FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN FUELING UP, THE GAS GAUGE FALLS TO 0, AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND THE LOW FUEL SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND DINGS. AFTER A FEW MILES THE GAUGE GOES TO 1/4 OF A TANK INDICATING THERE IS GAS, BUT NOT INDICATIVE OF ACTUALLY WHAT IS IN THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER EVERY TIME I FUEL UP, AND THEN STOP AT THE GAS STATION AND REFUEL EVERY 240 MILES. HOWEVER THIS PAST WEEKEND I RAN OUT OF FUEL AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I KNOW NOW THAT THIS IS ALSO UNRELIABLE AND WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO STOP AT EVERY 200 MILES.

POWER TRAIN
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN IT TRIES TO SHIFT INTO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR, I READ THAT THERE WAS A REPORT ON THIS HAPPENING BUT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AS FAR AS I KNOW, I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO SAYS THEY NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAPER WORK FROM GM ABOUT DOING REPAIRS. MY QUESTION IS WILL GM REPAIR THIS CONDITION AT NO COST TO ME?

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL FLOAT SENSOR, WHICH WAS REGISTERING THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE GAS TANK WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. 7 DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY FREEWAY, ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. I HAD TO MEREGE ACROSS 4 LANES ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND NEARLY GOT RUN OVER. NO POWER TO THE ENGINE AT ALL - IT JUST DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. OF COURSE, ONSTAR AND THE CHEVROLET DEALER THAT PERFORMED ALL OF THE SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE WERE NO HELP. WHILE WAITING FOR ONSTAR, MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED OFF THE FREEWAY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WORK AT TIMES, AND AT OTHER TIMES DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THE HEADLIGHTS MAY COME ON AT START UP, BUT THEN THEY STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.SO FAR THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK. THERE APPARENTLY IS A RECALL NUMBER (14291) BUT WHEN I CONTACT GM, I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS AS WELL AS TERRIFYING TO BE DRIVING IN THE DARK WHEN THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY STOP FUNCTIONING. *TR

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A COUNTRY PAVED ROAD WHEN HIS SIDE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. HIS RADIO AND LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. HE WAS ABLE TO GET HOME THE MILE OR SO, PARKED THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN HE WENT TO START IT THE NEXT DAY NOTHING WORKED. HE WAS STARTLED BY THIS HAPPENING AND WAS LUCKY HE DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR GET HURT. HE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY DUE TO THE VISIBILITY. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. - UNKNOWN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVY DEALER BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS IT SO AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF EXACTLY ALL THAT WAS EFFECTED WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DENIAL FROM OUR INSURANCE. *TR

WHILE OPERATING THE 2007 TRAILBLAZER, BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE TO OUR DESTINATION USING THE HIGH-BEAMS.

WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE RECALL 15V519000 BUT WERE INFORMED OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

AIR BAGS
NOT EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER LT 5.3, THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND SAYS AIRBAG FAULT, IT'S NOT EVERY DAY BUT MOST OF THE TIME, I'M WORRIED BECAUSE WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE TILL NOW. IT ONLY HAS 134,000 MILES, NOT SOMETHING I THINK SHOULD GO BAD, ALSO SOUNDS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING AN ISSUE. IS THIS A FUSE, A SENSOR? WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN I DON'T LIKE DRIVING AROUND WITH NO AIRBAGS. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS VERY FAULTY. AT TIMES WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE THE BATTERY AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE RPM GAUGE WENT OUT AT ONLY 36,000 MILES. I JUST WENT OVER 70,000 MILES RECENTLY AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE ONLY GAUGE THAT HAS ALWAYS WORKED PROPERLY IS THE FUEL GAUGE.
