2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer: loss of power steering

Filed Jan 4, 2017 · Steering · 70,000 miles · ND

My trailblazer sprung a major power steering fluid leak. I lost power steering after coming out of a grocery store, it was -10 degrees outside and I used my autostart while inside the store. I came out and did not have p/s and noticed a large puddle under the car. I looked under the hood when I got home, and the high pressure hose disconnected from where the high pressure hose meets the metal tube before entering the rack

My son in law was driving the car with my permission and while making a left turn the vehicle stalled; there was no steering or brakes. The steering wheel locked up during the turn and caused the vehicle to continue turning on it's own and I proceeded to hit a pole. The radio and lights were still on during this time, however, the engine shut off.

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!

I will soon be replacing my 3rd fuel pump. You can not purchase a sending unit separately and you can not replace a fuel filter for maintenance. Also the master window switch stopped operating yesterday after a burning smell filled the truck. The master window switch is melted. Had issues with I first bought the truck with it "shutting down" on the highway, no gas, no power steering, no control. Received a year of free oil changes from chevy after a complaint was filed, they still to this day can not tell my why my truck would randomly shut down. *tr ....updated 06/18/12 *bf updated ivoq 06/20/12

2007 chevy trailblazer with 64,000 miles. Fuel gauge will move around no matter how much gas in it. Could have a full tank & one minute it will read full, next minute low fuel light is coming on. 3 times now, my trailblazer shut off going down the road, which means no power steering or power brakes. It thinks it's out of fuel, when there is fuel in it. After sitting a few minutes along side the road, I start it up & I'm good to go. I have to keep it filled all the time, because the gauge will not read correctly. Sometime sitting at idle I've watched it go to empty & back up while I'm just sitting there.
