FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILS IN SUCH A WAY AS TO INDICATE THE CAR HAS FUEL WHEN IT DOES NOT. THIS COULD RESULT IN A BREAKDOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY LEADING TO A CRASH WITH INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND TAIL LIGHTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WON'T WORK ANYMORE. GM SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS AROUND THE SAME YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL ON THE TRAILBLAZER YET.

EQUIPMENT
ALL OF MY GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND THEN RANDOMLY TURN BACK ON. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NO SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, OLIL, BATTERY, TACHOMETER OR ODOMETER ON. THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL TURN ON. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $500 IF NOT MORE TO HAVE THEM TAKE APART MY DASH AND LOOK AND THEN POSSIBLY SEND IT OUT TO SEEIF IT CAN BE FI.XED THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE I HAVE FOUND ONLINE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.

3 WEEKS AGO, PER THE FUEL GUAGE HAD 1/4 TANK, NO 'LOW FUEL' LIGHT INDICATOR. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS, LEAVING ME TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A CORNER. I WAS STRANDED. I HAVE NOT LET THE TANK GET THAT LOW SINCE, OUT OF FEAR THE GUAGE WAS NOT READING IT PROPERLY. LAST NIGHT, I FILLED THE VEHICLE. APPORXIMATELY A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE GUAGE REGISTERED EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT INDICATOR. DURING MY 10 MINUTE DRIVE IT CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY & FULL. I AM AFFRAID OF THE VEHICLE CUTTING OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR MANUEVERING THROUGH CORNERS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS, THE GAS GAUGE AT 52,000 MILES BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE FROM E TO F. THIS DOES NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE READING. I UNDERSTAND THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A PRESSING SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT CAN LEAD TO STRANDED MOTORIST WHICH CAN BE SAFETY RELATED. IT NOW OCCURS EVERY DAY. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE PART YET BUT READING VARIOUS FORUMS ONLINE STATE IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT RANGES FROM A 600.00 TO 800.00 PROCEDURE. I ALSO LOOKED AT THE COMPLAINT RESULTS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS ON THIS YEAR MODEL ALONE VEHICLE AND THE NTSA HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. I AM POSITIVE IF YOU RESEARCHED EVERY YEAR MODEL OF THE TRAILBLAZER YOU WILL FIND A TREND. PLEASE DO THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKE SURE GENERAL MOTORS RECTIFIES THE SITUATION.

THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES YET, THAT I KNOW OF. THERE HAVE, HOWEVER, BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND CHEVY DOES NOT CARE. THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY, THE SPEEDOMETER CAN READ 0-120 WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. THEREFORE WE NEVER KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING AND WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. BESIDES THE GAUGES THE WIRES FOR THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING. I WAS TOLD WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ONE FIXED THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE SO COMMON WITH MANY CHEVY VEHICLES AND THEY ARE RECALLING SOME AND NOT ALL, I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY NOT ALL? *CN

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER LS. MY FUEL GUAGE IS READING INCURRECTLY, DESPITE FILLING MY TANK FULL WITH GAS THE DIAL GOES BACK TO EMPTY. THE DIAL ON THE GUAGE MOVES SOME TIMES BUT MOSTLY EITHER REMAINS ON EMPTY AND NEVERS READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHILE I HAD MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOT TO MENTION MY FRIEND HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER TRAILBLAZER AND GAVE THE WHOLE TRUCK BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE FAMILY AND THE LAST THING I NEED TO HAPPEN IS TO RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRUCK *CN

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHAT A HUNK OF JUNK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING , WHICH I READ IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE 2005 MODELS ITS A PROBLEM BUT I AM DEALING WITH IT UNTIL I RUN OUT OF GAS LATE ON NIGHT WITH MY KIDS AND SOME TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO US! BUT THAT IS NOT THE MAJOR COMPLAINT NOW. ON 2 SEPERATE OCCASIONS MY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPS WORKING, EITHER I AM GOING ZERO OR I AM GOING 120 MILES A HOUR, WHAT A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR A PERSON WHO DOES A GREAT DEAL OF HIGHWAY TRAVELING. SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IT SEEM THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING BOTH OF THESE ISSUES I KNOW GM DOESNT PROBABLY SEE THEM AS A SAFTEY ISSUE BUT I DO. I TERRIFIED OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS I USUALLY TRAVELING ALONE OR WITH MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. BUT O WONT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE GAS BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY ALL OF THOSE SPEEDING TICKETS. *CN

ON 3-18-2010 WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM A DEALERSHIP. UPON DRIVING IT HOME, WE NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS ALMOST TO EMPTY. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND GOT GAS BUT THE TANK WAS NOT EMPTY. THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUES TO "BOUNCE" AROUND FROM FULL TO EMPTY MANY TIMES DURING REGULAR DRIVING. THIS OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND STOP LETTING CONSUMERS PAY $600-$1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE PART.
