2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MY TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK HANDLE WAS RUSTED OFF (KIND OF HARD TO REMOVE IT). I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE THAT REPLACES THEM EITHER.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW FUEL SENSOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED.THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW FUEL SENSOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING THE INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS AN EXTREMELY INACCURATE READING, OR DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. *TR

WHEN MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, IT SHOWED I HAD FUEL IN MY TANK, TURNS OUT I DID NOT. I RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE ON AN INTERSTATE IN MAINE..IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, AT NIGHT, ON ICY ROADS, TRAVELING AT APPROX 35 MILES AN HOUR. AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF FUEL, THE POWER STEERING & BRAKING SHUT DOWN AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AS WELL AS VERY DANGEROUS... ESPECIALLY ON ICY ROADS IN MAINE IN JANUARY. I AM A YOUNG LADY AND HAPPENED TO BE ALL ALONE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND NOT TO MENTION I WAS ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST GAS STATION.. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS NOT HAPPY. I WASN'T ABOUT TO HIKE THE INTERSTATE, BY MYSELF IN FREEZING COLD WEATHER AT NIGHT.. I DO NOT HAVE A DEATH WISH. ALTHOUGH I HAD TO SIT IN MY VEHICLE, WHERE I HAD NO HEAT, DUE TO NO FUEL, AND WAIT FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR MY DAD TO COME RESCUE ME. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, AND IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM, BECAUSE AS YOU'VE HEARD BY ME, AND MANY OTHERS, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS GO BACK INTO 2007, IT'S NOW 2012.. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? FATAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY? MAKE IT RIGHT GM. YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST OF THIS... *TR
