2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN DEC 2010 FOR MY BIRTHDAY, THEN STARTED SMELLING GAS SO TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FLOATER IN GAS TANK AND IT WAS FINE FOR AWHILE, THEN ONE DAY I WENT AND FILLED UP THE TANK, GOT IN AND STARTED IT UP AND IT SAID EMPTY AND HAD THE LIGHT ON (WHEN I KNEW IT WAS FULL), SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO RELY ON THE MILES TO KNOW IF I STILL HAVE GAS, WHICH IS HARD TO DO IF YOU DON'T FILL IT UP ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID OF HAVING MY GRANDSONS WITH ME ONE DAY AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS BECAUSE IT DON'T WORK..PLEASE RECALL THIS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH GAS WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE IT WAS JUST FIXED A FEW MONTHS AGO. WILL THIS BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM? I GREW UP WITH CHEVY'S MY DAD USE TO SAY WE WERE CHEVY COUNTRY AND MY UNCLE'S VEHICLES WERE FOUND ON THE ROAD DEAD (FORD) I USE TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVY WAS BEST VEHICLE MADE, BUT THIS IS CHANGING MY MIND. *TT

MY FAN FOR HEAT AND SIR STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER THAT.I ALSO GO THROUGH HEAD LIGHTS AND TAILLIGHT FREQUENTLY WHICH HAVE LEAD TO A FEW TICKETS. I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER BUT I AM DISGUSTED THAT THERE HASNT BEEN RECALLS ON THESE OBVIOUS DEFECTS!!!! I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHEVY. I FEEL THE COMPANY DOESNT CARE WEATHER THEY HAVE A TRUST WORTHY RELIABLE VEHICUL AS LONG AS THEY ARE MAKING MONEY!!!! *TT
