TRAILBLAZERS (YOU CAN'T ORDER AN AFTERMARKET SWITCH DUE TO IT HAS TO BE "PROGRAMMED" THROUGH THE DEALER WHICH CHARGES $84.24 TO WHOEVER REPLACES IT (EVEN THEM AT THE DEALERSHIP) AFTER YOU PURCHASE THE SWITCH. WE LIVE ON DISABILITY (FIXED INCOME) AND IT TAKES SEVERAL MONTHS TO SAVE FOR EVEN ONE PROBLEM. *TR
