2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS HAD A HOST OF PROBLEMS TO DATE. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING TWO MORE. TWICE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS OR BETTER WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STALLS, THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY. IF I SIT FOR A MOMENT AND THEN RESTART THE CAR, THE GAS GAUGE GOES BACK TO 1/4 FULL OR BETTER. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STALLS OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE ABS SYSTEM IS NOW COMING ON WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE HAD TROUBLE BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE ABS COMES ON AND DISENGAGES THE BRAKES AND THE CAR SKIDS AHEAD INSTEAD OF STOPPING IMMEDIATELY. WE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON OUR 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK. IT WAS FIXED UNDER RECALL, THEN STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS. WHEN WE CALLED CHEVY, THEY SAID THEY ONLY FIX UNDER RECALL ONCE. WE WERE ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE ABS. I HAVE MY SERVICE STATION LOOKING NOW TO SEE IF WE CAN DISENGAGE THE ABS ON THE TRAILBLAZER TOO. THESE CHEVYS ARE A REAL HAZARD! *TR

THERE IS A VERY BAD GAS SMELL COMING FROM MY 2002 TRAILBLAZER. FROM WHAT I'M LED TO BELIEVE IT'S THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED AS OF YET BUT I'M SURE I GOING TO HAVE TO AT MY EXPENSE. I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IF IT IS AN ERROR ON THEIR BEHAVE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'M FINDING ON THE INTERNET I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING THEY MAY HAVE MISSED. *TR

CAME HOME AFTER REFUELING MY 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LTZ W/151000MI, NOTICED STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. NEVER NOTICED BEFORE - THOUGHT I JUST SPILLED SOME. SMELL PERSISTED, LOOKED UNDER HOOD, UNDER CAR, NOTICED FUEL DRIPPING DOWN FROM FUEL TANK. CALLED GM CUST SVC 866-790-5600 WAS ADVISED THERE IS SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF PLASTIC TANK TO REMEDY CORROSION. SUPERVISOR CONFIRMED MY VIN IS IN RANGE BUT WOULD NOT HONOR WARRANTY - THEY ONLY COVER TO 10YR-120K MI. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, SO CRACK IN TANK MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT - PLASTIC TANK SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE TANK. *TR
