2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT Complaints

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER AND WIPER START AND STOP ON THEIR OWN. THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION AND THEY STAY ON. WHEN THE WASHER HAS WATER IT SPRAYS CONSTANTLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY; IT WOULD INDICATE INCORRECT AMOUNTS OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,480.

THE AIR CONDITIONING ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT STOPPED WORKING. THE PROBLEM WAS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR MODULE AND RESISTOR MODULE CONNECTOR. THE PARTS HAD MELTED TOGETHER, CAUSING THE WIRES TO BECOME LOOSE AT THE CONNECTION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY CHEVY MODEL. THERE ARE MANY ONLINE POSTINGS INDICATING THAT THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A FIRE. CHEVROLET COMPANY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT MY VEHICLE UNTIL I PAID A $110.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL AND THE TAHOE. THE GAS GAUGE ALSO STOPPED WORKING RECENTLY WHICH I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT IT TOO WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THESE PARTS AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARDS, WHICH ALSO WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN ONCE AGAIN SAID THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THESE PARTS SEEM TO BE FAILING SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS ARE HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUES AND ARE KNOWN TO THE CHEVROLET CORPORATION. I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE PARTS AT NEARLY 80% CHEAPER THAN WHAT THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME, NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR AND DIAGNOSTIC FEE. SAFETY RECALLS ON THESE PARTS SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

CHECKING FUEL INDICATOR STARTED TO BE STUCK ON BELOW EMPTY CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A FEW OCCASIONS. AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS HAS BEEN A FLAW IN GM TRUCKS FOR SOMETIME NOW. AND THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS OVER $500.00. THESE VEHICLES COST TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER NOT THINK IT IS THERE RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT. *TR

3 WEEKS AGO, PER THE FUEL GUAGE HAD 1/4 TANK, NO 'LOW FUEL' LIGHT INDICATOR. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS, LEAVING ME TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A CORNER. I WAS STRANDED. I HAVE NOT LET THE TANK GET THAT LOW SINCE, OUT OF FEAR THE GUAGE WAS NOT READING IT PROPERLY. LAST NIGHT, I FILLED THE VEHICLE. APPORXIMATELY A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE GUAGE REGISTERED EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT INDICATOR. DURING MY 10 MINUTE DRIVE IT CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY & FULL. I AM AFFRAID OF THE VEHICLE CUTTING OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR MANUEVERING THROUGH CORNERS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I LOOK UP INFO ON LINE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. EVEN WHEN I FILL UP ON GAS IT STILL READS EMPTY. EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU REACH 40,000 MLIES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT RANDOMLY REPORTS FUEL LEVELS FROM FULL TO EMPTY, OR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT, THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO WORK ERRATICALLY. IT HAS JUST LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK AND FLUCTUATES. LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT LT HAS A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. IT WILL READ EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON, THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO FULL, CONTINUALLY FLUCTUATING BACK AND FORTH. AT FIRST IT WILL SHOW FULL WHEN WE FILL UP, BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES WOULD GO TO EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID OF STALLING. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT AROUND 62,000 MILES. *TR
