FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN FUEL LEVELS, EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE FAILURE WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL SPORADICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR, WHICH WAS REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FLOAT AND FUEL TANK YET THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,562 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS QUIT WORKING. CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE GAS TANK BY THE GAS GAUGE. WHEN GAS RUNS OUT, VEHICLE STOPS WITH NO WARNING CAUSING A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR AT A STOP LIGHT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER MALFUNCTIONED. PROBLEMS INCLUDED THE NEEDLE STICKING IN ONE PLACE, NOT MOVING DOWN WHEN DECELERATING, AND EVEN SPINNING TO THE "6 O'CLOCK" POSITION BELOW THE GAUGE. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO FIND OUT INFORMATION AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO OFFER ME ANY HELP OR REIMBURSEMENT ASSISTANCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY, AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKED FINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. CONFUSED, AS THE GAS GAUGE READ 1/2 A TANK REMAINING, I CALLED A FRIEND TO COME PICK ME UP. HE PUT GAS IN THE TANK, AND IT STARTED UP FIRST TRY. I MADE IT TO A FUEL STATION, AND FILLED THE TANK. THE GAUGE READ HALF ALL THE WAY TO THE STATION, AND WHEN I FILLED IT, IT READ EMPTY FOR THE FIRST 40-50 MILES. THEN, THE NEEDLE FLOATED THE RANGE OF THE GAUGE. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS EVER SINCE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. I WAS DRIVING AROUND AND IT WAS PRETTY WINDY. I NOTICED THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE ALOT OF AIR COMING IN THRU THE REAR HATCH. WHEN I OPENED THE GLASS ON THE REAR HATCH I NOTICED THAT THE HINGE HAD COME UNGLUED FROM THE WINDOW. SINCE IT WAS WINDY IT ALSO CAUSED SOME OF THE OTHER HINGES TO CRACK AND BREAK WHERE THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS LOCATED. I HAD TO FORCIBLY CLOSE THE REAR WINDOW AND NOW IT IS ONLY BEING HELD BY ONE HINGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND IN THE LOWER MIDDLE WHERE IT CLOSES AND LOCKS. CHEVY SAYS THAT IT'LL COST ME OVER $1,300 TO GET FIXED SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT ONLY HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OIL GAUGE ON INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING IN OCTOBER 2010. IN MAY 2011 NOW THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE READ OF MANY COMPLAINTS ON 2003 TRAILBLAZER HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND YET NO RECALL. HOW IS THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONING NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL WHEN THIS APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT IN CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS?

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY
WIPERS POWER ON WITHOUT ME TURNING ON THE SWITCH. I CAN NOT TURN THEM OFF. CAN NOT DEFUSE THEM EITHER BY REMOVING FUSES. SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON AND I CAN ONLY GET THEM TO TURN ON HIGH. NO WASHER FLUID POWER EITHER. SEARCHED THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY MY VIN ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT ALREADY HAD A RECALL ISSUED IN 2004. THAT RECALL STATES THE SAME ISSUES THAT I'M HAVING. RECALL: 2002 - 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V046000. MY TRAILBLAZER IS A 2003 BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT MY VIN ISN'T COVERED. WHAT GIVES? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH BROKEN FUEL GAUGE/ FUEL SENSOR?? IT STARTED AT ABOUT 50,00 MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND SEE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WISH TO FIX IT AND THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THE COST IS ABOUT 600-800.00 AND SEEMS AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT BEGAN TO SHOW EMPTY AFTER FILLING MY TANK BUT THEN REGISTERING FULL ABOUT 50 MILES AFTER DRIVING. NOW IT ALWAYS SHOWS EMPTY AND I HAVE TO RECORD MY MILEAGE TO KEEP TRACK OF MY GAS. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS IF I MISCALCULATE MY REMAINING GAS. I CAN'T TAKE MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER ON VACATION SINCE I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE. MY WIFE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER WANTED ALMOST $800 DOLLARS AND TWO DAYS TO FIX THE GAS GAUGE. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS SO I AM FORCED TO HOPE I WILL BE SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS MALFUNCTIONING. ALTHOUGH THERE IS PLENTY OF FUEL IN THE TANK THE FUEL GAUGE RANDOMLY FALLS TO EMPTY AND SHOWS A LOW FUEL MESSAGE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT TRYING TO ESTIMATE BASED ON MILEAGE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, READS VERY INCORRECTLY. I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT ITS A CLUSTER PIECE AND THE PRICE IS $600.00. I CONTACTED GM THEY WILL OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AFTER REFUELING. IT WILL REMAIN THERE FOR AWHILE THEN GRADUALLY MOVE UP TO FULL, THEN FALL TO MID LEVEL, AND THEN EMPTY AGAIN. EVENTUALLY IT WILL GO TO FULL AND STAY UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP HOWEVER, IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY LONGER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. *TR
