2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. I CONTACTED GOOD CHEVY IN RENTON, WA ON SATURDAY 3-14-15, ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AS THE RECALL PARTS WERE NOT OUT YET. I TOLD THEM I HAD A LETTER FROM GM THAT SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE WITH THE SAME AS IT HAD AND WHEN THE NEW MODULE COMES OUT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE. THEY INSISTED THAT I PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PARTS AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED AT A LATER TIME WHEN THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. I DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM MY SELF AND PURCHASED THE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED IT MY SELF. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR TO WORK AND LEAVES THE HOUSE AT 4:30 AM AND SHE NEEDS THE HEADLIGHTS TO WORK. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 14V-755. GM RECALL NUMBER IS 14291. THE LETTER STATES ALL THIS WILL BE DONE FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

MEANTIME THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

4WD DISENGAGES AND BECOMES 2WD ONLY 4WD WILL NOT REENGAGE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN MY DAD OPENED THE HOOD THERE WAS AN AROMA OF BURNING WIRE. MY DAD REMOVED THE RUBBER CAP FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT AND FOUND THE PLASTIC ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE LOW BEAM BULB WAS BURNT AND CHARRED. MY DAD REMOVED THE CONNECTOR IN ORDER TO AVOID A FIRE. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. I CONTACTED A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR COULD RUN HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. HAVE HAD IN GARAGE 4 TIMES AND NO ONE ABLE TO FIX. I HAVE HAD EVERY CODE FIXED AND CLEARED BUT LIGHT STILL STAYS ON. THE LAST TIME IN SHOP LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN ALL CODES RESET AND AS SOON AS I DROVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE, LIGHT RETURNED. NOW LIGHT GOES ON AND THEN OFF AND ON AGAIN. IT CAN LAST FOR DAYS OR A SHORT DRIVE. CAR RUNS FINE AND NO ONE CAN SEE TO FIND PROBLEM. *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AN MY CAR STARTED JERKING AS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN. I LET UP OFF THE GAS BUT AS SOON AS I APPLIED THE GAS IT CONTINUED, I THEN PULLED OVER TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AN STARTED IT BACK UP AN IT WAS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER, AN USUALLY WHEN I AM GOING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. I WOULD SAY IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10X IN THE PAST YEAR. *JS

(ON OR ABOUT JAN 9, 2015) UPON DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE 2006 TRAILBLAZER STALLED. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO CAR WAS BEHIND ME SINCE IT WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, AND I SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. AT THAT TIME THE PASSLOCK LIGHT LIT ON THE DASHBOARD. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED. (AGAIN ON FEB 4, 2015) DRIVING ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH (INTENDING TO TURN LEFT IN A APPROX 50 YARDS) IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE TRAILBLAZER STALLED. AGAIN THE PASSLOCK LIGHT LIT ON THE DASHBOARD, I AGAIN QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED. AGAIN WE WERE FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE A CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND US, OR WE WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN REAR ENDED! *TR

THE ISSUE BEGAN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON/OFF AND SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS CAUSED VISIBILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. *TR

HAVE NOT OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2010-TRADED IN TO INDEPENDENCE HONDA, BLOOMSBURG, PA PLEASE TAKE ME OFF LIST- I CONTINUE TO GET EVERY RECALL. THANK YOU, [XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER.

THE PROBLEM STARTED ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2015; I STARTED MY CAR UP TO LET IT WARM UP WHILE I DUSTED OFF THE SNOW. I NOTICE MY HEATED SEATS WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AS SOON AS I RESTARTED IT THE CAR BEGAN TO BACKFIRE AND STALE. IT WOULD START BUT THEN STALE OUT. I HAD TO GET THE TRUCKED TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC. I PICK UP MY TRUCK THAT EVENING AND IT RAN FINE. THE NEXT MORNING THURSDAY JANUARY 22, I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HOWEVER, EVERY STOP I CAME TO THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THEN WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT THE NEXT STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL I WAS DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC. AGAIN THAT EVENING I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FRIDAY JANUARY 23, I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC. HE KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAY. I FINALLY PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY JANUARY 24 AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE IS STUMPED. IT DROVE GREAT AFTER PICKING IT UP. THEN THIS MORNING JANUARY 25, AS I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, MY CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN TWO HILLS. THEN IT STALED 2 MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS A RED LIGHTS. I NEARLY MISSED TWO ACCIDENTS. BY DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL THE LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM. I CA

THE ISSUE BEGAN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON/OFF AND SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS CAUSED VISIBILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIDER STAY ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT STOPPING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE DRIVER DRIFTED OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

IN LIEU OF ALL THE CURRENT RECALLS APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE, NON OF WHICH AFFECT MINE. THE ONE RECALL THAT GM SHOULD BE ISSUING, I HAVE YET TO SEE, WHICH IN MY CONCERN COULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY MATTER. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE PART AND/OR SYSTEM. QUOTING GM'S CLAIM ON THE RECALL NOTICE IN MY POSSESSION..." GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2006 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. AS A RESULT, GM IS CONDUCTING A SAFETY RECALL. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE. HOWEVER, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY AND CONTINUED SATISFACTION WITH OUR PRODUCTS. " CAREFUL REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION ON THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, *TR

IGNITION SWITCH KEY CANT BE RELEASED WHEN TRYING TO GO TO THE LOCK POSITION WHEN IN PARK. *TR

AFTER 50,000 MILES GAS TANK SENSOR STOPS WORKING. THEREFORE THE GAS LIGHT REMAINS LIT EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL - THIS ALSO CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (RESULTING IN A FAILED INSPECTION). PER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 50K MILES. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE GAS TANK AND SENSOR (EVERY 50K MILES). *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT CLOSE TO MY HOUSE WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF COMPLETELY. I TRIED SWITCHING THEM ON AND OFF WITH THE SWITCH TO NO AVAIL, BUT FOUND THAT THE HIGH BEAMS DO WORK. THERE WERE MANY INSTANCES IN THE PAST WHERE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THOUGHT THAT THE LIGHTS HAD FLICKERED, BUT WASN'T COMPLETELY SURE UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TODAY, AND THE WOMAN TOLD ME THAT SHE COULD NOT FIND A RECALL OR EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AFTER I TOLD HER THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000. DJR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER DARK, IN FAIRLY BUSY TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS, THE LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING.. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO CHECK BUT STILL NO HEADLIGHTS.. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM? THANK YOU! *TR

AFTER I FILLED THE FUEL TANK IN MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN RESETTING MY TRIP METER WHEN EVER I FUEL UP,BUT MY HUSBAND FORGOT TO AFTER FILLING UP AND RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN HE WASN'T SURE OF HOW MUCH GAS THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY HAD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER I FOUND THAT THE NHTSA HAD A DEFECT INVESTIGATION ON MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD ONLY BE REPLACED IF THE VEHICLE WAS 120,000 MILES OR UNDER AND UNTIL AUGUST 2015.NOW I HAVE 122,000 MILES I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART MYSELF? THE PROBLEM AND DANGER OF ENGINE STALL STILL EXISTS DUE TO LOW FUEL LEVELS NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS.THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DID NOT INFORM US THAT WE HAD TO DISPOSE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER 120,000 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE UNSAFE AND NO WARRANTY TO REPAIR A DANGEROUS RECALL.I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NO MATTER WHAT THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THE DANGERS STILL EXIST.I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THIS AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN YOU CRANK THE VEHICLE THE WIPERS COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF.IT ALSO PUTS OUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID EMPTIES OUT ALL WASHER FLUID AND THE MOTOR STILL RUNS. MOTOR NEVER STOPS RUNNING FOR THE WIPERS. WILL EVENTUALLY BURN OUT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THEM TO COME ON AGAIN AND HAD TO DRIVE 15 MILES IN TRAFFIC WITH THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. I CHECKED THE LAMPS, SOCKETS, FUSES AND WIRING. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND, SO I REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT RELAY. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUE TO INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. AFTER PARKING THE CAR THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. THE DEALER AND GM SAY THERE IS A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR SOME 2006 TRAILBLAZERS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. GM NEEDS TO EXPAND THIS PENDING RECALL TO COVER ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL THE DEALER REPLACED A PART IN THE FUEL TANK AND TRIED TO SELL US A FUEL PUMP AT THE SAME TIME. MY WIFE NOW TELLS ME THAT SINCE THIS SERVICE SHE HAS OCCASIONALLY SMELLED GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND AT TIMES QUITE STRONG. AT FIRST SHE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUMES FROM OTHER VEHICLES. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ALOT, SO IT HAS NOT BEEN NOTICED BY ME. IS IT BECAUSE OF A COMPLETE FILL UP OR IS IT BECAUSE THERE IS A SEAL NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THERE BE GASOLINE FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH TELLS ME THAT ANY SPARK OF ANY KIND COULD IGNITE THOSE FUMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICITY AND POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,800.

MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WENT OUT. WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK THE GAS GAUGE REMAINS AT EMPTY. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY MATTER. I CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY CAR WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING GAS GAUGE. IF MY CAR RUNS OUT OF FUEL AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS IT WOULD BE TOTALLY AVOIDABLE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THE NTSB OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BUT FAILED TO ACT. I WOULD BE OK WITH PAYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE IF IT WAS A RARE OCCURRENCE BUT CLEARLY THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND GM AND NTSB ARE AWARE. NTSB WOULD BE COMPLICIT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING TO PROTECT THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE ROAD. IF THE NTSB CANNOT MAKE GM RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM THAN I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE NTSB DOES AND I WOULD ADVOCATE NOT FUNDING THIS ENTITY. PLEASE ACT ON THIS MATTER AND MAKE GM RECALL AND REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2014, AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30 A.M. WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION MY 2006 TRAILBLAZER EXT CAUGHT ON FIRE. WE BOTH SMELLED SMOKE, PARKED (DIDN'T TURN OFF THE IGNITION) AND FLAMES BEGAN TO SHOOT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE GOT OUT AND RAN TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AS THE FIRE ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT MOTOR AREA. MY PURSE WAS STILL IN THE BURNING VEHICLE AND I TOLD MY HUSBAND HE RAN BACK TO THE BURNING VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE IT. HE SUSTAINED BURNS TO HIS HANDS, FACE, LEGS AND FEET. IN ADDITION HE RECEIVED SMOKE INHALATION TO A DEGREE OF A "BLACK OUT" STAGE. WE WITNESSED THE TIRES BURN UP ONE AFTER ANOTHER, BEGINNING WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE, THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE REAR DRIVER'S AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE - AT THIS POINT WE MOVED FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BURNING VEHICLE AS WE EXPECTED THE CAR TO EXPLODE ONCE IT REACHED THE GAS TANK AREA, BUT SOMEHOW THE GAS TANK DIDN'T EXPLODE. IN FACT, THE SPARE TIRE WHICH SITS UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK RECEIVED A SLIGHT SINGE AND DID NOT BURN (ALONG WITH THE GAS TANK). THE ONLY WARNING WE HAD WAS THE "SMELL OF SMOKE" - THE TRAILBLAZER'S DASH WARNING LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR TO INDICATE ANYTHING WAS WRONG. IN ADDITION, ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 25, 2014, ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER (SAME AREA) ALSO BURNT UP (AS REPORTED BY BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT). *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD NO ACCELERATION, I LOSE POWER STEERING. VEHICLE WAS STILL POWERED ON BUT I COULD NOT PICK UP SPEED OR STEER VEHICLE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND CUT OFF IGNITION THEN RESTART VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED I HAD FULL FUNCTIONALITY AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. VEHICLE HAS ALSO STARTED STALLING WHEN ATTEMPT TO START UP. *TR

MY DOOR MODULE WENT BAD. THE PART HAS A RECALL, THE MANUFACTURE DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. THE MANUFACTURE WANTS ME TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THEN REIMBURSE ME WHEN THEY HAVE THE FIX. I COULDN'T MAKE SENSE OF THIS SINCE THE PART IS UNDER RECALL JUST SWAP IT OUT FOR ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN EVER THEY HAVE A FIX LET ME KNOW I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE. WHY PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS A RECALL. IF YOUR GOING TO REIMBURSE ME ANYWAY! I WILL LIKE TO KEEP MY 500+ AND NOT WAIT FOR GM TO PAY ME BACK. PLUS THEY WANT TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

ON 11 FEB 2013, I WAS GETTING GAS WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN ACTING CRAZY. IT WOULD GO TO FULL THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER GO TO EMPTY AND MY FUEL LIGHT WOULD GO ON. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I SHOULD GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SEE THERE IS AN OPEN ACTION ON THIS #DP10001.

STARTED RAINING, TURNED ON WIPERS AND WASHERS STARTED WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT STOP. COULD NOT ADJUST SPEED OF WIPERS NOR TURN OFF WASHERS. RAN OFF SIDE OF ROAD BECAUSE WIPERS COULDN'T KEEP WITH UP AMOUNT OF WASHER FLUID BEING SPRAYED ON WINDOW. I COULDN'T SEE. WASHERS WOULDN'T STOP!! ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF WIPERS/WASHERS TO NO AVAIL. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED ENGINE WITH WIPERS TURNED OFF. WIPERS STILL RESTARTED WHEN ENGINE STARTED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TURNED OFF. WIPERS/WASHERS COME ON RANDOMLY WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON AND RUN FOR INDETERMINATE TIMES BEFORE TURNING OFF. WITHOUT CONTROL, WINDSHIELD WASHERS START AND STOP RANDOMLY BLINDING THE DRIVER. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED. I ALMOST WAS! *TR

IT STAYED LIKE THIS FOR AN APPROX. 1/4 TANK, THEN WENT TO THE ACTUAL FUEL AMOUNT. THIS OCCURRED FOR ABOUT THE NEXT 5 FILL UPS, THEN THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL....ALWAYS SHOWING EMPTY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME RUNNING OUT OF FUEL TWICE, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE SAFELY, BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE FOUND NO RECALLS, BUT MANY COMPLAINTS! WHAT'S UP WITH THIS! I HAVE LOST TRUST IN CHEVY FOR NOT FIXING AN OBVIOUS FACTORY PROBLEM! *TR
