ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING TO EMPTY AT AROUND 74,000 MILES. AFTER FEW WEEKS OF THIS, THE FUEL GAUGE NOW CONSISTENTLY READS EMPTY AFTER DRIVING 115 - 120 MILES ON A FULL TANK, WHICH INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE TRIP ODOMETER AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE SINCE THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE WAY TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK A ON HEAVILY TRAVELED BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!! ALSO AT AROUND 75,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MAINTENANCE LIGHT PERIODICALLY TURN ON. *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TODAY I TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE WINDOW WOULD GO DOWN AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY GO UP. I TRIED ALL THE WINDOWS AND THEY WOULD ALL GO DOWN AND AUTOMATICALLY GO UP. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE LEFT MASTER WINDOW SWITCH WAS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THEY TRIED TO RESET IT AND NOW THE LEFT MASTER WINDOW SWITCH WILL NOT RESPOND AT ALL. THEY SAID THE SWITCH WAS GETTING VERY HOT WHILE THEY WERE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
LIVING IN MAINE, IT'S NOT LIKE THERE ARE GAS STATIONS ON EVERY STREET CORNER. I LEFT FOR WORK ONE MORNING, KNOWING I HAD PLENTY OF GAS, MY SURPRISE APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY THERE, MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAUGE WAS ON EMPTY. I WAS IN A PANIC, I STILL HAD ABOUT 15 MILES TO GO BEFORE I WAS NEAR A GAS STATION. I FINALLY GOT TO A GAS STATION, AND SURPRISE AGAIN, IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 GALLONS TO FILL IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 800,000 COMPLAINTS ON FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS ON THESE TYPE VEHICLES!! COME ON, TIMES ARE TOUGH, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED.. DO A RECALL!! *TR *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN REGISTERING ERRATICALLY IN 2010. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS LATER, IT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. THE CAR STALLED AND DIED AS I WAS CROSSING 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC FROM A DRIVEWAY. AS IT WAS NOT UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, CHEVY HAS NOW AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR DUE TO PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY GREATER THAN HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A COWORKER ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE HAS SINCE REPLACED THE VEHICLE DUE TO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY FATHER-IN-LAW HAS ALSO REPLACED HIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COST $800 TO REPAIR. THIS REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE A VOLUNTARY 50% COST TO GMC BUT RATHER A RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT FLUCTUATES BACK AND FORTH. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. WHICH THIS CREATES A BIG PROBLEM SINCE I TRANSPORT HANDICAP PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. ALSO DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATES VERY SLOW, SOMETIMES IT HESITATES ON ROLLING UP. I HAVE TO LET IT SET FOR A WHILE, THEN TRY ROLLING IT UP AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES DOING THIS, IT HAS FINALLY ROLLED UP ALL THE WAY. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WITHOUT CONSUMER PAYING FOR ANY OF IT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE SEEM TO BE ONGOING PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY REFERENCE MY DOOR PANEL HASN'T CAUGHT FIRE YET, WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. ALSO MY SLICK, SKID CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON VERY EASILY WHEN I TAKE OFF AND STAY ON TILL I CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, AND HOPE DOESN'T COME BACK ON WHEN I START TO DRIVE. *TR

MY RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR PANEL CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY AND WAS NOT RUNNING. WHEN WILL THIS BE RECALLED? DOES SOME ONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS FIXED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD STARTED MY TRUCK TO LET IT WARM UP, AFTER COMING BACK OUT I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS INCORRECT, I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND WATCHED THE GAUGE GO FROM 3/4 OF A TANK TO 1/2. I TOOK IT TO SEE IF THE BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR WAS BAD, THE BATTERY TESTED BAD, SO I REPLACED IT. THE TRUCK WAS WORKING FINE, UNTIL 2/26/12, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES I NOTICED THE GAUGE HAD GONE FROM 3/4 TO 1/2. WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT I WATCHED IT THEN GO FROM 1/2 TO 1/4 OF A TANK. I DROVE TO GET GAS AND IT ONLY TOOK $21.00 TO FILL IT. AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT, AND WHY THE MANUFACTURER IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS PRODUCT AND DO NOT FEEL THAT THE COMPANY IS LOOKING OUT FOR US. I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM A RECALL AND MAKE IT RIGHT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE STOOD BY THEM. *TR

I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO A SMOKY GARAGE AND NOTICED MY DRIVER DOOR MODULE HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE, LUCKILY THE WHOLE TRUCK DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE IN MY GARAGE WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE INSIDE OUR HOME SLEEPING. I CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS IN MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TRIED CHARGING ME NEARLY $1000.00 FOR A MODULE AND DOOR PANEL REPLACEMENT AND NOTIFIED ME THERE WERE NO SUCH RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT I ALSO HAD ANOTHER FIRE WHILE AT A DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW, THE WIRING TO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTERS INSIDE MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE DOOR AGAIN THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SO MANY WHAT IF QUESTIONS COME TO MIND. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TRAILBLAZER I HAVE KNOWN OR READ UPON TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OR EVEN FIRE DAMAGE. GM DEFINITELY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE THERE IS HARM TO ANYONE DUE TO THESE UNKNOWN FIRES. *TR
