2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOING HAYWIRE, SPEEDOMETER SAYING YOU ARE GOING 80MPH WHILE YOU ARE NOT EVEN MOVING. YOU HAVE TO GUESS ON HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STARTED FUNCTIONING ERRATICALLY - WOULD GO FROM EMPTY TO FULL OR JUST START GOING BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY FLOATING AROUND. EVENTUALLY IT JUST STAYED ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN I HAD JUST FILLED UP. FROM THE TIME THE PROBLEM STARTED TILL IT STOPPED WORKING WAS ONLY A MATTER OF WEEKS. NOW MY OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ALSO. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN DEC. 2009 I FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY REGISTERED EMPTY THE FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED IT WILL COST $558.00 TO REPAIR. IN FEBRUARY THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 120 MPH WHILE SITTING STILL FOR A STOP SIGN NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I CONTACTED GEN MOTORS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN AND WAS ASKED TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT ED BOZART CHEVORLET. BY A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS THEY CONTACTED DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE FOR CHEVY AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP US. THE TOTAL COST TO FIX OUR CAR IS $1,258.00. WE WERE TOLD TO FIX THE CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IF THEY DECIDED TO RECALL THE TRAILBLAZER WE MIGHT BE REIMBURSED. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE COMPUTER CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. *TR

FAN MOTOR ONLY WORKS ON 1-4 SETTINGS, AFTER A FEW WEEKS NO SETTING WORKS. INSPECTING FAN BLOWER FOUND BURNT WIRES LEADING TO THE RESISTOR, EXTERNAL BEFORE HARNESS. NEW RESISTOR AND HARNESS ARE NEEDED TO REMEDY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO TOWN ON I-10 WHEN I RAN OUT OF GAS AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. MY GAS GAUGE DIDN'T REGISTER EMPTY. I TOOK MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER TO GATEWAY CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND WOULD COST ME $525.00 TO REPLACE. I NOW PERSONALLY KNOW OF 3 OTHER CHEVYS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, 2 TRAILBLAZERS AND 1 ENVOY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'M SEEING, I'M FAR FROM BEING ONE OF FEW THIS IS HAPPENING TO. FROM THE QUESTIONS I SEE BELOW I WONDER IF PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR HARMED BEFORE ANYONE TAKES A LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM? *TR

SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY QUIT. AND WILL NOT READ OVER 25 MPH. LUCKILY CRUISE WAS SET SO I KNOW MY SPEED. ODOMETER STILL COUNTS CORRECTLY. ESTIMATES FOR REPLACEMENT OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE %500 AND UP. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH OVER 1000 COMPLAINTS. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER...SPEED/GAS/OIL/BASICALLY ALL GAUGES ARE MESSED UP...I SEE ONLINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AS TO THIS ISSUE...THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY KIDS AND MYSELF...IF I CAN'T DEPEND ON MY GAUGES THEN WHAT DO I DO... *TR

STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP UPON LEAVING THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE LEVEL FINALLY WENT UP TO FULL. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING , VERY ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. WILL WORK FOR FEW MINUTES AT A TIME. *TR

FUEL LEVEL READS INCORRECT AS WELL AS OIL LEVEL. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THE FUEL SENSOR AND OIL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS TO IMPROPER READINGS AND CARS STALLING. *TR
