What owners wrote
My 2007 new trailblazer started on fire while it was off and parked for over 12 hours in may of 2008. After 2 and 1/2 months of not having my truck it was determined to be an electrical short. GM admitted it was a fault of theirs seeing as my truck was not even a year old and purchased new. Ever since the car was returned back to me the indicator lights go on and off and today I was driving and the check engine came on.
Fuel gauge acts radically going from empty to full. At this time is cause the vehicle to stop and go as if it's out of gas. This has happen at 55 miles an hour to low as 35 MPH. This has happen with in traffic almost causing the person from behind to hit me at high speeds. This has happen in a part of the city where a person like me, a white, female, and alone at the time could have lost a lot due to the high crime rate in the area.
