2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES STARTED WHINING LOUDLY, THE LIGHTS FLICKER & THE HEATER TURNS ITSELF ON. A REPAIR SHOP SAID IT MAY NEED A NEW ALTERNATOR. OF COURSE, CHEVY ONLY PUT A 3 YEAR WARRANTY ON IT & THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING 1 MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT, AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS STRANGE SOUND LATELY WHEN I START IT UP AND IT GETS LOUDER AS YOU DRIVE IT. MY FATHER SAID THAT IT IS THE BEARINGS AND THE ALTERNATOR, SO I DECIDED TO LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND SAW MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON A SITE, AND WAS DIRECTED BY MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT HAPPY, AND I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE WARRANTY IS CONVENIENTLY UP JUST AS THIS IS HAPPENING. I WANT THIS CORRECT, AND SOMEONE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PUMP AND THE ELECTRICAL, WELL THEN THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FIX IT FOR FREE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHT DIM/BRIGHTEN ON THEIR OWN. HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT GM WILL DO FOR ME, THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEAL THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND I HAVE SEVERAL WORK ORDERS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT. SO NOW, WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT, PEOPLE THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. I HAVE EVEN GONE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HEAR ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH SOME TYPE OF PROGRAMMING, BUT GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS IS BECOMING DANGEROUS. *TR

HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED (A WHOLE OTHER SICK STORY:( ). WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK BACK, SECOND DAY ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO CLIMB EVEN THOUGH I WAS STAYING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I TWENT AROUND TO THE 100S. WHEN I GOT HOME IT SPUN STRAIGHT DOWN NOT STOPPING AT THE ZERO LIKE IT NORMALLY DID. TOOK IT BACK TO MECHANIC AT LEAST TWICE MAYBE 3 TIMES, HE DID SOMETHING THAT FIXED IT FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN IT WOULD MESS UP AGAIN. AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, IT IS PARKED BUT SAYING IT'S AT 100+ MPH. READING OTHER PEOPLES SAME PROBLEM, IT WILL COST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO PAY THE DEALER TO FIX. I HAVE EVEN GOTTEN A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE OF THIS (MY FIRST IN 20 YEARS!)!!! *TR

I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. AFTER FILLING MY TANK, WHEN I STARTED MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. EVENTUALLY, THE NEEDLE DID MOVE TO WHERE I THINK IT WAS MAYBE AN ACCURATE READING. HOW ABOUT THE LUNGING FORWARD THE VEHICLE DOES WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHICH CAUSES A DANGER TO ANYONE POSSIBLE WALKING IN THE AREA. ALSO, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT CHEVROLET'S FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAVE I BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH ANY VEHICLE AS I AM WITH THIS ONE. OH YEAH AND I AM ALSO LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES ON IT WHICH I DON'T FEEL WARRANTS THESE MAJOR ISSUES. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT. CURRENTLY THE ISSUE I AM DEALING WITH IS THE SPEEDOMETER. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY SPEEDOMETER WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 30 MPH WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND PAST 120 MPH AND STUCK. FOLLOWING THAT, EVERY TIME I STARTED MY CAR, IT WOULD DECREASE 10 MPH UNTIL IT WENT BACK TO 0 MPH. IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE AND NOW I AM HAVING A PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE NEEDLE SPUN ALL THE WAY AROUND AND DOES NOT MOVE WHEN I AM DRIVING. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND FEEL THAT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, IT IS A GUESSING GAME. *TR

SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALL GIVING INACCURATE READINGS! I DON'T KNOW ANY CAR, NO MATTER WHAT YEAR OR MAKE WHICH HAS THESE PROBLEMS! ONLY GM! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU'RE GOING. IMPEDING FLOW OF TRAFFIC. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBAZER. THE DASH AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM WHILE NIGHT DRIVING NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: SHORTLY AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE ON 8/11/2008 MY FUEL GAUGE BEGAN SWINGING BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE THE "EMPTY FUEL LIGHT" STAYS ON AND THE GAUGE READS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS FULL. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT GM IS AWARE OF IT BUT THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO DO A RECALL. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO, I THOUGHT THE GAS GAUGE WAS EMPTY UPON PURCHASE, AS IT WAS A USED CAR, BUT NO IT IS THE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT EVERYBODY KEEPS MENTIONING. I FILL THE VEHICLE, AND IT ONLY SHOWS A HALF TANK. THEN IT WILL GO TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. AS SOMEONE WHO TRAVELS A LOT, AND FOR LONG DISTANCES, THIS IS A HORRIBLE DEFECT. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS BECOME LOUD, WHICH MEANS ANOTHER EXPENSE ON A 2005 WHICH SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. *TR
