EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS PAST WEEK, IT ALSO HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE SEVERAL MONTHS BACK. THEY JUST SHUT OFF AND WHILE YOUR PANICKING AND HITTING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES THEY FINALLY COME BACK ON. WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT ANYMORE. WHY IS MY CAR NOT RECALLED WHEN OTHERS FROM THE SAME YEAR ARE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN MANUFACTURING FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS AND MY DAD WORKED ON THE GM ASSEMBLY LINE FOR THIRTY YEARS. DON'T KID YOURSELF THAT YOU KNOW WHICH BATCH OF PARTS WERE USED ON A PARTICULAR CAR. MY VIN IS DEFECTIVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY EVEN AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED. OTHER 2005 TRAILBLAZER MODELS HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE GAS GAUGE AND SENSOR BUT MY MODEL DID NOT. IT ALSO CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN THE GAS TANK. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES ( WHEN YOUR MOVING, AND STATIONARY). NOT ACCURATELY KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS THE VEHICLE CAN CAUSE YOU TO STALL OUT WHILE ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 MPH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR GO UNDER 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S OIL GAUGE WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. ONCE YOU ACCELERATE, THE OIL GAUGE GOES BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP WILL RESET AS IF THE GAS TANK IS FULL BUT THE GAUGE SHOWS IT'S HALF EMPTY. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAVE HAD BRAKE FLUID, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, SENSORS AND TIRES REPLACED. TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS CHECKED; ALL IS GOOD. NO CEL CODE RELATING TO THIS ISSUE. TRACTION CONTROL OFF BUTTON DOESN?T WORK ONCE LIGHT APPEARS. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVING WHEN LIGHT IS ON. STILL HAVEN?T FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSES IT. BATTERY, POWER CORDS, AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED DO TO ISSUES WITH THE VOLTAGE OUTPUTS. NOW TO REPLACE FUSE BOX AND ECM DUE TO MORE VOLTAGE OUTPUT ISSUES. CEL HAS HAD NO INDICATIONS OF AN ECM, FUSE BOX, ALTERNATOR, OR BATTERY PROBLEM UNTIL THEY WERE BEYOND REPAIR (THIS ALSO HAPPENED WITH OTHER TRANSFER CASE LEAK, LOSS OF REVERSE GEAR, AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK) . CEL COMES AND GOES BY ITSELF AT ANYTIME WITH NO DIFFERENCE IN DRIVABILITY OR CONDITIONS. EACH TIME IT REAPPEARED IT?S THROWN DIFFERENT SENSORS AND/OR CIRCUITS FAILING OR HIGH/LOW VOLTAGES INCLUDING O2, MAF, TPS, EVAP SYSTEM, WHEEL SPEED, FUEL PRESSURE, OIL PRESSURE, STEERING WHEEL, GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION, AIR BAG IMPACT, JUST TO NAME A FEW. MY CAR HAS RECENTLY STARTED GOING INTO LIMP MODE AT RANDOM DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ONLY REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM IS DISCONNECTING THE WIRING HARNESS AND ALLOWING THE FUSE BOX AND ECM TO COOL DOWN. AND FINALLY, MY OIL FILLER TUBE SEAL BROKE AND OIL WAS SPITTING OUT INTO ENGINE BAY. COINCIDENTALLY, MY PCV VALVE TUBE HAD ALSO BROKEN, AND THE TUBE WAS HANGING LOOSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OIL FILLER TUBE. AS A RESULT, PCV TUBING SUCKED UP A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL INTO THE AIR INTAKE; WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION INDICATING ANY PROBLEMS DURING THE TIME OF FAILURE. MY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM IS NEARLY RUINED (NOT TO MENTION THE $$$ I SHELLED OUT IN OIL) AND THE WEAR DOWN ON PARTS HAS BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A CASH COW FOR GM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN 2018 WE WERE HAVING A FUEL PRESSURE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ICV HAD CRACKED AROUND THE GAS TANK. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I FOUND THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE AND CALLED THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COVERAGE HAD EXPIRED A MONTH EARLIER AND THEY WOULDN'T HONOR THE COVERAGE BUT IF WE WANTED THE CAR FIXED IT WOULD BE OVER$1000. WE'RE NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND IM SURE THAT'S WHY I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. CONSIDERING THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY CAR, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE EXPIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE BUY USED CARS ALL THE TIME AND IF THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CATCH IT BEFORE SELLING THE CAR IT'S UNFAIR TO PUT THE EXPENSE ON THE NEW OWNER WHEN IT'S A DEFECT CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S CHOICE IN UNRELIABLE PARTS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM USADOS AUTO SALES AND THE OWNER TOLD ME THE CAR HAD 185,000 ON IT. WELL AFTER PAYING CASH AND WAITING 27 DAYS I FINALLY RECEIVE THE TITLE AND IT SAYS IT HAS 260,000. THE BILL OF SALE HE SIGNED WHEN HE BOUGHT IT ALSO STATED THAT THE ACTUAL MILEAGE WASN'T CORRECT. HE FILED MY BILL OF SALE OUT AND DIDN'T INFORM ME OR EVEN RIGHT BACK THERE FORM HE LIED TO ME AND SAID IT WAS 185,000 SO I CONTACTED HIM AND HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING HE OVERLOOKED TO JUST WRITE ON MY BILL OF SALE THE ACTUAL MILEAGE AND I TOLD HIM NO I WOULD YOU HAVE SPENT $2500 ON A VEHICLE WITH 260,000 MILES AND HE REFUSES TO HELP ME. NOW THE VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. IT LEAKING OIL AND THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK AND IT KEEPS BLOWING FUSES.
