Three problems related to fuel hoses lines/piping and fittings have been reported for the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I had gone to a friends house and on the way home my power steering malfunctioned. I took the vehicle to a local auto repair shop and was told the power steering cooler had rusted through. I also had to replace this part on my 2003 Trailblazer not realizing there was a problem. If this part rusts out on different years of the same model there seems to be a problem. The vehicle became very hard to steer. I know for a fact that I and many other people have had problems with transmission lines gasoline lines and power steering lines. I had to replace the gasoline line and fuel pump on the 2003 , and just replaced transmission line on the 2007. I think there needs to be an engineering change on these vehicles. I also received a recall notice on the 2007 Trailblazer for the electric window switch. The notice said I would be notified when to bring my vehicle in. It has been several months since I received the notice and I am still waiting for notification. It cost me $350. 00 to have the power steering repaired. .
After filling my car up with gas, the fuel light began blinking and dinging with the gauge dropping to the empty level. I called a service center in victoria to inquire as to what they thought it could be and made an appointment to have it checked out. The center called me back telling me my warranty would not cover the visit and it wuld cost me approximately $140 just for them to look at it. I then made some calls to several auto parts stores to inquire the same and looked up online any recalls that may have been done in re to this issue. I cannot afford to get this fixed on my own. There is a smell of gas at times and it continues to fluctuate from empty to full, etc. I am a home health nurse and am on the road constantly. The car is also using more gas than usual and it is very difficult to determine how much I actually have in the tank. The smell of gas is nauseating and causes headaches. The idea fo running out of gas in a secluded area is frightening. I don't even know where to start as far as parts because technicians have told me it could be multiple things I feel like gms should be responsible for fixing this defect before something tragic happens. After going on line I noticed numerous consumers withthe same complaints and no resolution. The engine also had been on.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer has several complaints on-line about the fuel gauge not operating accurately and the need for the fuel sending unit needing to be replaced on several vehicles that are relatively new. This is an incredible nuisance. I have owned several vehicles in my life and have never had to replace this part in any car. I now have a 2007 Trailblazer and had to spend almost $600 on this part. I am curious why there are so many complaints on line and why there isn't a recall on this?.
