ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE ELECTRONICS ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAVE GONE OUT WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE FUEL GAUGE. THE REPAIR ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS WAS MINIMAL BUT IT WILL COST OVER $800 TO REPAIR THE FUEL GUAGE. CHEVROLET HAS KNOWN ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS FOR YEARS BUT HAS NOT ATTEMPTED TO FIX THEM OR RECALL THE VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. FIRST THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THEN THE TIRE LIGHT. LIGHTS WOULD EITHER COME ON AND STAY ON OR BLINK, THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OFF OR WOULD CLEAR WHEN TRAILBLAZER STARTED. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PATCH FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT WAS CORRECTED, THE NEXT WEEK THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THAT I WAS STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LIGHTS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST 400.00 TO FIX. (THE AUTO WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) I ASKED DEALER WHY THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAN FIND SOMETHING NOW. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. SMELLS FISHY TO ME. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I AM NOT CERTAIN IF IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE "COMPUTER CHIP" OR THERE IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, I CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, TRACTION CONTROL OR ENGINE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO READ AS IF THE FUEL TANK WERE EMPTY. UPON REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE OPERATED NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES BEFORE READING AS IF THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 36,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE GAUGE STARTING ACTING ERRATICALLY AND NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT IS NOW EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE CAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
GAS GAUGE SENSOR ALARM SIGNALS GAUGE IS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS 3/4 FULL; HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN ANSWER AS TO WHETHER THE VEHICLE WILL BECOME DISABLED AND HAVE TO STOP TO JUST PUT IN A FEW GALLONS. THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR SIGNAL IS VERY DISTRACTING AND GOES OFF CONSTANTLY. REPAIR COST IS $400-$600 FOR THE SENSOR AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER VEHICLE OR EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY. IT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK - DID NOT GIVE ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN VEHICLE EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND WOULD DING AS IF EMPTY. TOOK CAR INTO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP & IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. GAS TANK HAD TO BE "PULLED" AND SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. WOULD HAVE COST ME $800, BUT LUCKILY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH A 2007 TRAILBLAZER - IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I READ ABOUT: GM RECALLING 1.4 MILLION VEHICLES FOR FIRE HAZARD BY PETER VALDES-DAPENA, SENIOR WRITERJUNE 9, 2010: 10:03 AM ET. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON MAY 17, 2010, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED AAA. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER, MY 3 YEAR OLD CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAD FLAMES START SHOOTING OUT OF THE HOOD. IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES SOON THEREAFTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS STEAM, SO IF A NJ FIREFIGHTER HAD NOT GRABBED ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I AM NOT QUITE SURE HOW THIS STORY WOULD HAVE ENDED... *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND BABY IT LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW. NOW EVERYTHING IS BREAKING. FIRST IT WAS THE RACKING PINION STEERING. SOME HOW THE SEAL BUSTED. SECOND, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO REGISTER EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL AND JOINT BALL WENT BAD MAKING SOME VIBRATION AND SQUEALING SOUND. I GOT THE FUEL GAUGE FIXED AND JOINT BALL, NOW THE STRUTS THAT LIFT REAR WINDOW DOESN'T WORK. I WAS SO EAGER TO GET THIS TRAILBLAZER BUT IT IS COSTING ME MORE MONEY THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE QUICKLY DROPS TO EMPTY AFTER LESS THAN 1/4 OF THE FUEL HAS BEEN USED. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING $575.00. WITH ONLY 43K MILES ON THE CAR, IT SEEMS A LITTLE PREMATURE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. *TR

AFTER FUELING OUR 2007 TRAILBLAZER, THE GAS GAUGE VERY SLOWLY STARTED TO INTERMITTENTLY GO TO EMPTY AND/OR 'DING' AND TURN ON THE LOW FUEL LIGHT. NOW, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR AND WILL COST $500-$1000 TO FIX AND THAT MANY, MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
I PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 15K IN JUNE 2008 FORM BOB BELL CHEVROLET EASTERN AVE. BALTIMORE, MD. THIS VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AND ASSURED TO BE A GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE WHICH WAS RECONDITIONED AND 117 POINT INSPECTED UNDER GM CERTIFIED USED PROGRAM. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE UNDERWENT THIS INSPECTION AS THE DEALER REPRESENTED BECAUSE A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAD BRAKE FAILURE AND TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION THAT THE DEALER REPAIRED AND ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS, ON TOP OF THAT, THE OIL WASN'T CHANGED OR AIR FILTER WHICH WAS AS BLACK AS THE STREET WHEN IT WAS CHANGED OUT. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I'M HAVING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND WAS ADVISED THAT A NOISE I WAS HEARING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP WAS MY STRUTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER PURCHASED AND ADVISED MY VEHICLE WHICH IS NOW AT 47K IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THE REPAIRS NEEDED AND I WAS GOING TO NEED TO PAY ALMOST $2000. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVEN'T HAD THIS VEHICLE THAT LONG AND MY DAD OWNS THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE WITH ZERO PROBLEMS, I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY AS GOOD AS NEW WITH THESE ISSUES. THE DEALER HASN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME AND I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE AVOIDING MY PROBLEM WHICH I BELIEVE WAS THEIR FAULT AND SHOULD BE FIXED BECAUSE THEY REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AND THIS VEHICLE TO ME AS SUCH AND THAT WAS UNDER THE CONDITION OF MY PURCHASE, CAN YOU OFFER ME ANY HELP OR ADVICE??? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILS IN SUCH A WAY AS TO INDICATE THE CAR HAS FUEL WHEN IT DOES NOT. THIS COULD RESULT IN A BREAKDOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY LEADING TO A CRASH WITH INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
