2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT IN TO MY CAR I HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. AFTER I HAD TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT SHOW MY TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT WAS ON. I FILLED UP MY TANK AND IT STILL SHOWED EMPTY WITH THE GAS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON NOW. I AM NOW NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER XL WHEN I SMELLED THE ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND BEGAN TO EXAMINE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL. I THEN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED LEAVING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OPEN TO OBSERVE. THE SMOKE THAN SUBSIDED, BUT THE CONTROL PANEL WHICH IS USED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS, DOORS AND UNLOCK THE DOOR WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I DROVE HOME AT WHICH TIME I OPENED UP OR REMOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL PANEL. THE PLASTIC CASING WAS MELTED AND BURNED. I THAN REFERRED TO THE OWNERS MANUAL AND LOCATED THE FUSE BOX AND THE FUSE, WHICH WAS BURNED OUT, THIS MAY HAVE STOPPED THE FIRE OR SHORT. THERE IS NO EXPLAINED REASON WAY THIS PANEL SHORTED OUT AND STARTED A POTENTIAL FIRE. I HAVE NOT CONSULTED THE CHEVY DEALER OR GM YET. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN INFORMATION BY A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 150 MILES WITH MORE THAN A HALF A TAN OF GAS LEFT. THE GAUGE STATES THAT I AM OUT OF GAS WITH THE LIGHT ON. FOR THE TIME BEING I USE THE TRIP ODOMETER AND REFUEL ABOUT EVERY 200 MILES. IT STILL WORRIES ME THAT MY GAS LIGHT IS ON AND SAYS EMPTY.

2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. THE GAUGE AND MESSAGE BAR INDICATED THAT THERE IS LOW FUEL NO MATTER HOW FULL THE TANK IS. AS A RESULT, I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP METER AND ASSUME THAT I NEED TO FILL UP AT AROUND 250 MILES. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE EVEN BEFORE THAT AMOUNT OF MILES. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND CHEVROLET CORPORATE BUT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS AND STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 60,000. *TR
