2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS INTERMITTENT FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW NO LONGER FUNCTIONS (FUSE IS FINE).

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND THE LAST 4 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEEDOMETER. SOMETIMES IT WORKS OTHERS IT WILL SHOW YOU ARE DOING 4 X THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WHAT A HUNK OF JUNK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING , WHICH I READ IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE 2005 MODELS ITS A PROBLEM BUT I AM DEALING WITH IT UNTIL I RUN OUT OF GAS LATE ON NIGHT WITH MY KIDS AND SOME TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO US! BUT THAT IS NOT THE MAJOR COMPLAINT NOW. ON 2 SEPERATE OCCASIONS MY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPS WORKING, EITHER I AM GOING ZERO OR I AM GOING 120 MILES A HOUR, WHAT A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR A PERSON WHO DOES A GREAT DEAL OF HIGHWAY TRAVELING. SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IT SEEM THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING BOTH OF THESE ISSUES I KNOW GM DOESNT PROBABLY SEE THEM AS A SAFTEY ISSUE BUT I DO. I TERRIFIED OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS I USUALLY TRAVELING ALONE OR WITH MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. BUT O WONT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE GAS BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY ALL OF THOSE SPEEDING TICKETS. *CN

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER LS. MY FUEL GUAGE IS READING INCURRECTLY, DESPITE FILLING MY TANK FULL WITH GAS THE DIAL GOES BACK TO EMPTY. THE DIAL ON THE GUAGE MOVES SOME TIMES BUT MOSTLY EITHER REMAINS ON EMPTY AND NEVERS READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHILE I HAD MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOT TO MENTION MY FRIEND HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER TRAILBLAZER AND GAVE THE WHOLE TRUCK BACK. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE FAMILY AND THE LAST THING I NEED TO HAPPEN IS TO RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TRUCK *CN

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SUV FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED CAUSING ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE OPERATION. GAS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN FILLED UP .LOOKED ON INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DIED FROM THIS SAFETY FAILURE?

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."

ON 3-18-2010 WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM A DEALERSHIP. UPON DRIVING IT HOME, WE NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS ALMOST TO EMPTY. WITHIN A FEW MILES THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND GOT GAS BUT THE TANK WAS NOT EMPTY. THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUES TO "BOUNCE" AROUND FROM FULL TO EMPTY MANY TIMES DURING REGULAR DRIVING. THIS OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND STOP LETTING CONSUMERS PAY $600-$1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE PART.

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS (68,000 MI) SPEEDOMETER GOES OUT OF CONTROL. TOLD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED REPLACING. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO FUEL GAUGE WAS MESSED UP AND HAD TO REPLACE TANK SENSOR. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE DIPS ALOT AS YOU DRIVE. RADIO DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS 100DEG, THEN ONLY ONE SPEAKER WORKS. GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER I FILLED UP. IGNITION IS VERY HARD TO TURN, YOU HAVE TO KEEP INSERTING AND REMOVING KEY UNTIL IT FREES ITSELF. *TR

BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C. SPEED 4 AND 5 BOTH QUIT AND NOW THE WHOLE THING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEALER I TAKE IT TO TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS BURNT OUT AND THE HARNESS (WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $200). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR MODEL. *TR
