2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS. WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED, IT WILL READ EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT/SIGNAL COMES ON. THE GAUGE WILL THEN READ INCORRECTLY AND GO BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK FULL. I NEVER KNOW FOR SURE HOW MUCH FULL I HAVE IN THE TANK AFTER I FILL IT. I MUST GO ON MILEAGE. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

WITH FUEL IN THE TANK THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY DISPLAYING INCORRECT READINGS. THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT ACTUALLY KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (77,000) MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TAC HAS GONE HAYWIRE. WE HAD A VERY WARM DAY AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE POINTER WAS AT 6:00 O CLOCK WHEN I STOP IT SHOWS THAT THE CAR IS GOING 110 MILES PER HOUR. MY TAC IS ALSO GOING WACKO. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT MAY OTHERS WITH TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. RECENTLY, MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN ACTING UP. IT STATES THAT THE GAS TANK IS EMPTY RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP. IT CONSTANTLY READJUSTS ITSELF. I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY CAR. IT IS A VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM AND AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. EXTENSIVE INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS AS WELL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 4X4 FUEL GAUGE NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS YOU PUT IN IT WILL SHOW MAYBE FROM HALF TO WHATEVER THEN WHILE SITTING IT WILL DROP DOWN TO EMPTY AND LIGHTS WILL BLINK SHOWING EMPTY ON GAS,WHEN JUST PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT IS EXPERIENCING VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY, AND RUNS VERY LOUDLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS AND THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES AND READS THE TANK IS EMPTY WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS FULL OF GAS. THUS THIS CAUSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS MY MAIN MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I HAVE TO GUESS AT HOW MUCH FUEL MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY HAS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS COULD RESULT IN ME EITHER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STALL RANDOMLY AND BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING DRIVER. *TR

JUST AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 29, 2008, I NOTICED THE ENGINE HAS ACCELERATED AND THE CAR SURGES FORWARD WHEN STOPPED. IF I DO NOT KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL OF SURGING INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AN ACCIDENT HAS ALMOST HAPPENED MANY TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM ON FEBRUARY 4,2009 AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT MOST LIKELY WILL "NOT BE A PROBLEM" UNTIL I REAR END SOMEONE WHILE STOPPED. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS, A YEAR AND A HALF LATER. I WAS NOT AWARE I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT UNTIL THE TOYOTA RECALL HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH IT, ANTICIPATING THE SURGE EVERY TIME I AM AT A STOP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR ON A 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS GONE OUT, FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AT ALL TIME. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO RUN LOW ON FUEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND. EVEN MORE DANGEROUS FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE USING THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL SOMEWHERE FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG GM VEHICLES AND YET THEY HAVE ISSUED NO RECALL AS OF YET. THERE IS A WEBSITE HERE; HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TBDHFG6KHCMSPA4M1/P10 WITH OVER 200 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY MORE. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED TWICE ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. *TR

WENT TO DEALER FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSORS ARE INDICATING THAT THERE IS MOISTURE GETTING INTO MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO A ISSUE WITH THE DIP STICK NOT SEALING PROPERLY. WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $192.00 (PARTS AND LABOR) TO REPAIR. THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT IF MY TRANSMISSION DID GO OUT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, AND MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY, THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER A NEW TRANSMISSION. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN SUCH A MINOR PART AS THE DIP STICK SEAL, WHY THE WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

I JUST GOT MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER 2 WEEK AGO AND THE CAR LOT FAIL TO INFORM US THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BROKEN,, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WITCH WAS OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS, I HAD MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WITH ME AND WE HAD TO WALK IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER TO GET GAS,, AND MY SON GOT A SUN BURN ON HIS FACE AND ARMS, I BELIEVE THAT IF MY GAS GAUGE WAS WORKING THEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN STRANDED ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY SON. *TR

UNIT WAS REPLACED IN 2007 AT DEALERSHIP. SENDING UNIT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN. VERY EXPENSIVE LABOR NEEDED TO FIX THIS. WHEN I FIXED THE FIRST TIME I HAD WARRANTY NOW IT HAS EXPIRED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE WITH A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALSO MY..TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS IS A COMPLETELY DEFECT OF THE CAR. MY MAJOR FEAR IS TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR TO STALL. LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT.....ALSO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT KEEP GETTING DARKER..SOMETIMES SEVERAL LIGHTS COME ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS FUEL GAUGE DID NOT DISPLAY THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, THE GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT. WITH NO WARNING, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE CAR IS WELL CARED FOR AND REGULARLY SERVICED. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NO POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, AND THAT THEY DO NOT REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO ME FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $2720.31. *TR UPDATED 10/27/10. *LJ

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED TRACKING THE FUEL AMOUNT, IT HAS CAUSED ME TO NOT KNOW THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALSO DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOP IS INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AFTER FILL UPS, IT WOULD STICK ON EMPTY AND A CHIME WOULD DING. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START TO WORK. HOWEVER, NOW IT IS COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS ONE NEVER KNOWS THE FUEL LEVEL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. A LOCAL DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A SENSOR AND COULD COST BETWEEN 800-1200 DOLLARS. I THINK A RECALL IS ORDER SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH "2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM" IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO CONCLUDE THAT GM SHOULD RECALL THIS PART. *TR

I WAS PUTTING GAS IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER.. WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION THE EMPTY LIGHT STAYED ON.... NOW IT IS STUCK ON EMPTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN TRACK HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IS BY KEEPING UP WITH MY MILEAGE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN TRAILBLAZERS AND THAT IT WOULD COST $500-$600 TO REPAIR. WHEN I DID A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT! I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS WASN'T A RECALL! I GOT NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE GENERAL MOTORS AND WAS ONLY TOLD TO "GO THROUGH MY DEALER."DEALER DIDN'T CARE. ONE MINUTE IT SAYS I HAVE GAS THEN THE NEXT, EMPTY. *TR

GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS DEFECTIVE. IT STOPPED WORKING AT 55000 MILES AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $600 TO REPLACE. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER TO A LOT OF OWNERS. I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE AND HAVE RAN OUT ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER 4 MILES FROM NEAREST TOWN WITH LITTLE CELL PHONE COVERAGE. ONLY WAY I CAN GUESTIMATE WHEN TO PUT FUEL IN IS BY GOING BY THE TRIP ODOMETER. I COMMUTE OVER 400 MILES WEEKLY ON THE INTERSTATE BUT CAN'T AFFORD A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

CHEVY TRAILBLAZER '05 FUEL GAUGE DEFECTIVE. CAUSES VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS, WHICH ON HIGHWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS IS A VITAL DANGER, NOT TO MENTION SINGLE WOMEN DRIVING AT NIGHT BEING STRANDED ON THE ROAD!

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS MOMENT DUE TO MALFUNCTION IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. FIRST MY GAS GAUGE WENT OUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS BROKEN - SHOWS I AM GOING 60 WHEN I AM AT A STOP OR IT MAY GO DOWN TO 30 AT TIMES. IT WILL COST $500 FOR THE CLUSTER AND $550 FOR THE FUEL SENSOR. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD A RESPONSE YET. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON I-85 IN VIRGINIA WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING. WE LIMPED INTO A SERVICE STATION AT THE NEXT EXIT TO HAVE THE TRAILBLAZER LOOKED AT. WE ONLY HAD 1ST AND 2ND GEAR REMAINING ON OUR TRANSMISSION AND HAD TO HAVE THE SUV TOWED TO THE NEXT MAJOR CITY AND SPEND THE NIGHT UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP OPENED ON MONDAY. THE END RESULT IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT LESS THAN 64,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING ESSENTIALLY DISINTEGRATED AND THERE WERE A LOT OF METAL FRAGMENTS INSIDE THE HOUSING WHICH WERE A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. THIS LEVEL OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A MAJOR DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENT SHOULD NOT OCCUR AT SO LOW A MILEAGE. WE, AS THE CONSUMER, WERE FORCED TO PAY $3200.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLUS THE COSTS OF HOTEL RENTAL AND A RENTAL VEHICLE TO RETURN HOME AND MISSING WORK TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS CEASED TO WORK CORRECTLY. THE SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAGE HAS FAILED AS WELL.

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I STOPPED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND FILLED UP MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHEN I CRANK THE TRUCK, I NOTICED MY GAS LIGHT WAS ON EVEN AFTER I FULLY FILLED THE STOP. I WAS BAFFLED BY THIS KNOWING I'D JUST SPENT $50 FOR A FILL-UP AND I HAD BEGIN TO THINK THERE MAY HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY GAS TANK. I SEARCHED AND ASKED OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS AND LEARNED THAT IT'S MY FUEL SENSOR THAT'S THE PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. THIS SEEM TO BE A ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AN MODEL AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR CHEVROLET'S PROBLEM. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR UNIT. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MR. TURNER, FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE AT GENERAL MOTORS, DETROIT MICHIGAN, CONCERNING THE MANY LETTERS I HAVE SENT TO GENERAL MOTORS. 'IN A NUTSHELL' HE SAID 'GM HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENSOR UNIT AND BASICALLY I WAS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL CONCERNING THE UNIT' I REFERRED, HIM TO THIS PARTICULAR WEB SITE AND HIS COMMENT WAS 'IF COMPLAINTS WAS NOT COMING FROM THE CUSTOMERS OR DEALER, THE COMMENTS WAS BASIC USELESS' HE SUGGESTED, THAT I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AT THAT POINT THEY WOULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND 'MAYBE' THEY 'MIGHT DO SOMETHING' IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE BOMBARD THE PRESIDENT / CEO OF GENERAL MOTORS WITH COMPLAINT LETTERS CONCERNING THE FUEL SENSOR OR CONTACT MR. TURNER AT THE NUMBER HE GAVE ME [XXX].

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE REAL FUEL LEVEL. I HAVE SEEN THIS IN SEVERAL OTHER TRAILBLAZERS AS WELL AS SILVERADO TRUCKS THAT MY FRIENDS HAVE OWNED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH A FUEL PROBLEM. I THINK IT'S THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES EVEN AFTER AFULL FILL UP. WHEN I GOOGLED THIS QUESTION THE RESULTS I GOT WERE ASTOUNDING AT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT IF IT WERE A ONCE IN AWHILE THING THAT HAPPENS NO BIG DEAL BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO 3 DIFFERENT AUTO MECHANICS AND EVEN THEY SAY IT CRAZY THAT'S THERE'S NO RECALL ON IT AS IT A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT. THE GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER STARTED MESSING UP ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT STOPPED WORKING AND STARTED BACK ON ITS OWN. WELL NOW A YEAR LATER THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS. AFTER FURTHER STUDY INTO THE PROBLEM MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SO I GO ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND ONE AND INSTEAD I FIND THAT ITS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. I CALL GM TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE AND WAS TOLD SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY TO BAD. I THINK THAT WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ AND KNOW ABOUT THIS IS A MATTER THAT GM SHOULD RESOLVE. THEY RECALLED THE SAME CLUSTER THAT WAS PUT IN THE HIGHER PRICED VEHICLES BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP US OUT. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS SINCE THIS IS MY WIFE AND KIDS CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THEM RIDING AROUND WITHOUT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS THEY HAVE.

I'VE HAD MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER FOR 5 YRS NOW AND THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN ACTING UP. I FILL IT UP AND THE GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY. IT TAKES A FEW DAYS TO FINALLY GET THE READING RIGHT BUT AFTER A DAY OR SO IT GOES BACK TO EMPTY. BEING IN THE MILITARY AND HAVING THE VEHICLE AS THE PRIMARY FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS TIME IS LIMITED FOR HER TO TAKE IT WHILE I AM AWAY OVERSEAS. MY WIFE WAS AND KIDS WERE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CAME TO FINALLY CAME AROUND WITH FUEL. READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHEVY OWNERS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL BE MY LAST TIME PURCHASING A CHEVY. KEEPING TRACK OF MILEAGE IS RIDICULOUS, IN TODAY'S ECONOMY PURCHASING A GOOD PRODUCT IS PRIORITY ONE AND IT IS A SHAME THAT A GIANT CAR COMPANY CAN ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM ON THERE HANDS. SAFETY SHOULD BE PRIORITY ONE!!!!! *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HIT HIM BROADSIDE DOING APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MILES PER HOUR. MY FRONT END WAS NEARLY SHOVED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WINDSHIELD. MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS TOTALED. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND IF IT WASN'T FOR MY SEATBELT I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD THE IMPACT WAS SO HARD. I SUSTAINED A HURT SHOULDER AND ARM AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAD SUCH A PAINFUL INJURY IF THE AIRBAG HAD OF DEPLOYED. *TR
