ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NONE OF THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORK AT ALL. I HAD ALL OF THE STEPPER MOTORS, AND THE NEEDLES REPLACED. PARTS AND LABOR TOTALING $350.00, AND AS SOON AS I WAS DOWN THE STREET 4 OUT OF THE 6 DID NOT WORK,AND THESE REPAIRS WHERE JUST DONE IN 2015. NOW THE TWO THAT WERE WORKING JUST QUIT 3 DAYS AGO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE,I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, I DO NOT KNOW IF MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING HOT, OR IF THE BATTERY IS CHARGING. I HAVE NOTHING. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THE GAUGES WERE BROKE WHEN I BOUGHT IT CAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I COULD GET THEM FIXED. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC ON TRAILBLAZERS IN GENERAL ON THE TRAILVOY FORUM, AND YOU WOULD BE SICK TO SEE HOW MANY OWNERS OF TRAILBLAZERS, OR TO READ THE STORIES. ALSO IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO LET PEOPLE DRIVE A VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, AND VERY, VERY, VERY UNSAFE. TO NOT KNOW ANYONE OF THESE THINGS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE WAITING ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS FOR YOUR RECALL. J.S.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER CHRISTMAS 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE RED LIGHT ON THE GAS GUAGE CAME ON AND THE GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. HAVING JUST FILLED THE TANK EARLIER THAT DAY I THOUGHT THE GAS HAD BEEN STOLEN. I PULLED INTO A STATION TO REFILL BUT IT WAS STILL FULL. FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE GAUGE ONLY WORKED OCCASIONALLY. IT WASN'T A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF GUESSING HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN IT, I TOOK IT TO A REPAIRMAN WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY FOR A MERE $767.04. THE ODOMETER IS ONLY AT 47,760.
