FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY GAUGE WON'T REGISTER. IT'S FRUSTRATING. I TRANSFERRED OUT OF STATE AND TO HAVE TO REFUEL EVERY 200 MILES ISN'T RIGHT. I AM PAYING MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN OLDER VEHICLE WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE FLOAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I JUST PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 76,000 MILES. I HAVE 86,000 ON IT NOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NOT WORKING. FIRST THE TACHOMETER STOPPED, THEN SPEEDOMETER AND NOW OTHER GAUGES QUIT. I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IF ALL CARS FROM THIS SERIES END UP HAVING TO HAVE THEIR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH SOME FACTORY DEFECT AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THE PRODUCT THEY SOLD IN THE MARKET HAS KNOWN DEFECTS. I HAVE READ HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN AND REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NHTSA FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD FORCE THE HAND OF GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2007 TRAILBLAZER FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES MY FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE INCORRECT READING. I WOULD FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO TO 1/4 TANK OR EMPTY AT TIMES AND THEN BACK TO FULL. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND AT 65,000 MILES THIS ISSUE STARTED. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AT 60,000. I RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE BECAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL DISPLAY SHOWED THAT I HAD 1/4 TANK WHEN I WAS ON EMPTY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN THE SENSOR AND IT HAS TO BE REPLACED, BUT SINCE MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IT WOULD COST OVER $600.00. I KNOW OF 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SENSOR FAILURE AND AFTER READING REVIEWS ONLINE I BELIEVE CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS SENSOR. *TR

THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT COMPLAIN. MY SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW. IT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN I DRIVE OR PARK THE CAR. THE MILES ARE BEING RECORDED, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE ACCURATE. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO ME THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. *TR
