I purchased this vehicle in February 2015 with 71,000 - the body was very well kept inside and out. What I didn't know was the extensive amount of rust and corrosion under the vehicle, which did not show initially. I have only had same a little over a year and have had to already replace front arm joints because they snapped in half and my tire was sitting crooked and in danger of falling off!! fuel lines had to be replaced because they completed rusted through and gasoline was leaking out all over. The driver door was checked 2x as it does not shut correctly and I can hear wind getting into the vehicle while driving (not to mention water pouring in over the driver's side door and door controls), the brakes go completely to the floor (despite being fixed), the abs light and check engine light stay on despite being checked - this truck design is terrible and it now rides and sounds like a bucket of bolts. I have had many trucks from GMC jimmy, Chevrolet trailblazer, etc. - I have never had one that has gone completely sour in so short a time. I have also read the numerous accounts of people in accidents with this year vehicle and the brakes failing and airbags not deploying - I am seriously scared to drive this vehicle anymore. I am a single mother of 2 and thought I was purchasing a reliable vehicle for my family from a reputable company. I see that most of the complaints - if they were investigated by chevy - were deemed "no problem found" and swept under the rug. What do I do?! I have already spent over $1,000 to fix this vehicle and it still has issues - I simply cannot afford to keep sinking $$ into a vehicle that is going to bleed me dry.

The fuel gage sensor system becomes faulty after 74,000 miles. Mine started at approx. 90,000 miles. I have learned online this has happened to many 2002 Blazer owners & gm will not address the issue. Because of this the cars will not pass emissions due to a diagnostic trouble code & costs over $1,000 to repair on a 12 year old vehicle even thought it has nothing to do with the actual emission output. It is one thing to have parts break down with age and quite another to have the same part become faulty on a large scale. I cannot renew my plates due to the emission failure and cannot afford to fix a gage for a $1,000. Gm needs to recall the vehicles and admit their fault using a cheap faulty part to save $$. I know this may not be a "safety" concern per say but gm advised me to make a complaint with NHTSA. My vehicle is my lively hood & I don't know what else to do.

Ever since I own this vehicle, the ignition switch does not lock. Therefore it is possible to leave the truck and not know the ignition switch is still in the on position. Also, the gas gauge bounces all over the place and I have to use the trip to know when I need gas. This has also been a problem since I own the truck. Occasionally, the low fuel light comes on (I know I have fuel) and the truck starts acting like it's low on gas.

The 06 trailblazer ran out of fuel on the freeway! there is a known recall on the trailblazer but gm will only pay half of the repair I think it is a safety issue and should have gm pay the complete cost!.

Fuel level sensor quit working.

Fuel gage switches between full to empty all the time. When the car is at stop and running, to driving down the road. You never really know how much gas you really have. I have taken to writing down the mileage every time I fill up.

Fuel gage shows low fuel then full then back to low fuel . It does not give a accurate reading.

Engine light keeps coming on had a diagnostic check done with the code p0440 coming up which is the evaporative emissions system yet no-one can find anything wrond with the Blazer.

Fuel gage fluctuates between empty and 1/3 full without warning. This happens in park and when driving. You never know how much gas you have. I have seen it drop form 1/4 full to completely empty in seconds. I have run out of gas on way to work when gas gage said 1/4 full when I started off to work, only a couple of miles away. I have told local chevy dealer ( h & h ) about problem when having service but they said that was not a problem, was probably because you were on a slope. This has been an ongoing problem since I originally purchased SUV new.

Gage package (water temp, fuel, oil pressure, battery amps) occasionally give higher false readngs and sticks. Readings do not reset to zero as with normal starting of the truck. This is a safety hazard as it preoccupies and may overly concern the driver with a false condition of the vehicle.

Fuel system failed.
