POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SUV 4WD WITH 61000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE LOST REVERSE ON IT. MY MECHANIC TOOK IT APART AND FOUND SOME PIECES HAD BROKE AND IT WILL HAVE TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT IS THE SUN GEAR. I'M VERY UNHAPPY TO HEAR THAT GM DOESN'T ADMIT TO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION,BUT IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES GOES UP AND DOWN AND THE GAS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STAYING ON. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY TRAILBLAZER HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES AND I HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE FUEL GAUGES AND DO A RECALL ON IT SOON... WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON DEATHS OR INJURIES.. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 6 CYLINDER. RECENTLY THE GAS GAUGE BEGIN TO MALFUNCTION SHOWING EMPTY SOMETIMES WHEN IT WAS NOT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE GAS GAUGE HAS QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. NOW TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE RESULT IS THAT I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT AND UNLESS I KEEP FILLING IT UP EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS I RISK RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IN RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT AND SCORES OF PEOPLE WHO OWN TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2005 ON ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

4WD QUIT WORKING AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TODAY I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE FOR OVER $2,000. ALREADY REPORTED THE FUEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING. TOLD BY A PHONE REP FOR NHTSA IT COULD TAKE AT LEAST A YEAR TO INVESTIGATE AND WAS GIVEN A PHONE NUMBER FOR THE FTC. MY CAR HAS UNDER 44,000 AND WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE WENT IT THERE WAS A SMELL OF SMOKE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
AT 7:55 A.M. ON THE MORNING OF 12/10/09 IN ST. PAUL, MN, I WENT OUT TO MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (APPROX. 18,000 MILES) AND OPENED THE REAR HATCH (THE ENTIRE DOOR, NOT JUST THE DOOR GLASS) TO REMOVE A SNOW BRUSH. THE TEMPERATURE WAS -5F AND THE WINDCHILL WAS REPORTED AT -20F. AFTER REMOVING THE BRUSH, I BEGAN TO CLOSE THE HATCH WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE GLASS BREAKING. AS THE HATCH LATCHED CLOSED, I NOTICED BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE AND THE TWO WINDOW STRUTS WERE BROKEN AWAY FROM THE GLASS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW WAS BROKEN. IT WAS "SPIDER-WEBBED" AND PIECES OF GLASS WERE SLOWLY SEPARATING ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. LATER THAT DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY CHEVROLET DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN WINDOW STRUT RODS LOCK UP IN AN EXTENDED POSITION. THEY SAID THAT IF THEY LOCK, IT'S LIKELY TO OCCUR IN THE COLLAPSED POSITION. BUT ONE OF THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE THE STRUT RODS LOCKED UP IN THE EXTENDED POSITION, BUT HE SAID IT WOULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THE GLASS TO BREAK. I ASKED WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND NOBODY HAD AN ANSWER FOR ME. I HAD THE GLASS AND STRUTS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1,100. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND SEVERAL TESTIMONIALS BY PEOPLE WHO HAD VERY SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAPPEN TO THEM (I.E REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERING) INVOLVING GMC ENVOYS, CHEVY TAHOES AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. SO WHILE THIS MAY BE A RARE INCIDENT, IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A ONE-OF-A-KIND INCIDENT. SO HOW MANY MORE TIMES CAN I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME IF CHEVY IS SAYING IT'S NOT A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT? IF IT WAS CAUSED BY THE COLD WEATHER, IT'S ONLY DECEMBER AND THE WORST TEMPERATURES IN MINNESOTA ARE STILL TWO MONTHS AWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT SPEEDOMETER HAS STOP WORKING. WHEN WE WERE DRIVING IT SUDDENLY WENT TO 120 MPH AND WERE ACTUALLY DRIVING 40 MPH. IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING LIKE THAT! AN ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR OR POSSIBLY DEATH! TO THIS DATE IT IS STILL STUCK AT 120 MPH AND WORKS ERRATICALLY! I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2005 AND ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES! THIS IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE. I WOULD ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO CONTACT GM FOR A FORMAL RECALL AS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR
