2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 370 complaints

STEPPER MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALL WENT OUT IN THREE SEPARATE GAUGES. SPEEDOMETER, ALTERNATOR AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES. ITEMS FAILED AND GAUGES BECAME ERRATIC AND THEN POINTED EITHER STRAIGHT DOWN OR PEGGED LEFT OR RIGHT. GIVING INCORRECT OR NO READING. *TR

GAS GUAGE READS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH FULL TANK, BATTERY AND TEMP GAUGE ALSO GO UP AND DOWN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I KNOW OF MORE THAN 8 PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES OF DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS WITH SAME ISSUE. CHEVY SENT A LETTER SAYING THAT THEY WOULD PAY 50% FOR THE REPAIR OF THE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IF THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 120,00 MILES OR WAS 10 YEARS OLD OR LESS. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 146,000 MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED A YEAR AGO WHEN THERE WERE ONLY APPROX. 120,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BEING THAT MY WIFE TRANSPORTS MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD I NEGLECT TO TELL HER SHE NEEDS FUEL, SHE RUNS THE RISK OF BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY FAMILY, OR WORSE ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE COULD STALL WITH NO WARNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WORKS ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER, THE FIRST PROBLEM HAD TO DO WITH THE GAS NOT PUMPING. IT WOULD CAUSE THE PUMP TO CUT OFF. THE PASSENGER SEAT'S PLASTIC SIDE BROKE OFF AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKE. THE DRIVER'S LUMBAR SELECTOR QUIT WORKING.THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. I USE MY GPS.THEN THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING, THE "DUMMY LIGHT" STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. CD IS HUNG UP IN THE RADIO. THE FRONT FAN FOR AC/HEATING QUIT WORKING.THE OTHER FANS WORK AND THE AC COOLS.EVIDENTLY THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINS WITH THIS CERTAIN MAKE/MODEL GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEMS. IF THEY DON'T FIX MY PROBLEMS MY NEST CAR WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE AN AMERICAN MADE ONE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ALOT OF PRIDE WHEN WE HAVE TO BEG TO GET OUR CARS FIXED WHEN SHODDY PARTS ARE USED ON OUR CARS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND LESS THEN 3 YEARS AND ONLY ABOUT 1,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING. GM JUST SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE FOR ONLY 50% WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT FUEL GAUGE JUST STAYED ON EMPTY EVENTHOUGH I ALWAYS FILLED UP THE TANK. I WENT ON RESEARCH FORUMS IF THERE'S ANY RECALL FOR THIS MODEL SINCE I'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE TRUCK MONTHLY AND CANNOT PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET STATING IN SOME VEHICLES, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MAY WEAR PREMATURELY CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT ALSO STATES THE GAUGE WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. IT ALSO STATES THAT GM WILL PAY 50% OF THE TOTAL COST FOR AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR IT SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A 2005 TRAIL BLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. MY TWO GIRLS HAVE BOTH BEEN IN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN THEY RAN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS ESTIMATED BY 2 MECHANICS AT @ $850.00. *TR

THE DASH BOARD CLUSTER STOP WORKING SO THE AMOUNT OF GAS I PUT IN THE CAR DOES NOT SHOW HOW MUCH. THE SPEED OF THE CAR I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING. *KB

EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON THE 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WITH 4.2 ENGINE LEAKS EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE AIR AND INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CREATING AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD OF DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE BREATHING THE FUMES. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NEAR TO NON EXISTENT SINCE THERE ARE APPARENTLY SO MANY OF THE VEHICLES WITH HIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART FOR 3 WEEKS AND NOTHING YET. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY PARTS STORES, AND DEALERSHIPS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THEM AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS DO NOT HAVE THEM EITHER, NEITHER DO THE ONLINE WEBSITES. THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE IN JUNK YARDS EITHER. NO OPTIONS AT THE MOMENT AND VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS CURRENT STATE INSPECTION. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR UNIT FAULTY. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT CORRECTLY SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE FUEL HAS BEEN FILLED. ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION MY SPOUSE WAS LEFT STRANDED DUE TO THIS FAILURE. *TR

FILLED UP WITH GASOLINE. FUEL GAUGE SAID EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT REMAINED ON AND WARNING BELL SOUNDED. AFTER QUITE SOME TIME, USUALLY WITH MULTIPLE START UPS, THE FUEL LIGHT WENT OFF AND GAUGE WORKED ALTHOUGH INTERMITTENTLY AND NOT NECESSARILY ACCURATELY. IT WOULD GO UP AND DOWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES. IT WAS NOT NOTICEABLE IF ANY PARTICULAR ACTION AFFECTED IT, SUCH AS ACCELERATION. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT SAYS ITS EMPTY WHEN I FILL THE TANK AND ANY OTHER TIME FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE TO USE THE "FUEL USED" DATA IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER TO FIGURE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS USED TO KNOW WHEN TO FILL UP. THEN I RESET IT EVERYTIME I FILL UP. VERY DISSAPOINTING. *TT

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN MY TANK BECAUSE THE THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN LIKE CRAZY. SOMETIMES WHEN I KNOW I HAVE LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS DUE TO THE MILES I'VE DRIVEN IT SAYS THAT IT'S FULL. OTHER TIMES RIGHT AFTER A FILL UP IT WILL SAY THAT IT'S EMPTY. *KB

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT LS SINCE JANUARY 2005. IN AUGUST OF 05 I NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE GOING HAYWIRE.THEN I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WASNT WORKING CORRECTLY ALSO AS SOON AS MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN FINE. MY FAN FOR HEAT AND SIR STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER THAT.I ALSO GO THROUGH HEAD LIGHTS AND TAILLIGHT FREQUENTLY WHICH HAVE LEAD TO A FEW TICKETS. I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER BUT I AM DISGUSTED THAT THERE HASNT BEEN RECALLS ON THESE OBVIOUS DEFECTS!!!! I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHEVY. I FEEL THE COMPANY DOESNT CARE WEATHER THEY HAVE A TRUST WORTHY RELIABLE VEHICUL AS LONG AS THEY ARE MAKING MONEY!!!! *TT

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO COMPLAINT 10410347. AFTER PURCHASING 2005 CHEVY. TRAILBLAZER (JOYCE BUICK, MANSFIELD, OHIO) NOTICED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES FLUCTUATING AND MAKING STRANGE NOISE. MY MECHANIC ADVISE TAKE TO DEALER FOR FAULTY SYSTEM, SINCE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (3 MO. WARRANTY). THEY REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CABLE, STILL NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, DISCOVERED AFTER READING OWNERS MANUAL THAT GAS GAUGE SHOULD ALWAYS REGISTER AT GAS LEVEL, NOT RETURN TO EMPTY WHEN TURNING OFF IGNITION. NOW THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AS REPORTED IN PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. AT PURCHASE NOTICED AC NOT COOLING, JOYCE BUICK ADDED COOLANT AND SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED DYE TEST PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION, REPORTED NO LEAK IN SEPT. 2010. BY APRIL/MAY 2011 AC NOT WORKING AGAIN. FOUND LEAK AND REPLACED HOSE THAT RUNS TO BACK OF VEHICLE, (PRE-EXISTING CONDITION.) I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY SERVICED PRIOR TO RE-SALE. SOME CONDITIONS COVERED UNDER 3 MO. WARRANTY OR PRE-EXISTING CONDITION AND NOW MORE ISSUES CONTINUE TO ARISE AFTER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, IE GAS GAUGE NOT PROPERLY REGISTERING FUEL LEVEL AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES STILL FLUCTUATING. RESEARCHED AND UNDERSTAND COULD BE SOME MOTOR RELATING TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *TR

ON MON. JUNE 20, 2011 I STOPPED TO GET GAS WITH THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERING BETWEEN 1/4 AND EMPTY W/GAS LIGHT ON. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAGE CONTINUED TO REGISTER THE SAME W/GAS LIGHT ON. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE GAS GAUGE STARTED INCHING UP TO THE FULL MARK AND REMAINED THERE AND STARTED REGISTERING AS GAS USAGE DECREASED. NOT SURE IF WAS ACCURATE. UPON FUELING AGAIN, THE SAME PROCESS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THE GAGE WILL PERIODICALLY FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE REAR SPOILER BRAKE LIGHT COVER DETACHED ONTO THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE REAR SPOILER BRAKE LIGHT COVER WAS REPLACED TWO TIMES. THE THIRD RECURRENCE, THE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

2005 TRAILBLAZER, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, GAS GAUGE QUITS WORKING, APPARENTLY A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, NO WARNINGS, JUST RUNS OUT OF GAS. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. HAVE TO ALWAYS FILL UP TANK AND USE THE TRIP MILEAGE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS, VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER STARTED AT 60,000 MILES HAVING MY SPEEDOMETER GOING CRAZY AND IT FINALLY STUCK AT 120 AND ONLY MOVED OCCASIONALLY MOVED I TRIED TO GO WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, BUT ENDED UP GETTING A TICKET...THE FIRST IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. I WENT TO GET IT FIXED, BUT FOUND OUT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, CHEVROLET WAS ONLY FIXING IT IN CERTAIN OF THEIR EXPENSIVE MODELS. IT WAS GOING TO COST ME OVER $500, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I USE MY GPS TO WATCH MY MILEAGE. NOW THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, THE CD PLAYER, AND THE OTHER GAUGES ARE IN QUESTION...PLUS MY LIGHTS BLINK OFF AT NIGHT. I AM A SENIOR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER CAR, OR EVEN FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE TRAILBLAZER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILES AND I WANT TO KEEP IT THE REST OF MY LIFE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

A WEEK AGO, MY GAS GAUGE LIGHT CAME ON LIKE NORMAL INDICATING I NEEDED FUEL. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE, THE GAS GAUGE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED EMPTY. IN FACT, IT SHOWED LESS GAS THAN PRIOR TO THE FILL-UP. OVER THE WEEK, THE GAS GAUGE APPEARED TO CORRECT ITSELF. HOWEVER, I AGAIN FILLED MY GAS TANK YESTERDAY BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE INDICATOR WAS ON. ONCE AGAIN, THE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER FILLING MY TANK AND THE GAUGE SHOWED LESS GAS THAN PRIOR TO FILL UP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AS I COULD EASILY RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT REALIZING I NEEDED FUEL. I WILL BE MAKING A TRIP TO PARRIS ISLAND, SC IN AUGUST TO SEE MY DAUGHTER GRADUATE FROM THE US MARINE CORPS BASIC TRAINING PROGRAM. THAT IS A 16 HOUR DRIVE, ONE WAY. IF I CANNOT GAUGE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I HAVE FOR THE TRIP, MY FAMILY COULD BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I HEARD ABOUT THE POSSIBLE RECALL DUE TO THIS INVESTIGATION; THEREFORE, I HAVE NOT TRIED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NOT PROPERLY WORKING.WHEN SUV IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE IT WILL INDICATE THE TANK IS EMPTY. THEN AFTER FILLING IT WILL JUMP FROM HALF TO EMPTY NOT PROPERLY READING HAS CAUSE ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DO TO A COMPLETE STALL ON THE INTERSTATE. REALLY CONCERNED AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED. *TR

CHEVROLET '05 TRAILBLAZER, FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. AFTER A FILL STILL SHOWS EMPTY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER KEEPS GETTING STUCK. CHEVY HAS BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT. BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY ANOTHER 500 TO FIX IT. AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. THEY HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THE 2003 AND 2004 FOR THE SAME THING. BUT WILL NOT ADMIT THE 2005 . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT370. THE CONTACT DISPENSED FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000. UPDATED 07/08/11*LJ UPDATED 07/15/11

FUEL GAUGE IS NEVER RIGHT. IT GOES TO EMPTY WHEN YOU FILL IT; AND THEN READS OTHER READINGS INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. *TR

HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. (LOW BEAMS ONLY) FOG LIGHTS, TURN LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ALL WORK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING IN 2010. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE, ERRATIC READING, SAFETY ISSUE, WAS STUCK ON HIGHWAY OUT OF FUEL DUE TO GAUGE ERROR. I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT SUPPLIES GM SO KNOW WELL THEY ARE AWARE, BUT CHOOSE TO MISLEAD AND SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE, THEY DO KNOW BUT CHOOSE TO BE IRRESPONSIBLE AN UNETHICAL. THOUSANDS OF ISSUES NATIONWIDE ON TRAILBLAZERS AND OTHER MODELS USING THIS GAUGE. *TR

IN 2009, I NOTICED SIGNIFICANT DROPS IN THE FUEL LEVEL LEADING ME TO THINK PEOPLE WERE STEALING GAS FROM MY TANK FROM MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT. AFTER INSTALLING A LOCKING GAS CAP I REALIZED IT WAS A MALFUNCTION, NOT THEFT. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT RISE ABOVE 1/4 TANK EVEN WHEN FULL, BUT SPENDS MOST OF ITS TIME ON EMPTY. I HAVE STALLED WHILE DRIVING TWICE BECAUSE I CAN ONLY ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE BY THE TRIP ODOMETER. IN APRIL 2011 I LEARNED ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DEFECTIVE. *TR

THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN AUGUST OF 2009 - I FILLED MY GAS TANK, WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AFTERWARDS THE FUEL GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO FULL, THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK DOWN TO EMPTY. THE GAUGE HAS FLUCTUATED EVER SINCE, MOSTLY STAYING ON EMPTY WITH THE LOW GAS LIGHT ALWAYS ON. TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS, AS A REMINDER TO MYSELF I RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER EVERY TIME I FILL UP, THEN FILL THE TANK AGAIN WHEN I REACH 250 MILES. TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, SO I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE THE COST IS MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD AT THIS TIME. *TR

OUR GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING ON OUR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WE HAD WARRANTY ON THE SUV BUT IT FAILED JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX IT WAS NOT IN OUR BUDGET. WE HAVE TO TRACK OUR MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL-UP. MY SON RAN OUT OF GAS ONE TIME AS A RESULT OF THE BAD GAUGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING. *TR

I HAVE HAD A FAULTY GAS GAUGE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR; WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK IT ALWAYS SAYS I AM ON "E." THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM ALWAYS AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT AND STALLING, ETC. I WAS QUOTED $1200 FOR THIS REPAIR WHICH I DON'T HAVE. I NEED HELP ASAP. *TR

THE CAR HAS STALLED SHUT DOWN TWICE, ONCE AT A STOP SIGN AND THE OTHER WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. MECHANIC CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO COMPUTER GENERATED CODES TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. THE GAS GAUGE HAS PRETTY MUCH FAILED, WILL ONLY READ BETWEEN 1/4 AND EMPTY. UNKNOWN IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. IT WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND HALF A TANK NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN IT AT FIRST. THEN WITHIN THREE MONTHS IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. NOW IT JUST SITS ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME..REPEATEDLY DINGING AT ME BECAUSE IT READS AN EMPTY TANK AT ALL TIMES. I CAN STOP AT THE GAS STATION AND FILL THE TANK AND START IT UP AND IT SITS ON EMPTY AND WILL DING AT ME WITHIN 5 MINUTES TO TELL ME THE TANK IS EMPTY. TRYING TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK HAS BECOME A GUESSING GAME. CONSIDERING I AM ALMOST ALWAYS DRIVING AROUND WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR IT IS QUITE SCARY TO THINK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE RESEARCHED SCORES OF FORUMS WITH OTHER OWNERS SUFFERING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET CHEVROLET HAS NO CONCERNS. THEY WOULD RATHER PROFIT FROM THE ESTIMATED $1800 REPAIR BILL. WITH THE ECONOMY IN THE SHAPE IT IS THERE ARE ALOT OF US FORCED TO ENDURE THE PROBLEM AND KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED WE DON'T GET HIT IF WE MISTAKENLY GUESS WE HAVE MORE GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT AT 40,000 MILES WHICH WE PAID TO REPLACE ALONG WITH THE THERMOSTAT BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER HEATING. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. IP CLUSTER REPLACED FIRST AT COST OF $400.00. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT... MY FUEL TANK LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF I WOULD FILL MY TANK UP AND IT WOULD NEVER GO OFF. I ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE THIS IN AND PAID 1000.00 FOR A NEW FUEL TANK... I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND THIS IS A VERY EXTREMELY COMMON THING ON CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S... IT WAS RIGHT ABOUT 75,000 MILES THAT THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP, I WILL BE DRIVING AND IT WILL STOP READING MY SPEED AND GOING DOWN TO 0, IT WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL AFTER I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, DID THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOT VERY OFTEN, THEN STARTED GETTING STUCK ON WHATEVER SPEED I WAS GOING, AND DIDN'T MATTER IF WAS SLOWING DOWN OR GOING FASTER, WILL STAY AT THAT SPEED ON THE SPEEDOMETER, COUPLE DAYS AGO STARTED TO GO NUTS, NOW WHEN I AM STOPPED READS I AM AT 20 OR 30 MPH, AND WHEN I AM GOING 30 OR 40 STARTS GOING UP AND DOWN, MARKING 100 MPH WHEN I AM ACTUALLY GOING JUST 40 MPH, I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR OLDER MODELS, BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2005, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, AND I HAVE TO USE MY GPS UNIT TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, AND AVOID GETTING PULL OVER OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I WILL LIKE TO HAVE CHEVROLET TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IS CLEARLY A CHEVY ISSUE NOT A CONSUMER ONE, WE PAID FOR A PRODUCT THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK PROPERLY AND IT IS NOT. *TR

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR NOT WORKING AT ALL IN SOME CASES, SOMETIMES GET STUCK AT A CERTAIN SPEED

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, FIRST 70MPH THEN 90 THEN 120 , IT STARTED BOUNCING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE. NOW IT HAS QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTY ISSUE. I HAVE CHECKED INTO IT AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS MY WIFE DAILY DRIVER AND SHE TRANSPORTS MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. CHEVY NEEDS TO MAN UP AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

I READ IN THE MANUAL FOR MY 05 TRAILBLAZER THAT I BOUGHT 3 DAYS AGO THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCK IF THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION. TODAY I WAS MAKING A TRIP TO MY STORAGE UNIT AND DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING SINCE MY 4 MONTH OLD SON WAS INSIDE AND IT WAS A WARM DAY. MY DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK, AND I GOT OUT, WALKED AROUND THE CAR TO OPEN MY SONS DOOR SO I COULD HEAR HIM. THE DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED! I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY LOCKED THEMSELVES, BUT NOT EVEN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO LOCK WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, WAS OPEN! SO MY CELL PHONE AND INFANT WERE BOTH LOCKED IN MY CAR WITH IT RUNNING AND MY BABY CRYING. I HAD TO SIT THERE AND WATCH HIM CRY THROUGH THE WINDOW, BECAUSE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THE MANUAL WHEN IT SAID THE DOORS COULDN'T LOCK. THANKFULLY MY DAD LIVES CLOSE BY AND I WAS ABLE TO BORROW A CELL PHONE AND HAVE HIM GO AND GET THE KEYS FROM MY HUSBAND AT WORK. HAD THE CAR BEEN OFF HE COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HOT BY THE TIME I GOT THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND GOT HIM OUT. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ACTUALLY MY PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 2YRS AGO WHEN MY GAS GAUGE WENT OUT. THEN YEAR LATER I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND ONCE I GOT BACK UP TO SPEED MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND QUIT WORKIN. IT WOULD JUMP AROUND AND THEN SOMETIMES APPEAR TO BE READING CORRECTLY THEN JUMP TO ZERO OR WAY OVER PAST 90 WHICH OF COURSE I WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST. NOW MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE ARE GOING OUT AS WELL. AFTER CHECKING FOR RECALLS I SEE NOW THERE HAVE BEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE BUT NO RECALLS. IF THIS MANY VEHICLES ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WHY ISN'T CHEVY MAKING IT RIGHT? I KNOW MECHANICAL THINGS HAPPEN AFTER OWNING A VEHICLE BUT NOT THE SAME THING TO THIS MANY VEHICLES. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I UNDERSTAND AMONG 05 TRAILBLAZERS AND PREVIOUS YEARS. IT IS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR AND GM/CHEVY REFUSES TO WARRANTY OR RECALL THE PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS A SHAME GM/CHEVY IS ALLOWED TO GET A AWAY WITH MAKING THE OWNERS PAY VERY HIGH REPAIR BILLS WHEN THE COMPANY KNOWS IT'S A SAFETY PROBLEM. PLEASE INTERCEDE AND MAKE GM/CHEVY ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

PURCHASED THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WITH 49,000 MILES. AT 50,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN FROM GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, THE NEEDLE STAYED ON 70 AND WHEN I ACCELERATED IT WOULD ACT AS THOUGH 70 WAS THE NEW 0. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER POINTS DOWN PAST THE 120 MPH MARK AND WILL NOT BUDGE. GM TOLD ME THAT IT NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST OVER $500 TO FIX. *TR

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A NON WORKING FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN. 2 OF WHICH LIVE OUT OF STATE AND WE DRIVE BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH FROM SC TO TN TO PICK THEM UP. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT WE WERE ANNOYED BUT WE JUST TOP THE GAS TANK OFF OFTEN, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER THAT JUST STARTED STICKING WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED BUT WE TRAVEL SO MUCH FOR SUCH LONG DISTANCES THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM YET CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IF CHEVY DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE WE WILL NOT EVER TRUST CHEVY PRODUCTS AGAIN. THE SAFETY OF AMERICAN FAMILIES OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM. ONLY OUR BAIL OUT MONEY. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THAT I HAVE CONDUCTED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS EVERYTIME THAT I DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CLUSTER IS GOING TO RUN ABOUT $400, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GOES HAYWIRE, FIRST 150MPH THEN 40 THEN 60 , IT GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CHECKED INTO IT AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS MY WIFE DAILY DRIVER AND SHE TRANSPORTS MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR
