SEAT BELTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE "NEW", I'VE REPLACED THE DRIVE LIGHTS THREE TIMES FOR BURNED CABLES ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELTS LOCKS WHILE IN MOTION. MY LOCAL DEALER INFORMED ME THAT, THAT WAS TYPICAL OF THE PASSENGER SAFETY DEVICE.....AS A PASSENGER, ONCE YOU SET DOWN AND PUT THE SEATBELT ON, IT LOCKS, HOLDING YOU TOO TIGHT, AND VIRTUALLY CHOKING THE PASSENGER!! ALL OTHER SEATBELTS WORKS FINE. AND STILL FUNCTIONS THE SAME TO THIS DAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING ON FLORENCE BLVD MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE OIL GAUGE WASNT REGISTERING BUT THE OTHERS WERE WORKING OK. NOW ALL OF THEM DO NOT WORK EXCEPT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE ONE OR TWO OF THEM MIGHT START WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN THEY WILL STOP WORKING. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY LET FAULTY PRODUCTS GO THRU QC NOW THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER WINDOW WAS DOWN APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL PARTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL WORK. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT SENT THE RECALL NOTICE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE RECALL PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE FALL. SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE 100.00 TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS. CALLED ANOTHER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS, IF INDEED THE RECALL IS THE PROBLEM. THE WINDOW WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN BY ITSELF, WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, TODAY. THERE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR. I WILL HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR OUTSIDE, BECAUSE THE RECALL SAYS DO NOT PARK IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF A FIRE, WITH THE WINDOW DOWN ALL NIGHT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT.... SO IT GOES, I WAS PREPARING FOR MY LONG ROAD TRIP TO YOSEMITE, AND HAD JUST FUELED UP. ONCE I TURNED ON THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE MOVING RANDOMLY, BACK AND FORTH. IT THEN STAYED ON EMPTY. WELL I CALLED OUR MECHANIC SINCE WE WERE LEAVING ON A ROAD TRIP AND HE RECOMMENDED I FILL UP AT EVERY 200 MILES TO BE SAFE. AFTER I WAS TOLD OF THE EXPENSE TO FIX IT, I CONTINUE TO PROLONG THE REPAIR AND DECIDED TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THIS SITUATION. I AM BAFFLED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL BY GM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND JUST TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THEIR MECHANIC TO FIX. SHOULD EVERYONE BE REPORTING THE INCIDENT WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN THIS TO TURN INTO A RECALL. WELL IN HOPES THAT MY COMPLAINT HELPS...HERE IT GOES. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SUCKS NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU REALLY HAVE. *TR
