FUEL TANK SENSOR ON 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND OR BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TRAVEL THE HIGHWAY TO WORK EVERYDAY AND IT COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL HORRIFIC HIGHWAY ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY FUEL GAUGE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE HIGHEST IT WOULD GO WAS 1/4 TANK OF GAS AFTER PUTTING IN $70 WORTH OF GAS. AND THAT FLUCTUATED EVERYDAY. ONE MOMENT IT WOULD HAVE 1/4 THEN NOTHING. I HAD TO USE MY TRIP METER UNTIL I HAD THE MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE FUEL SENSOR SHORTED. I KNOW THAT MY CAR IS A 2005 WITH 87K MILES, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE, I AM SHOCKED THERE IS NO RECALL YET. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS LEAVING A FOOTBALL GAME ON A FRIDAY NIGHT, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY HEADLIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF. I TURNED ON MY HIGH BEAMS LEFT THEM ON FOR A FEW MINUTES (5-10) THEN TURNED THEM OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I HAD A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO CERTAIN TIME THAT THIS OCCURS, I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST GO COMPLETELY OUT. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ONE NIGHT. I WAS OUT OF TOWN LEAVING A FOOTBALL GAME GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE, I ALMOST HIT THE MEDIUM BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. THIS OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 TIME IN A MONTH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DUE TO A MECHANICAL FAILURE, I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED IN MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY UNTIL I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH MY YOUNG CHILD. THE GAS GAUGE WAS AGAIN GIVING FALSE READINGS AND MY VEHICLE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. AS IT STANDS NOW, I WILL HAVE REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE OF SUDDENLY HAVING NO FUEL, I CAN CERTAINLY SAY IT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IN MY VICINITY, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN AS FORTUNATE AS I WAS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
HELLO, I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD MANY COMPLAINTS OF CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON GMC SUV'S. I HAVE ONE AND HAVE BEEN READING WAY TOO MANY POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS CAUSED BY WHAT 2 MECHANICS SAY IS A BAD DESIGN AND CHEAP PARTS. FOR A $30+ TRUCK, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE A 2008 TRAILBLAZER LT, WITH 50K MILES. THE COST TO FIX IS AVERAGED AT AROUND $600-$700!!!!! MANY HAVE TO TRY AND TACKLE THIS PROJECT ON THEIR OWN SINCE THAT TYPE OF MONEY ISN'T REALLY JUST LAYING AROUND FOR MOST PEOPLE AND WHAT HAPPENS IS BROKEN BOLTS AND THEN A WHOLE SEPARATE ISSUE. ALSO BEEN PROBLEMS WITH O2 SENSORS BECAUSE OF THE LEAK, SEEMS THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS IF NOT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A FACTORY/MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF, AT NO COST TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. OR I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MONEY I NEED TO SPEND TOWARD FIXING IT SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD TO NOT HAVE IT IN DRIVING CONDITION. PROMPT ACTION TO THIS COMPLAINT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. STILL A TRUE GM BELIEVER!!!! BUT COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP HERE AS MANY OTHERS DO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, IT IS COMPLETELY POINTING DOWN, NOW ALL OF THE GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING.. MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS I'M GOING 80-90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP. ITS SUCH A PAIN, NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, OR HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES..THEY SHOULD REALLY RECALL WHAT EVER IS MAKING THE GAUGES DO THIS..IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. ITS TOO BAD BECAUSE I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER BUT WONT EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, RPM GAUGE) INOP. GAUGES CONSISTENTLY DON'T WORK. SPEEDOMETER CAN BE OFF 10 ,20 OR 70 MPH. TREMENDOUSLY UNSAFE. FROM RESEARCH, GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. ALMOST RUNOVER BY A TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE. THOUGHT I WAS GOING 65 MPH ON A DARK, DESERTED STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. WAS ACTUALLY GOING 35 MPH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER: AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP, THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THROWS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. IT HAS ALSO BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR/ FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN IF IT IS NOT FIXED. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS AND THEY TOO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY TRAILBLAZER ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 43,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ALONG AND SPEEDOMETER SHOWED ALMOST 100MPH. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE THE SPEED READ ABOUT 30MPH. CALL THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY STATED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM, AND WELL KNOWN WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE CLUSTER PANEL AND GM WAS REPAIRING ALMOST ALL THE VEHICLES BUT THE TRAILBLAZER. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE TRAILBLAZER TO COLLEGE AND THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHICH IS A DANGER NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THE DEALER SAID GM IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO SO MANY TRAILBLAZERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT WOULD COST UP TO $1500 TO REPAIR. I'VE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO GM THIS PAST YEAR AND JUST GET A RUNAROUND. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. FIRST THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THEN THE TIRE LIGHT. LIGHTS WOULD EITHER COME ON AND STAY ON OR BLINK, THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OFF OR WOULD CLEAR WHEN TRAILBLAZER STARTED. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PATCH FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT WAS CORRECTED, THE NEXT WEEK THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THAT I WAS STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LIGHTS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST 400.00 TO FIX. (THE AUTO WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) I ASKED DEALER WHY THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAN FIND SOMETHING NOW. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. SMELLS FISHY TO ME. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I AM NOT CERTAIN IF IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE "COMPUTER CHIP" OR THERE IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, I CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, TRACTION CONTROL OR ENGINE. *TR
