2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER'S FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IT STARTED AFTER I FILLED THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS ON FEBRUARY 26TH I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE PART BUT JUST NOT HAD TIME TO GET TO IT JUST YET. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING OF EMPTY, AFTER GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANKS CAPACITY, THE FUEL GAUGE CONSISTENTLY INDICATED THAT IT WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLES COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS RESET THERE WOULD BE AN ACCURATE READING. CURRENTLY, THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING AFTER BEING RESET. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK RUSTED OFF AT THE TOP. RUSTING INSIDE A TRANSMISSION IS A CONCERN FOR THE OVERALL LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

SPEEDOMETER BEGAN STICKING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND EVENTUALLY JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IT STAYS AT 0 MPH ALL THE TIME NOW. I EVEN RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET IN FEB 2010 BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAS LITERALLY "BLOWN UP" ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE WAS AT A BUSY GROCERY STORE WHEN SHE STARTED TO LOWER THE BACK HATCH AND THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW EXPLODED. IT WAS SO LOUD AND DEVASTATING THAT SHE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD FIRED A SHOTGUN INTO THE BACK WINDOW! THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDOW IN 2008 AS A COURTESY. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I DROPPED MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN OFF AT SCHOOL. I OPENED THE GATE, REMOVED THEIR SCHOOL BAGS, SHUT THE HATCH AND TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3 STEPS AND KAPOWW! THE ENTIRE WINDOW EXPLODED RIGHT IN THE SCHOOL'S BUS CIRCLE. THE EXPLOSION WAS SO GREAT THAT IT EVEN BLEW ONE OF THE WINDOW LIFT CYLINDERS RIGHT OUT INTO THE ROAD!! THE WIFE WASN'T KIDDING...THE SOUND IS DEAFENING. CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED 03-08-48-006G REV. FEB 25TH 2010) REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WINDOW CLIPS. I WAS ISSUED A CASE NO. IN ESSENCE I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE CLIPS WEREN'T REPLACED IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. WELL UNFORTUNATELY THIS BULLETIN WASN'T AVAILABLE IN 2008 SO IT HAPPENED AGAIN. CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN, WAS TOLD VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES, IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THE ORIGINAL REPAIR WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 1 YEAR, AND THAT THIS IS "MY BABY' TO DEAL WITH. BUT THE SERVICE REP OFFERED ME $1000,00 GM LOYALTY BUCKS (SOMETHING LIKE THIS) THAT I COULD USE ON A NEW GM VEHICLE. I AM FURIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST AND WHEN I ASKED FOR THE NAME AND NUMBER OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP HE TOLD ME THAT I COULD HAVE THE NAME, BUT NOT THE NUMBER, AS HIS SUPERVISOR DOESN'T SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS!!!! *TR

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS TRAVELING 95 MPH AND PEOPLE WERE PASSING ME LIKE I WAS SITTING STILL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SPEEDOMETER/ CLUSTER ON EVERY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME SPEEDOMETER EXCEPT THE TRAILBLAZER. NOW I'M FINDING MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GM SAYS THEY WILL TRY TO GET A REDUCED FEE TO GET IT FIXED - NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR NOTHING AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. FUEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING AT 32,000 MILES. I HAVE CALLED AND IT IS AROUND $600 TO FIX. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE SOMETIMES READS ALL THE WAY FULL OR ALL THE WAY EMPTY OR SOMETIMES 1/4 TANK AND THIS COULD LEAD TO ME RUNNING OUT OF GAS AT WORST TIMES. IF I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND RESULT IN A FATALITY OR INJURIES. I DID NOT KNOW I COULD REPORT SUCH PROBLEMS THAT'S WHY I AM DOING IT NOW INSTEAD OF WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. *TR

IM HAVING PLOBLEMS WITH MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK AND MOST OF THE TIME I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST IM GOING DO TO THIS PLOBLEM.I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE HAVING THESE PLOBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE.

SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. 3/29/10: INDICATED 0MPH WHILE CAR WAS MOVING. 3/30/10: INDICATED 30MPH WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AND AN ESTIMATED 30MPH OVER ACTUAL SPEED. 4/2/10: DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT SPEED GAGE CLUSTER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ORDERED REPLACEMENT. ESTIMATED COST (PARTS+LABOR) = $550.

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONING, MOSST TIMES READS 100-110 MPH STANDING STILL OR WHILE MOVING
