FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT AND SINCE ABOUT THE 40,000 MARK, THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. IT DISPLAYS THAT IT IS ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER, THEY SAID IT WOULD COST OVER $500 TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

AS OF TODAY, MY REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED IT, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY, BUT THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, CAME ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS. *TR

MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON -BRAKES, AIRBAG,BATTERY, SERVICE ENGINE SOON. ALL THE GAUGES ON THE RIGHT-OIL, GAS, BATTERY ARE BELOW THE RED LINE AS IF THE CAR IS OFF. THE CAR LOCKED ITSELF WITH THE KEYS IN IT WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF-HAD TO CALL EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE TO UNLOCK. THE MECHANIC STATES ALL THE LIGHTS THAT ARE ON ARE ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AND THAT THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER MODULE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND IT APPEARS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS-WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL RE: THIS ISSUE? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, WITH ABOUT 57,000 MILES. THE GAS SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, AS AFTER I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE GAUGE WITH GO FROM EMPTY, TO FULL, TO EMPTY, ETC. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FIND OUT I AM ONE OF MANY WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS ESTIMATED AT $800 OR MORE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SENSOR ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GOING OUT FOR THE PAST YEAR. IF VEHICLE WAS FILLED, IT WOULD GO DOWN TO EMPTY AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THEN OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT 20 MINUTES GO TO THE CORRECT SPOT. RECENTLY IT JUST DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY CLUE AS TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE, SO IT'S NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE ARE LOTS OF 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS ON THE ROAD WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THEIR CARS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, BECAUSE CHEVY SURE ISN'T! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 146,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS ONLY AROUND 50,000 MILES ON IT THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING UP AND SHOWING I AM GOING 85 WHEN I AM GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR, OR SHOWING 30 WHEN I AM COMPLETELY STOPPED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON OTHER POSTS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I AM WONDERING WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECOMMENDED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I PERSONALLY LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF CHEVROLET HAD TO STAND BEHIND THIS, JUST AS WE STOOD BEHIND THEM WITH A BAILOUT! *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS AND ABOUT A TWO MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BEGIN TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER 40 MINS OF DRIVING THE GAUGE FAILS AND WILL STAY AROUND 20 OR BE BELOW 0 MPH EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE HEARD HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME FOR THIS MODEL, AND OTHER GMC MODELS. IS ANYONE GOING TO STAND FOR US, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE FILLED UP THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS NOW ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE LIGHT WILL START MAKING A NOISE WHEN IT DETECTS THERE IS NO GAS, BUT WE JUST FILLED UP THE CAR. IT IS GOING TO COST 1,000 DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN FULL AND MOVES UP AND DOWN PERIODICALLY. WE NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL WE HAVE ANOTHER DEFECT THE VEHICLE HAS IS THAT IF WE TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF DURING THE DAY IT CAUSES A SHORT IN THE TAILLIGHTS .AFTER THE SAME THING HAPPENING 3 TIMES ,I NOTICED THE PATTERN AND MY WIFE BEING PULLED OVER AND TICKETED MADE ME PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS PATTERN. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OR FOR THAT MATTER A CHEVY ,THEY HAVE NOT BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE TO THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR
