FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER 50,000 MILES GAS TANK SENSOR STOPS WORKING. THEREFORE THE GAS LIGHT REMAINS LIT EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL - THIS ALSO CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (RESULTING IN A FAILED INSPECTION). PER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 50K MILES. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE GAS TANK AND SENSOR (EVERY 50K MILES). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SMELLED GAS AND NOTICED PUDDLE UNDER VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO DEALER TO HAVE INSPECTED FOR ANY DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. I WAS CHARGED $49.73 TO BE TOLD THAT I HAD A FUEL LEAK AND TO REPAIR IT I WOULD BE CHARGED $1897.00 EVEN THOUGH CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #05012 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE AND THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED FOR NO CHARGE BUT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER FOR 10 YRS. OR 120,000 MILES. BUT SINCE I AM A LITTLE OVER ON BOTH ITEMS THEY WILL COVER NOTHING AND WANT ME TO PAY THE ENTIRE AMOUNT TO WHICH I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MILES SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR A DEFECTIVE PART AND SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT IN FEBRUARY 2013. THAT WINTER I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE RISING ABOVE WHATEVER SPEED I WAS GOING. I TOOK A PICTURE OF IT SAYING I WAS DRIVING 120 MPH WHEN I CLEARLY WASN'T. SO I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM!! I CALLED CHEVYS CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMED THIS WAS HER FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT THIS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME. I CONTACTED THEM VIA FACEBOOK AND STILL NOT WILLING TO HELP. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE TO USE AN APP ON MY PHONE TO KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THE $500-$800 THAT IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT IS A MALFUNCTION ON CHEVYS BEHALF!! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY'RE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS WHEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY OR GM AGAIN!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE WILL SURGE OR JUMP AS MUCH AS 2000 RPM'S AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE ON THE BRAKE TO HOLD IT. GO TO NEUTRAL LET IT REV THEN IT WILL COME BACK TO NORMAL. THE LAST TIME WAS ON A SNOW PACKED INTERSECTION WITH TWO OTHER VEHICLES IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE BAD THING IS YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO DO IT. HAD IT TO SEVERAL GARAGES AND NOBODY CAN DUPLICATE IT AND IT SHOWS NO CODES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT CLOSE TO MY HOUSE WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF COMPLETELY. I TRIED SWITCHING THEM ON AND OFF WITH THE SWITCH TO NO AVAIL, BUT FOUND THAT THE HIGH BEAMS DO WORK. THERE WERE MANY INSTANCES IN THE PAST WHERE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THOUGHT THAT THE LIGHTS HAD FLICKERED, BUT WASN'T COMPLETELY SURE UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TODAY, AND THE WOMAN TOLD ME THAT SHE COULD NOT FIND A RECALL OR EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AFTER I TOLD HER THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS MY GAS GAUGE READS 0. AFTER DRIVING 40 - 80 MI. IT SLOWLY COMES BACK, BUT READS INCORRECTLY FOR A FEW MILES. BY THE TIME ITS NEARING 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK IS SEEMS OK. I REALLY THINK ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT QUITS ALTOGETHER. I DON'T TRUST AND USE MY ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE MY GAS LEVEL. *TR

FIRST MY TEMP GAUGE STARTED READING INCORRECTLY. THE NEEDLE WOULD POINT WAY OUTSIDE THE NORMAL RANGE OF THE GAUGE, OFTEN STRAIGHT DOWNWARD. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. AT A FULL STOP IT SAYS I'M GOING BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR (SEVERAL REPAIRS PER WEEK) AND YET THERE'S NO RECALL? *TR
