2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ENTERING THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE PRIOR TO THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE INJURED; THE NOSE OF THE CHILD WAS BLEEDING AND THE CONTACT SUFFERED A NECK INJURY. THE CHILD WAS 6 YEARS OLD AND THE CONTACT WAS 22 YEARS OLD. BOTH OF THE PASSENGERS WERE WEARING SEAT BELT. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY. A POLICE REPORT WAS PROCESS. THE SERVICE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT MOMENTARILY AND I ALSO NOTICE A FLICKERING ON THE DASH LIGHTS. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND CONTINUES FOR THE 15 MINUTE COMMUTE. SO FAR I ONLY NOTICE THIS HAPPENING AT NIGHT. I NORMALLY DRIVE ABOUT 10 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK. I WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS BOTH DAYS AND NIGHTS. AS A RESULT, I TEND TO HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND HOME IN THE DARK. I AM WORRIED THAT THE SYSTEM WILL TOTALLY FAIL. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I AM DRIVING BEHIND PEOPLE AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP FLASHING AT THEM IT CAUSES ME TO WORRY THAT THEIR ATTENTION IS NOW FOCUSED ON MY HEADLIGHTS INSTEAD OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD MY RADIO, REAR-DEFROST AND HEADLIGHTS ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY/CHARGING GAUGE DROPS BELOW 10V WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HOWEVER, THE SAME CONDITION HAS BEEN REPEATED WITH ONLY THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT RUNNING. FOR EXAMPLE, HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND DASH LIGHTS, ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT OFF. I CURRENTLY HAVE BEEN DOING A SOME READING ON-LINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANY PARTS YET. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 36K; THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 24K MILES. *JB

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND FLASH FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING (LOOKS LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE). IF I STOP AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTART, IT STOPS. SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHEN I SEARCH ON-LINE. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN FIND NO ERROR CODES. *NM

NO HORN ON VEHICLE. DEALER ATTEMPTED 5 TIMES TO REPAIR BUT HORN CONTINUES NOT TO WORK. *NM

BRAKES SQUEAL ON NORMAL BRAKING. BACK TIRES SPIN ON DRY ROAD AND SQUEAL LIKE SOMEONE IS "PEELING OUT". BRAKES SEEM TO RIDE LOW TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN HAVING TO STOP QUICKLY. BESIDES THAT, THEY MAKE THE TRUCK KEEP ON ROLLING EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED . IT'S LIKE THE COMPUTER IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM DETECTS NOTHING WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP, I'VE HAD SOME VERY NEAR MISSES AS FAR AS ACCIDENTS ARE CONCERNED. I JUST PAID THIS MONSTER OFF NOW EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG. *JB

CRUISE CONTROL SHUT DOWN. IT WAS SET AT 70 MPH. VEHICLE WAS GOING UPHILL AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD DIED. THE SPEED DROP WAS SUDDEN AND DRASTIC, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES FOLLOWING WHEN IT OCCURRED. IT WOULD NOT RESUME NOR RESET BY TURNING CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH OFF AND ON. VEHICLE DID ACCELERATE USING FOOT PEDAL. STARTED VEHICLE UP NEXT DAY TO TAKE IT TO DEALER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED FINE. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD HE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE HAPPENING. *NM

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT FUNNY AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP. IT DID THIS ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO OUR TOWN AND THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING. WE BARELY MADE IT TO OUR HOUSE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. WE WENT TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT OVER HEATED LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE HOUSE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR DETERIORATED AND SENT ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAD PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING. UPON INSPECTION MECHANIC DETERMINED THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *KB THE RACK AND PINION WERE REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING HUMMING NOISES AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS AGAIN WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE NOISE RETURNED AND THIS TIME THE TECHNICIAN THOUGH IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A CAR MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER ( GET DIM AND COME BACK ON). THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT I WAS FLICKING ON MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND OFF AT HIM AND SLAMS ON THE BRAKE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT CHEVY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE.*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE LOADING LUGGAGE INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, BOTH STRUTS ON THE TAILGATE FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE ORDERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE...DURING NORMAL DRIVING WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED...AFTER SEVERAL PUMPS (7-10)THE PEDAL COMES BACK AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND BRAKING FAILURE EVENT OF THIS TYPE FOR THIS VEHICLE. AFTER THE FIRST EVENT THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, CLAIMING THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED. *JB

I BOUGHT AN 05 TRAILBLAZER EXT I HAVE HAD IT 9 MONTHS , I WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER NOTHING, IT WAS ALSO STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION, DEALERSHIP SAID I HAD A BAD BATTERY, I HAD IT CHECKED THROUGH AUTO ZONE WAS FINE , HAD IT TOWED THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER GOT IT OUT OF PARK AND WAS ABLE TO START IT. THE DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED TO SAY IT WAS THE BATTERY SO THEY CHANGED IT. I PICKED IT UP BROUGHT IT HOME AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY LIKE BEFORE. THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT STUCK IN PARK AGAIN, THEY NOW HAVE SAID THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD , WHICH WOULD CAUSE IT NOT TO START AND BE STUCK IN PARK, SO I GUESS WE WILL SEE IF IT IS FIXED OR IF IT WILL GO BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ONE WEEK. *JB

I PARKED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER RENTED FROM BUDGET RENT A CAR IN THE HOTEL PARKING LOT WHERE MYSELF AND MY FIANCE WERE CHECKING IN TO. I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND WENT INSIDE. APPROXIMATELY 30 SEC LATER THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE HILL IN A LARGE ARC (DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING LOCKED) AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION AND FOUND THAT THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED WHILE IN NEUTRAL, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO ROLL. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND ALSO WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY WHILE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE POLICE REPORT. I WAS NOT CITED SINCE THE POLICE OFFICER FOUND THE CAR TO BE DEFECTIVE. BUDGET RENT A CAR REPLACED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT QUESTION, HOWEVER ARE NOW SEEKING ME TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY BEING CONTESTED. *JB

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW VEHICLE, I DROVE AT NIGHT. WHILE DRIVING, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT DIM UPON DECELERATION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT FIX IT. NOW, I AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN AND HAVING THEM DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO LIVE WITH AND WANT IT FIXED. *JB

WHEN I BROUGHT THIS CAR IT STARTED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS. WHAT TYPE OF PROBLEMS YOU ASK PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR AND INJECTIONS. I CALLED MANY TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP I TALKED TO A GUY NAMED HENRY PALACIOS AND HE NEVER GAVE ME A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I HAD FULL COVER ON MY VEHICLE BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT DIDN'T COVER THE PROBLEMS THAT MY CAR HAD. THE SAME DATE THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE I WENT OUT OF TOWN AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. *NM

WHILE I DO NOT OWN A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, I FREQUENTLY AM DRIVING BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AND NOTE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER IS OFTEN BURNT OUT. SEEMS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OF SOME KIND OR MAYBE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE JUST PRONE TO NOT CHECKING THEIR LIGHTS. *NM

OUR NEW SUV (GSA VEHICLE) HAS A WINDSHIELD THAT SLOPES AT TO STEEP OF AN ANGLE. THE REARVIEW MIRROR IS STUCK ON THE GLASS ALMOST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD SEVERELY COMPROMISING MY FORWARD TO RIGHT SIDE VISIBILITY. WHAT WERE THE ENGINEERS THINKING?
