2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

THE LATCH SYSTEM FOR THE CAR SEAT BROKE FROM THE CAR SEAT WHEN I PULLED THE CAR SEAT BACK TO DETACH IT FROM THE CAR. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2005, MAKE=CHEVROLET, MODEL=TRAILBLAZER). *TR

TREAD SEPARATES FROM TIRE - CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC 245/65/R17 DOT A38T BMR & A38T BM5 I HAD 4 OF THESE TIRES DO THIS. NOT ONLY HAVE I/WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES, BUT I ALSO HAVE VEHICLE DAMAGE. CONTINENTAL HAS THUSFAR ONLY PROVIDED A $50 CREDIT TOWARD THE FIRST REPLACEMENT TIRE. I HAVE ONE MORE OF THESE TIRES ON MY TRUCK RIGHT NOW. WE PAID $500 FOR TWO NEW TIRES IN UTAH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOTHING ELSE. I'M SO FRUSTRATED AND HAD NO RELIEF! WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR THIS?? *TR

I FILLED MY TANK UP AND THE FUEL LIGHT STAYED, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN MY TRUCK ,FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECT FUEL LEVEL.THIS IS A 2005 VEHICLE I HAVE ALREADY SPENT MONEY ON THE 02 FUEL SENSOR, I HAVE ALSO REQUATED GM TO CHECK MY LIGHT FOR MY 2,4 AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE THAT BLINKS WHILE DRIVING AND SWITCHES, I WAS TOLD THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG BUT IT STILL OCCURS,AFTER 3 YEARS NOW MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE MAINTENANCE LIGHT COMES ON. BEING A SINGLE LADY AS WELL AS A SINGLE MOTHER IT IS HARD TO TRUST MECHANICS AS THEY ALWAYS TRY TO GET OVER AND I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO KEEP MAJOR WORK DONE ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT AND HAS STAYED OUT. WHEN I LOOK ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER - CAN ONLY GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE LEFT BY USING THE TRIP ODOMETER OR CHECKING MY MILEAGE. THIS IS A COMPLETE (NOT TO MENTION RISKY) PAIN IN THE BUTT. HUNDREDS OF US HAVE COMPLAINED TO GM.. THEY TAKE NO ACTION EXCEPT TO SAY "WE ARE SORRY." WHAT THE HECK? WHY SHOULD A KNOWN AND REPORTED DEFECT IN A VEHICLE NOT WARRANT ATTENTION BY THE MANUFACTURER? WHAT IF ONE OF THE HUNDREDS OF US MISCALCULATED OUR MILEAGE USE, RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, AND WE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE GM WOULDN'T HELP THE CONSUMERS FIX THE PROBLEM!?!? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING. THE GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL AND FULL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED DUE TO THE SENSOR IN THE TANK INDICATING THAT THE GAUGE WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD BE OUT OF FUEL BUT INDICATE THAT IT WAS FULL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

POWER STEERING UNIT LEAKAGE. *TR

HI THERE - I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. AT 40,000 MILES, I HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE COMPLAINT THAT MY DRIVER'S SEAT BELT LOCKS AS I TRY TO PUT IT ON. AT TIMES, THIS HAS MEANT THAT I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITHOUT MY SEATBELT ON BECAUSE I SIMPLY CANNOT GET IT UNLOCKED. I EVEN PURCHASED WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TERMED TO ME AS A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY - AND THEY STILL HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM! I SEE THAT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WAS NOTED AND RECALLED ON 2002 TRAILBLAZERS - AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, I THINK IT IS TIME TO ALSO INCLUDE THE 2005 TRAILBLAZERS ON THIS RECALL AS WELL. *TR

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY CONCERN. I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER. SINCE DAY 1 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SEALS ON THE DOORS - ESP BACK DOORS. FOR THE MOST PART THIS HAS BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE UNTIL THE OTHER DAY. THROUGHOUT THE OWNERSHIP OF MY VEHICLE, AT ABOUT EVERY 10 - 15,000 MILES I WAS HAVING MY VEHICLE SERVICED FOR THE DOOR SEALS. WITHOUT FAIL, THEY CONTINUE TO COME OFF. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND WAS WONDERING WHAT THAT RUBBING NOISE WAS. THE DOOR SEAL FROM MY DRIVER'S REAR DOOR WAS HANGING DOWN INTO MY WHEEL AXLE. THE SEAL GOT WORN DOWN TO THE METAL CORD THAT IS ON THE INSIDE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HUGE DANGER SHOULD THIS HAVE FALLEN DOWN ANY FURTHER AND GOT TWISTED INTO MY WHEEL AXLE. ONE THING IT DID DO FOR SURE IS IT DESTROYED MY NEWER TIRE! THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE DOOR SEALS ON TRAILBLAZERS ARE A POOR DESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THAT THEY ENCOUNTER A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR SEALS. *TR

TRAILBLAZER 2005 SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES WORKS PERFECTLY, THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY JUST SIT BELOW ZERO AND STAY THERE UNTIL IT DECIDES TO MOVE AGAIN. OCCASIONALLY, WILL HOVER AROUND 10-20 MPH, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED BEING DRIVEN. SEEMS LIKE A CONSISTENT COMPLAINT. LOCAL CHEVY DEALER QUOTED AROUND $650 TO REPAIR. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING IN MY '05' TRAILBLAZER IT HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT AND THE GAS HAND IS STARTING TO GO OUT ALSO. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR NOT WORKING. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING 49,000 MILES ON IT. THE GAS NEEDLE STARTED ACTING CRAZY, BOUNCING ALL OVER, NOW IT JUST SHOWS EMPTY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, IT SHOULDN'T COST ME $600 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR A SENSOR. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE GAS STATION AFTER PAYING FOR THE GAS AND FILLING UP THE TANK. IT WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH THAT TANK OF GAS, THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF THIS PREVIOUSLY. IT ALWAYS GOES TO EMPTY WHEN I FILL THE TANK AND THE LOW LEVEL LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 50 MILES THEN IT GOES TO FULL AND AFTER ANOTHER 100 MILES OR SO GOES BACK TO EMPTY WHEN I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT CLOSE TO BEING EMPTY. I FIND THIS BEING A SAFETY CONCERN IF I WERE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WHERE TO GO. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR YET BUT I AM PLANNING ON FIXING GM'S FAULTY PRODUCT IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS. I HAVE ALSO READ A FEW CONSUMER REPORTS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRAILBLAZERS. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR GM TO RECALL THIS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN 2005, IN 2006 THE GAS GAUGE WENT OUT, IT DID NOT READ THE AMOUNT OF GAS THE VEHICLE HAD IN IT. LATER THAT SAME YEAR THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SPIN ALL THE WAY AROUND THE DIAL. AS OF 2009 IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THE GAS GAUGE WENT OUT WHEN THEE WAS ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT WHEN THERE WAS ABOUT 110,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WENT TO A WEBSITE AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. SEE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHEVROLET/TRAILBLAZER/2005/ELECTRICAL/SPEEDOMETER_GONE_HAYWIRE.SHTML AND HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHEVROLET/TRAILBLAZER/2005/ELECTRICAL/FUEL_GAUGE_QUIT_WORKING.SHTML PLEASE HELP TP HAVE THE PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE RECALLED. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. WHEN TANK FILLED PLUMMETS TO EMPTY AND WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN ONE QUARTER AND EMPTY AFTER 20 MILES ARE PLACED ON VEHICLE. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING, I NOTICED SOME LIQUID SPOTS ON THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER INSPECTING, I FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING LINE IS CORRODED THROUGH, LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS LESS THAN 60000 MILES AND IS 5 YEARS OLD. ONE LINE IS CLEAN, THE OTHER IS CORRODED BEYOND REPAIR. TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING LINES HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY. IT READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 50K MILES. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIMING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING, COST TO FIX AT DEALERSHIP EST. $1800, EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM WHILE DRIVING, DEALERSHIP CANT FIND PROBLEM, CAR SEEMS TO "JUMP" OR LEAP FORWARD WHILE COASTING OR WHEN APPLY BRAKE, DEALERSHIP CANT FIND THE PROBLEMS OR CAUSE, CAR STALLS AND RPM DROP IF GAS PEDAL NOT PUSHED, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED AUTOMATICALLY AND WONT TURN OFF. HAD TO TAKE FUSE OUT, THEREFORE NO WIPERS. ALL THESE ITEMS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE FAMILY DRIVING. THE ONLY PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND WAS THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR WHICH IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND COST $1800. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER IS GOING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OR RECOMMENDED ONE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. NO ONE CAN FIND THE "PROBLEM". *TR

RECENTLY, THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER QUIT WORKING. I FILLED UP, AND THE GAUGE SET AT EMPTY UNTIL I HAD DRIVE 10-15 MILES. UNTIL THEN, THE EMPTY LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE "MILES LEFT" SHOWS NONE WHICH RENDERS THAT ALERNATE SOLUTION UNUSABLE. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS CLOSE ENOUGH TO LET ME DETERMINE IF I NEED TO FILL UP AGAIN IS THE "TRIP A" FEATURE. I CAN GUESS HOW MANY MILES I NORMALLY GO BEFORE A FILL UP.. BUT WHO'S TO SAY THAT IS WORKING RIGHT EITHER? THE IMPROPER FUNCTIONING OF THIS ELEMENT OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONLY A PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE, BUT ALSO COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILD IF THE CAR WERE TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE FOUND FORUMS RECENTLY WHEREIN MANY CUSTOMERS OF GM ARE HAVING THE SAME DIFFICULTY WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. WE ARE ALL FRUSTRATED TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE HEARD THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO 2004 - SEEMS GM DIDN'T GET IT RIGHT AFTER THAT TIME. HOW ABOUT A RECALL NOW? *TR

CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 2005 FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY, EVEN AFTER A FILL-UP . ONLY HAVE 46K MILES ON SUV. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. *TR

HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER WITH 60,000, GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING, NOW THE FUEL SENSOR SHUTS THE CAR DOWN RANDOMLY THINKING IT IS OUT OF GAS, MY GIRLFRIEND AND OUR 2 YEAR OLD WERE STRANDED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS , HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR IT AT A COST OF 6-700$ , WORRIED THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PART THAT WAS BAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS 4WD AND JUST RECENTLY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES AND IT IS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS BAD. GM DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO DO A RECALL SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AND SEE WHAT CAN TO DONE TO GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND ALOT OF OUT OF POCKET COST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CURVY ROAD. I LOOKED AWAY FROM THE ROAD FOR A SECOND AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK TO THE ROAD I WAS SLIGHTLY VEERING OFF. I OVERCORRECTED THE CAR TO MY LEFT AND CORRECTED BACK TO THE RIGHT. ONCE I WAS BACK STRAIGHT AGAIN-THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS ALL HAPPENED VERY QUICK. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND THERE WAS NO COLLISION. THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHO DECLINED THE CLAIM SINCE THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THEY ATTRIBUTED THE CRASH TO OVERLY SENSITIVE YAW SENSORS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN SIMILAR OCCURRENCES THAT THEY ATTRIBUTED TO THE YAW SENSOR. I MADE A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET, THE MANUFACTURER, OF MY VEHICLE. CHEVROLET SENT OUT A 3RD PARTY ENGINEER/INSPECTOR TO LOOK AT AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINEER'S REPORT SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREPARING FOR A ROLL OVER AND ACTED AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SO THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION. THE AIRBAGS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. CHEVROLET SAYS THE CAR HAS NO MECHANICAL DEFECT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR ANYTHING TO ATTRIBUTE TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, OTHER THAN THE AIRBAGS BEING TOO SENSITIVE. *TR

NO REAL EVENTS, THE HINGE BECAME UNGLUED FROM THE REAR WINDOW, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO BECOME UNHOOKED FROM THE BODY OF THE TRAILBLAZER. BECAUSE THIS THEN RAISES THE WINDOW ABOVE THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE THE WIND CAN CATCH IT AND PULL IT COMPLETELY OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FALSE READINGS WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I FILL UP MY TANK AND THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY, BUT AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES IT WOULD READ FULL. NOW IT READS FULL FOR 20 MINUTES AND THEN STARTS TO GO DOWN. I WAS TOLD THAT IS WAS A POSSIBLE SHORT IN THE WIRING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. GREAT, A GOOD WAY TO START A FIRE!!.. I AM A GM EMPLOYEE OF 14 YRS AND THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED AND FIXED NOW. WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE..... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR FAILED. WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE "FUEL GAUGE EMPTY" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE AND DISPLAY INCORRECT FUEL LEVELS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 51,000. UPDATED 8/18/09 *CN UPDATED 08/21/09.*JB

ON 7/18/09 I FUELED UP MY TRUCK WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE, WHICH WAS WORKING AT THE TIME QUIT WORKING. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO PEOPLE DEPENDING ON THEIR VEHICLES FOR DAY TO DAY LIVE, PLUS THE WAY THE PRICE OF GAS IS PEOPLE CAN'T ALWAYS AFFORD TO STOP AND PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE THE PRICE OF VEHICLES NOWADAYS IS WAY OUT OF RANGE FOR THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE. *TR

WE OWN A 2005 TRAIL BLAZER.........WE WAS DRIVING THREW OUR HOME TOWN ON DAY AND THIS IS A 20 MPH ZONE. MY HUSBAND LOOKED DOWN AND WE WAS GOING 120MPH!!! WE TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $350.00. WOW!!! DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD PAY FOR THIS...AND I DO THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL...CAUSE THERE IS ALOT OF COMPLAINT ONLINE ABOUT 2005 TRAIL BLAZERS. ALL WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEN ABOUT A WEEK OUR GAS GAUGE ALSO WENT OUT.....OMG!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. SINCE JULY 5, 2009, THE FUEL GAUGE DIAL FAILS TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN THE TANK. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK OUT. IN ADDITION, THE TANK COULD BE EMPTY, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY A FULL TANK. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

A/C RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS MELTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK RPM'S BEGAN TO REV, AND I BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. MY TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR NOW. I DISCOVERED A LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE AND REPLACED IT. I'VE ALSO CHANGED THE FLUID AND FILTER. AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL AUTOZONE FOR A CODE SCAN, WHICH BROUGHT BACK NO CODES, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THEY CHARGED ME $105.00 TO TELL ME THAT THE TRUCK WASN'T "THROWING CODES" I ALREADY KNEW THAT! THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE APPROX. $800.00 JUST TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION APART TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND $400.00 TO PUT IT BACK IN. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE COST OF FIXING IT! AFTER CONSULTING WITH AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, I CHANGED THE TCC (TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONVERTER) SOLENOID TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS! GM WILL OFFER NO ASSISTANCE UNTIL I PAY THE DEALER TO DISASSEMBLE THE TRANSMISSION, THEN "THERE IS A POSSIBILITY" THAT THE FIX WILL BE COVERED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT DONE ANY TOWING AND ONLY HAS 56,600 MILES ON IT! THERE IS NO REASON FOR A TRANSMISSION FAILURE! *TR

THE GAS GAUGE IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS ALWAYS READING EMPTY. I HAVE TO GAUGE MY GAS TANK BY RESETTING MY TRIP ODOMETER. ALL THE TIME. I HAVE HEARD THAT IT BAD PART - THE FUEL SENSOR ON ALL CHEVY CARS 2003 - 2006. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BY GM ON THIS FUEL SENSOR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, AND ALSO THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. *TR

AFTER FILLING VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN JUMPING WILDLY. IT RESET AFTER SOME TIME. LATER, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO READ PROPERLY. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE FAILS TO EVER READ PROPERLY. THIS CAUSED MY WIFE'S VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. *TR

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE OR FUEL PUMP. JUNE 15-24 2009 I WAS PUTTING GAS INTO MY VEHICLE EVERY DAY BECAUSE IT WAS READING THAT MY TANK WAS EMPTY. ON JUNE 24, I COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY TANK AND THE LIGHT REMAINED ON AS IF MY TANK WAS EMPTY. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, THE GAUGE MOVED UP SHOWING THAT I ONLY HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. MY GAUGE IS GIVING ME A FALSE READING OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK AND I NOW HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE MILES PER TRIP TO MAKE SURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER. SPEEDOMETER FAILED AT 5900 MILES.. 06-24-09 I LOOKED UP SAFTY RECALS THERE ARE ALOT OF THE SAME POBLEMS ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

MY SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING BIZARRE, IT JUST GOES ROUND AND ROUND, STARTED ABUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2003 & 2004 WERE RECALLED FOR THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. NOW WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, MY GAS GAGE HAS GONE CRAZY NOT SHOWING ACCURATELY, FIRST ON EMPTY LIGHT ON LOW FUEL, THEN WHILE I'M DRIVING LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND IT REGISTERS TO SHOW FULL TAKE WHEN ACTUALLY I MAY HAVE 1/2 TANK. I TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP EACH ITEM IS OVER 300.00 FOR REPAIR. HE SUGGESTED TO LOOK INTO SEE IF THE CENSOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE GAS, AND THAT 03 & 04 WAS RECALLED FOR THE SPEEDOMETER AND IF 05'S WERE BEING RECALLED. *TR

THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE ON OUR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, CAUSING INTERIOR DAMAGE. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - GAS GAUGE FAILS TO FUNCTION - ALWAYS STAYS ON EMPTY SO I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS WITH NO WARNING.*TR

BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35 MPH AND 60MPH THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN YOU LET THE CAR RETURN TO AN IDLE. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE READ 1/4 OF A TANK AND I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP AND 2 HOURS AFTER I FILLED UP THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED TO PUT MORE GAS IN THINKING THAT MAYBE I STOPPED IT TOO EARLY AND IT WASN'T FULL. I STARTED DRIVING AND THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. SO NOW MY GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND I HAVE TO RELY ON MY MILES PER TRIP TO FIGURE OUT WHEN TO FILL UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE. IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AROUND 40,000 MILES, SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. SINCE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED, I AM DRIVING "BLIND" ON A DAILY BASIS, HOPING THAT I AM NOT SPEEDING NOR TRAVELING TOO SLOW, THUS ADDING TO THE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS ON THE AZ HIGHWAYS. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY RECALLS ON OTHER AUTOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I PRAY THE NHTSA FINDS A WAY TO HELP US TRAILBLAZER OWNERS IN GETTING THIS TERRIBLE PROBLEM FIXED ASAP AT CHEVROLET'S EXPENSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 46,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION, IDLER PULLEY, AND WATER PUMP ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

LOST CONTROL OF CAR ON NARROW ROAD UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. COLLISION INTO TWO TREES HEAD ON. DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. IT WILL SHOW THE TANK IS EMPTY, EVEN AFTER FILLING IT. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. CHEVY SAYS IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND HAS A REPAIR KIT FOR IT, BUT CHARGES OVER $500 FOR THE KIT PLUS LABOR. I ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AROUND, INCLUDING MY SON WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO HIS MONTHLY APPOINTMENTS AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 200+ MILES AWAY. I MYSELF HAVE NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AS THIS PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED IN MY CAR, BUT I KNOW OTHERS WHO HAVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THIS PROBLEM UNRESOLVED LEADS TO THE TRIP METER AND SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING ALSO) AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS & INJURIES. WE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HOPING THAT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS AND A LITTLE PRESSURE FROM THE NHTSA WILL CAUSE CHEVY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!! PLEASE HELP US!! ON AVERAGE THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO CROP UP AROUND 60,000 MILES. *TR

THE RPM GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ONCE IN A WHILE THE SPEEDOMETER IS ALSO OFF. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. IT JUST HIT 90,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO BACK DOWN AFTER I SLOWED DOWN. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STAND STILL AND IT SAID I WAS GOING 60MPH. *TR
