2003 GMC S UTILITY Complaints

1 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NOT WORKING 2. 70% OF THE TIME 3.BY GM NOTHING 2005 TRAILBLAZER. *TR

FUEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING CAUSING MY FUEL GAUGE TO ALWAYS SHOW E AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ALWAYS BE ON, IN ADDITION THERE ARE ANNOYING CHIMES ON A FREQUENT BASIS. THIS ISSUE BEGAN ABOUT 50,000 MILES AGO, I CURRENTLY HAVE 120,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE DEALT WITH IT FOR 3 YEARS. AS A RESULT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY CAR, I FILL UP QUITE OFTEN TO AVOID RUNNING OUT WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE OF TIMES. I PAID TO HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND THE REPAIR WAS SIMPLY TOO COSTLY FOR ME TO REPAIR IT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM LAST MONTH ADMITTING THE PART IS FAULTY BUT THEY WILL ONLY COVER 50% OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN GIVEN I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN DESERTED LOCATIONS WITHOUT A GAS STATIONS OR IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. *KB

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER NO LONGER WORKS IT STARTED FLUCTUATING AT ABOUT 109,000 MILES NOW I'M AT ABOUT 150,000 AND IT HASN'T WORKED FOR MONTHS NOW. MY WIFE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE NOW ON THE INTERSTATE AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING GOING TO WORK WITH SEMI TRUCKS BARRELING DOWN ON HER NOT KNOWING WHY SHE COULDN'T ACCELERATE. *KB

EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE. MECHANIC SAYS IN 25 YEARS HE HAS NEVER SEEN AS MANY FAILURES AS IN THESE MODELS,AS IT IS USUALLY VERY RARE FOR THEM TO FAIL. IN RESEARCHING ON LINE I HAVE FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN '03 THROUGH '08 MODEL GMC ENVOYS AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

WELL I HAVE A 2006 ENVOY, THE BATTERY HAND BOUNCES BETWEEN 0-14 VOLTS REPLACED THE BATTERY,HAD THE ALTER NATOR CHECKED AND ITS FINE. I TALKED TO THE GUY AT A GMC DEAL HE SAID ITS THE DASHBOARD SWITCHES.. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, HE SAID ITS A SENSOR OR THE DASH PANEL. WHO KNOWS. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THRU AL THIS HASSEL. I WANT MINE FIXED....... *TR

BAD 3 VEHICKLE AUTO ACCIDENT ON I-96 IN MICHIGAN. A WHITE CAR STOPPED OR STALLED IN CENTER LANE OF HIGHWAY AND WAS THEN HIT BY A GREEN CAR AND WE HIT THE GREEN CAR "HEAD ON" IN THE REAR.. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH A DIRECT HEAD ON HIT AT 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. MY TRUCK WAS A 1997 GMC JIMMY. *TT

I HAVE A 2003 YUKON DENALI AND WHEN IT HIT THE 65,000 MILES MARK THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING LEAVING ME TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAD LEFT USING THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTER TELLING YOU HOW MANY MILES TO EMPTY. NEXT THE OIL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. FINALLY REACHING 80,000 MILES MY SPEED ODOMETER QUITE WORKING LEAVING ME TO NOT KNOWING THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING THIS QUITE WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE MY RPMS ARE STARTING TO GO GOOFY WHICH MEANS THAT TO IS GOING TO STOP WORKING AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THAT HAVING MY DASH TAKEN OFF AND FIXED COULD RUN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1,000.00 NOT INCLUDING LABOR FEES. WHICH IS CRAZY THAT GMC DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ITS WORK. PEOPLE CANT AFFORD TO BE PAYING FOR THIS TO GET FIXED LET ALONE SPEEDING TICKETS. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ALL HAVING THE SAME YEAR YUKON DENALI.. YOU PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS!!! *TR

MANUFACTURER : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. COMPONENT(S) : I REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE LISTED BELOW. FIRST ISSUE: PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO MAY 2, 2011 THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO IT RIGHT AWAY. I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HOME TONIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I TURNED THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON. STILL NO LIGHTS, TURNED THEM OFF AND ON AND LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM THEN THEY CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON HOME. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. MY 1995 LINCOLN TOWN CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS SOME KIND OF RECALL HAD TO DO WITH THE AUTO TIMER. IS THERE SOME KIND OF RECALL TO FIX THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AMONGST THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ALREADY AGAINST THE 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER? *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IS READING EMPTY ALTHOUGH JUST FILLED WITH GAS. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING BUT NOW IT JUST REMAINS ON EMPTY DESPITE GAS TANK BEING FULL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED FREE OF CHANGE BECAUSE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WITH THE GAS GAUGE OF THIS CAR AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD OF NOT KNOWING WHEN YOU NEED TO REFILL, VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE LITTLE CHILDREN IN IT AND COSTLY REPAIRS. GMC MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I OWN A 2001 GMC YUKON AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ABS MODULE HAS FAILED ON IT. AFTER IT FAILS, THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN. NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT HAVE ABS, BUT THE MOTOR HEATS UP. IF YOU DON'T NOTICE IT RIGHT AWAY, IT WILL DRAIN YOUR BATTERY, LEAVE YOU STRANDED, OR WORSE. *TR
