2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

AFTER FILLING UP MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER, MY GAS NEEDLE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT MORNING MY GAS GAUGE WAS ON FULL BUT THEN IT STARTED MOVING INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS NOT STOPPED SINCE. I AM NEVER SURE HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO ALSO HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER, IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM GM. THEY ARE OFFERING A "DEAL" AS THEY CALL IT WHERE THEY WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 120,000 MILES BUT YOU STILL HALF TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR AND GM WILL PAY THE OTHER HALF. THIS IS NOT A "DEAL", IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM AT 100%!

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING THEN WOULD OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY ALTHOUGH INCORRECTLY. RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2005 TRAILBLAZERS. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THERE IS A SPECIAL "SECRET" POLICY COVERING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE INCLUDED THE RESPONSE FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT: "I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT DAY. I DO SEE THAT YOUR VEHICLE DOES FALL UNDER THE SPECIAL POLICY 10054 WHICH EXTENDS THE WARRANTY WITH A 50/50 SPLIT UNTIL 3/30/2016 OR 120,000 MILES ON THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. IF THE ISSUE YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS BEING CAUSED BY THE SENSOR GM WOULD PAY FOR HALF THE REPAIR AND YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OTHER 50% OF THE COST WHICH YOUR PORTION WOULD BE AROUND $200-$250.00. WE WOULD HAVE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE FIRST BUT IF THE CAUSE IS THE SENSOR COVERED BY THE SPECIAL POLICY YOU WOULD ONLY OWE THE AFOREMENTIONED 50% OF THE REPAIR. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SET AN APPOINTMENT YOU CAN EITHER REPLY TO THIS EMAIL OR CALL US DIRECT AT 414-425-7180. IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW." THEY WANT $99 FOR A DIAGNOSIS TO DETERMINE IF I QUALIFY FOR A 50/50 SPLIT ON REPAIRS FOR THEIR DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS IS A RIPOFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE POWER WINDOW MODULE WAS MELTED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA12004 (VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) FOR THE 2006-2007 MODELS THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT. THE PASSENGER BECAME TRAPPED BY THE SEAT BELT WHEN IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THE CONTACT HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

THE TRAILBLAZER STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR'S GAS GAUGE DID NOT REPORT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE GAUGE WENT OUT PERMANENTLY A SHORT TIME LATER. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND GM'S ONLY REMEDY IS TO SCREW OVER CONSUMERS BY MAKING THEM PAY FOR A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART OUT OF POCKET. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT GM'S EXPENSE, OR THEY SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER A DISCOUNT. THEIR $800.00 ESTIMATE IS SILLY. *TR

THERE IS A CHEVROLET ISSUE WITH THE GAS GAUGES THAT CHEVROLET WILL NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THEY ARE ASKING CUSTOMERS TO PAY 1/2 WHICH CAN COST US TO $300 OR MORE FOR THE CUSTOMER. THE GAS GAUGE IS REGISTERING FULL THEN EMPTY WITHOUT NOTICE. THE GAUGE LIGHTS UP EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. WE NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED BUT CHEVROLET IS NOT COVERING THE ENTIRE COST AND THIS IS TRULY A MANUFACTURER RECALL. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER DAY MY GAS GAUGE IN MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SHOWED THAT MY GAS TANK WAS IN BETWEEN HALF AND QUARTER TANK OF GAS. I WAS GOING APPROX 60-65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STALLS DUE TO BEING OUT OF GAS!!!! I GET IT TOWED TO A GAS STATION AND FILL IT UP WHEN I START MY CAR NOW IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO GAS IN THE CAR WHEN I JUST FILLED THE TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AS I HAD MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHEN THE STALL ON THE HIGHWAY OCCURRED. NOT A HAPPY PERSON THESE DAYS!! *TT

NEARLY EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (APRIL 2008) AND WHILE TRAVELING FROM TENNESSEE TO NEW YORK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE RPM, ODOMETER, SPEED, FUEL GAUGE, OIL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE, ETC. COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. WHILE TRAVELING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ON I-90 E THE DRIVER HAD NO INDICATION OF THE VEHICLE SPEED. WHEN SHIFTING FROM THE LEFT PASSING LANE TO THE NEAREST MIDDLE LANE A NY STATE TROOPER CLOCKED THE VEHICLE SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 90+ MILES PER HOUR. THE DRIVER WAS SIGHTED WITH A SPEEDING TICKET DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE VEHICLE OWNER HAD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED AT A COST OF MORE THAN $500. HOWEVER, SOON AFTER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REPLACED THE GAS SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. THE OWNER COMPLAINED TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE OWNER CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE INTERNET BUT FOUND MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME AND NO RECALL INFORMATION. SINCE THE GAS SENSOR/GAUGE/FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE TIMES. ONCE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10:00 P.M. ON A DARK WINDING ROAD. ANOTHER TIME ON A VERY BUSY 4-LANE THOROUGH FARE THE VEHICLE OWNERS WITH A PASSENGER RAN OUT OF GAS AT A STOP LIGHT. MOST RECENTLY WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE PURCHASED AT LEAST 3 NEW GAS CANS SINCE WE CANNOT TELL WITH THE VEHICLE IS FULL OF GAS OR NOT. WHE

ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 12, 2010 THE VEHICLE OWNER HAD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $550 THE GAS SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. THE OWNER COMPLAINED TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE OWNER CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE INTERNET BUT FOUND MORE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO MANUFACTURE RECALL OR DATA ON EITHER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OR GAS SENOR/GAUGE. SINCE THE GAS SENSOR/GAUGE/FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE TIMES. 1). A FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10:00 P.M. ON A DARK WINDING ROAD; 2). ON A VERY BUSY 4-LANE THOROUGH FARE BOTH VEHICLE OWNERS AND A PASSENGER RAN OUT OF GAS AT A STOP LIGHT; 3). MOST RECENTLY WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-WEEKS AGO. THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL OR RUNNING LOW ON FUEL BECAUSE THE "LOW GAS" FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON MOST OF THE TIME OR WHEN THE OWNERS DO FILL-UP THE TANK THE GAS GAUGE REMAINS "E". THE OWNERS WERE QUOTED THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $500+.

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE OWNERS NOTICED THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. THE OWNERS IMMEDIATELY RETURN THE CAR TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE SPEAKERS AND THAT SEEMED TO INDICATE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR. WHILE LISTENING TO THE RADIO AT ANY VOLUME (LOW, MEDIUM OR HIGH) A HIGH PITCH, FREQUENCY OR REVERBERATION WOULD HAPPEN. THIS IS ONLY WHEN THE RADIO IS PLAYED, NOT WHEN LISTENING TO CD'S. THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO FIRMLY HIT THE MIDDLE ARM REST TO STOP THE REVERBERATION. IT'S AN ANNOYANCE BUT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ENORMOUS COSTS. PLEASE ADVICE OF EITHER SAFETY RECALLS, DEFECTS AND POSSIBLE SERVICE REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, SHE ACCIDENTALLY APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CRASHED INTO SOME CONCRETE STEPS,LEADING TO A BUILDING. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST AND BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 07/19/12*LJ THE CONSUMER SHE ATTEMPTED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK, BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/24/12

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY CRUISE CONTROL SHUT DOWN AND MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN WORKING AND NOW IT HAS STOPPED AGAIN AND STUCK ON 55 AND DOESN'T MOVE REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK. I AM VERY FRIGHTENED TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE TO REPAIR ALL THE PROBLEMS IT'S HAD. WONDERING IF THE SPEEDOMETER IS COVERED UNDER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. *JS

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK AND NOW HAS STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE READING BEGAN WORKING ERRATICALLY AND WOULD NOT DISPLAY AN ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM THAT COVERED HALF OF THE REPAIR EXPENSES FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING LOW FUEL LEVEL, I FILLED UP THE TANK AND THE GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND SAID FUEL LEVEL LOW WARNING. *TR

BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING. IN DOING RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE; THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS COMBINATION WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING AND IF FUEL RUNS OUT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY FOR EXAMPLE. I WAS JUST QUOTED OVER $880 TO FIX AND DECLINED DUE TO THE COST. *TR

CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. RPM ODOMETER DOESN'T WORK, SPEED RANGES FROM 80-OFF THE CHARTS, GAS GAUGE NOT ACCURATE. APPARENTLY BIG PROBLEM W/OVER 300 COMPLAINTS YET NO RECALL. FIRESTONE JUST QUOTED ME $700 FOR A REMOVE AND REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGE. $600 FOR THE GAUGE ITSELF. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. *TR

1 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NOT WORKING 2. 70% OF THE TIME 3.BY GM NOTHING 2005 TRAILBLAZER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL WORK FINE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SAYS WE ARE TRAVELING 0 MILES PER HOUR OR THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS WE ARE GOING SLOWER THAN OUR ACTUAL SPEED. *TR TODAY I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND NOW MY FUEL GAGE SAYS IT IS ON E AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON.

FAILURE TO GIVE AN ACCURATE READING OF AMOUNT OF FUEL. *JS

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED,. THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE. *JS

MY FUEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FIXED BUT I DON'T HAVE THE $1100.00 TO PAY FOR IT. *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILS. AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING GAS TANK, GAUGE STILL SHOWS BELOW EMPTY AND LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE - ONCE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS FORTUNATE TO COAST THRU THE INTERSECTION AND MAKE IT TO THE SIDE. I NOW TRACK MY GAS USAGE VIA MILEAGE BUT THIS IS NOT ACCURATE AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO STOP AND PUT GAS IN EVERY OTHER DAY FOR FEAR OF BREAKING DOWN AGAIN WITH MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. I HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT ALSO OWN 2005 TRAILBLAZERS AND THEY ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS DISCUSSING THIS AN I AM SURPRISED CHEVROLET HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IF THEY HAVE, I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESOLVE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

1) FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWS AN EMPTY READING DESPITE JUST BEING FILLED. AFTER DRIVING FOR 40-50 MILES GAUGE WILL SHOW ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN GO BACK TO EMPTY. WHEN PROBLEM FIRST STARTED THE GAUGE WAS ALL OVER THE DIAL. 2) SPEEDOMETER ERRATICALLY WILL SHOW A SPEED AT A GREATER SPEED THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING. RECENTLY SHOWED GOING 110MPH DESPITE TRAVELING ALONG WITH TRAFFIC FLOW OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED A LEVEL OF EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT WAS FRACTURED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP10001 (FUEL TANK FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM) THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING WHICH RESULTED IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. SHOWS THAT THERE IS FUEL WHEN IT IS EMPTY AND APPEARS TO SHOW EMPTY AT RANDOM TIMES AS IT'S SHOWING ME EMPTY WHEN I JUST FILLED UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY PROVIDE AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE EXHIBITING SPORADIC STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK FULL AND IT THEN THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON. I AM HAVING TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILES SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE FUEL NEEDLE KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN, NOT READING ACCURATELY. NOW EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT I PUT GAS IN THIS HAPPENS. VERY FRUSTRATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN I WANT TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN AND YOU ARE NOT SURE WHEN YOU'LL SEE THE NEXT GAS STATION. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS? *JS *KB

THE FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE.....IS THERE A RECALL? *TR

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK COMPLETELY AND THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERED "EMPTY." THE TRUCK HAS ALSO STALLED A FEW TIMES IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS BACKING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED. I HAD TO QUICKLY RE-START IT TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SINCE MY FUEL GAGE SENSOR BROKE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEEDLE GO FROM "FULL" TO "EMPTY" ALL WITHIN A MINUTE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND HAVE FOUND THAT CHEVROLET USED A CHEAPER FUEL SENSOR MANUFACTURER (DELCO) IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE FUEL SENSOR. PLEASE ADVISE CHEVROLET TO RECALL THIS FAULTY PART AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY TRAILBLAZER'S GAS GAUGE HAS READ EMPTY FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW, THE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. IT HAS CAUSED BREAKDOWNS WHILE DRIVING. AFTER READING OTHER POSTS, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP. I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT GM WOULD PAY FOR HALF ONLY IF IT HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM BUT STILL NO RECALL. *TR

HI UNION BOILERMAKER, NEW 2005 CHEVY, 2 COMPUTERS GM UNDERSIZED THANKS GM ,, PAID 558.00 TO FIX FUEL GAUGE, SENSOR SHOT... *TR

LIKE MANY PEOPLE MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS DURING A COLD SNAP AND ALL OF THE GAUGES GOT STUCK ON THE DOWN OR OFF POSITION. AFTER SOME TIME SOME OF THE GAUGES (IE. SPEEDOMETER ,TACHOMETER, AND OIL PRESSURE ) STARTING WORKING AGAIN HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE READINGS WERE INACCURATE. AFTER SOME TIME ELAPSED (THIS YEAR - 2012) THE TACHOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS HAS BECOME AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION BECAUSE NO VITAL INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDE TO THE DRIVER AND THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, READS EMPTY AT ANY FUEL LEVEL, *TR

THE CAR STATES I AM GOING 50 MPH LESS THAN MY ACTUAL SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY GPS I WOULDN'T KNOW MY ACTUAL SPEED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE. PLEASE RECALL THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLIGHTS UNINTENDEDLY FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN ACTIVATED ON TWENTY SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER EIGHTS TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURES. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300. SM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER, BATTERY AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES WERE PROVIDING ERRONEOUS READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE LIGHTING, BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, FLICKERS THIS CAUSES DISORIENTATION AND INHIBITS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. IT HAS ALSO CAUSED ME TO BE PULLED OVER BY POLICE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT EVEN LIKE DRIVING AT NIGHT ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THEY WILL GO OUT COMPLETELY. *TR

AFTER WAITING AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AS YOU GO TO ACCELERATE THE RPMS OF THE MOTOR DROP OF BY 100 TO 200 THEN PICK UP. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TRYING TO START MY CAR. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $2000 DIAGNOSING THIS PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE HEATER AND A/C DON'T WORK. MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS INSIDE MY CAR DO NOT WORK, THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK. BASICALLY MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD DOES NOT WORK. WHAT DID CHEVY DO ABOUT IT?? SENT ME A LETTER STATING THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY HALF OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE FUEL GAGE BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE FIXED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I COULD GET THE SAME THING FIXED AT MY MECHANIC AND PAY THE FULL AMOUNT AND IT WOULD STILL COST ME LESS THAN HAVING THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT AND CHEVY PAYING HALF THE COSTS. DON'T THINK I WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER CHEVY ANYTIME SOON. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE ALWAYS READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS FULL. ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS GOES ON AND OFF BETWEEN A MATTER OF DAYS. RECENTLY MY HEAT WENT OUT IN MY CAR WE CHANGED THE RESISTOR AND FOUND OUT ONE OF THE PRONGS WERE BURNT OUT. A WEEK LATER THE HEAT WENT OUT AGAIN. LOOKED AT THE RESISTOR AND THE SAME PRONG WAS BURNT OUT!! I'M GETTING REALLY FED UP WITH THIS VEHICLE! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND WOULD DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING MUCH FASTER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED DRIVEN. THE CONTACT STATE THAT WHILE IN A PARKING LOT, THE SPEEDOMETER ERRONEOUSLY DISPLAYED THAT THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD BECOME EXTREMELY DIM WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

FUEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. *KB

AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK PRIOR TO A LONG DISTANCE TRIP TO FLORIDA I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. I WAS FORCED TO ESTIMATE THE GAS MILEAGE AND HOPED I WOULDN'T RUN OUT OF GAS. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR STREET IN THE ATLANTA AREA AFTER I CALCULATED THAT I HAD STILL APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES BEFORE EMPTY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT NOT WITHOUT CAUSING A MAJOR BACK UP AND POTENTIALLY BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO SPEEDING DRIVERS IN THE AREA. I HAD CONTACTED GM IN THE PAST REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY APPARENTLY FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS A BIT FAR FETCHED THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR WHEN ON EVERY CHEVY BLOG AND MESSAGE BOARD ALL YOU SEE IS FRUSTRATED CHEVY OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM GM RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AND OFFERING TO PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. NOW, HOW INSULTING IS THAT??? YOU OBVIOUSLY NOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE QUALITY OF YOUR PRODUCT AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE HELPING US OUT BY PAYING FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR? THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND STAND BEHIND THEIR SUPPOSED QUALITY PRODUCT. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN ENTICE THESE SCAM ARTISTS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND STOP PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES ON THE LINE IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE A BUCK!! *TR

FUEL GAUGE REMAINS AT EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK. TT

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEGUN TO HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEMS AND IN SPEAKING TO OTHER CHEVY OWNERS THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN OTHER MODELS AND YEARS OF CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUVS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT CHEVY CHOOSES NOT TO RECALL, WHICH IS WHY I'LL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVROLET. BEGINNING A FEW MONTHS AGO MY GAUGES BEGAN TO BE ERRATIC. STARTING WITH MY SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT ZERO AND THEN LATER STICKING AT 60MPH EVEN WHILE SITTING STILL. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. NEXT WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFICE LIGHTS OR STOPS SIGNS MY ENGINE BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD WITHOUT APPLYING THE GAS. WHEN THE VEHICLE SURGES THE RPM GAUGE ALSO JUMPS UP. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE TRANSMISSION AT 50K MILES AND NOW SINCE PASSING 100K MILES HAVE BEGUN TO HAVE ROUGH SHIFTING AGAIN IN MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN A ROUGH MANNER, SPEED, OR HAUL A TRAILER, SO THERE IS NO REASON TO BE GOING THROUGH TRANSMISSIONS. NOW MY FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I'M HAVING TO TRACK MY MILEAGE WITH MY ODOMETER. I'VE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS AND NO HELP OFFERED FROM THE MAKER. * TR
