About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The stabilitrac system on my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer is giving warning lights on the dashboard because of a failure in a read wheel speed sensor and a steering wheel position sensor. These failures occurred just one year after the warranty expired, and I have seen numerous internet posts from other Trailblazer owners with the same problem. This is a safety issue because if the stabilitrac system fails, the vehicle will not safely navigate slick road conditions.

Fuel sensor quit working around 40,000 miles and now the 4WD is no longer working at 43,000. I can't afford $3,000 in repairs and after looking at thousands of similar complaints NHTSA needs to demand recalls as these malfunctions are serious and can result in bodily injury or death.

Traction control lights on and off intermittently. I had a sensor replaced that was located in the steering column behind the airbag and that worked for a few weeks but it is back to going on and off. That sensor and labor cost me $500 total because I had to have it looked at 3 times. Fuel gauge always reads empty. I have done some research on the fuel gauge problem and there are a ton of the same problems out there. This should be a recall immediately. I have to get the fuel pump and sensor replaced at a cost of $800 to $1000. The trouble started at about 55,000 miles. Shame on Chevrolet for letting this go on. They know about the problem and wont do a recall to help the little guy. All I've ever owned is Chevy's....but no more!!!
