Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Jan 17, 2016
Gas gauge has not worked for at least 5 years every time I called the dealer they said no problem I think it is the fuel filter in the fuel tank and to fix that it will cost me about 1000.00 to fix.

Air Bags · reported Nov 11, 2014
I was notified a while back about defective air bags in 2005 chevy trailblazers and I would be contacted on what procedures to take in order of correcting air bag. No one ever contacted me, giving me instructions on where to take my trailblazer re: airbag to have it corrected. Did I receive the notification in error?

As of october 20,2014 I have yet to see the 1999 chevorlet s_10 ls or the 2005 chevorlet blazer s-t 4x4 my husband has tested both of these ignition switches and they are the same.

Got back on a smooth free way at 65 with no smoke. The switch arm got sloppier over time but still worked for about six months. Then one day I turn right with my signal on, windshield wipers came on by themselves, & the smoke was back (Much stronger ) while…

About a year ago I was driving to columbus, ohio and ran out of gas with the fuel gauge on full. This is a 2005 blazer. Was a year out of warranty and they wanted $800 dollars to take the fuel tank. Was told by the dealer this is a common problem, so where is the recall.
