2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TODAY I TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE WINDOW WOULD GO DOWN AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY GO UP. I TRIED ALL THE WINDOWS AND THEY WOULD ALL GO DOWN AND AUTOMATICALLY GO UP. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE LEFT MASTER WINDOW SWITCH WAS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THEY TRIED TO RESET IT AND NOW THE LEFT MASTER WINDOW SWITCH WILL NOT RESPOND AT ALL. THEY SAID THE SWITCH WAS GETTING VERY HOT WHILE THEY WERE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. *JS

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN FLUCTUATING FROM PROPER FUEL LEVEL READING TO EMPTY AT AROUND 74,000 MILES. AFTER FEW WEEKS OF THIS, THE FUEL GAUGE NOW CONSISTENTLY READS EMPTY AFTER DRIVING 115 - 120 MILES ON A FULL TANK, WHICH INDICATES A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSING UNIT. I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE BASED ON THE TRIP ODOMETER AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE SINCE THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE WAY TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK A ON HEAVILY TRAVELED BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!! ALSO AT AROUND 75,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MAINTENANCE LIGHT PERIODICALLY TURN ON. *JS

LIVING IN MAINE, IT'S NOT LIKE THERE ARE GAS STATIONS ON EVERY STREET CORNER. I LEFT FOR WORK ONE MORNING, KNOWING I HAD PLENTY OF GAS, MY SURPRISE APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY THERE, MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAUGE WAS ON EMPTY. I WAS IN A PANIC, I STILL HAD ABOUT 15 MILES TO GO BEFORE I WAS NEAR A GAS STATION. I FINALLY GOT TO A GAS STATION, AND SURPRISE AGAIN, IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 GALLONS TO FILL IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 800,000 COMPLAINTS ON FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS ON THESE TYPE VEHICLES!! COME ON, TIMES ARE TOUGH, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED.. DO A RECALL!! *TR *KB

FUEL SENSOR NEVER GIVES CORRECT READING CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ALSO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF ONLY WORKING SOME OF THE TIME AND GOING IN AND OUT AS I AM DRIVING. *JS

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN REGISTERING ERRATICALLY IN 2010. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS LATER, IT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. THE CAR STALLED AND DIED AS I WAS CROSSING 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC FROM A DRIVEWAY. AS IT WAS NOT UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, CHEVY HAS NOW AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF REPAIR DUE TO PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER, THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY GREATER THAN HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A COWORKER ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2005 GMC ENVOY. HE HAS SINCE REPLACED THE VEHICLE DUE TO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY FATHER-IN-LAW HAS ALSO REPLACED HIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COST $800 TO REPAIR. THIS REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE A VOLUNTARY 50% COST TO GMC BUT RATHER A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH MELTED IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED AN ERRONEOUS READING OF EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

MY FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. I ALSO HAVE NO POWER ANYTHING ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY READS EMPTY WHEN TANK HAS BEEN FILLED. FUEL GAUGE WILL JUMP FROM EMPTY, TO 3/4 TANK, TO 1/2 FULL TO 1/4 TANK AND BACK TO EMPTY WITH FUEL LIGHT AND AUDIO WARNING WITHIN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT FLUCTUATES BACK AND FORTH. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. WHICH THIS CREATES A BIG PROBLEM SINCE I TRANSPORT HANDICAP PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. ALSO DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OPERATES VERY SLOW, SOMETIMES IT HESITATES ON ROLLING UP. I HAVE TO LET IT SET FOR A WHILE, THEN TRY ROLLING IT UP AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES DOING THIS, IT HAS FINALLY ROLLED UP ALL THE WAY. I THINK THE DEALER SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS, WITHOUT CONSUMER PAYING FOR ANY OF IT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE SEEM TO BE ONGOING PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY REFERENCE MY DOOR PANEL HASN'T CAUGHT FIRE YET, WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. ALSO MY SLICK, SKID CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON VERY EASILY WHEN I TAKE OFF AND STAY ON TILL I CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, AND HOPE DOESN'T COME BACK ON WHEN I START TO DRIVE. *TR
