2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STICKS AT EMPTY OR JUST AROUND 1/4 OF A TANK THEN FALLS BACK TO EMPTY AND LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE RESEARCHED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A HIGHLY PREVALENT ISSUE ON '05 TRAILBLAZERS AT AROUND 50K MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 EXTENDED CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. AT 37,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER WITH THE WARRANTY. TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $1200.00!!!! THE GAUGE QUIT WORKING 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRAILBLAZER AND I PAID $25000 FOR IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING, BUT THEN I FOUND MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO'S FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING ALSO. I KNOW THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FUEL GAUGE. I WANT SOMETHING DONE.!!!! I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY ROAD, AND MY 4 KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER!! *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. SPEEDOMETER READS 100 MPH WHEN SITTING STILL. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS SAME COMPLAINT AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE LIGHT READS EMPTY AND ALARMS EVEN WHEN TANK HAS GAS IN IT. INITIALLY IT WAS OCCASIONALLY THEN IT READ ERRONEOUSLY NOW IT JUST STAYS ON EMPTY, EVEN WHEN TANK HAS JUST BEEN FILLED. *TR

REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LAST EVENING 4/08/2010 IN TOWN AND MY SPEEDOMETER STARTING SPEEDING UP WITHOUT ME ACCELERATING. AT REST THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 45 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE UP TO 90MPH WHEN I'M TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO INCREASE EVEN IF I AM AT A STEADY TRAVELING SPEED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER REGISTERS CORRECT SPEED. GAUGE READS 110 MPH WHILE VEHICLE IS SITTING MOTIONLESS IN DRIVE WAY. WHILE DRIVING SPEEDOMETER SWINGS WILDLY. WHILE TRAVELING USING GPS UNIT TO GIVE SPEED VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WAS CONSISTENTLY OFF BY MORE THAN 50 MPH. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS SEVERELY OUT OF WHACK! IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER TOLD ME I WAS GOING 90 MPH WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. IT EVENTUALLY CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT NOW IT GOES OUT EVERY SO OFTEN WITHOUT WARNING. SINCE THE TIME WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER 1ST WENT OUT, MY OIL GAUGE IS COMPLETELY PEGGED OUT AND WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF, THE BATTERY GAUGE COMES AND GOES, AS WELL AS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS ALL OVER THE U.S. AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE GM TRAILBLAZERS. IF YOU ASK ME, I BELIEVE IT CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW FAST YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE DRIVING. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR GAS GAUGE GO COMPLETELY OUT AS WELL. MINE TRIED TO QUICK WORKING FOR ME ONLY ONE TIME, BUT CORRECTED ITSELF WITHIN 24 HOURS. LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T GO OUT LIKE THE OIL GAUGE HAS AND THE FLUCTUATING SPEEDOMETER. *TR
