FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR UPDATED 4/14/16 *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER THE RECALL OF 12180 AND REPAIRING THE 1ST PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER TELLS ME IT'S 'NOT RELATED' TO THAT RECALL AND I HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR THIS MYSELF. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM ON THIS 2007 POS THAT GM PUMPED OUT. WHAT IS THIS.. THE 4TH RECALL? I'VE HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET EACH AND EVERY TIME TO GET THESE FIXED AND IT'S HELL GETTING MY MONEY BACK FROM THE DEALER! NOW AS UNLUCKY AS I AM, I ENDED UP WITH 2 OF THESE 2007 GM VEHICLES, THE OTHER AN ENVOY. NOW THE ENVOY WENT IN FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALL #12180 AND NOW ALSO RECEIVED THE PAPERWORK TO GO IN AND GET REPAIRED UNDER THE NEW RECALL #14309; WHY IS MY TRAILBLAZER NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL?? I STILL HAVE A DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW THAT ONLY WORKS SPORADICALLY, HOW CAN THE DEALER TELL ME THAT THAT'S A SEPARATE PROBLEM WHEN EVERYTHING I'M READING RIGHT NOW IS SAYING THE WINDOW PROBLEM IS INCLUSIVE?? I NEED GM TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS WINDOW PROBLEM/DOOR MOTOR PROBLEM. *TR
