FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR ISSUES. THE GAS GAUGE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES WORKED BUT NOT ACCURATELY OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS AN EMPTY TANK. I GENERALLY BY GAS TWICE A WEEK TO LIMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING OUT AND WAS ACTUALLY ON MY WAY TO THE GAS STATION WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. TO ME THAT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AND THE MORE THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I SEE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ONE THAT I WOULD FEEL THE NHTSA WOULD BE JUSTIFIED IN ISSUING A RECALL NOTICE FOR. THANKS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING, AIR BAGS
I WAS STARTING TO GO UP A HILL AT A SPEED OF 56 MPH AND I SWERVED TO MISS A COUPLE OF SKUNKS WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED ON THE TRUCK AND I WENT INTO THE DITCH TO THE LEFT AND THEN ROLLED THE TRUCK THREE TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN NOV 2010 I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DASH LIGHT AND HIS RESPONSE WAS TO BRING IT BACK FOR SERVICE AFTER I MADE A PAYMENT, DURING THE ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE TOWING COMPANY WHO CAME TO GET THE TRUCK THEY HAD TO CUT THE BATTERY OUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE STEERING TO UNLOCK. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DOESN'T REGISTER CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. STALLED IN TRAFFIC IN MIDDLE LANE OF 6 LANE HIGHWAY. CHEVROLET HAS ADMITTED PROBLEM WITH "SOME" VEHICLES. I FEEL THIS IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HAS BEEN ADMITTED. CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND NOW READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK.THIS TRAILBLAZER HAD ONLY 36,500 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED. I BELIEVE THE DEALER SHOULD PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR MISREPRESENTS ACTUAL FUEL IN TANK. BEGINS TO DECLINE AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS FEATURE IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECEIVED A LETTER ADVISING ME OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FUEL SENSOR IN MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER MALFUNCTIONING. ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE NOTICE, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN FALLING TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING SOUNDING, EVEN WHEN I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK. THE LETTER ADVISES THAT GM WILL ONLY COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW AND I SEE NO REASON WHY GM SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF THE REPAIR. ALSO, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT WENT ON WHEN THE VEHICLE STILL HAD NEARLY 10 GALLONS OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ FULL FOR A WEEK AND THEN THE FUEL LIGHT WHEN COME ON SUDDENLY. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY, BUT I WAS ONLY ABLE TO FILL UP WITH 8 GALLONS (FUEL TANK IS 20 GALLONS PLUS). FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN SO INACCURATE THAT I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE MY TRIP ODOMETER AND I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT TAKING CAR ON A ROAD TRIP OR OUT OF TOWN. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, WHILE THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF FUEL IN TANK. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, THE GAUGE READS CORRECTLY, BUT AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. *TR WHEN TANK IS 100% FULL, THE GAUGE READS CORRECT UNTIL AROUND 100 MILES, WHEN THE GAUGE IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO EMPTY. ONLINE RESEARCH IS SHOWING THIS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE, POSSIBLY WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ATTACHED TO THE PUMP.

FUEL GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING SPORADICALLY. WOULD DROP TO EMPTY FOR A WHILE THEN COME BACK UP AFTER DRIVING A DISTANCE. NOW GAUGE IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY AND CEL ALWAYS ON WITH CODE P0463.(FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE) THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS GM PLATFORM. I AM KEEPING TRACK OF MILES PER TANK AND REFILLING AT 200 MILES BUT THE CEL WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE MAY BE ANOTHER, MORE SERIOUS, ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING ERRATICALLY AND THE GAS LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON. THEN EVENTUALLY IT STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER. MY WIFE HAS RAN OUT OF GAS IN IT ONE TIME. FROM THE COMPLAINTS I'VE BEEN READING. I'M NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS REPAIR AND IT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX IT. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THEIR PROBLEM. ITS OBVIOUS THAT YOU HAVE ONE. MY FAMILY ONLY PURCHASES GENERAL MOTOR PRODUCTS. PLEASE LET US KEEP OUR RELATIONSHIP HEALTHY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE KEEPS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN I KNOW THERE IS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY GAUGE GOES FROM HALF FULL TO THE EMPTY LIGHT (WARNING) COMING ON AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND JUST YESTERDAY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM SAYING THEY WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST TO REPAIR. IT'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND GM SHOULD PUT A "RECALL" IN PLACE AND COVER THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR! *TR
