FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I CHECKED WITH DEALER AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN. ACCORDING TO GM I WAS MAILED OUT A SERVICE NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE IN 2011 WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. # 10041526 . I CHECKED WITH THE GMC DEALER ABOUT THIS SERVICE BULLETIN AND THE THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. WELL THE DEALER CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THE PARAMETERS FOR A COST FREE REPAIR. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW BACK AND 2005 AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE THIS SERVICED AT OVER THE YEARS NEVER DID ANY REPAIRS ON THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM A OIF ARMY VETERAN AND I CAN NOT CURRENTLY AFFORD THIS $900 REPAIR. I TOLD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHEVY ABOUT THIS AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A CHEVY LOYALTY CAR. REALLY YOUR KIDDING ME?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. LIKE DOZENS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO NHSTA, I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS BUT THIS VIN WAS NOT COVERED ON NHSTA ID 14V7550, GM RECALL 14291. THE REPAIR COST $80 BUT GM HAS REFUSED TO HONOR MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WHEN IS NHSTA GOING TO DO IT'S JOB AND FORCE GM TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF VINS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. I AM SURE THERE ARE PROABALY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS LIKE ME. THE LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECEIVE MUICH QUICKER ACTION FROM THE NHSTA ON THE VINS TO BE INCLUDED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON NOVEMBER 19, 2015, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET, P.O. BOX 909989, MILWAUKEE, WI 53209-9989, DATED NOVEMBER 2015, NOTIFYING ME, "THIS LETTER IS INTENDED TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT SOME 2004 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN A FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) THAT COULD FRACTURE." I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE 1-800-222-1020 PHONE NUMBER INCLUDED IN THE LETTER AND THE GENTLEMEN I SPOKE WITH CALLED MY NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER, NIMNICHT CHEVROLET, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, AND ASKED THEM TO CALL ME TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE SITUATION INVESTIGATED. THEY DID NOT CALL ME AND THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHEVROLET CALLED BACK TO CONFIRM THAT I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH NIMNICHT AND I INFORMED HIM THEY HAD NOT CALLED. HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THEM BACK AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT SET UP FOR ME, WHICH WAS NOT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, AT 8:00 A.M. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN, WHICH HAS ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS LISTED, I.E. GASOLINE SMELL, SES LIGHT ON SOLID FOR A WHILE, THEN BEGINS BLINKING, AND WILL GO BACK TO SOLID, TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND WHEN SITTING STILL WITH ENGINE RUNNING, ENGINE ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF MY ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER 150,000. THE DATE I RECEIVED THE LETTER, THE MILEAGE WAS 151,872 AND BY THE TIME I GOT AN APPOINTMENT, IT WAS 152,000 PLUS. AFTER LETTING ME SIT IN THEIR WAITING ROOM, AND MY ASKING THEM TO PLEASE CALL CHEVROLET TO SEE IF SOME TYPE OF EXCEPTION COULD BE MADE, THE LADY CAME BACK AND OFFERED ME A "REAL DEAL" OF $903.00 TO REPAIR IT. SHE TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL CHEVROLET ON A CUSTOMER'S BEHALF. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT, IF THE LETTER WERE MAILED TO ME ON NOVEMBER 1, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 150,000 MILES. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR IT. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.
