FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND FROM DAY ONE I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH GAS OVERFLOWING OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN PUMPING GAS IN TO IT. I'M NOT TRYING TO TOP OFF THE TANK, AT THE FIRST CLICK I STOP PUMPING AND GAS OVERFLOWS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALL OVER MY CAR, MY FEET AND LEGS AND THE GROUND. SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN GET THE WARNING CLICK THAT IT'S FULL. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME SO WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE MET OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS AT THE PUMP AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS DOESN'T SEEM SAFE OR ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS/PUMPS. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 04 TRAILBLAZER IN MAY OF 07. UP UNTIL JULY THERE WHERE NO PROBLEMS. SINCE THEN MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGES HAVE BEEN ACTING UP. ON MANY OCCASIONS THEY GIVE THE WRONG READINGS.

SINCE THEN THE NEEDLE HAS STARTED MOVING BUT IS NO WHERE NEAR THE CORRECT READING. *TR

THE SETTINGS FOR THE SIDE MIRRORS DID NOT KEEP THEIR MEMORY. THE REAR HATCH WOULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, IT SPEWS FROM THE TANK WHEN GAS NOZZLE IS REMOVED. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN TANK & HAPPENS EVEN WHEN TANK IS NOT BEING TOPPED OFF. ALSO WHEN FILLING, YOU MUST CONSTANTLY REPOSITION THE NOZZLE BECAUSE OF GAS BUILD UP IN TANK LINE WILL INADVERTENTLY CAUSE PUMP TO TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, HOWEVER LAST NIGHT WAS THE FINAL STRAW, TRAILBLAZER HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS, AFTER PUMPING IN LESS THAN A GALLON, NOZZLE/PUMP STARTED ITS CLICKING/AUTO SHUT OFF. I REMOVED THE NOZZLE TO REPOSITION IT AS USUAL & UPON REMOVAL OF NOZZLE GAS SPRAYED (LIKE SPRAYING FROM A HOSE NOZZLE)FROM THE TANK AS IF UNDER PRESSURE. I WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH GAS FROM THE WAIST DOWN, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A LIGHT SPRAY BUT SOAKED THROUGH MY CLOTHES TO THE SKIN WITH GAS. BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF GAS LEFT ON THE GROUND I ESTIMATE THAT 2 OR 3 GALLONS SPRAYED FROM THE TANK, THE ONLY WAY IT WAS STOPPED WAS BY PUTTING THE CAP ON. ALTHOUGH NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED I AM NOW COVERED IN A RASH FROM THE GAS FROM THE WAIST DOWN. *JB

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ACROSS THE TOP HATCH .WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY IT WAS FLYING LIKE A WING ON THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE LUCKILY DOT FALLING COMPLETELY OFF BUT WHEN I STOPPED IT CAME CRASHING DOWN ONTO MY WINDOW OF HATCH LUCKILY NOT BREAKING ALL I COULD DO IS BREAK IT COMPLETELY OFF SO IT WOULD NOT FLY INTO SOMEONE'S WINDSHIELD BEHIND ME I WORK WITH A LADY WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND HERS FLEW RIGHT OFF HER LATCH CAUSING IT TO SMASH LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND HER. I ALSO HAVE IT IN THE SHOP DUE TO RUSTY CORRODED HOSES THAT WENT TO TRANSMISSION CAUSING ALL FLUID TO DRAIN ALMOST BURNING UP MY TRANSMISSION NO INDICATION LIGHTS EVER CAME ON OTHER THAN IT SKIPPING A LITTLE LUCKILY A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK LATER I TOOK IT TO GARAGE AND JUST IN TIME. UNFORTUNATELY EVEN WITH POWER TRAIN WARRANTY THIS PROBLEM IS COSTING ME 500.00 OUT OF MY POCKET NO FAULT OF MINE WHEEL WELLS AND BRAKE DRUMS HAVE BEEN BEATEN DUE TO LOTS OF RUST BUILD UP AND DOORS THAT WERE RECALLED AND FIXED THREE TIMES STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT ALSO FRONT HEADLIGHT REPLACED TWICE IN TWO YEARS CAUSING ME TO BE PULLED OVER TWICE AS I DID NOT REALIZE THE PROBLEM OF MY LIGHTS GOING OUT FREQUENTLY. *TR
