TL* 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. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 09-08, WITH ROUGHLY 45000, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH AT CHEVY DEALER THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD ON THE NUMBER FOUR CYLINDER. FILED BBC COMPLAINT AND SPOKE WITH CHEVY WHO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. COUPLE MONTHS LATER AND APPROX MILEAGE 60000, THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM DASH LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED CHEVY ABOUT THE OTHER TWO ISSUES AS I FELT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING THE SAME AS THE HEAD PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE HAVING THE SUV REPAIRED BECAUSE OF A DRIVE TRAIN FAILURE, THE AUTO DEALERSHIP INDICATED TO ME THAT THE FAN CLUTCH WAS NOT WORKING AND DEFAULTED TO MAXIMUM SPEED. *TR

WHEN I DID A ROUTINE FILL UP ON MY VEHICLE AND UPON RESTARTING THE CAR AFTER COMPLETION, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STILL SHOWED LOW FUEL. AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME, I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED CORRECTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. HOWEVER, UPON THE NEXT FILL UP, IT DID THE SAME THING. NOW, IT IS AT THE POINT THAT IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE GAS IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. ONE MINUTE IT SHOWS EMPTY, THE NEXT IT SHOWS CORRECTLY, AND THEN IT SLOWLY GOES BACK TO EMPTY. I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP GAUGE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. THE...

MY SON AND HUSBAND PURCHASED A USED 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SS ON NOV 4, 2008. THEY PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ZURICH. ON FEB 14, 2009 THE ENGINE BLEW UP. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON NOTIFYING THE DRIVER OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR. ZURICH ASKED FOR THE MECHANIC TO REBUILD THE MOTOR, NOW THE MOTOR STILL IS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY THE MECHANIC OR ORDER A NEW MOTOR. THEY WANT HIM TO TAKE IT APART AGAIN. I AM WONDERING IF MORE OWNERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS MOTOR-LS2 427. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS A THIRD PARTY? IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE FEB 14, 09, AND MY SON HAS BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR MOST OF THE DURATION AND PAYING FOR A TRUCK HE CAN'T DRIVE. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR
