FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 09-08, WITH ROUGHLY 45000, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH AT CHEVY DEALER THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD ON THE NUMBER FOUR CYLINDER. FILED BBC COMPLAINT AND SPOKE WITH CHEVY WHO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. COUPLE MONTHS LATER AND APPROX MILEAGE 60000, THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM DASH LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED CHEVY ABOUT THE OTHER TWO ISSUES AS I FELT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING THE SAME AS THE HEAD PROBLEM. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. I FILLED MY SUV UP WITH GAS, THE GAUGE READS EMPTY. WHILE DRIVING THE GAUGE WILL BOUNCE FROM 1/2 TANK TO FULL TO EMPTY. I NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE OR WHEN I WILL RUN OUT. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL USUALLY READS EMPTY. EVEN AFTER FILL UP. SOMETIMES WANDERS FROM 1/4 TO 1/2 THEN DROPS AGAIN. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER FUELING UP, WILL GO OUT AFTER AN HR OF DRIVING .. GIVE OR TAKE. KNOWING THAT THIS MANY PEOPLE ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, STEP UP AND LOOK AFTER IT!!!! RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS...BUT DOES NOT MAKE FOR HAPPY CUSTOMERS OR REPEAT BUSINESS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN 2005, HAD 56,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. AT 76,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT COMPLETELY HAD TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER $500.00 COST. IN 2007, THE DASHBOARD AND ALL THE GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY, HAD IT CHECKED AT A CHEVY DEALER THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND WAS GONNA COST WAY TO MUCH TO FIX. LATER IN 2009 THE ALARM SYSTEM DECIDED IT WOULDN'T WORK ANYMORE, OR IT WOULD SET ITSELF. (GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES OR MORE, WOULDN'T START EITHER TO RESET THE PROCESS), THE REMOTE KEY WOULDN'T WORK AS WELL. HAD IT INSPECTED AGAIN, FULL DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY THE CHEVY DEALER & ALSO BY FIRESTONE, EVERY ISSUE THAT THE CAR HAS IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING CONSTANTLY. HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND ON WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT, HIT THEM THEY COME BACK ON SOMETIMES, TAIL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, NO NEED TO REPLACE BULBS THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. FULL DIAGNOSTIC COST MONEY, I HAVE CALLED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO TO MAKE CHEVY PAY FOR THIS DISFUNCTIONING VEHICLE BUT, OF COURSE IT IS A BUNCH OF RED TAPE AND POLITICAL BULL CRAP. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE TOO MUCH MONEY WILL BE LOST AND STILL NO RESULTS. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THE GAUGES STILL GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL GO OUT AND THE ALARM STILL SETS ITSELF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. I PRAY OVER THIS VEHICLE EVERYTIME I GET IN IT. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A COUPLE DAYS LATER I NOTICED THE STEERING COLUMNS ABILITY TO TURN WAS VERY HARD AND MAKING LOUD NOISES. I FOUGHT CONTINUOUSLY WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE ISSUE AND FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THEY AGREED TO FIX IT. THEN 2 MONTHS LATER WERE DRIVING MY SON TO THE AIRPORT AND THE CAR STOPPED AND BEGAN TO SMOKE, COME TO FIND OUT THE RADIATOR HAD A HOLE IN IT AND THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF TEMPORARY STOP LEAK STUFF PUT IN IT TO ALLOW A CONSUMER TO DRIVE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE PROBLEM WOULD ARISE AGAIN. SO NOW MY FAMILY AND I ARE OUT OF TRANSPORTATION AND IM STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL TOTALLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND WONDER HOW ANY DEALER CAN GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THEY'VE BEEN DECEPTIVE IN THE SELLING OF A VEHICLE TO A FAMILY. THE TRUCK IS MY CHILDREN AND I ONLY WAY OF GETTING AROUND AND ITS HARD ENOUGH ON ME AS A SINGLE MOTHER, THIS IS JUST ONE MORE PROBLEM I DIDN'T ANTICIPATE, THAT WAS WHY I USE GRANT MONEY THAT I RECEIVED FROM SCHOOL TO PURCHASE (WHAT I THOUGH) WAS GOING TO BE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. THIS SITUATION HAS REALLY BEEN A BURDEN AND HARDSHIP FOR US, ESPECIALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WERE GOING TO GET FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER..IM SO FRUSTRATED AND SADDENED BY THE DEALERSHIPS NEGLECT, NON CONCERN, AND NOT PROPERLY FIXING VEHICLES BEFORE MARKETING THEM.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS MATTER BECAUSE I BROUGHT THE CAR WITHOUT A WARRANTY AND IT WAS USED. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN I BROUGHT THIS CAR NEW. AFTER ONE YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE LINC PLATE. OVER THE YEARS EVERYTHING HAS GONE WRONG WITH THIS CAR. SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE AUG. '08, GAS GAUGE STOPPED OCT. '11. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SINCE 2010 AND GM KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTED PART. YET GM PAID FOR THIS SAME DEFECTED PART AT THEIR COST FOR THE TAHOE, BUT HAS NOT PAID FOR THE TRAILBLAZER. WHY? WINDOWS AND DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK ON COMMAND. WINDOW WIPER(REAR) STOPPED WORKING-I REPLACED THAT PART. A/C COMES ON MY ITSELF. THERMOSTAT FAILURE. I THINK GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THE ONLY REASON THEY WOULD NOT IS THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT THEY ARE PRODUCING SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT FIT TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROAD. *TR
