What owners report
SMELLING GAS EVEN THOUGH NO GAS WAS SPILLED. THE CAR IS STATIONARY IN GARAGE. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO KEEP IN THE GARAGE AND I AM PARKING IT OUTSIDE. I AM ALSO WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING.
MY CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON INSIDE THE CAR IT WAS SMELLING LIKE GAS . I WENT TO A LOCAL SHOP THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND ITS A FUEL TANK LEAK . ITS LEAKING RIGHT WERE THE FUEL GOES IN THE TANK . I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL . BUT I FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE ACTION #EAO7009. *TR
THE WIPERS STOP HALF WAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING. REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. MY DISABLED SON HAS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. IT NEEDS TO BE SAFE AND GM COULD CARE LESS. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH ALL TRAILBLAZERS. GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT. *TR
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYING 50 DEGREES REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. WHEN ACTUAL TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING THIS REPRESENTS A HAZARD. WHEN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 50 DEGREES AIR CONDITIONING NOT RESPONSIVE (EVEN WHEN TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES, "HEATER" COMES ON DUE TO ERRONEOUS OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE READING). POOR FUEL MILEAGE RESULTS FROM INCORRECT AIR/FUEL MIXTURE AT ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES MORE THAN 20 DEGREES +/- 50 DEGREE SYSTEM TEMPERATURE. *TR
PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY, LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF, A FEW MINUTES LATER SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER HOOD AND IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. POPPED HOOD AND FUSE BLOCK AND RELAY WE SMOKING AND MELTING! GOT FIRE EXTINGUISHED AND PULLED THE HEAD LIGHT RELAY SWITCH, BUT IT HAD MELTED THROUGH THE BLOCK!!!! *TR
