| 2005 | STEERING | NEW TRAILBLAZER HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING IS ULTRA SENSITIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MINOR CORRECTIONS TEN TO CAUSE OVERSTEERING AND SWAYING OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IN AN EMERGENCY HIGHWAY SITUATION THE STEERINGS SENSITIVITY COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE ROLLOVER SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE SINCE THE CAR WAS DELIVERED AND THEY SAID THE TIRES AND ALIGNMENT ARE ALL WITHING SPECS. THE MANAGER DID COMMENT AFTER DRIVING MY CAR THAT HE THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND THAT CHEVY MAKES CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND THIS SEEMS TO BE THE MOST SENSITIVE. HE SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A REPORT. THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID ALL WAS WITHIN SPECS AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I THINK THIS IS A POTENTIALLY MAJOR ISSUE AND SOMEONE SHOULD REVIEW THE SAFTEY ASPECS OF THIS STEERING. |
| 2007 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER | 2007 TRAILBLAZER LT 58,000 MI. FUEL GAUGE ONLY READS CORRECTLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. ANYTHING LESS THAT 3/4 OF A TANK AND THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. GAUGE WILL OCCASIONALLY FLUCTUATE BETWEEN ACCURATE READING AND EMPTY BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT JUST STAYS AT EMPTY. NEVER REALLY SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK SO HAVE TO GO BY THE ODOMETER READING. VEHICLE IS BEYOND WARRANTY AND DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING WRONG WITH PART. *TR |
