2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK.. MY MOTHER HAS RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS BECAUSE SHE HAS TO CALCULATE HER MILEAGE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT SHE HAS RECEIPTS ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH MILES AND GALLONS WRITTEN ON THEM . MY COMPLAINT IS IF THIS IS A CHEVY PROBLEM WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY HALF TO GET IT FIXED? WE ALSO OWN A CHEVY HD TRUCK WITH SAME PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I TAKE MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE OR REPAIRED PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL ME ABOUT OTHER TRAILBLAZER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT FUEL LEVELS WERE ADEQUATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. FOUND NO FUEL IN SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH FUEL INDICATOR NOTED A HALF TANK. A WEEK AFTER THIS THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON 15 MILES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE AND WILL NOT GO OFF. WE NOW HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF FUEL BY USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS STARTING TO FLUCTUATE. I JUST FILLED IT UP AND WHEN I GO DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL GO DOWN AT LEAST A QUARTER OF A TANK AND WHEN I STOP AND LET IT RUN IDLE FOR AWHILE IT WILL GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS. IT JUST STARTED THIS PAST WEEK. FROM WHAT I AM READING, IT WON'T BELONG BEFORE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER BUNCH OF MONEY INTO IT. LAST MONTH I HAD TO PUT A NEW THROTTLE BODY ON IT BECAUSE THE SENSORS WENT BAD AND WITH THIS YEAR THE SENSORS ARE IN THE THROTTLE BODY, SO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. AS I WAS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE PART FOR THE SEAT CONTROLS ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SEAT JUST BUSTED OFF. EVERYTIME IT GETS COLDER OUT, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM WON'T STAY ON. IT WAS ALWAYS OFF IN THE WINTER TIME, NEVER WORKED. WHEN LIVING IN MICHIGAN AND GETTING LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALOT OF THE TIME, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. BEEN BUYING THEM AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, MORE AND MORE OF THE NEWER VEHICLES HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS. I DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE AND TAKE DAYS OFF OF WORK TO GET THEM FIXED. NO THANK YOU. *TR

OVER THE PAST MONTH THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. I PUT GAS IN MY CAR AND THE GAGE MOVES UP THEN GOES BACK DOWN TO EMPTY IN SECONDS. EVERYDAY I HAVE TO PUT AT LEAST 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN MY SUV TO KEEP IT FROM STOPPING ON A STREET OR FREEWAY BECAUSE I'M OUT OF GAS. IT'S HARD TO JUDGE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRAILBLAZER!WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY SUV THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT STAY NOR MOVE ON THE PROPER GALLONS OF GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FULL OF GASOLINE HOWEVER, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY REGISTER THE FUEL TANK AS BEING EMPTY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT SELF DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING A FAULTY FUEL LINE. THE CONTACT HAD TO REFUEL IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS FUEL ALREADY IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 TRAILBLAZER IN SEPTEMBER 2012. I WAS SO EXCITED, BUT A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THE DRIVER DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR STOPPED WORKING. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS YET AND ARE CONTINUING TO TELL ME THIS. THEY WANTED OVER $500 TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR ME. WHEN I LOOKED I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS ITEM, BUT STILL CHEVY KEEPS TELLING ME THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL. I AM SCARED AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO A POSSIBLE FIRE. *TR

LEFT HOME FOR A LOCAL STORE (APPROX 2MILES AWAY) AND FUEL GAUGE READ 1 NOTCH UNDER FULL. LEFT STORE AND DROVE APPROX. 1/2 MILE, FUEL GAUGE GRADUALLY DROPPED TO 3/4 FULL. CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND IN ANOTHER 1/2 MILE FUEL GAUGE GRADUALLY DROPPED FROM 3/4 TO 1/2 FULL. DROVE ANOTHER 1 1/2 MILE TO GAS STATION AND ADDED 2.75 GALLONS OF 87 REG GAS.

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AT 9PM ON A UNLIGHTED, REMOTE HIGHWAY THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS IN THE AUTOMATIC POSITION. I TRIED ALL HEADLIGHT SWITCH POSITIONS AND DETERMINED THAT ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS WORKED. I DID NOT TRY THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH. I WAS BEHIND A LARGE TRUCK WHICH I FOLLOWED SINCE THERE WAS NO LOCATION TO SAFELY STOP. I PLANNED TO FOLLOW THIS TRUCK TO THE NEXT TOWN ABOUT 6 MILES AWAY. AFTER ABOUT 4 MILES THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I HAD NOT NOTICED ANY OTHERS ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS IN THE PAST. I HAVE LEFT THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE AUTOMATIC POSITION ALL THE TIME. *TR
