FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A USED 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 6CYLINDER 4W WITH THOSE156000. WELL SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT I HAD MY WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN IN A DRIVE THRU AND SMELT GAS. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER I NOTICED THAT I HAD A LEAK OF SOME SORT AND IT HAD THE GAS SMELL BUT WITHIN ANOTHER WEEK MY GAS MILEAGE PER TANK OF FUEL WENT DOWN DRASTICALLY AND I NOTICED I HAD PUDDLES UNDER MY VEHICLE INSTEAD OF A FEW DRIPS NOW. THE SMELL OF GAS IS OVERWHLMING IT GIVES ME HEADACHES WHEN I DRIVE. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO START A FIRE. IT CONSTANTLY DRIPS GAS NOW WHEN I DDRIVE YOU CAN SEEXA TRAIL LEADING TO ME. I WISH I NEVERCWOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. IT'S SO UNSAFE FOR MY CHILDREN WITH GLAD LEAKING OUT.

SO I PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN SO IT WORK AGAIN BUT THE NEEDLE TOOK 15 MINUTES TO GO UP ALL THE WAY TO FULL. AND I KNOW MY TANK WAS FULL BECAUSE I PUMP WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE. SO I KEEP DRIVING FOR 3 DAYS AND FILLED AGAIN MY TANK THE NIGHT BEFORE AND NEXT DAY I TURN ON THE CAR AGAIN THE NEDDLE WENT DOWN A QUARTER. THE MECANIC SAI WAS THE FUEL SENSOR PUMP GAS. AND I HEAR OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR COST ME 730 DOLLARS .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SOLID STATE RELAY MODULE FOR LOW BEAM - HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WAS ABLE TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS TO CONTINUE HOME, BUT NOT WITHOUT BLINDING OTHER VEHICLES. REPLACED THE SOLID STATE RELAY AT A LOCAL AUTOZONE STORE. THIS RELAY IS A SINGLE POINT FAILURE, WHICH AN UN-EXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD HAVE HAD A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IF THE PERSON DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO QUICKLY IN A CALM MANNER.

IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND WAS LOCKED TO "ON" POSITION. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE THEY INSTALLED A REPLACED THE KEY CYLINDER FOR THE COST OF $345. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE EARLIER RECALL OF OTHER GM MODELS RECALLED DUE TO IGNITION ISSUES. I DID NOT CONTACT THE DEALER AS I NEEDED TO GET IT REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
