2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON THE VEHICLE, THE GAS GAGE DROPPED TO "EMPTY". THE GAS GAGE THEN WENT TO HALF AND RETURNED TO EMPTY SEVERAL TIMES. THE GAS GAGE FINALLY RETURNED TO FULL, THE CORRECT LEVEL. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, WHILE TRAVELING OVER A NARROW TWO-LANE BRIDGE, I WAS STARTLED BY THE SOUND OF A WARNING CHIME. WHILE TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE WARNING I WAS DISTRACTED AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION ON THE BRIDGE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE GAS LEVEL HAD RETURNED TO THE EMPTY LEVEL EVEN THOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT SUBSEQUENTLY CAME ON. I DID SOME ON-LINE RESEARCH (GOOGLE "TRAILBLAZER FUEL DEFECTS") AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS FROM TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WHO HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. THE YEAR OF VEHICLE RANGES FROM 2003 TO 2008. MANY OF THESE OWNERS STATE THAT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE GAS GAGE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE IN MOTION THEREBY ENDANGERING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. *TR

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES FROM LOW FUEL TO ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL ONCE ACTUAL GAS LEVEL REACHES APPROXIMATELY 1/2 TANK. *TR

GAS GAUGE IS IRRATIC AFTER FILLING UP. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT RETRACTOR BECAME INOPERABLE. THE SEAT BELT WEBBING WOULD NOT EXTRACT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED INTO THE ON POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THAT THE SEAT BELT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE FUEL TANK SENDER STOPS WORKING WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK REACHES HALF FULL. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK REACHES HALF FULL. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE DRIVING....NO IMPACT, NO STONE, NO THUD. JUST A CRACK DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I WIRITE THIS BECAUSE THE OTHER DAY I STOPPED AT A DUNKIN DONUTS AND JUST HAPPENED TO PARK NEXT TO ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER. WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE, A THIRD TRAILBLAZER PULLED IN NEXT TO ME. WHEN I LEFT THE STORE I SAW THAT ALL THREE TRAILBLZERS HAD CRACKED WINDSHIELDS IN VIRTUALLY THE SAME PLACE???? I ALSO OWN A 2006 CHEVY COBALT....AND GUESS WHAT.......CRACKED WINDSHIELD THIS FALL JUST DRIVING DOWN A STREET. I THINK CHEVROLET WINDSHEILDS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE QUALITY OF GLASS/MATERIAL THAT THEY ARE USING. THANK YOU.

2007 TRAILBLAZER GAS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO FACT VEHICLE COULD FAIL ON ROAD IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. LIVES COULD BE IN DANGER FOR FAULTY READING OR FOR ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER SENSOR WORKING. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH EVEN 2005-2006 MODELS. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC!!!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD INDICATE INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,453. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

2007 TRAILBLAZER FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE CAUSES MY FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE INCORRECT READING. I WOULD FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE GAUGE WOULD GO TO 1/4 TANK OR EMPTY AT TIMES AND THEN BACK TO FULL. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND AT 65,000 MILES THIS ISSUE STARTED. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AT 60,000. I RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE BECAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL DISPLAY SHOWED THAT I HAD 1/4 TANK WHEN I WAS ON EMPTY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN THE SENSOR AND IT HAS TO BE REPLACED, BUT SINCE MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IT WOULD COST OVER $600.00. I KNOW OF 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SENSOR FAILURE AND AFTER READING REVIEWS ONLINE I BELIEVE CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS SENSOR. *TR

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, GAS GAUGE RISES TO ACTUAL GAS LEVEL. AFTER 3-4 MINUTES OF DRIVING, GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, AND REMAINS UNTIL TRUCK IS RESTARTED. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WILL RISE TO ONE-HALF TANK, AND STAY AS WELL. ON ONE OCCASION, I WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON AND MY WIFE. THE GAUGE WAS STUCK A HALF TANK, BUT I WAS ACTUALLY OUT OF GAS. 4 HOURS LATER I WAS BACK HOME. ON SOME LEVEL I THINK THAT CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FUEL-SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE TANK, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE BETWEEN $600-$900 TO REPLACE. RIDICULOUS!!! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES TO THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY TRAIL BLAZER. IT IS TIME FOR GM TO ALLOW THESE TO BE REPLACED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS MAY NOT QUALIFY AS A SAFETY RECALL, BUT SURELY A DEFECT THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS!!! *TR
