2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

FUEL SENDER STOPPED WORKING ONLY SHOWS BELOW EMPTY. CHECKED MANY OTHER SITES FOUND MANY HAVE STOPPED WORKING THIS MUST BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. *JS

ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS DOOR SWITCH WENT DEAD, THEN I NOTICED AND SMELT SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I REMOVED THE SWITCHES AND OPENED UP THE PLASTIC CASING AND SAW THE CIRCUIT BOARD COMPLETELY BURNT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LACK OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW IN FUEL NOR DID THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FLOAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 96,000.

I WILL SOON BE REPLACING MY 3RD FUEL PUMP. YOU CAN NOT PURCHASE A SENDING UNIT SEPARATELY AND YOU CAN NOT REPLACE A FUEL FILTER FOR MAINTENANCE. ALSO THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH STOPPED OPERATING YESTERDAY AFTER A BURNING SMELL FILLED THE TRUCK. THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH IS MELTED. HAD ISSUES WITH I FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH IT "SHUTTING DOWN" ON THE HIGHWAY, NO GAS, NO POWER STEERING, NO CONTROL. RECEIVED A YEAR OF FREE OIL CHANGES FROM CHEVY AFTER A COMPLAINT WAS FILED, THEY STILL TO THIS DAY CAN NOT TELL MY WHY MY TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN. *TR ....UPDATED 06/18/12 *BF UPDATED IVOQ 06/20/12

THE TRAILBLAZER DIED WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN SHE STARTED IT BACK THE MOTOR WAS MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. SHE PULLED IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED INTO A GARAGE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHOT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHEN IT HAPPENED ALL THE GAUGES WERE SHOWING EVERYTHING TO BE GOOD THERE WAS NO NOISE IN ENGINE OR ANY WARNING LAMPS LIT UP ON THE DASH. WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED JUST 2-3 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 8 MONTHS. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH HAS BEEN ACTING UP WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH TO PUT DOWN THE WINDOW IT WILL NOT GO INTO AUTOMATIC DOWN. *TR

I NOTICED MONTHS AGO THAT THE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING ON THE POWER WINDOWS SWITCHES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE DEFINITELY NOTICED SOME ODD SMELLS (BURNING/MELTING/PLASTIC/CHEMICAL) THAT I WAS NEVER SURE WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM. BEFORE THE ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS, WHICH WAS PROBABLY AROUND THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, THE ONE TOUCH WINDOW OPENING CONTROL BUTTON (ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH ONLY ONE TOUCH INSTEAD OF HOLDING THE WINDOW BUTTON) STOPPED FUNCTIONING, THE WINDOW WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF EITHER CLOSING IT OR OPENING IT AND WHEN IT DIDN?T STALL AND CLOSING/OPENING WAS SUCCESSFUL IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY SLOW. THE WINDOW IN MY TRUCK IS NOW DEAD. IT WILL NOT OPERATE AT ALL. I WENT TO TRY TO SHUT IT MONDAY NIGHT AND IT WOULDN?T SHUT, THERE IS ABOUT 2-3 INCHES OF SPACE WHERE THE WINDOW IS DOWN. THERE IS NO POWER TO ANY OF MY WINDOW CONTROLS, OR TO MY POWER LOCKS ON THE DRIVER?S SIDE. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I CAME UPON THIS SITE WHERE OTHERS HAD LISTED VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, WHAT RECOURSE IS THERE FOR THE UNSUSPECTING CONSUMER? I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO AS A USED VEHICLE. *TR

FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WHILE DRIVING IN FRIGID WEATHER. ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. CONTACTS AND PHONE CONSULTATIONS WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO LED NOWHERE. GM'S REGIONAL REP--NAMED EILEEN, TEL. 866-790-5700 EXT 41068--WAS UNCONCERNED ABOUT THIS CHRONIC, DOCUMENTED SAFETY HAZARD ON THE TRAILBLAZER. POWER WINDOW AND OTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURES ARE KNOWN TO BE COMMON TO THE TRAILBLAZER. GM AT FIRST SUGGESTED THEY MAY PICK UP PART OF THE REPAIR COSTS, THEN REFUSED DESPITE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEY ARE UNCONCERNED ABOUT MY WIFE BEING PUT IN SEVERE DANGER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON A FRIGID NIGHT. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES COMMON TO THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE READS "FULL". AS I DRIVE, IT STEADILY DROPS TO ABOUT 2/3 FULL, THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO "EMPTY". AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE, THE GAUGE BEGINS TO RISE, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS WAS BACK TO "EMPTY". THIS REPEATS NOW AFTER EVERY FILL. AS I SEARCH THE INTERNET, I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER PROBLEM. HAS IT BECOME A RECALL? *TR
