2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

AT APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES MY FUEL GAUGE BROKE. IT FIRST BEGAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT LESS THAN 1/2 TANK I COULD SEE THE NEEDLE DROP TO E IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. NOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE TANK IS FULL OR HALF EMPTY IT ALWAYS REGISTERS ON E. THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BEEP AND NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON! I CANNOT BELIEVE GM WILL NOT RECALL THE TRAILBLAZER DUE TO THIS ISSUE, THE DEALER SURE DON'T DISCLOSE THIS FAULTY PROBLEM WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO SALE YOU THE VEHICLE!!! *TR

FRIDAY OCTOBER 29TH 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND MY RIM BLEW A HOLE. MY TIRE IS FINE ,BUT I HAVE A HUGE HOLE IN MY RIM. I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING AND I WAS JUST GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE SO I WAS DOING AROUND 50MPH. IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE THANK GOD OR I WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARS OUT WITH ME. I WAS JUST DRIVING AND I HEARD THIS VERY SCARY,LOUD SOUND AND IT JERKED ME OFF TO THE RIGHT AND I PULLED OVER AND CALLED FOR HELP. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY HAVE IN THE 30YEARS HE WORKED THERE EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THE DISTRICT MANAGER OK'D FOR ME TO GET A NEW RIM. MY CONCERN IS I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH THE RIMS. ARE THEY SAFE? I HAVE A FAMILY, WILL THE OTHERS BLOW OUT LIKE THE ONE DID? HOW CAN YOU GUARANTEE ME THEY ARE SAFE?? I WANT 4 DIFFERENT RIMS DUE TO I DON'T FEEL SAFE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE GAS METER IN THE BLAZER SAYS IT EMPTY WHEN I JUST FILL IT. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE LIGHT BEEPS AND STAYS ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS TROUBLE WITH MY BLAZER. I CANT BELIEVE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TAKE. I CONTACTED MY DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT IT NOT COVERED IN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I BOUGHT FOR THE VEHICLE. IT COST OVER $1,000 TO FIX IT. I FEEL THAT IF I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I SEE THERE IS ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS CONCERN ABOUT THERE VEHICLE. I DON'T FEEL NOW MY VEHICLE IS SAFE AND IT ONLY HAS 30, 000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS AT SAMS CLUB FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAS GAUGE THEREAFTER BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME. MOST OF THE TIME IT STARTS OUT SHOWING AN INCONSISTENT READING THEN GOES TO EMPTY. FUEL DESCENDING UNIT GONE BAD. AN INQUIRY ON THE INTERNET REVEALS A LARGE QUANTITY OF TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAD 49,000 MILES AND SOME CHANGE WITH THIS FIRST OCCURRED. CAN YOU IMAGINE RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A RURAL AREA WITH OR WITHOUT KIDS WITH NO HELP IN SITE, OR EVEN WORSE IN A URBAN HIGH CRIME AREA PASSING THROUGH. GM HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM DESPITE THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM. I FOUND THE AVERAGE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS REPAIR IS RATHER COSTLY REQUIRING THE GAS TANK TO BE REMOVED. AT THIS POINT I AM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY MILEAGE, FORTUNATELY FOR ME I DID NOT RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT QUIT WORKING OR REPORTS FALSE LEVEL. PARTICULARLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO HAS COME ON AND WHEN IT WAS CHECKED SHOWED PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. *TR

GAS GAUGE IS FAULTY. DOES NOT READ ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THEN THE FUEL LEVEL WILL DROP TO EMPTY AND THEN BACK UP TO HALF TANK. *TR

DRIVING 40 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC, APPROACHING STOPPED TRAFFIC. BRAKES START TO LOCK UP. WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED THE BRAKES ARE LOCKED, THE PEDAL WILL NOT COMPRESS. WHEN APPLY GAS, THE CAR DOES NOT GO FORWARD. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE CAR, AND THEN START IT AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE FOR IT TO WORK. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SS GAS GAUGE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND WILL TRIGGER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND OFF ON ANY GIVEN DAY. VEHICLE GIVES LOW GAS INDICATION EVEN AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM OR SEARCH AUTO FORUMS, IT APPEARS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONSISTENTLY AND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD REGISTER AN EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS AND THE FUEL SENDING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 64,000 MILES. FUEL GAUGE WILL MOVE AROUND NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IN IT. COULD HAVE A FULL TANK & ONE MINUTE IT WILL READ FULL, NEXT MINUTE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS COMING ON. 3 TIMES NOW, MY TRAILBLAZER SHUT OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH MEANS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. IT THINKS IT'S OUT OF FUEL, WHEN THERE IS FUEL IN IT. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES ALONG SIDE THE ROAD, I START IT UP & I'M GOOD TO GO. I HAVE TO KEEP IT FILLED ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE THE GAUGE WILL NOT READ CORRECTLY. SOMETIME SITTING AT IDLE I'VE WATCHED IT GO TO EMPTY & BACK UP WHILE I'M JUST SITTING THERE. *TR
