Filed Feb 23, 2013 · Electrical · 122,000 miles · NJ

2005 cheverlot trailblazer has had an issue since I purchased it in 2004 with stalling out. However over the last 4 years I have had an issue of no start... Everything has been replaced by the dealer ignition switch, alternator, starter, exhaust, etc.... Last result was the PCM powertrain module supposedly the brains of the car. However the same day it stalled again, most recently my dealership took it for a week and said they could not reduplicate issue. So there again I am at the same place where the car will be fine for weeks then do a no start untill after serveral attempts and smell of gas finally the car will start. Chevrelot trailblazer have known this problem for awhile has done nothing about it ...resolve the issue and do a recall spent over $10,000 on just maintenance.. What is chevy going to do about this issue? *tr ## VIN failed ##

While waiting in line of a car wash my chevy trailblazer shut off and a strong smell of gas filled the vehicle while what appeared to be gas leaked from under the driver seat. After doing some reading on the issue I'm discovering this is happening regularly to chevrolet vehicles and recalls are not being made. Had we been on the highway or a busy street where people constantly flick cigarettes out the window, this could have played out differently. I understand that it can be costly to have a recall but my whole family was in the SUV and from the sound of it so were other family's. I have had no major problems with my vehicle and very upset that this is a problem that could have been avoided and cost less if a recall had been issued. I will never buy another chevrolet for not valuing their customers!

Shortly after my 2005 chevy trail blazer was out of warranty the gas gauge failed and left me stranded. When I fill the tank it registers empty. Also left my wife and child stranded one other time. The gas gauge registers empty all the time now. After researching this on the internet I found that there are 100's of people that have this problem with either there envoy or there trailblazer. Also have had a smell of gasoline from time to time.

1. Check engine light stays on consistently no matter what repairs I have done. 2. Speedometer fails to constantly. I recently got a speeding ticket for not staying within speed limit. 3. Dealership has constantly said they have not heard of any complaints by any consumers. 4. Onstar system has failed from a year after purchase. 5. Occasionally stalls and smells of gasoline.
