The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the fuel gauge would fail intermittently. In addition, the check engine light would illuminate sporadically.

Fuel gauge has failed. At any given time, I am uncertain of the amount of fuel in my gas tank. I have contacted the dealer, they said they would diagnose the problem for $99, and the repair could cost $600 - $800. This is an obvious defect and should be replaced by gm as part of a recall. Since I could run out of gas at any time, it is obviously a safety issue.
Driver side speaker intermittently comes on (rarely). Driver side window switch intermittently works. It used to intermittently fail, now it rarely works. Occasionally, all the driver controls on the dashboard go dead and the radio doesn't work. The lock doesn't work. The abs light and traction control light always illuminate. This intermittent electrical problem has been one big headache and it all seems to point to the drivers side window switch which is under investigation for fires. There is a defect in these window switches and the owners of the vehicles should not be burdened financially because of this.
Window doesn't roll down or stay up. Gas gauge broke . . Engine light and catalytic converter light stays on. Handle design on door came off. Engine went out due to a pistol loose.
