2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Driving vehicle turn it off turn back on drive somewhere and turn it off and go swimming for an hour came back go to go start it and would not start I believe it's the anti-theft system as we replaced the ignition switch and the ignition cylinder but my illumination selector for my gear selector nor my tachometer works nor do my front two windows or locks

FUEL GAUGE CONSISTENTLY SHOWED "EMPTY" AND EXTERNAL LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS VERY DIM. LACK OF AWARENESS OF FUEL STATUS LED TO BREAKDOWN ON HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD AND DIM HAZARD LIGHTS CONTRIBUTED TO POOR VISIBILITY AND A FATAL ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE GAS SENSOR IN MY GAS TANK IS FAULTY. CHEVROLET ADMITTED TO THIS BY OFFERING A PARTIAL COVERAGE ON THE REPAIR BUT NOW THAT PROGRAM HAS ENDED. I️ AM FORCED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR IN ITS ENTIRETY TO THE TUNE OF $1,000. CHEVY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND EXPIRED THE PROGRAM TO HELP COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE PART.?

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL FLOAT SENSOR, WHICH WAS REGISTERING THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE GAS TANK WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. 7 DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY FREEWAY, ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. I HAD TO MEREGE ACROSS 4 LANES ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND NEARLY GOT RUN OVER. NO POWER TO THE ENGINE AT ALL - IT JUST DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. OF COURSE, ONSTAR AND THE CHEVROLET DEALER THAT PERFORMED ALL OF THE SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE WERE NO HELP. WHILE WAITING FOR ONSTAR, MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED OFF THE FREEWAY.

Mileage: 167,200

GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING,FUEL SENSOR RECALL WAS ISSUED A FEW YEARS BACK, VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED BUT NOW RECALL DOES NOT SHOW UP AT THE DEALERS.

I FILLED UP MY TANK YESTERDAY. ONE HOUR LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND THE FUEL GUAGE READ ZERO, WITH LOW FUEL INDICATOR ON. NOW IT'S INTERMITTENT, NEVER GOING ABOVE 3/4 FULL. I HAVE PRINTED OUT THE NHTSA'S INVESTIGATIONS NUMBER DP 10-001AND PE 11-014. I HAVE HEARD THAT GM IS WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR 1/2 PRICE. WHAT IS 1/2 PRICE? 1/2 OF WHAT?

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATING EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP ALTHOUGH ITS NOT... I HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I SPENT $900.00 (AT THE TIME) ON AN ACDELCO FUEL SENDING UNIT AND REPLACED THE PART... IT WORKED FOR SOMETIME, HOWEVER, HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER AND ITS HAPPENING AGAIN...I DON'T HAVE $900.00 TO REPLACE THE PART AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKILY IT WASN'T TO BUSY, BUT BUSY ENOUGH AT THE TIME OF 9:30AM IN THE MORNING ON A MONDAY) DOING ABOUT 55MPH, GIVE OR TAKE, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE COOPERATION OF A STATE TROOPER TO SIT WITH ME UNTIL SOMEONE COULD BRING ME GAS. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS A GAS ISSUE DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP ONCE I PUT A FEW GALLONS IN THE TRUCK.. *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING FROM SPOKANE, WA TO PORTLAND, OR, WHEN WE GOT TO RICHLAND, WA THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND GAVE US A CODE FOR A FAULTY PEDAL SENSOR. WE ERASED THE CODE AND TURNED THE TRAILBLAZER ON AND IT CAME BACK ON IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WE READ ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRAILBLAZER SS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUES AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR AND THEY ARE GETTING THEIRS REPLACED. I TALKED TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET AND CAMP CHEVROLET HERE IN SPOKANE, WA AND THEY BOTH HAVE HEARD OF THE RECALL AND THE ISSUE BUT SINCE IT WON'T SHOW UP UNDER MY VIN NUMBER THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL. THEY WON'T 100 TO 150 TO DIAGNOSE WHEN IT TOOK ME 5 SECONDS AND THEY WANT US TO PAY ABOUT 600+ DOLLARS FOR AN REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE FREE. I READ ABOUT THE SENSOR AND OUR TRUCK IS DOING EVERYTHING IT SAYS IT WILL DO. WHEN YOU ARE AT A LIGHT AND GO TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL IT BOGGS DOWN LIKE ABOUT TO DIE THEN LUNGES FORWARD AND SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN GEAR 1 OR 2. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS AND HELP US GET THE DEALERSHIP TO WORK WITH US. IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN ANY MOMENT. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD!!! *TR

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE WITH 12 GALLONS OF GAS, (FILLING IT UP FROM HALF A TANK) THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE OUT OF FUEL / LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE IN TRAFFIC DRIVING IT HOME, BUT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AS TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS EVERY 50K MILES "GIVE OR TAKE" AND THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED. IN LOOKING ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS IS INDEED A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS RESULTED IN CRASHES AND OTHER SAFETY ISSUES AND HAS BEEN IGNORED BY GM AND THE NHTSA FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW DESPITE THE CONSTANTLY GROWING NUMBER OF CLAIMS. THE DEALER STATED IT WOULD COST "SOMEWHERE AROUND $900" TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I TOLD THEM WHAT I THOUGHT OF THAT, BOUGHT THE DELPHI REPLACEMENT UNIT MYSELF FOR $200 AND MADE THE REPAIRS ON MY OWN. HOWEVER GM IS GOING TO BE GETTING A BILL FOR THIS FROM MY LAWYERS. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2015; I STARTED MY CAR UP TO LET IT WARM UP WHILE I DUSTED OFF THE SNOW. I NOTICE MY HEATED SEATS WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AS SOON AS I RESTARTED IT THE CAR BEGAN TO BACKFIRE AND STALE. IT WOULD START BUT THEN STALE OUT. I HAD TO GET THE TRUCKED TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC. I PICK UP MY TRUCK THAT EVENING AND IT RAN FINE. THE NEXT MORNING THURSDAY JANUARY 22, I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HOWEVER, EVERY STOP I CAME TO THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THEN WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT THE NEXT STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL I WAS DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC. AGAIN THAT EVENING I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FRIDAY JANUARY 23, I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC. HE KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAY. I FINALLY PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY JANUARY 24 AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE IS STUMPED. IT DROVE GREAT AFTER PICKING IT UP. THEN THIS MORNING JANUARY 25, AS I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, MY CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN TWO HILLS. THEN IT STALED 2 MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS A RED LIGHTS. I NEARLY MISSED TWO ACCIDENTS. BY DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL THE LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM. I CALLED CHEVY DIRECTLY AND THEY TOO ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I EVEN FOUND COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITE. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY DRIVERS DOOR FOR A PART THAT CATCHES FIRE, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE TRUCK JUST SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN MOTION. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. *TR

IN LIEU OF ALL THE CURRENT RECALLS APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE, NON OF WHICH AFFECT MINE. THE ONE RECALL THAT GM SHOULD BE ISSUING, I HAVE YET TO SEE, WHICH IN MY CONCERN COULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY MATTER. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE PART AND/OR SYSTEM. QUOTING GM'S CLAIM ON THE RECALL NOTICE IN MY POSSESSION..." GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2006 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. AS A RESULT, GM IS CONDUCTING A SAFETY RECALL. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE. HOWEVER, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY AND CONTINUED SATISFACTION WITH OUR PRODUCTS. " CAREFUL REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION ON THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, *TR

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

Mileage: 51,000

UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL THE DEALER REPLACED A PART IN THE FUEL TANK AND TRIED TO SELL US A FUEL PUMP AT THE SAME TIME. MY WIFE NOW TELLS ME THAT SINCE THIS SERVICE SHE HAS OCCASIONALLY SMELLED GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND AT TIMES QUITE STRONG. AT FIRST SHE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUMES FROM OTHER VEHICLES. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ALOT, SO IT HAS NOT BEEN NOTICED BY ME. IS IT BECAUSE OF A COMPLETE FILL UP OR IS IT BECAUSE THERE IS A SEAL NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THERE BE GASOLINE FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH TELLS ME THAT ANY SPARK OF ANY KIND COULD IGNITE THOSE FUMES.

MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WENT OUT. WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK THE GAS GAUGE REMAINS AT EMPTY. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY MATTER. I CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY CAR WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING GAS GAUGE. IF MY CAR RUNS OUT OF FUEL AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS IT WOULD BE TOTALLY AVOIDABLE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE NTSB OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BUT FAILED TO ACT. I WOULD BE OK WITH PAYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE IF IT WAS A RARE OCCURRENCE BUT CLEARLY THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND GM AND NTSB ARE AWARE. NTSB WOULD BE COMPLICIT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING TO PROTECT THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE ROAD. IF THE NTSB CANNOT MAKE GM RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM THAN I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE NTSB DOES AND I WOULD ADVOCATE NOT FUNDING THIS ENTITY. PLEASE ACT ON THIS MATTER AND MAKE GM RECALL AND REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2014, AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30 A.M. WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER EXT CAUGHT ON FIRE. WE BOTH SMELLED SMOKE, PARKED (DIDN'T TURN OFF THE IGNITION) AND FLAMES BEGAN TO SHOOT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE GOT OUT AND RAN TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AS THE FIRE ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT MOTOR AREA. MY PURSE WAS STILL IN THE BURNING VEHICLE AND I TOLD MY HUSBAND HE RAN BACK TO THE BURNING VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE IT. HE SUSTAINED BURNS TO HIS HANDS, FACE, LEGS AND FEET. IN ADDITION HE RECEIVED SMOKE INHALATION TO A DEGREE OF A "BLACK OUT" STAGE. WE WITNESSED THE TIRES BURN UP ONE AFTER ANOTHER, BEGINNING WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE, THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE REAR DRIVER'S AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE - AT THIS POINT WE MOVED FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BURNING VEHICLE AS WE EXPECTED THE CAR TO EXPLODE ONCE IT REACHED THE GAS TANK AREA, BUT SOMEHOW THE GAS TANK DIDN'T EXPLODE. IN FACT, THE SPARE TIRE WHICH SITS UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK RECEIVED A SLIGHT SINGE AND DID NOT BURN (ALONG WITH THE GAS TANK). THE ONLY WARNING WE HAD WAS THE "SMELL OF SMOKE" - THE TRAILBLAZER'S DASH WARNING LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR TO INDICATE ANYTHING WAS WRONG. IN ADDITION, ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 25, 2014, ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER (SAME AREA) ALSO BURNT UP (AS REPORTED BY BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT). *TR

ON 11 FEB 2013, I WAS GETTING GAS WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN ACTING CRAZY. IT WOULD GO TO FULL THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER GO TO EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT WOULD GO ON. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I SHOULD GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SEE THERE IS AN OPEN ACTION ON THIS #DP10001. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS HOW DO I GET THIS LETTER, I SEE OTHERS COMMENTS WHICH STATE IF YOUR VEHICLE IS OVER 120,000 MILES THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. MY VEHICLE IS NOW OVER 120,000 MILES BUT WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED IT WAS NOT. HOW DO I GET THIS RECALL INITIATED? PLEASE HELP. *TR

BOUGHT USED, MILEAGE INDICATED ABOVE. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING AN APPROXIMATE PROPER AMOUNT AT 1/4 TANK. ON FIRST FUEL UP, FULL, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO SHOW "EMPTY". IT STAYED LIKE THIS FOR AN APPROX. 1/4 TANK, THEN WENT TO THE ACTUAL FUEL AMOUNT. THIS OCCURRED FOR ABOUT THE NEXT 5 FILL UPS, THEN THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL....ALWAYS SHOWING EMPTY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME RUNNING OUT OF FUEL TWICE, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE SAFELY, BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE FOUND NO RECALLS, BUT MANY COMPLAINTS!

I STOPPED TO FILL MY CAR WITH GAS AS I WAS ON A LITTLE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK. THE FUEL LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON, NOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY WITH FUEL, I GOT IN THE CAR AND THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE NEEDLE WOULDN'T LEAVE EMPTY. IT STAYED THIS WAY FOR ABOUT A MILE TILL I GOT HOME. I SHUT MY CAR OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES THINKING THAT IT MUST PLAY "CATCH UP," BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WENT TO FULL IMMEDIATELY, BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL, AND GOES ON AND OFF, WHICH I SUSPECT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL SITES, WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I AM NOW HAVING TO SET MY TRIP METER SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS TILL I GET IT FIXED. HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. AT FIRST IT DROPPED TO EMPTY, AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 MILES THE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY RETURN TO THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. OVER TIME, THE PROBLEM WORSENED, AS IT STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER FOR THE GAUGE TO RECOVER TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY NEARLY PERMANENTLY, ONLY OCCASIONALLY REGISTERING SOME FUEL AT STARTUP AND QUICKLY DROPPING TO EMPTY AGAIN. *TR

I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MFG THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, HOWEVER BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFETY CONCERN THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 50% OF THE COST TO FIX THE ISSUE. LAST TIME I CHECKED RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IS A SAFTEY ISSUE, NOT JUST TO THE PERSON DRIVING THE VEHICLE BUT TO OTHERS THAT MAY BE DRIVING BEHIND SAID VEHICLE THAT RUNS OUT OF FUEL. I HAVE NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE AS I DONT FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TOO, I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THESE ISSUES FIXED. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED CAR FROM EZ CARS & CREDIT LOCATED IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA BECAUSE THEY HAD SOME VERY GOOD REVIEWS. I COULD OF BOUGHT A CAR FROM A PRIVATE OWNER BUT I DECIDED TO GO WITH A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FIGURED THAT THE LAW WOULD PROTECT ME AND THEY COULD NOT SALE ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED AN SUV, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 2006 ON 2/07/2013 AND AFTER TAKING THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. THE MANAGER [XXX] SAID IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FIXED IN LIKE 5 MINUTES AND THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUSES BEING REPLACED BUT HIS SERVICE TECHNICIAN LEFT FOR THE DAY SO I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN TOMORROW. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR [XXX], I WAS TOLD BY THE SALES MANAGER WHO'S NAME IS [XXX], THAT [XXX] WAS ON VACATION FOR 1 WEEK IN MEXICO. I EXPLAINED THE AIRBAG SITUATION AND[XXX]SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR [XXX] TO RETURN FROM MEXICO. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER DRIVING WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON, NOT KNOWING IF MY KIDS, HUSBAND OR MYSELF WERE SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE BUT WE SPENT ALL OUR MONEY TO PURCHASE THIS CAR. WE HERE FROM [XXX] SO I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, [XXX] HAD THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON TODAY! I CONTACTED [XXX] AND TOLD HIM I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICKUP MY CAR, MR. [XXX] HE WAS AT THE OFFICE, NOW WHEN I PICK UP MY CAR, I GET MY KEYS FROM THE OWNER OF THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP NEXT DOOR. HE DOESN'T EVEN WORK FOR THE DEALERSHIP!

AFTER REFUELING THE GAS GAUGE STILL READ EMPTY, BOUNCED UP AND DOWN, GAS GAUGE LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF CAR, TURNED ON CAR- SAME THING - HAS HAPPENED WITH EVERY REFUELING SINCE. ONLY WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN CAR IS TO WATCH AND RESET TRIPOMETER- WHICH DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN WITH VARIOUS FAMILY MEMBERS- MAKING IT UNSAFE FOR LONG DISTANCE HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY TRAVEL SINCE YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE GAS GAUGE, OR EVEN KNOW IF SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING OTHER THAN GAS GAUGE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, AS I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMPS, THE GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY, LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON. I PULLED INTO PARKING LOT; THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND REFUSED TO START FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER A DAY OR TWO, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED FULL, BUT IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND 1/2 ALL OF THE TIME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK! I AM AFRAID TO GO OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE OF THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON. I NOW HAVE TO RELY ON MY TRIP METER BEING ON DISPLAY CONSTANTLY SO I CAN ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT.

INITIALLY THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THEN, IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IT ALWAYS SAYS THE VEHICLE IS ON EMPTY WITH THE GAS LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYING ON 90% OF THE TIME. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IF THERE WERE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, I WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER THE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE FUEL SENSOR OR BECAUSE OF ANOTHER MORE SERIOUS ISSUE. I ALSO MUST RELY ON THE "TRIP METER" TO DETERMINE MY FUEL LEVEL. I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND WOULD HOPE CHEVY WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT A SEVERAL TIMES INTO A CHEVORLET DEALER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND IT CAUSES A FAILURE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE LOSSES 90% OF POWER . THE FAILURE HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIME AND ALL WEATHER AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD IT AT TWO DEALERS AS WELL HAVE CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE DEPT. THEY HAVE CLAIMED TO BE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT STILL FAILS. THE ISSUE AT HAND IS THAT IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS THIS FAILURE PROVES TO BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ITS NOT A USED CAR ISSUE AS ITS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO HAVE A GM FIELD TECH COME LOOK AT THE CAR BUT, THEY INSIST THAT THE DEALER FIX IT. I NEED SOMEONE MORE TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE COMES WITH AT GREAT RISKS OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. IF YOU GOGGLE THIS PROBLEM YOU WILL SEE OTHERS HAVE THE ISSUE AND I THINK ITS WORTH A RECALL IF THEY CAN FIND A FIX FOR IT BUT AFTER 3 YEARS AND SEVERAL TRIES THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM SENDING UNIT APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. FUEL GAUGE SWINGS ERRATICALLY, AND HAS NO RELATION TO THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO SIGNAL FROM FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH-HOUR. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED. CHEVROLET HAS AGREED TO PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE COST OF REPAIR. UNACCEPTABLE. I REQUEST THAT YOU REOPEN YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND MAKE CHEVROLET TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, AS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAN BE A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING EVENT. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE, ALTHOUGH SOME OWNERS ARE CLAIMING TO HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND STAYS ON EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES AND MILES BUT I HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES WHERE MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP. FIRST TIME I HAD THE ISSUE FIXED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, THEN MAYBE A YEAR LATER IT BROKE AGAIN. I HAVE NOT GONE TO FIX IT. DUE TO THE GAUGE NEVER SHOWING GAS IN THE VEHICLE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DRIVE ABOUT 200 MILES UNTIL I GO AND FILL WHICH WOULD BE AROUND 1/2 A TANK. I CANNOT GO ON LONG TRIPS AS I WOULD NEVER KNOW WHERE I AM ON GAS. ONE TIME BREAKING I CAN SEE SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT A 2ND TIME AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT SEEMS LIKE REALLY FAULTY PARTS OR DEALERSHIP ERRORS. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED BETWEEN $300-$500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOT BY A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MANY ISSUES WHERE I PURCHASED THIS TRAILBLAZER. I DON'T KNOW IF CHEVY WOULD FIX THIS AGAIN AT THEIR COST AND I WOULD HOPE THIS BECOMES A RECALL AFTER NEARLY 1,000,000 COMPLAINTS. *TR

I START THE CAR AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS, AS I START DRIVING THE GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY GO TO THE EMPTY LINE AND START DINGING THAT I HAVE NO FUEL. ONCE IT SHOWED THAT I HAD A HALF A TANK OF GAS, BUT THEN I SUDDENLY RAN OUT. I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY TWO CHILDREN UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. THIS GAUGE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED DAILY SINCE DAY ONE. I AM NOW RELYING ON MY TRIP METER TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. I LIKE THIS VEHICLE BUT IF THIS CONTINUES WITH NO HELP FROM CHEVY/ GM I WILL BE FORCED TO TRADE THIS CAR IN! *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP, MY 2006 TBSS FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FILL UP WITH NON-ETHANOL GAS PREMIUM GRADE. THE LOW FUEL MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH ALONG WITH THE NEEDLE SITTING ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT REMAINS ON. I HAVE READ OVER 250 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

GAS GAUGE SHOWING MORE FUEL THAN IN TANK....I RAN OUT OF GAS ....CAR SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. GAS GAUGE WOULD FLOAT FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND STOP ALONG THE WAY, SO YOU DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAD. THEN IT JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. *TR

Mileage: 95,000

RECENTLY, I FILLED MY GAS TANK & LOW FUEL LIGHT WARNING DISPLAYED AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON STEADY (NOT BLINKING) MOST OF THE TIME. THE FUEL GAUGE FLOATS BACK AND FORTH NEVER REALLY LETTING YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE STATUS. THE DEALERS AND PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE- YET CHEVY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE PRODUCT. IT IS FRUSTRATING & NERVE WRACKING TO NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AS WELL AS THE CONSTANT WARNING LIGHTS/ CHIMES DURING DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND SERIOUS ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE- JUST A MONTH BEFORE HAD TO REPAIR SAFETY ISSUE OF STABILITRAK TURNING ON AT RANDOM, AFTER TWICE IT SLOWED MY VEHICLE- WITHOUT WARNING- ON THE THRUWAY FROM 55 MPH TO ABOUT 20 MPH. I HAD DOCUMENTATION OF 4 TRIPS TO DEALER FOR THIS CONCERN WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP BUT "THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW A PROBLEM" SO 5 YEARS LATER I FINALLY HAD THE CODE SHOW UP AFTER A CLOSE CALL ALMOST ACCIDENT. THIS CONCERN IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL & EVEN WITH CONTACTING CHEVROLET & THE NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL THEY STILL ONLY COVERED HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT UNLESS RECALLS ARE MANDATED- I URGE YOU TO DO JUST THAT. THANK YOU *TR

THE PROBLEMS JUST BEGAN WITH MY CAR WITH THE GAS GAUGE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND WITH IN 2 WEEKS I HAD TO CHANGE THE DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT WHICH WAS NOT ONLY BURNED OUT BUT THE HOUSING WAS MELTED TO THE BULB. NEXT WITHIN A WEEKS TIME I WAS IN THE DRIVE THRU GETTING FOOD AND ALL THE GAUGES JUST FLASHED AND THE CAR DIED. UPON TRYING TO RESTART IT SEVERAL TIMES THE LIGHTS FLASHED OFF AND ON; THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THEMSELVES AND THEIR WAS NOT EVEN ENOUGH POWER TO CALL ONSTAR. CHECK FUSES FOUND NO PROBLEMS. STILL WAITING DIAGNOSIS AND GETTING IT FIXED. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OTHER TRAILBLAZERS OF THE SAME YEAR. THE FUEL SENSOR IS BAD IN THIS MODEL, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO DUE TO THIS. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT WOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED!!!! *TR

SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN. ENGINE STOPPED. FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK. FUEL GAUGE INACCURATE. HAD IT CHANGED ($450.00), SENDING UNIT IN FUELPUMP. JULY 1,2012.SAME THING. REPAIRS WERE LESS BY $175.00 BECAUSE THE SHOP I DEAL WITH (I AM A GOOD CUSTOMER) FELT I NEEDED A BREAK, AND DID NOT CHARGE TO REPLACE IT THE SECOND TIME. WHEN WE PICKED THE VEHICLE UP THE AC / VENT DOES NOT OPEN FOR THE DASH PORTS. ALL OTHER PORTS, IE FLOOR, DEFROST, WORK SOMEWHAT. THIS MORNING THE WHOLE BLOWER QUIT. I WENT OUT THIS AFTERNOON AND THE BLOWER AGAIN BLOWS,BUT NOT THE DASH VENTS....ARGGGGGGGG IS THERE ANY SOLUTION? *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ONE CODE P0461 - FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS AND SHOULD BE A RECALLABLE ISSUE.

GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES, FILLED GAS TANK, MOMENTS LATER IT WENT DOWN TO EMPTY (WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND WENT OFF). THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST WEEK. PRIOR TO THIS THE CHECK ENGINE WOULD SPORADICALLY GO OFF AND ON, PROBABLY AN EARLY INDICATOR THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. PROBLEM HAS CAUSED MY FAMILY TO BE STRANDED ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT WHILE I AM AT WORK AND I HAVE TO GO HELP THEM THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. GM ONLY WANTS TO PAY FOR PART OF THE REPAIR,WHICH IS NOT RIGHT AS THE ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
