2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL GAUGE KEEPS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I ALMOST GOT INTO AND ACCIDENT ON THE BELTWAY TODAY BECAUSE MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT KILLING ANYONE OR MYSELF. SOME FRIENDS FROM WORK BROUGHT ME SOME GAS WHICH GOT ME HOME AS SOON AS I WAS A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD TO REFUEL JUST TO GET TO THE COMPLEX WHERE I LIVE. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I JUST SHUT DOWN AND I HAVE A SPEEDER BEHIND ME. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS VOICING THEIR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT LIKE THE TOYOTA DEALERS. IS THEIR ANYWAY THAT CHEVY CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. CONCERNED PARENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED A SPEED OF 120 MPH; ALTHOUGH SHE WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER (AS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS HALF A TANK OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE YET THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND BECAUSE SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, SHE WOULD FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITHIN EVERY 200 MILES.

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION CAUSING GAS GAUGE LIGHT TO STAY ON ALL OF THE TIME. WIFE RAN OUT OF FUEL ON HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR

1.) NO EVENTS TOOK PLACE DASHBOARD CLUSTER JUST FAILED. 2.) SPEEDOMETER, OIL GAGE, RPM, GAS GAUGE EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE, IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL SPEED... 3.) MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE DASH BOARD CLUSTER IS BAD, ITS 450-600 DOLLARS TO REPAIR, THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL YET? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN ABOUT... THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD WORK, THE INSTRUMENTS SHOULD WORK. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. SPEEDOMETER READS 100 MPH WHEN SITTING STILL. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS SAME COMPLAINT AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STICKS AT EMPTY OR JUST AROUND 1/4 OF A TANK THEN FALLS BACK TO EMPTY AND LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE RESEARCHED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A HIGHLY PREVALENT ISSUE ON '05 TRAILBLAZERS AT AROUND 50K MILES. *TR

REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES.

UPDATED 05/19/10 *BF UPDATED 09/07/10

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS SEVERELY OUT OF WHACK! IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER TOLD ME I WAS GOING 90 MPH WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. IT EVENTUALLY CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT NOW IT GOES OUT EVERY SO OFTEN WITHOUT WARNING. SINCE THE TIME WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER 1ST WENT OUT, MY OIL GAUGE IS COMPLETELY PEGGED OUT AND WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF, THE BATTERY GAUGE COMES AND GOES, AS WELL AS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS ALL OVER THE U.S. AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE GM TRAILBLAZERS. IF YOU ASK ME, I BELIEVE IT CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW FAST YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE DRIVING. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR GAS GAUGE GO COMPLETELY OUT AS WELL. MINE TRIED TO QUICK WORKING FOR ME ONLY ONE TIME, BUT CORRECTED ITSELF WITHIN 24 HOURS. LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T GO OUT LIKE THE OIL GAUGE HAS AND THE FLUCTUATING SPEEDOMETER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER REGISTERS CORRECT SPEED. GAUGE READS 110 MPH WHILE VEHICLE IS SITTING MOTIONLESS IN DRIVE WAY. WHILE DRIVING SPEEDOMETER SWINGS WILDLY. WHILE TRAVELING USING GPS UNIT TO GIVE SPEED VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WAS CONSISTENTLY OFF BY MORE THAN 50 MPH. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IT STARTED AFTER I FILLED THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS ON FEBRUARY 26TH I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE PART BUT JUST NOT HAD TIME TO GET TO IT JUST YET. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF EMPTY, AFTER GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANKS CAPACITY, THE FUEL GAUGE CONSISTENTLY INDICATED THAT IT WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLES COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS RESET THERE WOULD BE AN ACCURATE READING. CURRENTLY, THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING AFTER BEING RESET. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S GAUGES/PANEL IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. IT READS THAT THE TRUCK IS RUNNING HOT, THAT I'M GOING WAY OVER THE SPEED LIMIT (WHEN THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY PARKED), AND THAT I HAVE NO GAS (AFTER I FILL IT UP). MY OIL GAUGE IT ALSO OUT OF WHACK. PLEASE HELP. *TR

SPEEDOMETER BEGAN STICKING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND EVENTUALLY JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IT STAYS AT 0 MPH ALL THE TIME NOW. I EVEN RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET IN FEB 2010 BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK RUSTED OFF AT THE TOP. RUSTING INSIDE A TRANSMISSION IS A CONCERN FOR THE OVERALL LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. FUEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING AT 32,000 MILES. I HAVE CALLED AND IT IS AROUND $600 TO FIX. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE SOMETIMES READS ALL THE WAY FULL OR ALL THE WAY EMPTY OR SOMETIMES 1/4 TANK AND THIS COULD LEAD TO ME RUNNING OUT OF GAS AT WORST TIMES. IF I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND RESULT IN A FATALITY OR INJURIES. I DID NOT KNOW I COULD REPORT SUCH PROBLEMS THAT'S WHY I AM DOING IT NOW INSTEAD OF WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. *TR

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS TRAVELING 95 MPH AND PEOPLE WERE PASSING ME LIKE I WAS SITTING STILL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SPEEDOMETER/ CLUSTER ON EVERY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME SPEEDOMETER EXCEPT THE TRAILBLAZER. NOW I'M FINDING MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GM SAYS THEY WILL TRY TO GET A REDUCED FEE TO GET IT FIXED - NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR NOTHING AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. 3/29/10: INDICATED 0MPH WHILE CAR WAS MOVING. 3/30/10: INDICATED 30MPH WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AND AN ESTIMATED 30MPH OVER ACTUAL SPEED. 4/2/10: DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT SPEED GAGE CLUSTER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ORDERED REPLACEMENT. ESTIMATED COST (PARTS+LABOR) = $550.

IM HAVING PLOBLEMS WITH MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK AND MOST OF THE TIME I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST IM GOING DO TO THIS PLOBLEM.I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE HAVING THESE PLOBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE.

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONING, MOSST TIMES READS 100-110 MPH STANDING STILL OR WHILE MOVING

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND THE LAST 4 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEEDOMETER. SOMETIMES IT WORKS OTHERS IT WILL SHOW YOU ARE DOING 4 X THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM.

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS INTERMITTENT FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW NO LONGER FUNCTIONS (FUSE IS FINE).

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER LS. MY FUEL GUAGE IS READING INCURRECTLY, DESPITE FILLING MY TANK FULL WITH GAS THE DIAL GOES BACK TO EMPTY. THE DIAL ON THE GUAGE MOVES SOME TIMES BUT MOSTLY EITHER REMAINS ON EMPTY AND NEVERS READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHILE I HAD MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOT TO MENTION MY FRIEND HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER TRAILBLAZER AND GAVE THE WHOLE TRUCK BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE FAMILY AND THE LAST THING I NEED TO HAPPEN IS TO RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRUCK *CN

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SUV FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED CAUSING ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE OPERATION. GAS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN FILLED UP .LOOKED ON INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DIED FROM THIS SAFETY FAILURE?

ON 3-18-2010 WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM A DEALERSHIP. UPON DRIVING IT HOME, WE NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS ALMOST TO EMPTY. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND GOT GAS BUT THE TANK WAS NOT EMPTY. THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUES TO "BOUNCE" AROUND FROM FULL TO EMPTY MANY TIMES DURING REGULAR DRIVING. THIS OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND STOP LETTING CONSUMERS PAY $600-$1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE PART.

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."

2005 TRAILER BLAZER FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSING ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE OPERATION

BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C. SPEED 4 AND 5 BOTH QUIT AND NOW THE WHOLE THING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEALER I TAKE IT TO TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS BURNT OUT AND THE HARNESS (WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $200). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR MODEL. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE DIPS ALOT AS YOU DRIVE. RADIO DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS 100DEG, THEN ONLY ONE SPEAKER WORKS. GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER I FILLED UP. IGNITION IS VERY HARD TO TURN, YOU HAVE TO KEEP INSERTING AND REMOVING KEY UNTIL IT FREES ITSELF. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS (68,000 MI) SPEEDOMETER GOES OUT OF CONTROL. TOLD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED REPLACING. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO FUEL GAUGE WAS MESSED UP AND HAD TO REPLACE TANK SENSOR. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE STOP WORKING IN MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER, GAS LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN FILLING UP. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 WAS ACTING UP AND THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AND IT IS AMAZING TO ME HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA AND HIS SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND HIS GAS GAUGE. WHY IS THIS CONTINUING WITH CHEVROLET...SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE. OH...AND BY THE WAY I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED JUST 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF A WINDING NOISE AND THEN A YEAR LATER IT ACTS UP...HMMM...DID THEY REALLY REPLACE IT? TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WEBSITE FOR MORE COMPLAINTS: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHEVROLET/TRAILBLAZER/2005/ELECTRICAL/SPEEDOMETER_GONE_HAYWIRE.SHTML. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AND OBSERVED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY OR A READING LEVEL CLOSE TO EMPTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION, THE FAILURE FLUCTUATED AT ANY GIVEN SPEED BEING TRAVELED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,425.

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT 4X4 HAS A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL THAT RUNS THE AC/HEAT FAN. CHEVY ACKNOWLEGED THERE IS AN ISSUE AND HAVE CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. BUT SAY IT IS UP TO THE CAR OWNERS TO PAY FOR THE FIX. THIS HAS CAUSED MY ELECTRICAL WIRES TO MELT TOGETHER AND I CAN SMELL THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE ON THE HEAT FOR MORE THAN 10 MIN. I AM AFRAID MY CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING . GAS GAUGE LIGHT ALWAYS ON AND SHOWING EMPTY AND ALWAYS BEEPING. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. DOES THE SAME THING WHEN TANK IS FULL. I SPEND ALOT OF MONEY IN FUEL BECAUSE IT'S AGGRAVATING TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE CONSTANTLY. AFRAID I COULD GET STRANDED OR BE HIT IF I RUN OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2005 TRAIL BLAZER PEDAL SEEMED TO STICK*CW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE CONSUMER DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR FAILED. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT'S WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED. IN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AFTER GETTING GAS THE GAS SENSOR LIGHT AND SOUND ALERT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE IS MARKETED AND USED AS A FAMILY CAR, WHICH IS WHAT MY WIFE AND I USE IT FOR. IT IS VERY RISKY TO TRY TO GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL YOU ARE USING, NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF FUEL TODAY. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN RISKY SITUATIONS LIKE ON THE INTERSTATE. AS A CONSUMER I WISH YOU WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION, AND IF IT IS AS WIDESPREAD AS I AM HEARING, ENCOURAGE THE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). YESTERDAY I FILED A REPORT #10316373 TO AMEND A REPORT I SENT IN TO ADD MY VIN NUMBER. I SUBMITTED THE WRONG VIN NUMBER. THE NUMBER I SENT IN WAS ON A 1998 CHEVY BLAZER. I AM SENDING A NEW REPORT WITH THE PROPER VIN NUMBER. SORRY FOR THE ERROR I SUBMITTED.[XXX] *TR

IN REGARDS TO MY COMPLAINT #1030331, DP10-001 REGARDING MY COMPLAINT OF MY FUEL SENSOR AND GAUGE ALWAYS READING EMPTY AND THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, I DIDN"T HAVE THE VIN NUMBER AT THE TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE IT TO YOU AT THIS TIME IN YOUR FORM. PLEASE ADD IT TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT IN SEVERAL YEARS OF THE TRAILBLAZERS EXISTENCE AND COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF THE COMPUTER DECIDES TO SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME. I READ WHERE NISSAN IS RECALLING ONE OF THEIR MODELS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. WHERE IS GM IN THIS MATTER? *TR

2005-2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXPERIENCING PROBLEM W/ THE FUEL SENSOR. WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED THE CAR IS TELLING ME THERE IS NO FUEL IN THE TANK, AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS AND I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS REGARDING PART DEFECTS THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. 1. THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS. I CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT MOVING AT ALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BEING THAT I HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M GOING. 2. THE FUEL LIGHT GAUGE/SENSOR JUST COMPLETED STOP WORKING. THE GAS NEEDLE DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT OWN CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THESE SAME ISSUES AND I FEEL THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY BLOGS ONLINE WHERE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES SO THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. I HOPE THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL HELP JUMP START AN INVESTIGATION OF THESE DEFECTS, BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM! I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WILL BE $1,200 TO FIX THIS ISSUE.. THIS IS OUTRAGES BEING THAT THE PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUSED BY CHEVY. *TR

FUEL JUST STOPPED WORKING, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEADLIGHTS START DIMMING GAUGES GO ALL OVER THE BOARD. PUT A NEW BATTERY IN, CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR OXYGEN SENSOR HAD THAT REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

FILLED TANK WITH GAS & THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND READS EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2009. I STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION. THE 2ND TIME WAS FEB 28, 2010. THE NEEDLE FLUCTUATES AND LOW FUEL LIGHT FLICKERS ON/OFF. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR
