2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

CHEVY TRAILBAZER 05... GAS GAUGE KEEPS MOVING FROM LOW TO EMPTY BACK TO FULL,SOMETIMES IT STAYS AT EMPTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. FUEL SENDING UNIT KEEPS FAILING. UNIT WAS REPLACED IN 2007 AT DEALERSHIP. SENDING UNIT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN. VERY EXPENSIVE LABOR NEEDED TO FIX THIS. WHEN I FIXED THE FIRST TIME I HAD WARRANTY NOW IT HAS EXPIRED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE WITH A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALSO MY..TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS IS A COMPLETELY DEFECT OF THE CAR. MY MAJOR FEAR IS TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR TO STALL. LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT.....ALSO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT KEEP GETTING DARKER..SOMETIMES SEVERAL LIGHTS COME ON. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GAS LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND SHOWING EMPTY. REPLACEMENT WILL BE BETWEEN 700-1000 DOLLARS FOR THE FIX. MUST USE MILEAGE TO GAUGE WHEN I NEED FUEL. THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE 2006. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR BEEN REAR-ENDED, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND FIXED BY CHEVY. *TR

I JUST GOT MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER 2 WEEK AGO AND THE CAR LOT FAIL TO INFORM US THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BROKEN,, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WITCH WAS OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS, I HAD MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WITH ME AND WE HAD TO WALK IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER TO GET GAS,, AND MY SON GOT A SUN BURN ON HIS FACE AND ARMS, I BELIEVE THAT IF MY GAS GAUGE WAS WORKING THEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN STRANDED ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY SON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS FUEL GAUGE DID NOT DISPLAY THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, THE GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT. WITH NO WARNING, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE CAR IS WELL CARED FOR AND REGULARLY SERVICED. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NO POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, AND THAT THEY DO NOT REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO ME FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $2720.31. *TR UPDATED 10/27/10. *LJ

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED TRACKING THE FUEL AMOUNT, IT HAS CAUSED ME TO NOT KNOW THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALSO DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOP IS INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AFTER FILL UPS, IT WOULD STICK ON EMPTY AND A CHIME WOULD DING. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START TO WORK. HOWEVER, NOW IT IS COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS ONE NEVER KNOWS THE FUEL LEVEL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. A LOCAL DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A SENSOR AND COULD COST BETWEEN 800-1200 DOLLARS. I THINK A RECALL IS ORDER SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH "2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM" IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO CONCLUDE THAT GM SHOULD RECALL THIS PART. *TR

WHEN I FINISHED FUELING UP MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THE FUEL GAUGE STILL SHOWED EMPTY. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. HAVE RUN OUT OF FUEL ONCE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. NOT A VERY SAFE SITUATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN TRACK HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IS BY KEEPING UP WITH MY MILEAGE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN TRAILBLAZERS AND THAT IT WOULD COST $500-$600 TO REPAIR. WHEN I DID A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT! I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS WASN'T A RECALL! I GOT NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE GENERAL MOTORS AND WAS ONLY TOLD TO "GO THROUGH MY DEALER."DEALER DIDN'T CARE. ONE MINUTE IT SAYS I HAVE GAS THEN THE NEXT, EMPTY. *TR

I WAS PUTTING GAS IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER.. WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION THE EMPTY LIGHT STAYED ON.... NOW IT IS STUCK ON EMPTY. *TR
