2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

MY GAS GAUGE HAS STAYED ON EMPTY FOR A MONTH OR SO WITH THE GAS LIGHT ON. I HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I PUT GAS IN IT THE NIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER DIED AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP ON ME. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK WHAT SO EVER. AND I JUST HAD BRAND NEW BRAKES PUT ON A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT KEPT GOING. I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. IT TOOK ME THREE TURNS ONTO THREE DIFFERENT STREETS BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. AND MY BACK WHEELS WERE MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND SMELLED REALLY BAD WHEN I GOT OUT. I ALWAYS KEEP A GAS CAN IN THE BACK IN CASE I EVER RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THE GAUGE NOT WORKING. AND MIND YOU I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE A YEAR. GM SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY SOMEONE WAS WATCHING OVER ME AND THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS HEADED TOWARD ME. IT WAS ON A MAIN ROADS THAT HAS A 45 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WILL NOT REGISTER GAS IN TANK. *TR

WHILE WAITING IN LINE OF A CAR WASH MY CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SHUT OFF AND A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FILLED THE VEHICLE WHILE WHAT APPEARED TO BE GAS LEAKED FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. AFTER DOING SOME READING ON THE ISSUE I'M DISCOVERING THIS IS HAPPENING REGULARLY TO CHEVROLET VEHICLES AND RECALLS ARE NOT BEING MADE. HAD WE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR A BUSY STREET WHERE PEOPLE CONSTANTLY FLICK CIGARETTES OUT THE WINDOW, THIS COULD HAVE PLAYED OUT DIFFERENTLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT CAN BE COSTLY TO HAVE A RECALL BUT MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE SUV AND FROM THE SOUND OF IT SO WERE OTHER FAMILY'S. I HAVE HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE AND VERY UPSET THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED AND COST LESS IF A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET FOR NOT VALUING THEIR CUSTOMERS! *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT, 55500 MILES, BOUGHT NEW. IN JANUARY 2013 I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK. WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO 0 (EMPTY). THEREAFTER, THE GAUGE READS INTERMITTENTLY BETWEEN WHAT SEEMS TO BE NORMAL & EMPTY. THE ERROR CODE P0463 (OBD II, OBD2) INDICATES A FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. THIS LEAVES ME WITH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. WHY? SCENARIO: YOUR TRAVELING 60 MPH, RUN OUT OF FUEL & NOW HAVE A DISABLED VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY WITH OTHER TRAVELERS WHIZZING BY. THE REPAIR FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS SAID TO BE $600 TO OVER $1000. BY THE WAY, I HAD A '97 S10 BLAZER THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE CURRENTLY ALMOST ONE MILLION COMPLAINTS REGISTERED FOR THE SAME THING ON GM VEHICLES.

REFUELED WITH GAS AND GAUGE DID NOT GO UP. EVER SINCE, GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW PROPER LEVEL OF GAS IN TANK. GOT A LETTER FROM GM BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY HALF TO REPAIR IT WHICH TOTAL COST IS $266.00 MY COST IS $133.00 GM KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD OFFER A TOTAL RECALL INSTEAD OF A RIP-OFF OF 50-50 TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

IN 2007 I PAID OFF MY VEHICLE AND NOW BECAME THE PROUD OWNER OF MY TRUCK. IN 2009, I NOTICED SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK. FIRST, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD SAY "F" FULL, BUT REALLY IT WAS ON "E" EMPTY. THEN THE MILEAGE GAUGE ? I CAN BE ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING AS FAST AS THE OTHER CARS, BUT MY CAR READS 20 MPH. THIS IS CRAZY!!!! I CALLED AT 800-NUMBER FOR GMC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS OR ANY OTHERS CALLS FOR THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER, WHICH I KNEW WAS A HUGE LIE!!!! I DECIDED TO GO ON LINE AND GOOGLE THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. WOW? GUESSES WHAT I SEEN? THERE WERE OVER 41,000 PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAD FOR THEIR 2005 TRAILBLAZER. AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK HAS GOTTEN WORST. IN 2010, I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEIR STILL WASN'T ANY OTHER CALLS OR CONCERNS WITH MY TRUCK AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. WELL, I DID .. . IN 2011, I CALLED AGAIN.. SAME SCRIPT SAME STORY!!! I RECEIVED A LETTER FOR A EMISSION TEST FOR MY CAR. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE UP TO THE EMISSION TESTING IT FAILED!!! . I GOT AN ESTIMATE COST OF $ 1900, PLUS THEY FOUND 3 ADDITIONAL CODES. . WELL, I GOT A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA. I WENT FROM PAYING NO CAR NOTE, TO $381.00 A MONTH NOTE. THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2011.. I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET ADDRESSING THE ISSUES WITH THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS, AND OFFERING 50% ON REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN CALLING ON FOR 2 YEARS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS STARTED TO REGISTER THE FUEL INCORRECTLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, AND THEN WILL VARY FROM THERE SOMETIMES SHOWING FUEL, SOMETIMES NOT. I AM HEARING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS OPENED MID-WAY INDEPENDENTLY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, SHE FOUND THAT THE COMPONENTS WERE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND SHE WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH A FUSE AND THE MASTER SWITCH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

FILLED UP TRUCK AND GAS GAUGE STILL SAID IT WAS EMPTY. GAS GAUGE IS FAULTY AND NO LONGER WORKS. HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE NOW SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I ALSO READ THAT GM IS WILLING TO COVER HALF THE COST AND WERE SUPPOSE TO SEND A LETTER STATING THAT. NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING. NOT AT ALL IMPRESSED WITH GM AND WILL FIND IT HARD TO STAY A LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING 120+MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN STICKING AND INDICATING INCORRECT SPEED FOR ABOUT A MONTH. NORMALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS COLD. WHEN DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WARMS UP, THE SPEEDOMETER EVENTUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. *TR

NOTE: THIS IS THE SECOND CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 204 , 2012, WHILE ON A TRIP FROM HOUSTON TX TO WINONA MN, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RANCH ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP TO LET A PASSENGER GET OUT AND OPEN A GATE. I DROVE THROUGH THE OPEN GATE AND PUT THE TRAILBLAZER IN PARK WHILE WAITING FOR THE GATE TO BE CLOSED AND THE PASSENGER TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE. I THEN WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO MOVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND, ONCE AGAIN, THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A MECHANIC WAS CALLED OUT AND, HE TOO PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH HIT THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE OF ANY KIND. THERE WERE THREE EYEWITNESSES TO THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THIS MECHANIC REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY 05 TRAILBLAZER OWNER WHO HAS SUFFERED THROUGH CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE EVENTS. A LISTING OF INVESTIGATIONS IS GIVEN ON THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.FAQS.ORG/CAR/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER-2005/SERVICE-BRAKES/. *TR

, I WAS APPROACHING A LINE OF CARS STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND I WAS DECELERATING AND MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. AS I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THEY FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR,WITH NO RESISTANCE, AND I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A STOPPED PICKUP TRUCK?.WATCHING IT ALL UNFOLD BEFORE MY EYES WHILE MY FOOT FRANTICALLY PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH HIT THE FLOOR WITH EACH ATTEMPT. ALTHOUGH IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT THAT HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN YOU NEED TO PICK UP DAILY AND DRIVE TO PRACTIVES NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE SO YOUR ALWAYS IN A PANIC TO PUT MORE. *TR

I WAS REFUELING ON GAS, WHEN I STARTED THAT TRUCK BACK UP, MY FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT THE TRUCK WAS EMPTY OF FUEL. NOW MIND YOU I JUST PLACED $44.50 INTO THE GAS TANK WHICH AT THE TIME THE GAS PUMP CLICK TO LET ME KNOW THE TANK WAS FULL OF FUEL. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 DAYS FOR THE FUEL INDICATOR TO SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TRUCK. NOW EVER TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT STATES IT IS EMPTY AFTER TURNING THE TRUCK BACK ON AND OFF ON THE FOURTH TIME THEN THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL SHUT OFF AND FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SHOW 120 MPHS WHEN DRIVING 40 MPHS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY, WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON, AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK. SOMETIMES, WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE NEEDLE MOVES UP AND READS NON-EMPTY AND THEN BACK TO EMPTY TRIGGERING THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND THE LOW FUEL BELL. *TR

FUEL LIGHT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED AN ERRONEOUS FUEL LEVEL READING OF EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH A FLUCTUATION OF THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

DUE TO A FAULTY GAS GAUGE THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY THREE MIILES AWAY FROM FUEL WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MY TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK HANDLE WAS RUSTED OFF (KIND OF HARD TO REMOVE IT). I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE THAT REPLACES THEM EITHER.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW FUEL SENSOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED.THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW FUEL SENSOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING THE INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS AN EXTREMELY INACCURATE READING, OR DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. *TR

IS NO LONGER WORKING BROKEN. *TR

THE FUEL SENSOR LEVEL IS OUT. IT IS GOING TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO FIX....AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT APPEARS SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL??? *TR

I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR! I HAVE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES. HE HAS REPLACED SOME SENSORS BUT THE CAR STILL...PUTTERS..PUTTERS.. AND PUTTERS......HELP!!! THE CAR JERKS, PUTTERS AND SOMETIMES DIES WHILE DRIVING! *TR

MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THE LEFT UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS NEED REPLACED.....WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG THIS CAR! *TR

WHEN MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, IT SHOWED I HAD FUEL IN MY TANK, TURNS OUT I DID NOT. I RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE ON AN INTERSTATE IN MAINE..IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, AT NIGHT, ON ICY ROADS, TRAVELING AT APPROX 35 MILES AN HOUR. AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF FUEL, THE POWER STEERING & BRAKING SHUT DOWN AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AS WELL AS VERY DANGEROUS... ESPECIALLY ON ICY ROADS IN MAINE IN JANUARY. I AM A YOUNG LADY AND HAPPENED TO BE ALL ALONE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND NOT TO MENTION I WAS ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST GAS STATION.. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS NOT HAPPY. I WASN'T ABOUT TO HIKE THE INTERSTATE, BY MYSELF IN FREEZING COLD WEATHER AT NIGHT.. I DO NOT HAVE A DEATH WISH. ALTHOUGH I HAD TO SIT IN MY VEHICLE, WHERE I HAD NO HEAT, DUE TO NO FUEL, AND WAIT FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR MY DAD TO COME RESCUE ME. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, AND IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM, BECAUSE AS YOU'VE HEARD BY ME, AND MANY OTHERS, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS GO BACK INTO 2007, IT'S NOW 2012.. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? FATAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY? MAKE IT RIGHT GM. YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST OF THIS... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER.

THE CONTACT BECAME UNCONSCIOUS AFTER HIS HEAD CRASHED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO, THE CONTACT SUFFERED SEVERE NECK INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER BUT THE RESULTS WERE INCONCLUSIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,429. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 10/31/12 *CN UPDATED 11/9/2012 *JS

THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WENT OUT. CAR COMPLETELY DIED. IT'S AN $1,100 FIX AND I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. NO NOTED RECALL YET. WANTED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN HE UNEXPECTEDLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

I WENT TO GAS STATION AND FILLED UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION, MY FUEL LIGHT WAS ON SHOWING MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, THE GAS GAGE WOULD GO UP AND DOWN AND NOT SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS. NOW, IT ALWAYS SHOWS EMPTY WITH THE GAS LIGHT ON. THIS IS AN ISSUE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE AT ANY TIME. *TR

FUEL SENSOR DOES NOT WORK ! AFTER FILLING GAS TANK COMPLETELY, FUEL GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY. GAUGE CAN SOMETIMES READ UP TO HALF, THEN DROPS TO A QUARTER, THEN JUST DROPS TO EMPTY WHENEVER IT PLEASES. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER ACTS VERY "TWITCHY". I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE SAME EXACT ISSUES AND FEEL THAT A FULL RECALL IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. *TR

THE BLOWER/FAN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER STOPPED WORKING. IT FIRST BEGAN WITH #4 AND #5 ON THE FAN SELECTOR SWITCH NOT WORKING, BUT THEN IT STOPPED ALTOGETHER. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS BLOWER MOTOR PROBLEM IS VERY POPULAR AMONGST THESE VEHICLES. ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASH HASN'T WORKED IN ABOUT 3 YEARS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. AGAIN, THIS IS VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITHIN THE TRAILBLAZER COMMUNITY. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $774 FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR TO BE FIXED AND $600 FOR THE FUEL GAUGE TO BE FIXED. *TR

DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED, THEN CASCADING FAILURES, ANTI-LOCK LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND WOULD NOT MAKE POWER, ENGINE QUIT. NOTE TRANSMISSION GEAR INDICATOR READ INCORRECTLY. DISCONNECTED BATTERY, AND RECONNECTED, ENGINE STARTED GOT ME HOME. THREE OCCURRENCES THAT THE ENGINE JUST QUITS. IT WILL RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE, MECHANIC FOUND A CODE INDICATING THE ECM MAY BE BAD. HE TELLS ME THIS SHOULD HAVE NOTING TO DO WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. THE DOOR LOCKS LATCH AND UNLATCH, UNCOMMANDED. ENGINE STOPS WHEN UNDER POWER. MECHANIC HAS NO COURSE OF ACTION AT THIS TIME. *TR

MY 2005 TRAIL BLAZER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS GOING OUT IT STARTED WITH THE OIL GAUGE AND NOW ITS THE GAS GAUGE, I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT EVENTUALLY MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM NOT AWARE OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE OR IF THE OIL PRESSURE IS HAVING AN ISSUE. THIS REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP IS COSTLY. *TR

GAS GAUGE WAS READING INACCURATELY RESULTING IN CAR STALL. ALSO, SPEEDOMETER IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY - WILL START OUT ANYWHERE FROM 5 MPH TO 45 MPG OVER FROM STANDSTILL. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE SOMETIMES. IT SAYS THERE IS FUEL WHEN THERE IS NOT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS READ EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE FUEL TANK WAS COMPLETELY FULL.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2006, 2007 TRAILBLAZER RECALL OF AUGUST 2012. THE DOOR MODULE SHORTED OUT. *TR

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY WIFE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WENT OUT WHILE WE DRIVING HOME TO VA FROM SC. THEY STILL WONT WORK. APPARENTLY MINE AINT THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHY WONT CHEVY RECALL THEM AND REPAIR THEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE, WINDOW SWITCH BEGAN TO SMOKE SO I PHYSICALLY REMOVED THE SWITCH AND HAVE SINCE NOT HAD POWER WINDOW ACCESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR. THE COST TO REPLACE WAS TOO GREAT AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIORITY LIST. MORE RECENTLY, MAYBE 2 MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER SIDE SWITCH SHOWED SIGNS OF THE SAME RESULTS AFTER A SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRONICS AND HEAT TO THE TOUCH SO I SIMPLY UNPLUGGED THE SWITCH ALL TOGETHER. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE SWITCHES IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH CHEVROLET IN THE PAST WITH COMPLAINTS SO I FIGURED I WOULD WAIT UNTIL I HAD A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY TO REPLACE THESE SWITCHES. ON THE NEWS TODAY I HEARD THE END OF A REPORT AND ONLY CAUGHT THE WORDS GM AND WINDOW SWITCHES SO I CAME HOME AND SEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS SO ARTICLES INVOLVING 2006 MODELS. THAT IS HOW I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE. I WOULD VERY MUCH HATE TO FIND OUT THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS FURTHER THAN 2006. AN UNRELATED PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS QUITE UNNERVING, WAS THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT @ 65 MPH APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. THE FIXTURE BECAME UN ATTACHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WAS "FLAPPING" OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ONLY FOR A MATTER OF TIME, I'M SURE. LUCKILY OUR FAMILY WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FAMILY AND THEY NOTIFIED US BY CELL PHONE AND WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE FIXTURE WITHOUT INCIDENT ON THE SHOULDER. IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS PROBLEMS WIT
