FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLED MY TANK UP WITH GAS AND IT READ EMPTY. THE GAS LEVEL SENSOR DOES NOT WORK, I HAVE TO CALCULATE MY MILEAGE AND HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH NO GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TWICE WHILE I WAS PREGNANT AND HAD AN INFANT IN THE TRAILBLAZER WITH ME. NOT SAFE AND I THINK THAT IF THERE ARE AS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, YET ALL OF THERE 05 AND 06 MODELS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. IT ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT. TONIGHT AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK, THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THERE WAS NO FUEL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT COSTS ABOUT $800 TO GET IT FIXED. I CANNOT AFFORD $800 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER, BUT RIGHT NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE MAKE CHEVY FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE VEHICLE DIED ON ME WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. ALL THE ICONS IN THE DASH BOARD LIT UP AND ENGINE ALARMS WENT OFF BEFORE IT DIED. I TRIED TO RESTART, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO THE KEY LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. A GOOD SAMARITAN GAVE ME A JUMP START AND I MADE MY WAY HOME. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. A MONTH HAS GONE BY AND THE PROBLEM STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME, I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NOTHING HAPPENED. 5 SECONDS LATER ON IT'S OWN THE VEHICLE CRANKED OVER AS I WAS ABOUT TO STEP OUT OF THE CAR. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS WEEK IS ANOTHER STORY, IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAVE READ BLOGS ONLINE WITH MANY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT I HAVE A DEAD CELL IN MY BATTERY. OF COURSE A MONTH AGO, THEY SAID MY BATTERY WAS GOOD. MY BROTHER INLAW ALSO OWNS A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INVESTIGATE I'M RUNNING OUT PATIENTS AND MONEY. NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY ISSUE BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST RECENTLY WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK IT WOULD SHOW THE FUEL GAUGE AS EMPTY AND MY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ABOUT 50 TO 75 MILES LATER IT WOULD LEVEL OUT TO BE CORRECT, BUT I WOULD ALSO RESET MY MILES JUST TO MAKE SURE. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. MY GAS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND I CANNOT GET ACCURATE MILEAGE EITHER. AFTER RESETTING MY MILEAGE AND DRIVING I BELIEVED TO HAVE 75 MILES LEFT ON MY TANK WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. IT DID NOT SEEM TO BE SO MUCH OF A HASSLE UNTIL I BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN, BECAUSE OUT OF GAS. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO LEARN IT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS PART YET. I AM A MOTHER OF 4 CHILDREN AND FOR ME TO BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN IS A SCARY AND UNEASY THOUGHT. I RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO KEEP MYSELF AND FAMILY SAFE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS MAJOR THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE THEMSELVES, BUT I BELIEVE SINCE THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM ALL OVER THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS AT SAMS CLUB FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAS GAUGE THEREAFTER BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME. MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS OUT SHOWING AN INCONSISTENT READING THEN GOES TO EMPTY. FUEL DESCENDING UNIT GONE BAD. AN INQUIRY ON THE INTERNET REVEALS A LARGE QUANTITY OF TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAD 49,000 MILES AND SOME CHANGE WITH THIS FIRST OCCURRED. CAN YOU IMAGINE RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A RURAL AREA WITH OR WITHOUT KIDS WITH NO HELP IN SITE, OR EVEN WORSE IN A URBAN HIGH CRIME AREA PASSING THROUGH. GM HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM DESPITE THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM. I FOUND THE AVERAGE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS REPAIR IS RATHER COSTLY REQUIRING THE GAS TANK TO BE REMOVED. AT THIS POINT I AM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY MILEAGE, FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL FAILURE, BUT I WOULD SAY IT STARTED AFTER I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS 2. IT WAS EVERY TIME I FILLED WITH GAS FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, NOW IT IS CONSTANT AND EVERY TIME MY CAR IS IN MOTION. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND COST IS WELL OVER $800, ALSO THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE EXACT PROBLEM. DETAILS: MY FUEL LIGHT ON MY CAR REPORTS THAT THERE IS NO GAS IN THE CAR EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON BECAUSE OF THIS AND CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE CAR. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEAL SAYS IT IS COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST OVER $800. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS THAT COME ON THE CAR. IT STARTED AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AND BEFORE WOULD BE NORMAL AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES. NOW IT IS CONSTANT. WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE IT WORKS FINE AND TELLS ME THE RANGE, BUT AS SOON AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT GOES BACK TO EMPTY. HAVE REPLACED GAS CAP AND OTHER THINGS AS SUGGESTED, BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOW CONSTANT AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING I CAN SMELL GAS VERY STRONG. IT LASTS FOR A ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND IS FRIGHTENING, THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS IT COULD BE THE PRESSURE IN THE GAS TANK. IT IS VERY SCARY AND VERY EXPENSIVE FOR AN ISSUE THEY ARE UNSURE OF. I REQUEST YOU INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT UNLESS WE SPEND THE MONEY FOR THEM TO FIX SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT SURE OF AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN ABOUT A 50% CHANCE THE PROBLEM RETURNS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT CONTROL PANEL HAS BROKEN OFF THREE TIMES. I REPLACED IT TWO TIMES. THIS TIME, I HAVE SIMPLY TAKEN A PLASTIC TIE AND FASTENED IT MORE OR LESS IN PLACE. IT LOOKS JUNKY, BUT AT LEAST IT IS USABLE FOR A WHILE. *TR
