ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING THE CORRECT SPEED, JUMPS AROUND WHILE DRIVING AND HAS AFFECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL. I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS NHTSA ITEM # 10023585 FOR MOST SIMILAR GM VEHICLES, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THIS FAMILY OF GM TRUCKS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPORTED ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPS WELL BELOW 0 AND THEN JUMPS AROUND WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING. BASED ON CHECKS WITH OUR GPS, THE SPEEDOMETER IS OFF BY AS MUCH AS 20 MPH. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I AM IN THE QUICK LUBE BUSINESS AND CHANGE OIL ON APPROXIMATELY 150 VEHICLES A DAY. PART OF OUR SERVICE INCLUDES CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE. ON ABOUT 10% OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM" WE FIND CORROSION AND FAILING VALVE STEMS. ON MANY INSTANCES THE VALVE STEM HAS BROKEN OFF AND BECAUSE WE WERE CHECKING THE TIRES WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR THAT CAN RUN INTO HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THESE VALVE STEM HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED USING INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS THAT CAUSE CORROSION. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $250 TO REPAIR A TPMS VALVE STEM DUE TO INADEQUATE MANUFACTURING. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO "NOT" CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE ON THE VEHICLES THAT UPON VISUAL INSPECTION HAVE CORRODED VALVE STEMS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR THE CONSUMER IN THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS REGULARLY CHECKED. IN MY OPINION A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THESE INFERIOR VALVE STEMS. MOST AMERICAN MANUFACTURED VEHICLES ARE TO BLAME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED. GAUGE READS EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH FUEL TANK IS FULL. THERE ARE SPORADIC FLUCTUATIONS OF THE NEEDLE, BUT GAUGE IS NO LONGER RELIABLE FOR DETERMINING FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES IN THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER / GMC ENVOY LINE OF VEHICLES INDICATE IT IS A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT.

I WAS RUNNING LOW ON GAS SO I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION. FILLED UP, STARTED TO PULL AWAY, SAW THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL READING EMPTY. GAUGE SLOWLY STARTED TO READ FULL AS I WAS DRIVING. PROBLEM PERSISTED NEXT TIME I FILLED UP. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY GOT WORSE AND THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING TILL I HAD TO HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT. *TR

FILLED BY MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER YESTERDAY AND THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I MISSED THE WARRANTY BY 3,000 MILES AND IT WILL BE ALMOST $800 TO REPAIR. HAVE READ ONLINE THAT HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE FROM 2005-2007 SO THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND HANDLED, IT IS OBVIOUS THE DEALER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
