FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAD JUST BOUGHT MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALER USED AND THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THE GAS GAUGE DIDN'T WORK RIGHT. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS QUITE A FEW TIMES.I TRY TO REMEMBER TO SET MY TRIPOMETER BUT SOMETIMES I FORGET. NEEDLESS TO SAY ITS A HUGE PROBLEM. I HAVE DRIVEN CHEVYS ALL MY LIFE AND SO HAS MY FAMILY, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED GM HAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD A RECALL. FOR WHAT I PAID AND SINCE I'VE ALWAYS OWNED A CHEVY THEY NEED TO GET OFF THEIR CORPORATE BUTTS AND FIX IT!! THIS IS A DANGER TO THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEM AS WELL AS PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I WAS HOPING GM WOULD VOLUNTARILY RECALL THESE VEHICLES, BUT THEY WON'T SO ITS UP TO THE NHTSA TO MAKE GM RESPONSIBLE. THANK YOU *TR

2007 TRAILBLAZER AT 51000 MI. FUEL GAUGE READING INCORRECTLY AFTER FILLING IT WOULD READ OK FOR APROX. 100MI. THEN DROP TO EMPTY. NOW 10,000MI LATER IT IS PERMANENTLY ON EMPTY. I AM DRIVING USING THE TRIP METER. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER READS CORRECTLY. PROBLEMS BEGAN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WITH A GASOLINE FILL UP. THE GAUGE DID NOT READ CORRECTLY (EMPTY) BUT RIGHTED ITSELF AFTER SEVERAL MILES. THE GAUGE NO LONGER CORRECTS ITSELF AND READS EMPTY PRACTICALLY ALL OF THE TIME, EVEN WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT FUEL IN THE TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE KEEPS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN I KNOW THERE IS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY GAUGE GOES FROM HALF FULL TO THE EMPTY LIGHT (WARNING) COMING ON AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND JUST YESTERDAY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM SAYING THEY WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST TO REPAIR. IT'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND GM SHOULD PUT A "RECALL" IN PLACE AND COVER THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR! *TR

VISIBILITY
WASHER FLUID SPRAYS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE WHEN SWITCH IS NOT ON AND AT TIMES WOULD CONTINUOUSLY SPRAY AND WASH WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. NOW WIPERS WILL ONLY WORK ON HIGH POSITION OR YOU CAN TURN THEM ON AND THEY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. DEALER QUOTED $1000.00 TO REPAIR IT. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON TRAILBLAZERS I HAVE FOUND FROM RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE. GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. POOR QUALITY BY GM ON THIS. THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH BY RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ESTIMATING FUEL IS NOT A SAFE ALTERNATIVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT RESET ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR STOPS. INSTEAD, IT RESUMES FROM A HIGHER SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT 45MPH AND STOP AT A STOPLIGHT THE SPEEDOMETER MAY DROP TO 40MPH UPON STOPPING. THEN WHEN YOU RESUME TRAVELING IT STARTS FROM 40 INSTEAD OF 0 SO THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS YOU ARE TRAVELING 60 WHEN YOU ARE GOING 20, 70 WHEN YOU ARE GOING 30 ETC. WHEN YOU STOP AGAIN IT WILL COME TO REST AT AN EVEN HIGHER SPEED, UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE NEEDLE SHOWS OVER 120 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL! I HAVE DONE SOME INVESTIGATION ON LINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT FROM FELLOW OWNERS. GENERAL MOTORS APPARENTLY DOPES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AS SUCH WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH IS $500 OR MORE. I'M NOT SURE HOW NOT KNOWING YOU RATE OF TRAVEL IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THEM, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS TO ME. *TR
