Faulty gauges. Gauges sometimes work, sometimes don't. When not working, service engine light comes on first and then nothing works on dash panel except signal lights. When it does work, normal startup of lights. Being the odometer is digital, no way of knowing how many miles I have gone which goes hand in hand with gas gauge not working so not a clue how much I have.

Gm recall: gm special coverage program 14423: november 2015. I took my truck into vandergriff chevrolet to check my fuel tank as I was experiencing the issues outlined in the recall letter. They concurred that I needed to replace the fuel tank. They let me have a rental for two weeks while the ordered the part. Once they found out that gm or affiliate no longer manufactures the part, they told me that gm would no longer pay for the rental. The advised me as they have no idea how long it would take to find a manufacturer to build a new fuel tank, that in order to avoid the gas fumes, it is safe to drive as long as I do not completely fill up the tank when I gas up. However, the check engine light still comes on of course, and that would prevent me from passing the state inspection which is due in two weeks. They offered no solution for me on that, and still no expectation as to when the fuel tank would be received .it has been 6 months now. I took my truck in originally in early december of 2015.

#1. On 2 occasions last week, my trailblazer suddenly lost most of its power, and the engine light reduced engine power came on! I pulled over, cut the car off, then restarted it, and was able to drive home. #2. The seat belts on the front passenger and rear right sides lock up tightly the moment you buckle up. It locks up so tightly that you cannot move if you wanted. These problems showed while driving on miami streets. #3. On 2 or 3 occasions a strong smell of gasoline came into the car while driving. The smell seemed to be coming from inside the back of the car, but I was unable to locate any gasoline back there. On another occasion, I smelled gas outside in the area of gas tank.

I was driving home from work and started hearing the trucks undercarriage start to rattle and grind on the bumps of the road. I had a sudden loss of power on engine and it wouldnt respond to my pressing on the gas. I believed that I had gas in the truck because the gauge read half full and apparently I was out of gas. So I proceeded to pull into a gas station and as soon as we filled up, the truck would not start! I saw that my check engine light was on and had to ask for a jumpstart to get it started again. At another time and date again the truck went dead, I asked for a jumpstart and the vehicle would not respond. I now had to buy a new battery because the car damaged the original battery and now with the new battery installed my car starts but will not stay on without me pressing on the gas while in park gear. I believe something may be defective with the electrical gauges, fuel delivery system, and suspension.

The revving up, jet noise, and lack of power from the engine and no acceleration when needed. Service engine light has come on several time p0495. Seems as though the problem has slowly got worse over the past year. Finally had to purchase a new fan clutch from automotive business and replace the part. A simple 5 minutes search of the problem on the internet showed a very eye opening response from several hundred other owners of similar trailblazers with same exact problem. The fan clutch was replaced with a new one and the old fan clutch is still available if anyone needs to see it.
