FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE AREA AROUND THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK, WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FUEL TANK, IS LEAKING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2002 - 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT'S AND GMC ENVOY XL'S. IT IS COVERED UNDER GENERAL MOTORS SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM #14423 FOR 15 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. MY TRAILBLAZER NOW HAS 180,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GASOLINE FUMES IN THE AREA OF THE FILLER NECK FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND CHECKED THE FILLER NECK AREA AND FOUND THE LEAK. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE LIMIT OF THE PROGRAM, GM WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER ASSEMBLY. I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE WAS ON 1/2 TANK. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAUGE METER WENT TO THE LEFT AND READ "EMPTY" AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE METER STILL READ LOW (LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK), IT EVENTUALLY RETURNED THE TO THE 1/2 GAUGE/METER MARK. CAR WAS STATIONERY AT THE GAS STATION AT TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THEN I EVENTUALLY DROVE OFF AT LOW SPEED.

TAKATA RECALL, MY 2008 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT AND FOR THE PAST YEAR IT SEEMS THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTH. EVERY NOW AND THEN MY CAR WONT START AND I HAVE TO GET A BOOST OFF TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK MY SUV TO GET THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GREAT. THEN AFTER THAT I NOTICED THAT MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE GOING HAYWIRE WITH BLINKING LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF AND THE CAR WAS NOT ON. AFTER I NOTICED THE BLINKING LIGHTS, I WENT TO TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WAS DEAD. ALSO, MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR MOTOR WENT OUT , SO THE WINDOW WONT GO UP OR DOWN.. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE ARE RECALLS ON ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER MALFUNCTIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT OUT, THE FUEL GUAGE AND OIL PRESSURE GUAGE STOPPED WORKING AND ALL OTHER GUAGES WENT OUT ONE BY ONE SOON AFTER. WE HAD A NEW GM CLUSTER INSTALLED BY THE GM DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $600. THIS TIME, ALL GUAGES STOPPED WORKING AND THE ALERT LIGHTS STAY ON. (I.E. SERVICE 4WD, SEAT BELT, SERVICE ENGINE, BRAKE AND ABS) OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME CLUSTER HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2003TRAILBLAZER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A USED 2006 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER. AFTER TWO MONTHS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH WAS OFF. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID PUMP WOULD TURN ON AND SPRAY FLUID ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH GREATLY REDUCED VISIBILITY. AFTER A WEEK I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GARAGE. THEY REPLACED THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. THIS DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, SO THEY REPLACED THE WIPER ASSEMBLY. THIS FIXED THE ISSUE FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK AND HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REPLACED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TRAVELING DOWN THE ROADWAY AT RANDOM SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. NOT AFTER A REPORTED DEATH!

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR TRAILBLAZERS. IT IS GM SAFETY RECALL 14291. THE PROBLEM IS THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE. I CONTACTED GM. AFTER GIVING THEM MY VIN NUMBER, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING MATCHED EXACTLY WHAT THIS RECALL IS FIXING. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DRIVING WITH HEADLAMPS ON LOW BEAM, INTERMITTENTLY BOTH HEADLAMPS WILL GO OUT. THIS HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STEEP, CURVY, HIGHWAY ON A RAINY NIGHT. I WAS FACING AN ONCOMING BIG TRUCK, IN A SHARP CURVE. DIMMED MY LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WENT TOTALLY BLACK ON MY VEHICLE. ALL I HEAR IS THE HORN OF A BIG TRUCK AS THE DRIVER IS TRYING TO AVOID MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THIS MAKE AND MODEL IS NOT ON RECALL, YET. SO I AM OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR, WHILE OTHER GM VEHICLES ARE ON RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM, WAS BASICALLY TOLD, NO RECALL, YOUR PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER FOR 30 YEARS, NOT ANYMORE.
