FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS FAILED. THE SENSOR WOULD FUNCTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. HOWEVER, THE DASHBOARD GAUGE WOULD QUICKLY DROP TO "FUEL LEVEL LOW." FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE SENSOR HAS FAILED COMPLETELY AND THE FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS DISPLAYS "FUEL LEVEL LOW." . THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. UNEXPECTEDLY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MONITOR FUEL LEVELS PUTS OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN A UNNECESSARY COMPROMISED SAFETY SITUATION. I NOW MONITOR THE LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRIP ODOMETER GAUGE. I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO REFUEL AT AROUND 300 MILES FROM FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FAILS TO GIVE ACCURATE READINGS, EVEN AFTER FILLING IT UP, IT CAN READ FULL, OR IMMEDIATELY DROP TO EMPTY, OR JUST CONSTANTLY CHANGES. I DO HIGHWAY TRAVELING UP TO 200 MILES BACK AND FORTH TO COLLEGE AND IT IS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION. *TR

WHEELS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL AND /OR COMPUTER PROBLEMS. THE FIRST SET OF TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE WORN OUT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WOULD SAY THEY HAD LOW PRESSURE, SO WE WOULD FILL THEM AND CHECK THEM WITH THE ONBOARD TIRE PRESSURE, OTHERWISE IT WOULD CONTINUE TO SAY THE TIRES WERE LOW. THE GAS GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND BACK AT LEAST 10 TIMES A DAY, THEY SAY AT THE SERVICE DEPT IT'S THE FUEL SENDING SWITCH. SERVICE STABILITRAC WARNING COMES ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. I THINK ALL WARNINGS (LIGHTS AND THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN) HAVE COME ON AT LEAST ONE TIME, SOME WE HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND LOOK UP WHAT THE LIGHT WAS IN THE BOOK. NOW THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS SOMETHING WRONG, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY IS REMOVED. THEN THE CAR WON'T START UNLESS YOU WORK THE KEY AND THE SWITCH. TODAY IT STARTED AND THEN QUIT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE KEY AND IT GOES TO THE RUN POSITION. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY ON, THERE IS WEIRD NOISE LIKE ELECTRICAL SHORT OR SOMETHING. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH WINDOW SWITCHES AND REGULATORS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS FAILED. FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, THE SENSOR WOULD FUNCTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. HOWEVER, THE DASHBOARD GAGE WOULD QUICKLY (LESS THAN 50 MILES) DROP TO "FUEL LEVEL LOW." FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS, THE SENSOR HAS FAILED COMPLETELY AND THE FUEL GAGE ALWAYS DISPLAYS "FUEL LEVEL LOW." I RAN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. UNEXPECTEDLY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MONITOR FUEL LEVELS PUTS OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN A UNNECESSARY COMPROMISED SAFETY SITUATION. I NOW MONITOR THE LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRIP ODOMETER GAGE. I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO REFUEL AT AROUND 300 MILES FROM FILL UP.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE 2007 TRAILBLAZER AND THE FUEL GAUGE JUST DECIDED IT DOES NOT WANT TO WORK ANYMORE AFTER MY MOTHER IN LAW HAD IT FOR LIKE 8 MONTHS. I GOT IT FROM THEM MARCH 2010 AND THE GAUGE DIDN'T WORK.... I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER AND "IT IS NOT COVERED". IT IS RATHER EXPENSIVE TO GET FIXED..... I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. I THINK THAT THIS IS KINDA LIKE A LEMON LAW THING. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS AND MAYBE GET SOME HELP.. SURELY MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE......... THIS SHOULD BE COVERED OR FIXED FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE..... **** THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS REALLY UNKNOWN.. I DO NOT REMEMBER BECAUSE IT STARTED NOT WORKING WHEN MY MOTHER IN LAW HAD IT. BUT IT STOPPED WORKING WHEN SHE HAD CAR AN I GOT IT IN MARCH OF 2010. THE MILEAGE RIGHT NOW IN 2011 IS 75,000 SO IT IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR THERE'S NO WAY IT CAN BE......... THANK YOU- *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES READS HIGH, SOMETIMES READS LOW, READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. GAUGE SOMETIMES MOVES NOTICABLY WHILE STANDING STILL. DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR ON THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER AT A COST OF $393.39 - THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2007 GM TRAIL BLAZER'S FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO SHOW AN EMPTY TANK WHEN I WOULD FILL IT UP, AND THEN WHEN I WOULD DRIVE FOR A WHILE, IT WOULD REGISTER FULL. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND GOING OFF AT RANDOM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROX. $800.00. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT, SO I STARTED INQUIRING ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDING UNIT. EVENTUALLY I FOUND A WEB SITE WHERE I COULD PURCHASE THE SENDING UNIT FOR APPROX. HALF THE RETAIL PRICE. I ORDERED THE SENDING UNIT, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE GAUGE NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY OR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. IF THIS INVESTIGATION BECOMES A RECALL, SINCE I HAVE ALREADY MADE THE REPAIRS, CAN I BE REIMBURSED? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE WHEN YOUR DECISION IS MADE. THANK YOU. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IN OUR 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING 18 MONTHS AGO. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL RANDOMLY OSCILLATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL AS WELL. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO RUN OUT OF FUEL TWICE BECAUSE WE THOUGHT WE HAD ADEQUATE SUPPLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED AND THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE, TIRE PRESSURE, CHECK ENGINE, AND GAS SYMBOLS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD PROVIDE AN INACCURATE READING OF EMPTY WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS AT HER EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 32,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 07/21/11 *BF UPDATED 07/29/11

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE FAILED. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE WAS STILL PROVIDING AN EMPTY READING.

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FUEL GAUGE READS WHEN TANK IS FULL BUT AS FUEL IS USED GAUGE WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO TO EMPTY AND ALARM WILL SOUND. I CANNOT BE SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS EVER IN THE TANK. I MUST RELY ON THE ODOMETER READINGS TO APPROXIMATE THE RANGE REMAINING. I FEAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ANTISKID WARNING LIGHTS ALWAYS ON INDICATING AN ANTISKID MALFUNCTION. LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ALWAYS ON EVEN THOUGH TIRES ARE ADEQUATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A FEW DAYS/WEEKS AND TURNS OFF AGAIN. HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN FULL. ALL LIGHTS HAVE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. TRIED TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, EVEN REMOVED THE KEY, BUT THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING. *TR

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING MY TRAILBLAZER AFTER I FILLED IT UP AND A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE GAS GAUGUE WENT TO EMPTY.IT DOES EVERYTIME TIME I FILL UP IT WILL GOT TO FULL THEN GOES TO EPMTY RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. BEEN DOING SINCE NOVEMBER 0F 2010 (88,000) AND AS OF MARCH 2011 (94,000) ITS STILL DOING IT. I HAVE TO CALCULATE MY GAS MILAGE. I CALLED COX THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WONT FIX IT FOR FREE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS AND THERE SHOULD BE. THERE IS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONCE IN THE FAST LANE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AND I RAN OUT OF GAS AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY 2 CARS BEHIND ME. I GOT STRANDED FOR 2 1/2 HOURS TILL I GOT SOMEONE TO BRING ME GAS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER RUNS OUT OF GAS WHEN GAUGE SAYS FULL, HAVE RUN OUT AT 70 MPH WITHOUT NOTICE ON HIGHWAY. HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT IS WORKING OR NOT WILL SHOW FULL ONE MINUTE THEN EMPTY THE NEXT. REPAIR IS COSTLY AND HAVE RESULTED TO RESETTING TRIP METER, HOWEVER IF I FORGET OR SIT IN TRAFFIC MORE THAN USUAL IT IS NOT ACCURATE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS MORE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THAN MY WHOLE LIFE. VERY UNSETTLING TO BE STRANDED NOT TO MENTION UNSAFE TO BE IN CAR NOT KNOWING WHEN GOING TO JUST STOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THERE ARE MANY MANY 2005 - 2007 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ON NUMEROUS CHAT AND COMPLAINT BOARDS, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL. I ONLY HAVE 65,000 MILES THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND NOT SAFE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

FUEL SENDER/GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION. I BOUGHT THIS 07 TRAILBLAZER BRAND NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 31K MILES. PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND 27K MILES AND THE DEALER ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!! YOU WOULD THINK WITH 70 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, CHEVY WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! VERY DISAPPOINTING. I JUST WISH THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM...TIRE MONITOR DOESN'T WORK, THE A/C ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. *TR
