2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND NOW THE OIL GAUGE IS ALSO NOT WORKING. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN SINCE I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM DRIVING. IT WILL COST AROUND $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER. IT RANDOMLY GOES UP TO VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES NO SPEED AT ALL, MEANING IT HANGS BETWEEN 120 AND 0. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE AT TIMES I AM GUESSING MY SPEED AND MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS IN THE CAR WITH ME. CHEVROLET/GMC SHOULD HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THIS A LONG TIME AGO. THEY KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS CONSUMERS, SO HOW CAN THEY NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT IS THEIR FAULT? I DON'T THINK THE BUYERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $500 OR MORE OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE'S VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS BECOME ERRATIC DISPLAYING FUEL LEVELS FROM EMPTY TO FULL WITH DIFFERENT VARIATIONS DISPLAYED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. *TR

I'VE SEEN THE OTHER LISTINGS ALSO DESCRIBING THIS COMPLAINT, SAME SYMPTOMS. WITHOUT NOTICE, SPEEDOMETER WILL CEASE TO WORK CORRECTLY, SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR ACTUAL TRAVELING SPEED IT. THIS IS AN IMMENSE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SHARED MY CONCERNS WITH MY LAWYER AND IF A RECALL IS NOT ISSUED TO ALL THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WILL COSTS GM MUCH MORE MONEY THAN A RECALL. IN JUST ONE GOOGLE SEARCH MANY COMPLAINTS WERE FOUND. EXAMPLE: [XXX] , AL, USA 2010FEB 12 TRAILBLAZER 3.2L V6 IT'S VERY HARD TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. I AM AFRAID THAT I COULD GET A SPEEDING TICKET AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE. MY SPEED SHOWS I AM DOING 120 MPH WHEN I START MY CAR. THIS IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT. I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE OWNED BLAZERS SINCE 1984. I CAN'T BELIEVE CHEVY WONT BACK UP THE CONSUMER. IT WILL BE THE LAST CHEVY I EVER OWN.[XXX]WEST MONROE, NY, USA 2009DEC 15 TRAILBLAZER LS V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 61,000 MILES I WAS A CHEVY MAN INTIL I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER, NOW CHEVY CAN KISS MY [XXX].

TRAILBLAZER WAS MAKING ROARING NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTING UP AND TOOK ABOUT 2 MINUTES FOR IT TO RUN NORMAL, VOLTAGE METER FLUCTUATES AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS DIMMING INTERMITTENTLY DURING THIS TIME. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. WHEN FIRST TAKING OFF AFTER BEING STOPPED, ENGINE ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY. IT JUMPS, AND I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES. IT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT (SINCE JAN '09). THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IF THE RADIO IS LEFT ON, IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS. JUST HAD CLUTCH FAN AND WATER PUMP REPLACED AND THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. AFTER HAVING THAT DONE, IT STILL MAKES A ROARING NOISE FOR THE FIRST FIVE TO TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING. GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC ON IT TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE SUV IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS, 4WD, 6 CYLINDER MOTOR AND HAS ABOUT 88,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT - SPEEDOMETER HAS CEASED TO WORK. I EITHER SAYS I AM GOING ZERO OR 120 MPH. HAVE NOW GOTTEN 2 SPEEDING TICKETS AND CAN NOT GET INSPECTED UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET FOR HOURS NOW AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING WITH THE SAME YEAR CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. NEXT STEP ACCORDING TO MOST IS THE GAS GAUGE CEASING TO WORK. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST LIKE THE OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS. WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED, IT WILL READ EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT/SIGNAL COMES ON. THE GAUGE WILL THEN READ INCORRECTLY AND GO BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK FULL. I NEVER KNOW FOR SURE HOW MUCH FULL I HAVE IN THE TANK AFTER I FILL IT. I MUST GO ON MILEAGE. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILING. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS POSTED ONLINE CONCERNING THE REPEATED FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. GAUGE NEEDLE MOVES UP AND DOWN AND PRIMARILY REGISTERS EMPTY. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS. WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED WITH FUEL THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AND THE WARNING SIGNAL CONTINUALLY GOES OFF. WITH FUEL IN THE TANK THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY DISPLAYING INCORRECT READINGS. THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT ACTUALLY KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS CONCERNS ME GREATLY. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS 4.2L V6 DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT STAYS AT EMPTY EVEN AFTER I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT IN MY TANK AND AM FORCED TO CONSTANTLY PUT GAS IN. *TR
