Rear frame rail rust through at control arm mount locations on both driver and passenger side. In addition frame from suspension mount forward approx 2feet rust through. Vehicle was kept washed and has no other rust issues except for frame. I-€™ve learned that this was an issue from 2003 to 2008 model years. This issue has been checked and verified thru a reputable garage

My gas gauge reads empty all the time even after a fill up. It never moves. Also I have replaced shocks and struts all the way around the vehical but every time you hit a bump in the road it shakes you from side to side really hard.

I filled up my car and the fuel indicator went to empty. Now, sometimes it registers some fuel but not where it should be. It usually stays on E. this is a safety hazard because you don't know how much fuel you have. After reading the complaints seems this is a problem with most Trailblazers. The wheel hubs and bearings have also went gone since this happened the parts place says this is also a problem with Trailblazers.

I have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer lt, and I have noticed this strange sound lately when I start it up and it gets louder as you drive it. My father said that it is the bearings and the alternator, so I decided to look it up on the internet and saw multiple complaints on this issue with this particular model. I was told to file a complaint on a site, and was directed by many others who have experienced this issue. I am not happy, and I still owe on this vehicle and the warranty is conveniently up just as this is happening. I want this correct, and someone contacted GM and they stated that there is an issue with the pump and the electrical, well then they need to recall this vehicle and fix it for free.
