2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

2007 TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS, FUEL FROM ANY VENDOR CAUSES THE FUEL SENSOR TO GUM UP WITH SULFUR AND OTHER CHEMICALS MAKING IT STICK AND READ EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. IT ALSO SENDS A CODE TO THE MONITORING SYSTEM (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). THIS LIGHT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PASS INSPECTION AT ANY TIME. CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE 35 DOLLAR BOTTLE OF CLEANING FLUID THAT WAS ONLY CARRIED BY THE CHEVY ITSELF, THEIR RESPONSE STATES THAT THIS SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. UNDERSTANDING SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM TELL ME (A MECHANIC) THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

MY 2007 NEW TRAILBLAZER STARTED ON FIRE WHILE IT WAS OFF AND PARKED FOR OVER 12 HOURS IN MAY OF 2008. AFTER 2 AND 1/2 MONTHS OF NOT HAVING MY TRUCK IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. GM ADMITTED IT WAS A FAULT OF THEIRS SEEING AS MY TRUCK WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AND PURCHASED NEW. EVER SINCE THE CAR WAS RETURNED BACK TO ME THE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND A FIRE COULD HAVE STARTED AGAIN HAD I NOT BROUGHT THIS IN SOONER. SO FOR THE 2ND TIME I AM RISKING MY LIFE EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK! *TR

I LEASED A 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ON MAY 31ST 2007 AT WALLY EDGAR DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE WEATHER STARTED TURNING BELOW 50DEGREES THE BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL. WE TOOK IT INTO WALLY EDGAR DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2008. ALL THEY DID WAS BLEED THE BRAKES. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE BRAKES WERE BACK TO FAILING. I TOOK IT IN TO LUNGHUMER DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2008, THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THAT WORKED FOR AWHILE.. WELL WITHIN A MONTH I WAS BACK AT WALLY EDGAR DROPPING IT OFF BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD EXCEEDED THE LAST TWO TIMES IT WAS WITHIN 1/2 INCH OF THE FLOOR. THIS TIME THEY BLEED THE BRAKES AND CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS AN AIR BUBBLE IN A CALIPER. WELL EVERYTHING WAS GOING OKAY UNTIL THE FIRST REAL COLD OF THE YEAR. MY BRAKES WERE DOWN TO THE FLOOR LITERALLY. I WAS UNSURE IF THEY WERE GOING TO STOP ME. THIS TIME THEY DID THEIR JOB AT WALLY EDGAR AND REPLACED A MODULAR SENSOR. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE WORKING GOOD. THAT WAS JANUARY 14, 2009. WITHIN A WEEK THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSFERCASE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. JANUARY 22, 2009. THEN ON JANUARY 30TH MY SERVICE BRAKE LIGHT AND STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, AND ELECTRIC BRAKE MODULE. AND I AM SUPPOSE TO FEEL SAFE IN THIS HEAP OF JUNK. *TR
