FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 65,000 MILES, LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH RESULTING IN A NEAR CRASH. GAS GAGE READ 1/2 TANK WHEN LEAVING HOME, CAR STALLED AFTER 5 MILES. TRIED TO RE-START ENGINE AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME CAME ON. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START. FAMILY MEMBER BROUGHT A CAN OF GAS FOR THE VEHICLE AT IT RAN FINE. SINCE THAT TIME THE GAS GAGE HAS BEEN MORE SPORADIC. IF I FILL THE TANK, IT MAY READ FULL, IT MAY READ EMPTY. IT SOMETIMES READS FULL, THEN DROPS TO 1/2 THEN TO E IN LESS THAN 5 MILES. CALLED CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, WITHOUT EVER SEEING THE VEHICLE. SERVICE MANAGER STATED IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FALSE READINGS WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I FILL UP MY TANK AND THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY, BUT AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT WOULD READ FULL. NOW IT READS FULL FOR 20 MINUTES AND THEN STARTS TO GO DOWN. I WAS TOLD THAT IS WAS A POSSIBLE SHORT IN THE WIRING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. GREAT, A GOOD WAY TO START A FIRE!!.. I AM A GM EMPLOYEE OF 14 YRS AND THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED AND FIXED NOW. WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE..... *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHICH I JUST PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HERE, I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAGE FLUCTUATING ON ME. I JUST PUT A FULL TANK IN 2 DAYS AGO AND IT IS STILL READING PAST FULL. ON OCCASION IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY, AND THEN BACK UP TO FULL AND THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS ALL WHEN EITHER RUNNING OR DRIVING WHEN THIS ALL HAPPENS. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING TO ME, CONSIDERING THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE RIGHT NOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY POPULAR IN THE 05-06, BUT NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS IN MY 07 AND I HAVE 47,000 MILES ON MINE. I THINK CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THIS. IT'S RIDICULOUS! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON 7/18/09 I FUELED UP MY TRUCK WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE, WHICH WAS WORKING AT THE TIME QUIT WORKING. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO PEOPLE DEPENDING ON THEIR VEHICLES FOR DAY TO DAY LIVE, PLUS THE WAY THE PRICE OF GAS IS PEOPLE CAN'T ALWAYS AFFORD TO STOP AND PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE THE PRICE OF VEHICLES NOWADAYS IS WAY OUT OF RANGE FOR THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SUSPENSION
2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WILL COME ON ALONG WITH THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 40 MPH. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 20 AND 10 MPH. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE AND CHANGED SOME FILTERS AND 2 DAYS LATER....THE SAME LIGHTS COME ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THIS AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL ARMS IN 2001 THAT AFFECTED THE 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I PURCHASED MY TRAILBLAZER IN 2002 SO I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY RECALL INFORMATION. MY CONTROL ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

PURCHASED MY TRAILBLAZER BRAND NEW IN 2004 AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN MAY OF 2007 THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING THE BATTERY AND OIL GAUGES ARE NOT READING AND THE RPM GAUGES WORKS AT RANDOM. I TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IR WOULD BE $400 TO REPAIR AND IT NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY WORK. I'M ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT WORKING AT RANDOM. THEY WILL WORK BUT CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT. I FEEL BOTH ISSUES NEED TO HAVE A MASS RECALL ON ALL 2002-2007 TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. IT WOULD FREEZE AT 120+ MPH. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD WORK IT'S WAY BACK DOWN TO 0 MPH AND WORKS WHEN IT WANTS. IT ACCURATE WHEN IT DOES WORK?? AC BLOWER QUIT BLOWING IN THE FRONT - BLOWER MODULE RESISTOR REPLACEMENT NEEDED. SEEMS TO BE POPULAR COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR WENT OUT - AFFECTS INSIDE TEMP W/AC AS WELL. THIS WENT OUT 100 MILES AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND DEALER WOULDN'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY. ALL OF THIS OF COURSE AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK RPM'S BEGAN TO REV, AND I BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. MY TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR NOW. I DISCOVERED A LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE AND REPLACED IT. I'VE ALSO CHANGED THE FLUID AND FILTER. AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL AUTOZONE FOR A CODE SCAN, WHICH BROUGHT BACK NO CODES, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THEY CHARGED ME $105.00 TO TELL ME THAT THE TRUCK WASN'T "THROWING CODES" I ALREADY KNEW THAT! THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE APPROX. $800.00 JUST TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION APART TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND $400.00 TO PUT IT BACK IN. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE COST OF FIXING IT! AFTER CONSULTING WITH AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, I CHANGED THE TCC (TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONVERTER) SOLENOID TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS! GM WILL OFFER NO ASSISTANCE UNTIL I PAY THE DEALER TO DISASSEMBLE THE TRANSMISSION, THEN "THERE IS A POSSIBILITY" THAT THE FIX WILL BE COVERED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT DONE ANY TOWING AND ONLY HAS 56,600 MILES ON IT! THERE IS NO REASON FOR A TRANSMISSION FAILURE! *TR
