Some of the items forthcoming happen all together and/or intermittently separate. The initial issues noticeably started upon my arrive in south carolina, but it was not something that immediately recognized before my relocation, because I thought it was something I did myself. I came out to my car on Saturday, 6/16/12. My car window was down and some items were stolen. I did not see any glass on the ground so I thought I left the window down myself and someone just stolen items. After speaking with the complex security and reporting the incident to hoa, I came out the truck again it smelled of wires burning and the window was down again. Several days later the tire pressure light was on and took the truck to get the wheels balanced and oil change at firestone.

A few months after that the smell of wires burning happened again and the engine remained on for over 2 weeks, then went off.

My fuel gauge meter doesn't work. When ever I start the car, the fuel meter drops to empty. Also, one day in summer of 2011, my driver-side power module just stopped working. The power windows and locks no longer work from my driver-side door. I am concerned I will run out of gas on the interstate or highway and cause a wreck. I also can not see in the mornings from my window because it gets foggy and there is no way to roll my window down. This is a serious safety hazard.
At first, fuel gauge would read full after fill up. Then at 1/2 full mark, the gauge would slowly go down and read empty. Low fuel warning light would come on and alert chimes. After 2 wks it would read full after fill up but now it goes down to empty after 2-3 blocks w/low fuel light on and alert chime. Now it just registers at a low level fuctuating and triping the low fuel warning light and alert chimes (on and off) over and over again as I drive. There is no actual accurate reading from the gauge at all. I'm driving around by using the trip-ometer to determine when to fill up again. Too expensive to fix.

2007 chevy Trailblazer fuel gauge quit working and constantly read "empty. " this is my only transportation and this put me at risk to both me and my family. Not kowing how much gas I have potentially put me at risk if I run out of gas while driving in heavy traffic or while on a trip. In the extreme heat it would be detrimental to have to walk to get gas. The risk of being stranded away from home or on a highway put my life in danger. The failure of the gas gauge and fuel detection unit occurred in January of 2010, which I couldn't afford to get fixed until recently, Feb. 1011. To fix the problem cost me a mortgage payment, and put me behind one month. The fact that this is a known and common issue for these vehicles makes it apparent that the fuel detection system is defective and fixng it should be the responsibility of Chevrolet. It is in the best interest of chevy to issue a recall on the unit to maintain consumer loyalty to the chevy brand. In the event I don't get reimbursed, I solemly swear that I will not purchase another chevy or gm vehicles. Needless to say, I tell everyone I know about this, and do what I can to sway them not to buy a Trailblazer due to this defect and the fact that Chevrolet won't even acknowledge that there should be a recall.
