2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

FUEL GAGE AT TIMES DROPS TO EMPTY AND HAS RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN SHOWING THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK. *LN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE AND OIL PRESSURE WERE INOPERABLE, CAUSING THEM TO FLUCTUATE AND NOT REMAIN AT A CONSTANT POINT. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT SPEED HE WAS TRAVELING, HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE, OR HOW MUCH OIL WAS CURRENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 93,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT, EXT FUEL SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER FUEL LEVEL IN TANK AFTER FILLING UP. (A FULL TANK READS EMPTY). THE FUEL TANK LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON MAKING IT UNUSABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

LIGHTS ON THE DASH NOT WORKING, AND ALSO THE HOT /COLD LIGHTS ON THE HEATER CONSOLE IN THE FRONT JUST QUIT WORKING, AND ONLY 43,000 MILES IT MAKES IT COMPLICATED AT NIGHT TO SEE HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE OR HOW FAST YOUR GOING. ALSO THE AIR/HEAT UNIT ON THE CONSOLE FOR THE BACK SEAT JUST QUIT WORKING, SO IF I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME, THEN THEY JUST FREEZE TO DEATH IN THE BACK SEATS, BECAUSE THERE IS NO HEAT. *TR

THIS ISSUE IS WITH THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT LS MODEL. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THIS PART WILL FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE AND OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE AT 50K MILES. THE FAILURE IS PERMANENT AND WILL MAKE THE VEHICLE FAIL ANY STATE REQUIRED SAFETY INSPECTIONS. THE ISSUE CAN BE CORRECTED. IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $100 FOR THE PART. LABOR COSTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN $400-$500. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TRAILBLAZER EXT AND THE TRACTION IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL.. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN? NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT DUE TO THE HIGH COST FOR THE REPAIR. WHAT IS CHEVY GOING TO DO IN THAT IT IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THEIR VEHICLE? SECONDLY, THE GAS GAUGE STOP WORKING AND I RAN OUT OF GAS. THIS IS ANOTHER SERIOUS DEFECT THAT WILL CAUSE OTHERS TO BE KILLED. ONCE AGAIN A RECALL NEEDS TO BE PUT IN PLACE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HARMED. WHERE IS CHEVY'S LIABILITY IN THESE ISSUES? *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME AND HAVE HEARD THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HAVE TO FILL UP SUV, SET MILEAGE TO 0.0 AND FILL UP AROUND 225 MILES DRIVEN SINCE THIS COSTS A LOT TO FIX. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING A LOT TO THIS VEHICLE IS PROBLEMS WITH THE BLOWER NOT WORKING BECAUSE THE RESISTOR AND HARNESS BURN OUT. *TR

LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS (SINCE THIS HAPPENS TO THE GMC ENVOY TOO, SO IT'S NOT JUST A CHEVY ISSUE), ONE DAY THE GAS GAUGE WORKS FINE, THE NEXT IT READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING IT UP. HOWEVER, AS A BONUS, THE FRIENDLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOW COMES ON RANDOMLY TO LET ME KNOW THE FUEL GAUGE ISN'T WORKING. I'VE HAD THE CODES READ BY TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND THIS IS THE ONLY ERROR RECORDED. I NOW HAVE TO USE THE TRIP METER TO "GUESS" WHEN THE TRUCK NEEDS FILLING UP. SINCE IT'S GOING TO COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS I DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT, I'LL JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE INCONVENIENCE. IN MASSACHUSETTS, LIKE MANY OTHER STATES, THEY DO AN EMISSIONS TEST BY PLUGGING INTO THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. WELL, SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT SOME POINT, THE COMPUTER SAYS "NOT READY" AND THE VEHICLE FAILS THE TEST. YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THEN DRIVE ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE COMPUTER RESETS ITSELF. HOWEVER, WITHOUT FAIL, THE LIGHT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON JUST BEFORE TAKING IT BACK TO GET RE-INSPECTED, THUS RESETTING THE WHOLE PROCESS. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS IN A ROW REGARDLESS OF NUMBER OF DAYS/MILES DRIVEN. ANOTHER WEEK AND ANOTHER TANK OF GAS WASTED. SO, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO PASS INSPECTION, I EITHER HAVE TO GET REAL LUCKY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR HAVE THE REPAIR MADE. SINCE THIS ISSUE PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM PASSING THE STATE INSPECTION, IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY/EMISSIONS CONCERN AND ALL VEHICLES RECALLED TO REPAIR THE COMBINATION FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT. IF GM DOESN'T CONSIDER THIS A CONCERN AND RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR THIS REPAIR, THEN THEY NEED TO HAVE THE VEHICLES RECALLED TO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOP COMING ON SO THE VEHICLES CAN PASS STATE INSPECTIONS. *TR
