I have brought my car into the dealership over the last few years at least 6 times for the same issues. Currently there are two codes coming up as permanent on my car which is for the Evaporative Emission System Flow and Brake Booster Hydraulics performance. I drive my child of three every day and the number of times my check engine light comes on and goes into reduced engine power is not okay nor safe.

05/29/24 I took this vehicle to Cronic Chevrolet in Griffin, Ga due to check engine light being on. Code detected purge pump it was still under warranty at that time only had 43,906 miles on had to get the purge pump replaced. Several weeks after getting it back I kept getting a shift to park message come up when trying to put it in park then started having trouble getting it to go into drive. I have had so many close calls from people almost bashing into me because my car will not go into drive and you constantly have to switch in and out of gears for it to finally go in. Its sucking the had right out due to it not shifting gears properly. The code reader detected transmission control module which I find to be faulty and understand there are serval recalls on this specific vehicle, when it started this issue it didn-??t even have 50,000 miles on it!

Very strong gas smells coming from under the hood. After driving a few miles, fumes enter the passenger compartment. Had to stop parking it in our garage for fear of a fire before I could get it into the dealer. I've been told it's a fuel leak associated with the fuel rail system. I'm 20 days past my warranty and only at 29,000 miles. It's a nearly $2000 fix. GM was aware of the problem in 2021 as there is a service bulletin for this item. I should have been notified in 2021 that there was a possible problem which could lead to a fire or explosion.

Took to mechanic due to strong fuel smell coming from engine area. Mechanic said not safe to drive - fuel rail leaking and must be replaced - vehicle could catch fire or explode! I drive grandchildren in this vehicle and was shook up! Vehicle towed to GM dealer who said I was 3400 miles passed my warranty but they would start work on my $3k repair. I-??m outraged that GM cares so little about this known issue from the GM bulletin PIP 5765 which was published 11/18/20. All this time they have known about faulty and dangerous part but only send recalls for minor issues like possible faulty tire jack.

3 times in the last year while we were driving the acceleration wen very high like from 50 to all of a sudden went up to about 80. I had to stand on the brake and try to pull over. Still accelerating I put it in park and shut it off. When you restart it it drive fine again. This has happened three times and the dealership says they can't find a problem. We are stuck driving a death trap. Please help. They wanna charge diagnosis everything I take it in. Then they say they can't find nothing. Now I am finding others that have had same issue and dealership says there is no problem. This has got to be destroying the engine reving at such high speeds.

I had a smell of gasoline inside and under hood of 2021 Trailblazer LT 1.3l. Took to Chevrolet dealer.Confirmed gas odor. Gas was leaking from fuel rail.Sevice manager said it was pouring out. Found out GM has Service bulliten for this PIP5765 that covers both Chevy Trailblazer with 1.3l and Buick Encore GX with 1.3l motors. This has been a scary situation considering gas fumes could have caught fire.
