2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

GAS GAUGE SENSOR ALARM SIGNALS GAUGE IS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS 3/4 FULL; HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN ANSWER AS TO WHETHER THE VEHICLE WILL BECOME DISABLED AND HAVE TO STOP TO JUST PUT IN A FEW GALLONS. THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR SIGNAL IS VERY DISTRACTING AND GOES OFF CONSTANTLY. REPAIR COST IS $400-$600 FOR THE SENSOR AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER VEHICLE OR EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY. IT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. *TR

GAS GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK - DID NOT GIVE ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN VEHICLE EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND WOULD DING AS IF EMPTY. TOOK CAR INTO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP & IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. GAS TANK HAD TO BE "PULLED" AND SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. WOULD HAVE COST ME $800, BUT LUCKILY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH A 2007 TRAILBLAZER - IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

I READ ABOUT: GM RECALLING 1.4 MILLION VEHICLES FOR FIRE HAZARD BY PETER VALDES-DAPENA, SENIOR WRITERJUNE 9, 2010: 10:03 AM ET. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON MAY 17, 2010, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED AAA. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER, MY 3 YEAR OLD CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAD FLAMES START SHOOTING OUT OF THE HOOD. IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES SOON THEREAFTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS STEAM, SO IF A NJ FIREFIGHTER HAD NOT GRABBED ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I AM NOT QUITE SURE HOW THIS STORY WOULD HAVE ENDED... *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY VEHICLE LOST 100% OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. NO HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS, RADIO, NOTHING. AFTER PULLING TO THE ROAD SIDE, TURNED IGNITION KEY TO OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE. VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. FOLLOWING DAY SCANNED FOR FAULT CODES, NONE WERE FOUND. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND BABY IT LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW. NOW EVERYTHING IS BREAKING. FIRST IT WAS THE RACKING PINION STEERING. SOME HOW THE SEAL BUSTED. SECOND, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO REGISTER EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL AND JOINT BALL WENT BAD MAKING SOME VIBRATION AND SQUEALING SOUND. I GOT THE FUEL GAUGE FIXED AND JOINT BALL, NOW THE STRUTS THAT LIFT REAR WINDOW DOESN'T WORK. I WAS SO EAGER TO GET THIS TRAILBLAZER BUT IT IS COSTING ME MORE MONEY THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE QUICKLY DROPS TO EMPTY AFTER LESS THAN 1/4 OF THE FUEL HAS BEEN USED. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING $575.00. WITH ONLY 43K MILES ON THE CAR, IT SEEMS A LITTLE PREMATURE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES ERRATICALLY. TANK CAN BE FULL BUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND START "BINGING" WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL LIGHT ON 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CONTINUALLY READS EMPTY. EVEN AFTER BEING FILLED UP. *TR

AFTER FUELING OUR 2007 TRAILBLAZER, THE GAS GAUGE VERY SLOWLY STARTED TO INTERMITTENTLY GO TO EMPTY AND/OR 'DING' AND TURN ON THE LOW FUEL LIGHT. NOW, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR AND WILL COST $500-$1000 TO FIX AND THAT MANY, MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FALLS TO EMPTY FEWER THAN 100 MILES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE TANK IS 22 GALLONS AND THE FUEL ECONOMY IS 17.8 MPG. I RESET THE TRIP METER SO I CAN FUEL UP WITHIN 300 MILES, JUST TO BE SAFE. *TR
