Vehicle stalls and shuts down everyday. Sometimes just stalls then accelerates, sometimes shuts off and I can switch to neutral and restart while coasting. Other times I get shutdown warning light and engine will not restart. I have to coast to the shoulder and wait. Engine will then struggle to restart and engine shakes violently. I wait a few minutes and it will start and run fine, sometime with check engine light on, sometimes not. Rpm gauge works sometimes, sometimes not. At time there has been no response when turning key to start. On going issue!! Crankshaft position sensor has been replaced 3 times, and issue still persist. Major safety issue!!

Gas gauge now has frozen all of a sudden after 50,000 miles. I filled up my tank full, started the trailblazer, and the gas gauge only says tank is 1/4 full!!! ? The check engine light goes on and off along with the ABS and stabilitrak lights. Sometimes they are frozen and stay on for days. I understand there are alot of problems with the electrical system on these vehicles! ? Unfortunately! :-( and now......the gas gauge too???!!! This does not make me happy! Always loved chevy vehicles! I don't know about anymore! How to rectify the gas gauge????
Drivers door module malfunctions, windows can go down but can not control up on rear window. I was told by gm and dealer that it is not covered by recall the federal safety agency #12v406000 or #13v248000, gm #12180. I was never notified of this recall even though the trailblazer was originally purchased when I lived in indiana and the federal safety agency 12v406000 covers this. They want me to pay for the repair.
While driving on 96 freeway, my SUV shut off without warning. Ever since then it continued to shut off at random times. Had the ignition switch replace and would like to be refunded for the repairs. I just seen on the fox news that general motors is recalling vehicles of my year that's why I'm reporting.

My fuel gauge is starting to fluctuate. I just filled it up and when I go down the road it will go down at least a quarter of a tank and when I stop and let it run idle for awhile it will go back to where it was. It just started this past week. From what I am reading, it won't belong before I will have to spend another bunch of money into it. Last month I had to put a new throttle body on it because the sensors went bad and with this year the sensors are in the throttle body, so you have to buy the whole thing. As I was getting into the vehicle about a month ago, the part for the seat controls on the bottom side of the seat just busted off. Everytime it gets colder out, the stabilitrak system won't stay on. It was always off in the winter time, never worked. When living in michigan and getting lake effect snow alot of the time, it would be nice to have it available. I will never buy another gm product. Been buying them and my family members for more than 50 years, more and more of the newer vehicles have too many problems. I don't make that much money to keep putting money into a vehicle that is supposedly reliable and take days off of work to get them fixed. No thank you.
I bought my 2007 trailblazer in september 2012. I was so excited, but a few days after purchase the driver door window regulator stopped working. I contacted chevy and they told me there were no open recalls on this yet and are continuing to tell me this. They wanted over $500 to fix the issue for me. When I looked I noticed that there are recalls on this item, but still chevy keeps telling me there is no open recall. I am scared after reading other complaints that this could lead to a possible fire.
Traveling at 65 MPH at 9pm on a unlighted, remote highway the low beam headlights went off. The headlight switch was in the automatic position. I tried all headlight switch positions and determined that only the parking lights worked. I did not try the high beam switch. I was behind a large truck which I followed since there was no location to safely stop. I planned to follow this truck to the next town about 6 miles away. After about 4 miles the lights came back on. I had not noticed any others issues with the lights in the past. I have left the headlight switch in the automatic position all the time.
While picking my children up from school on 11/15/2012 I smelled burning plastic, then I looked down at the drive door it was smoking really bad. I put the car and park and opened the door, a police officer was near as I was in the school zone he saw the smoke coming from my car and ask me was I okay. He turned the car off unsure if a fire was started on the inside of the door. After about an hour the smoke stopped, but my main power window and door was not working anymore. My car smelled like burning plastic for months. I was advised that the motor may have burned out and it would cost $550.00 to have repaired. I noticed on 01/26/2013 my gas gauge was not working. I stopped at a local gas station and filled my car up with $62.00 worth the gas and when I turned the car on it showed my car was on empty and the gauge light remained lit along with my engine light. So I turned the car back off and waited about 30 sec and turned it back on it stayed the same. I took it to the shop and was advised the fuel sensor was bad and I would need to have a new fuel pump put in. I bought my car on 02/27/2010 pre-owned with 76,000 miles on it, and was given a car fax report, and it was clean. I read all these reviews about the 2007 trailblazers and it seems they all have the same issues. These issues need to be corrected as they have to be a manufacture defect.

Within the past 6 months, various electrical and fuel problems have emerged: the fuel gauge no longer functions at all (it always shows "empty"); the A/C works intermittently; the rear A/C and heater do not function regularly; the service engine light is always lit; odd and random issues with the stereo system occur (stations & settings randomly changing on their own, powering on/off by itself, not powering on/off as it should, & only one speaker is working at the moment); the key not releasing from the ignition; engine not turning over to start; battery dying without reason; power steering failure; alt. Gauge dropping; reduced engine power while on the highway (suddenly limiting speed to 20 MPH or less); rear wiper turning on by itself; power seat malfunctioning; rough engine idle; entire instrument panel lighting up; running out of fuel while the gauge indicates that there is ample fuel in the tank; brake lamps not functioning; reduced gas mileage. On 02/25/2013, the controls on the driver's side doors stopped working; the windows will not operate or lock/unlock, the exterior mirrors will not adjust, and the locking mechanism will not work. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership for diagnostic testing at least a half dozen times, and each time no problems were detected, no explanations given, and no remedies suggested! From what I've gathered, there were recalls issued for electrical/wiring problems as well as fuel gauge problems, yet I have never received notice of any such recalls from gm!
Pushed to put passenger window down and would not go up, stuck open. Evidently the window regulator broke at a part cost of about 300.00. Just had in for a blower problem where the blower came on while the car was just sitting in the garage with no keys or anyone in it. That was 400.00 some dollars. This car does not seem like it should be having these problems.
Driver's door module shorted out and produced a smoky smell.
