2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY GAS GAUGE STOP WORKING IN MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER, GAS LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN FILLING UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND IT HAS MANY PROBLEMS. BUT THE MOST DANGEROUS, AT THIS POINT, IS THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. SOMETIMES, IT WON'T GET OFF OF ZERO. OTHER TIMES, IT SHOWS THAT I AM GOING OVER 120 MPH, WHEN IN FACT, I AM GOING WITH FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AT OTHER TIMES, IT SHOWS EITHER 15 TO 20 MILES ABOVE OR BELOW THE SPEED I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING. THERE IS NO COMMON DENOMINATOR AS TO WHEN OR IF THE PROBLEM STARTS OR STOPS. IT IS VERY, VERY RANDOM. THE COST TO FIX WILL BE OVER $450.00. THERE ARE MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM COULD BE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST, OR SLOW, THEY ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 WAS ACTING UP AND THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AND IT IS AMAZING TO ME HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA AND HIS SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND HIS GAS GAUGE. WHY IS THIS CONTINUING WITH CHEVROLET...SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE. OH...AND BY THE WAY I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED JUST 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF A WINDING NOISE AND THEN A YEAR LATER IT ACTS UP...HMMM...DID THEY REALLY REPLACE IT?

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AND OBSERVED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY OR A READING LEVEL CLOSE TO EMPTY. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION, THE FAILURE FLUCTUATED AT ANY GIVEN SPEED BEING TRAVELED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,425.

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER ARE BOTH BROKEN. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY THREE LANE HIGHWAY. MY SPEEDOMETER DID NOT BECOME CLEAR UNTIL I FOUND MYSELF AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERING 30 MPH. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT 4X4 HAS A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL THAT RUNS THE AC/HEAT FAN. CHEVY ACKNOWLEGED THERE IS AN ISSUE AND HAVE CREATED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. BUT SAY IT IS UP TO THE CAR OWNERS TO PAY FOR THE FIX. THIS HAS CAUSED MY ELECTRICAL WIRES TO MELT TOGETHER AND I CAN SMELL THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE ON THE HEAT FOR MORE THAN 10 MIN. I AM AFRAID MY CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR QUIT WORKING . GAS GAUGE LIGHT ALWAYS ON AND SHOWING EMPTY AND ALWAYS BEEPING. NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. DOES THE SAME THING WHEN TANK IS FULL. I SPEND ALOT OF MONEY IN FUEL BECAUSE IT'S AGGRAVATING TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE CONSTANTLY. AFRAID I COULD GET STRANDED OR BE HIT IF I RUN OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT LS AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MY WIFE WHEN SHE IS DRIVING BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. I AM SCARED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND SHE COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LEVEL SENSOR GOING OUT AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PART. *TR

2005 TRAIL BLAZER PEDAL SEEMED TO STICK*CW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE CONSUMER DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR FAILED. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT'S WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED. IN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AFTER GETTING GAS THE GAS SENSOR LIGHT AND SOUND ALERT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE IS MARKETED AND USED AS A FAMILY CAR, WHICH IS WHAT MY WIFE AND I USE IT FOR. IT IS VERY RISKY TO TRY TO GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL YOU ARE USING, NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF FUEL TODAY. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN RISKY SITUATIONS LIKE ON THE INTERSTATE. AS A CONSUMER I WISH YOU WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION, AND IF IT IS AS WIDESPREAD AS I AM HEARING, ENCOURAGE THE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *TR
