I PURCHASED A USED CAR FROM EZ CARS & CREDIT LOCATED IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA BECAUSE THEY HAD SOME VERY GOOD REVIEWS. I COULD OF BOUGHT A CAR FROM A PRIVATE OWNER BUT I DECIDED TO GO WITH A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FIGURED THAT THE LAW WOULD PROTECT ME AND THEY COULD NOT SALE ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

THE MANAGER [XXX] SAID IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FIXED IN LIKE 5 MINUTES AND THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUSES BEING REPLACED BUT HIS SERVICE TECHNICIAN LEFT FOR THE DAY SO I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN TOMORROW. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR [XXX], I WAS TOLD BY THE SALES MANAGER WHO'S NAME IS [XXX], THAT [XXX] WAS ON VACATION FOR 1 WEEK IN MEXICO. I EXPLAINED THE AIRBAG SITUATION AND[XXX]SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR [XXX] TO RETURN FROM MEXICO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 11 FEB 2013, I WAS GETTING GAS WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN ACTING CRAZY. IT WOULD GO TO FULL THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER GO TO EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT WOULD GO ON. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I SHOULD GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SEE THERE IS AN OPEN ACTION ON THIS #DP10001. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS HOW DO I GET THIS LETTER, I SEE OTHERS COMMENTS WHICH STATE IF YOUR VEHICLE IS OVER 120,000 MILES THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. MY VEHICLE IS NOW OVER 120,000 MILES BUT WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED IT WAS NOT. HOW DO I GET THIS RECALL INITIATED? PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN THE DRIVE AND POSITION #3, IT DOES NOT MOVE. IT ONLY MOVES UNDER POSITION #2 AND #1. *TR

MY TRAILBLAZER IS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE. MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS AND HAD TO WALK TO THE STATION BUY A GAS CAN AND WALK BACK TO FILL IT. WE CAN NO LONGER RESET THE TRIP MILES AS THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO TELL ACCURATELY HOW MUCH FARTHER YOU CAN DRIVE ON A TANK OF GAS. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370.

RECALL FOR FAULTY FUSE OR CONNECTION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR THAT COULD MALFUNCTION IF THE WIRING BECAME WET AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I WAS NOTIFIED BY REGULAR MAIL FROM CHEVROLET IN OR AROUND 2013. IN APPROXIMATELY 2015, THERE WAS A SHORT IN A FUSE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AFTER A RAINSTORM. THE POWER WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT WORK. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE WINDOW FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE WINDOW OR THE DOOR SINCE THAT TIME.

THE SUV WOULD NOT START IN OCTOBER 2012. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, SO I BOUGHT ONE RIGHT AWAY. I DRIVE THE SUV VERY INFREQUENTLY, MAYBE ONLY 40 MILES A WEEK. ON DECMBER 7, 2012 THE HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ACROSS THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE IN MARYLAND. THIS WAS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING DARK OUT. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO PARK THE SUV THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. EVEN AFTER MANUALLY TRYING TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AND REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. FINALLY THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE SUV IN THE MORNING. WE TRIED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. THIS CAUSED SPARKS BY THE FUSE BOX AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CABIN BEGAN TO TURN OFF AND ON, EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO STARTED TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AND THE DOORS LOCKED AN UNLOCKED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW BATTERY. OBVIOUSLY THE BATTERY IS NOT THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT GM INTENDS TO DO ABOUT THE FAULTY WIRING IN THESE MODELS AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO CORRECT THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED IN OCTOBER 2012. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 12180 AND I THINK THIS CURRENT PROBLEM IS RELATED TO IT. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND IT STATES THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND TO PARK THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE. I CALLED AND ASKED IF IT IS OK TO DRIVE THE SUV AND WAS TOLD "YES". SINCE I MUST DRIVE ACROSS A 5 MILE BRIDGE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK, I AM CONCERNED THE TRUCK WILL BREAK DOWN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM ALSO CONCERNED A PASSENGER OR MY PET DOG COULD BE INJURED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, AS I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMPS, THE GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY, LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON. I PULLED INTO PARKING LOT; THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND REFUSED TO START FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER A DAY OR TWO, THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED FULL, BUT IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN FULL AND 1/2 ALL OF THE TIME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK! I AM AFRAID TO GO OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE OF THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON. I NOW HAVE TO RELY ON MY TRIP METER BEING ON DISPLAY CONSTANTLY SO I CAN ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME THING HAPPENING IN TRAILBLAZERS, BUT I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GM. SHAME ON YOU, GM! AND YOU WONDER WHY WE'RE TRADING YOUR PRODUCT FOR FOREIGN AUTOS! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW ERRATICALLY WENT UP AND DOWN WITH OUT KEY IN IGNITION AND CAR WAS UN OCCUPIED. BEGAN TO SMOKE AND CONSEQUENTLY MELTED DOOR PANEL SWITCH AND WINDOW MOTOR. *TR

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT A SEVERAL TIMES INTO A CHEVORLET DEALER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND IT CAUSES A FAILURE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE LOSSES 90% OF POWER . THE FAILURE HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIME AND ALL WEATHER AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD IT AT TWO DEALERS AS WELL HAVE CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE DEPT. THEY HAVE CLAIMED TO BE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT STILL FAILS. THE ISSUE AT HAND IS THAT IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS THIS FAILURE PROVES TO BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ITS NOT A USED CAR ISSUE AS ITS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE ISSUE. I HAVE ASKED TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO HAVE A GM FIELD TECH COME LOOK AT THE CAR BUT, THEY INSIST THAT THE DEALER FIX IT. I NEED SOMEONE MORE TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE COMES WITH AT GREAT RISKS OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. IF YOU GOGGLE THIS PROBLEM YOU WILL SEE OTHERS HAVE THE ISSUE AND I THINK ITS WORTH A RECALL IF THEY CAN FIND A FIX FOR IT BUT AFTER 3 YEARS AND SEVERAL TRIES THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

I CAME OUT TO MY VEHICLE TODAY, UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE BUT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE I REALIZED THE WINDOWS DON'T WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL. I REMOVED THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROL MODULE TO FIND A BURN MARK INTERNALLY ON THE DOOR AS WELL AS BURNT PLASTIC ON THE DOOR MODULE ITSELF. THE WINDOW AND LOCK WORKED FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I'M CONCERNED WITH THE SHORT CIRCUIT OCCURRING OVER NIGHT WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. *TR

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, NEEDED TO REPORT THIS SINCE I BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ON MY VEHICLE ITS ONLY THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE YOU CAN FIND OTHERS THAT HAVE SAME ISSUE BUT WITH BOTH LOW BEAMS GO OUT WHENEVER WITHOUT NOTICE. VERY DANGEROUS ON DARK ROADS. I'VE HAD MY HEADLIGHT FIXED MANY TIMES MYSELF AND THAN GAVE UP AND TOOK TO WHERE I BOUGHT VEHICLE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE BULB IS MAKING CONNECTOR HOT ENOUGH TO MELT TO BULB SO CONNECTOR AND BULB BOTH NEED REPLACE IT MAY LAST A YEAR MOST TIMES NOT. THERE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE BEFORE LONG. THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE. I REALLY NEED THIS IMPORTANT MATTER LOOKED INTO AND GM SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT'S A PROBLEM FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE. *TR

ALL CONTROLS ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR QUIT WORKING. I GOT ONLINE & FOUND A RECALL ON THIS FOR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE PHONE NUMBER FOR THE RECALL & THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS'NT COVERED BECAUSE OF THE VIN #. THEY TOLD ME IF I WENT TO A DEALER & PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY MAY OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY KNOW IT IS A DEFECT BUT ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF FIXING MINE BECAUSE OF A VIN #. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST & THEN HAVE THEM TELL ME I OWE MORE BECAUSE I HAVE A VIN# THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM SENDING UNIT APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. FUEL GAUGE SWINGS ERRATICALLY, AND HAS NO RELATION TO THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO SIGNAL FROM FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. AS A RESULT, VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH-HOUR. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED. CHEVROLET HAS AGREED TO PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE COST OF REPAIR. UNACCEPTABLE. I REQUEST THAT YOU REOPEN YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND MAKE CHEVROLET TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, AS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAN BE A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING EVENT. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE, ALTHOUGH SOME OWNERS ARE CLAIMING TO HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM. *TR

HELLO, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER DATED OCTOBER 2012 FOR RECALL NUMBER 12180 AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THEN. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. AT FIRST IT DROPPED TO EMPTY, AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 MILES THE GAUGE WOULD SLOWLY RETURN TO THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. OVER TIME, THE PROBLEM WORSENED, AS IT STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER FOR THE GAUGE TO RECOVER TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. NOW IT STAYS ON EMPTY NEARLY PERMANENTLY, ONLY OCCASIONALLY REGISTERING SOME FUEL AT STARTUP AND QUICKLY DROPPING TO EMPTY AGAIN. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP, MY 2006 TBSS FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I FILL UP WITH NON-ETHANOL GAS PREMIUM GRADE. THE LOW FUEL MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH ALONG WITH THE NEEDLE SITTING ON EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT REMAINS ON. I HAVE READ OVER 250 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW DIDN'T WORK FOR ANY WINDOWS / LOCKS. WENT TO REPAIR SHOP, AND THE DRIVER POWER WINDOW PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A SAFETY RECALL IN OCT. 2012. THE INVOICE #130355 FROM RON SICK'S FOR REPAIR WAS $440.09. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FOR THE TRAILBLAZER WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH TO EMPTY AND THE FULL. THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE WEEKS BUT NOW ONLY STAYS ON EMPTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, SHE SMELLED A BURNING ODOR.

I HAVE A 2006 TRAILBLAZER AND A FEW WEEKS AGO MY DRIVER SIDE CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING. COULD NOT USE MY REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT ANY WINDOWS DOWN. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRES SOMEWHERE BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY THE PANEL WORKED. NOW, TWO WEEKS LATER I STOPPED AT THE STORE AND WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND AGAIN I COULD NOT LOCK MY DOORS USING THE BUTTON ON THE CONTROL PANEL. I LEFT THE DOOR UNLOCKED AND WHEN I CAME OUT (WITHIN MINUTES) MY DOOR WINDOW HAD GONE DOWN ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE. WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR, MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. SHE IMMEDIATELY MADE ME GO TO THE GARAGE AND HAVE HER MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT. HE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE PANEL AND SHOWED US WHERE THE PLASTIC PART THAT GOES INSIDE THE HANDLE HAD MELTED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IN THE CAR. HE CALLED AROUND TO TRY AND FIND A REPLACEMENT PART AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIND ONE AND WAS QUOTED OVER $300 FOR JUST THE PART!! THEN, I HAD TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSTALLED BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE PROGRAMMED TO MY CAR AND I WAS QUOTED ABOUT $103 FOR INSTALLATION!!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN LISTED AS A RECALL AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I PLAN ON GETTING A PHONE NUMBER FROM THE DEALER FOR THE GM CORPORATE OFFICE TO FILE AN AUTOMOTIVE COMPLAINT TOMORROW. I HOPE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS PART AND THE LABOR CHARGE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND THANK GOODNESS MY CAR DID NOT START ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND STAYS ON EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

I START THE CAR AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS, AS I START DRIVING THE GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY GO TO THE EMPTY LINE AND START DINGING THAT I HAVE NO FUEL. ONCE IT SHOWED THAT I HAD A HALF A TANK OF GAS, BUT THEN I SUDDENLY RAN OUT. I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY TWO CHILDREN UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. THIS GAUGE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED DAILY SINCE DAY ONE. I AM NOW RELYING ON MY TRIP METER TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. I LIKE THIS VEHICLE BUT IF THIS CONTINUES WITH NO HELP FROM CHEVY/ GM I WILL BE FORCED TO TRADE THIS CAR IN! *TR

HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE RPM DROPPING WHILE IDLING AND THE HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERING AND SOMETIMES SHUTTING OFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CODE SAID IT WAS THE "IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE" IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR IS ENGAGED. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY WHEN THE AC IS TURNED OFF. HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET BECAUSE IT'S A FAIRLY EXPENSIVE PART. *TR

WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE CHEVROLET DEALER SHOP SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. TWICE IT WAS SENT WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND CAME BACK TO US WITH THE SAME LIGHT STILL ON. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE LAST ISSUE THAT WAS REPAIRED HAD TO BE FIXED TWO MORE TIMES BY MY HUSBAND. THE DEALER REPAIRMAN TOLD MY HUSBAND WHAT TO DO IN CASE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. $800 LATER, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ALSO, THE LAST TIME IT CAME BACK FROM THE DEALER, THE GAS GAUGE HAD STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE BEEN TRACKING MILES TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS; HOWEVER, I HAVE STILL RUN OUT OF GAS FIVE TIMES! AS A BUSY MOM, KEEPING UP WITH GALLONS AND MILEAGE BECOMES TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE. I'M DRIVING (STOP AND GO) 300+ MILES A WEEK. WE HAVEN'T TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OUR INCOME HAS SUFFERED A LOSS OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS; THEREFORE, WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF 2006 TRAILBLAZERS. I AM ASKING FOR HELP BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. *TR
