FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WAS GOING 0-5 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOT UP TO 40. STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT STAYED STUCK AT 40, BUT I WAS DOING 30MPH. PULLED INTO THE STORE 2 BLOCKS UP, SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE CAR WAS REGISTERING 13 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. WENT BACK HOME, CAR SAT OVERNIGHT. STARTED IT FOR WORK IN THE MORNING ON SUNDAY AND IT WAS IDLING AT 8 MPH. STARTED DRIVING TO WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING 60 MPH, YET I WAS GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET THAT'S SPEED LIMIT WAS 45MPH. SEEMS I NEED TO KEEP TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE SPEEDOMETER TO RESET TO A LOWER NUMBER (I.E. 3 OR 8 MPH AT A DEAD STOP, VS. 13 TO 18 MPH AT A DEAD STOP). REVVED THE ENGINE TO SEE WHAT THE RESPONSE WOULD BE, TACHOMETER REGISTERED INCREASE, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT BUDGE AT ALL! I WORRY THE DAY IT WILL SAY I AM DOING 40 BUT I AM ACTUALLY DOING 55 AROUND A CURVE. THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY OFF LIMITS TO MY 17 YEAR OLD NOW. FUNNY THING IS I PREFERRED HER DRIVING THE TRAILBLAZER FOR SAFETY VS. HER LITTLE VW CONVERTIBLE. NOT ANY MORE!! I DO NOT SEE HOW CHEVY CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE ALL MY TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES DUE TO THE LINES BEING CORRODED AND LEAKING. THESE WERE THE ONLY LINES THAT WERE CORRODED OR SHOWED SIGNS OF CORROSION. THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO ALMOST EVERY GMT360. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

LIKE MANY PEOPLE MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS DURING A COLD SNAP AND ALL OF THE GAUGES GOT STUCK ON THE DOWN OR OFF POSITION. AFTER SOME TIME SOME OF THE GAUGES (IE. SPEEDOMETER ,TACHOMETER, AND OIL PRESSURE ) STARTING WORKING AGAIN HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE READINGS WERE INACCURATE. AFTER SOME TIME ELAPSED (THIS YEAR - 2012) THE TACHOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS HAS BECOME AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION BECAUSE NO VITAL INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDE TO THE DRIVER AND THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER BLEW ITS TRANSMISSION FOR THE 1ST TIME ON 6/1/06 AT 47000 MILES. THE REPAIR QUOTE WAS $2700 BUT CHEVY ENDED UP COVERING ALL BUT $200 AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. ON 2/24/12, IT BLEW ITS TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2ND TIME AT 94000 MILES. THE CAR STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL BRAKES, BUT IS NOW ON TRANSMISSION #3. THE REPAIR QUOTE THIS TIME IS $3038. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THIS TRANSMISSION, AS THE CAR IS JUST DRIVEN UNDER AVERAGE CONDITIONS (NO TOWING, NO HEAVY LOADS, ETC.) *TR

TODAY, 02/28/2012, I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WAS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND FULL AFTER ADDING 19 GALLONS OF GAS TO THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AND AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR TRAILBLAZERS. I AM HOPING THERE WILL BE A RECALL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR
