I RAN OUT OF GAS AND THE CAR LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE MY FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT....UPDATED 08/25/15*BF
Jun 25, 2015
FUEL GAUGE ACTS RADICALLY GOING FROM EMPTY TO FULL. AT THIS TIME IS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND GO AS IF IT'S OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT 55 MILES AN HOUR TO LOW AS 35 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPEN WITH IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON FROM BEHIND TO HIT ME AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPEN IN A PART OF THE CITY WHERE A PERSON LIKE ME, A WHITE, FEMALE, AND ALONE AT THE TIME COULD HAVE LOST A LOT DUE TO THE HIGH CRIME RATE IN THE AREA. *TR

THE CAR REGISTER EMPTY WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP THE CAR, AND THE TIRED GAUGE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR
Nov 18, 2013
I WAS LEAVING WORK HEADED HOME, AND MY GAS GAUGE READ 1/2 A TANK OF GAS. AS I WAS GOING UP A HILL MY TRUCK SLOWLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE IN 5PM TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT.11. *TR
Nov 07, 2013
AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH ON 2 LANE STATE ROUTE. MY FUEL LOW INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. 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

HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS PAST WEEK, IT ALSO HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE SEVERAL MONTHS BACK. THEY JUST SHUT OFF AND WHILE YOUR PANICKING AND HITTING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES THEY FINALLY COME BACK ON. WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT ANYMORE. WHY IS MY CAR NOT RECALLED WHEN OTHERS FROM THE SAME YEAR ARE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN MANUFACTURING FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS AND MY DAD WORKED ON THE GM ASSEMBLY LINE FOR THIRTY YEARS. DON'T KID YOURSELF THAT YOU KNOW WHICH BATCH OF PARTS WERE USED ON A PARTICULAR CAR. MY VIN IS DEFECTIVE.

Dec 23, 2019
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.

GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. NEEDLE ON E AND LIGHT STAYS ON. PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM REPORTS BROKEN WHEN SHE BOUGHT IT USED. I TRIP MILEAGE TO O WHEN I GET GAS. THEN BY # OF GALLONS I PUT IN I ESTIMATE HOW MANY MILES I THINK I CAN TRAVEL. IT'S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO KEEP TANK FILLED.
Jul 15, 2020
THE GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING! I JUST PUT 50.00 DOLLARS IN MY GAS TANK AND DROVE 12 MILES TO GET MY THREE GRANDCHILDREN. WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 64 MILES PER HR IN THE FAST LANE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OVER THREE LANES TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY BUT ONLY MADE IT TO THE SLOW LANE. I HAD TO CALL 911 BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I ALMOST GOT HIT EIGHT TIMES WAITING FOR THE STATE TROOPER TO GET TO ME SO HE COULD PUSH US OUT OF HARMS WAY WITH HIS PATROL CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WASN'T A RECALL! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
Feb 17, 2019
ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE. FLUCTUATES CONSTANTLY BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT A STOP. WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR PARTIAL DOES NOT MATTER. CANNOT RELY ON GAS GAUGE ANY LONGER. COULD CAUSE A STALL WHILE IN MOTION WHICH WOULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER ALL OVER THE INTERNET. A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE. BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
Jun 18, 2018
FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ACCURATE READING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATES FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS FUEL UNLESS I RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER AND MONITOR.

MY POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE RECENTLY QUIT WORKING AND I AM DRIVING AROUND IN FREEZING WEATHER WITH THE WINDOW OPEN. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL #13V248000 ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
Jan 01, 2017
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

RE REFERENCE TO RECALL SUBJECT : DRIVER'S MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH MAY SHORT THIS ALSO CAN CAUSE THE ENTIRE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL TO BECOME UNUSABLE (DEAD) CAUSING THE DRIVERS DOOR TO BECOME UNLOCKABLE FROM THE INSIDE YOU HAVE TO USE A KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR OR CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE TO EXIT THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS COULD BE A REAL HAZARD IN AND ACCIDENT. *TR
Aug 08, 2014
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

AT FIRST, FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ FULL AFTER FILL UP. THEN AT 1/2 FULL MARK, THE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY GO DOWN AND READ EMPTY. LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND ALERT CHIMES. AFTER 2 WKS IT WOULD READ FULL AFTER FILL UP BUT NOW IT GOES DOWN TO EMPTY AFTER 2-3 BLOCKS W/LOW FUEL LIGHT ON AND ALERT CHIME. NOW IT JUST REGISTERS AT A LOW LEVEL FUCTUATING AND TRIPING THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT AND ALERT CHIMES (ON AND OFF) OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS I DRIVE. THERE IS NO ACTUAL ACCURATE READING FROM THE GAUGE AT ALL. I'M DRIVING AROUND BY USING THE TRIP-OMETER TO DETERMINE WHEN TO FILL UP AGAIN. TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *JS

AIR BAGS

SERVICE AIRBAG light came on last week. Took vehicle to dealership to fix. Parts are discontinued so airbag cannot be fixed per Ferman Chevrolet dealership. Also told me that airbag will not work if in an accident.
Sep 30, 2023
AROUND 2019, I NOTICED THAT EACH TIME I STARTED MY TRAILBLAZER, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT WILL FLASH FOR A MINUTE, THEN GOES OFF, THEN COMES RIGHT BACK ON AND STAYS ON. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DAYS WHEN IT ONLY FLASHED THEN WENT OFF, BUT AFTER ABOUT A FEW MONTHS, THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT REMAINS ON. HAVE TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES. AFRAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY!
Mar 11, 2021
HIT A POT HOLE IN MY TRAILBLAZER AS AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN IMPACT OF ANY KIND, BODY PANELS ARE ALL FINE AND IN GOOD SHAPE BUT THE BUMP JARD THE AIRBAG SENSOR ENOUGH THAT IT DEPLOYED THEM. THIS IN MY EYES IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND COULD BE A BIG RISK FOR SOMEONE BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE MALFUNCTIONING.
Jul 28, 2019
TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. THEN IT STAYED ON FOR GOOD. WHEN I HAD IT INSPECTED. THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR LOCATED WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'M WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE WAS OVER LOOKED UNDER THIS RECALL AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE ME AND MY FAMILY IS SAFE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED BACK IN JULY 2017. I NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE. ITS AWKWARD FOR AN AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. I'VE BEEN DRIVING GM VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS.
Apr 28, 2018
SERVICE AIR BAG WITH WOULD PERIODICALLY COME ON AND GO OFF DEPENDING ON SPEED AND TURING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FINALLY STAYED ON FOR GOOD. WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION AND THAT IT WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR A WHILE AND FINALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. SAID THERE WAS A FAULTY PIECE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED.

Aug 09, 2014
I FILLED THE VEHICLE UP TO FULL WITH GASOLINE. THE BELL CHIMED SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND LOW FUEL LIGHT, AND WARNING CAME ON SHOWING LOW FUEL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM IN 2013 ABOUT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH EARLY WEAR OF THE FUEL SENSOR CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THEY COVERED THE EXPENSE OF REPAIR UP TO 120,000 MILES. WE NOW HAVE 134,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM JUST CAME UP, SO WILL NOT BE COVERED BY GM. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER ONLINE, SO I KNOW THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY GM. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME AND BELIEVE GM IS NOT RECALLING THIS FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM AS THEY SHOULD BE DOING. *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

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES HEAVILY WHILE IN IDLE. THE CAR WILL BE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AT A STOP. THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT. WHICH PRESENTS A HUGE HAZARD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE MOUNTS,SPARK PLUGS, COILS, BOOTS, INTAKE FLUSH AND PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE READ THAT NUMEROUS TRAILBLAZERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION! MY BIGGEST FEAR IS FOR A CAR TO STALL AND AN INJURY TO OCCUR A A DIRECT RESULT.

DRIVING AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. LIKE DOZENS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO NHSTA, I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS BUT THIS VIN WAS NOT COVERED ON NHSTA ID 14V7550, GM RECALL 14291. THE REPAIR COST $80 BUT GM HAS REFUSED TO HONOR MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WHEN IS NHSTA GOING TO DO IT'S JOB AND FORCE GM TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF VINS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. I AM SURE THERE ARE PROABALY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS LIKE ME. THE LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECEIVE MUICH QUICKER ACTION FROM THE NHSTA ON THE VINS TO BE INCLUDED.

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.

FUEL GAUGE READ FULL TANK WHEN IN FACT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF GAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY ON DASH COMPUTER WENT CRAZY LIGHTING UP THEN TURNING OFF, WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE CAR AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES THE COMPUTER SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF. FILLING THE TANK THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND REMAINED THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE GAUGE OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AFTER FAILURE.

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

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.

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

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 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

ON JUNE 18, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND VEHICLE DIED. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD VEHICLE FOR 42 DAYS. UNABLE TO FIX. THEY PUT A READER ON IT AND SAID I NEED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I CALLED GM THEY SAID I NEED TO KEEP DRIVING IT. I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK ON JULY 29. DROVE IT THAT NIGHT. VEHICLE PUT ITSELF IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK ON JULY 30. DEALERSHIP REPLACED ACTUATOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VEHICLE DYING AND TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING.

I LEASED A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ON MAY 31ST 2007 AT WALLY EDGAR DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE WEATHER STARTED TURNING BELOW 50DEGREES THE BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL. WE TOOK IT INTO WALLY EDGAR DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2008. ALL THEY DID WAS BLEED THE BRAKES. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE BRAKES WERE BACK TO FAILING. I TOOK IT IN TO LUNGHUMER DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2008, THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THAT WORKED FOR AWHILE.. WELL WITHIN A MONTH I WAS BACK AT WALLY EDGAR DROPPING IT OFF BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD EXCEEDED THE LAST TWO TIMES IT WAS WITHIN 1/2 INCH OF THE FLOOR. THIS TIME THEY BLEED THE BRAKES AND CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS AN AIR BUBBLE IN A CALIPER. WELL EVERYTHING WAS GOING OKAY UNTIL THE FIRST REAL COLD OF THE YEAR. MY BRAKES WERE DOWN TO THE FLOOR LITERALLY. I WAS UNSURE IF THEY WERE GOING TO STOP ME. THIS TIME THEY DID THEIR JOB AT WALLY EDGAR AND REPLACED A MODULAR SENSOR. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE WORKING GOOD. THAT WAS JANUARY 14, 2009. WITHIN A WEEK THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSFERCASE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. JANUARY 22, 2009. THEN ON JANUARY 30TH MY SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT AND STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, AND ELECTRIC BRAKE MODULE. AND I AM SUPPOSE TO FEEL SAFE IN THIS HEAP OF JUNK. *TR

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

THERE IS TIME THE KEY WILL KEEP TURN ENGINE OVER EVEN WHEN YOU LET GO OF KEY , #2 HEADLAMP AND DAYTIME DRIVING LITE SOMETIMES WON'T WON'T WORK PROPERLY. AND THE LAST THING IS MY DRIVER SIDE MASTER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY WHEN IT RAIN.

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

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

SOME OF THE ITEMS FORTHCOMING HAPPEN ALL TOGETHER AND/OR INTERMITTENTLY SEPARATE. THE INITIAL ISSUES NOTICEABLY STARTED UPON MY ARRIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED BEFORE MY RELOCATION, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID MYSELF. I CAME OUT TO MY CAR ON SATURDAY, 6/16/12. MY CAR WINDOW WAS DOWN AND SOME ITEMS WERE STOLEN. I DID NOT SEE ANY GLASS ON THE GROUND SO I THOUGHT I LEFT THE WINDOW DOWN MYSELF AND SOMEONE JUST STOLEN ITEMS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE COMPLEX SECURITY AND REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO HOA, I CAME OUT THE TRUCK AGAIN IT SMELLED OF WIRES BURNING AND THE WINDOW WAS DOWN AGAIN. 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. IN THE LATE FALL THERE WAS A REALLY BAD THUNDERSTORM AND WHEN ARRIVED TO TRUCK AFTER WORK; RUNNING IN RAIN, I SAW THAT MY WINDOW WAS DOWN AND I COULD NOT GET THE WINDOW BACK UP FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I WAS SOAKED AND SO WAS THE CAR. THE TRUCK RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE RECENTLY AND ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OUT AND THE WALMART MECHANIC WHO DID THE OIL CHANGE STATED THAT HE SMELLED GAS AND SOME WIRES BURNING, LIGHTS ON PANEL WOULD NOT GO OUT. SMELL OF WIRES BURNING. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS-THEN GOES OFF BY ITSELF. ALL LIGHTS EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON PANEL INTERMITTENTLY ON (OIL/TRACTION/TIRE PRESSURE).

AFTER FEW WEEKS OF THIS, THE FUEL GAUGE NOW CONSISTENTLY READS EMPTY AFTER DRIVING 115 - 120 MILES ON A FULL TANK, WHICH INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSING UNIT.

I've had the brakes replaced because I thought they were an issue I was having with my ABS. But my car will randomly lock its brakes as I'm driving, no matter what speed. I'm scared to drive it.

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

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 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

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

I WAS STARTING TO GO UP A HILL AT A SPEED OF 56 MPH AND I SWERVED TO MISS A COUPLE OF SKUNKS WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED ON THE TRUCK AND I WENT INTO THE DITCH TO THE LEFT AND THEN ROLLED THE TRUCK THREE TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOV 2010 I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DASH LIGHT AND HIS RESPONSE WAS TO BRING IT BACK FOR SERVICE AFTER I MADE A PAYMENT, DURING THE ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE TOWING COMPANY WHO CAME TO GET THE TRUCK THEY HAD TO CUT THE BATTERY OUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE STEERING TO UNLOCK. *KB

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.

FUEL SENDER/GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION. I BOUGHT THIS 07 TRAILBLAZER BRAND NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 31K MILES. PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND 27K MILES AND THE DEALER ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!! YOU WOULD THINK WITH 70 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, CHEVY WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! VERY DISAPPOINTING. I JUST WISH THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM...TIRE MONITOR DOESN'T WORK, THE A/C ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. *TR

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

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 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

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
