STARTED DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED FULL, THEN DROPPED TO EMPTY (LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON) AND THEN THE TANK WENT BACK UP TO FULL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. AFTER A FILLUP, I DROVE TO WORK, WHEN I DROVE HOME LATER, THE GAS GAUGE READ NEAR EMPTY. I THOUGHT SOMEONE STOLE GAS FROM MY TANK. I GET OFF WORK AT MIDNIGHT AND LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, SO I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS BEFORE I GOT HOME. (THERE ARE NO GAS STATIONS ON MY ROUTE). NEXT DAY I GOT A CAN OF GAS TO FILL THE TANK ENOUGH TO GET ME TO A STATION, AND I FOUND THE TANK TO BE FULL. SINCE THEN THE GAUGE HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND EMPTY ACTIVATING THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING AND I WON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT NOW. ASKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AND GM WILL PAY HALF REPAIR COST. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE HELP LINE CONFIRMED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT HALF PRICE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO GET REPAIRS DONE WHEN THEY ARE ADMITTING IT IS DEFECTIVE?. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW SWITCH MODULE FAILED INCREMENTLY STARTING WITH THE WINDOWS THEN DOOR AND WINDOW LOCKS.THIS FAILURE OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY WEEK, ENDING WITH A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SWITCH MODULE. AT AROUND THE SAME TIME THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO SHOW EMPTY AFTER FILLING UP ALONG WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT. THE WINDOW SWITCH'S ON THE OTHER DOORS REMAIN OPERATIONAL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DRIVER HAS NO CONTROL OF DOORS OR WINDOWS WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CHEVY DEALER SAYS THIS WINDOW SWITCH IS 426 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IS ANOTHER 450 DOLLARS. FROM WHAT I GATHER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAIL BLAZER WITH NO OFFER BY GM TO REPLACE KNOWN DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE WERE NO FIRES OR INJURIES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH (FOOT NOT ON THE GAS, GOING DOWNHILL) THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. WAS APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT AND BRAKE TO STOP. AFTER TRUCK CAME TO FULL STOP DUE TO ME BRAKING FOR LIGHT ANYHOW, BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD, UNABLE TO PUSH DOWN OR PUMP. STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED SINCE GAS TANK WAS FULL, I SHUT KEY (TRUCK) OFF, AND ON WAITED TILL LIGHT TURNED GREEN, IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT THANK GOODNESS. WHY THE COMPLETE POWERFAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, I HAVE HEARD THIS COULD BE ONSTAR RELATED, EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT SIGNED UP AS A CUSTOMER, IF A TRAILBLAZER 07 IS STOLEN OR IN AN ACCIDENT, I HEARD THE ONSTAR FEATURES CONFUSION W/ SATELLITE AND CAUSES THEM ALL TO SHUT DOWN. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE, BUT SOMETHING WENT WAY WRONG, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR I'D BE SUING BIGTIME. TODAY IS 10-12-12, YESTERDAY GOT A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR DOOR/WINDOWS/LOCKS PROBLEM. THEY WILL FIX FOR FREE HOWEVER NO PARTS TO REPLACE ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, REALLY??? WOW. *TR
