2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM AND FLICKER. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS POSSIBLY INVOLVED WITH RECALL # 06V417000. I HAVE CALLED GM, THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, AND THE TOLL FREE # LISTED ON THE RECALL FORM AND CANNOT GET ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS MATTER. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER FROM GM. WHEN I BECAME AWARE OF THIS RECALL, I CALLED GM AND THEY HAD NO RECORD OF MY VEHICLE HAVING LEATHER INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEATS WERE INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM. AFTER READING THE RECALL NOTICE, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY CONTINENTAL TIRES ARE WORN AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS WITHOUT EXCESSIVE WEAR OR EXTREME CONDITIONS. I DRIVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM SOON TO KEEP MY FAMILY AND MYSELF SAFE. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH THE SAME CONTINENTAL TIRES ON THE SAME VEHICLE. SHE HAS HAD TO REPLACE HER TIRES AND I THINK HER VEHICLE IS A 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. A FEW WEEKS AGO, ONE TIRE SIMPLY SHREDDED TO PIECES AS SHE DROVE ALONG ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I NOTICED THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT IN ORLANDO, FL WITH A GMC ENVOY IN WHICH A BLOWN TIRE WAS REPORTED AS THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE FLIPPED AND TRAPPED A TEENAGER INSIDE. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE TIRES AND WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE QUALITY BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE ENDANGERED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE TIRES ARE ON THE GMC BUT SINCE THEY ARE SIMILAR VEHICLES, I ASSUME THE TIRES ARE PROBABLY SIMILAR. *TR

LATE EVENING, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN A SNOW STORM AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE POWER DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. I COULD NOT GO OVER 10 MPH AND BARELY MADE IT UP THE OFF RAMP TO BE STRANDED 3 1/2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. I SPENT A TOTAL OF $700 TO GET THE ALTERNATOR AND I-PULLEY REPLACED. THE OLD PART WAS NOT RETURNED OR I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $50. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER PURCHASED WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT IN 2006. DECEMBER 07 WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT, LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER. DEALER SAID WAS NECESSARY TO RESET COMPUTER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER COMPUTER RESET, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER (PULLED CODE FOR AIR CHECK VALVE), RESET THE LIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER WHERE IT PULLED ANOTHER CODE... AFTER THE THIRD TIME, THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND WERE TOLD TO RESET THE COMPUTER BACK TO ORIGINAL SETTING AND EITHER THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH OR THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY NORMAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITHIN THREE DAYS, THE LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT ONCE THEY DO FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT GIVE AN ESTIMATED DATE AS TO WHEN THAT WOULD BE! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I THINK A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE STARTED!! *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I BOUGHT IT WITH 24,000 MILES. THE FIRST THING WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TESTS WOULD SHOW NOTHING. THEN THE WHINING STARTED. THIS WAS FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. NEXT THE FLICKERING LIGHTS. IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT (OR THAT IS WHEN I NOTICE THEM). WHEN THE FLICKERING STARTED THE LUNGING STARTED. THIS IS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP OR GOING SLOW MY CAR SEEMS TO JUMP FORWARD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR WHEN THEY CHECKED THESE PROBLEMS OUT. NEXT WHEN MAKING U-TURNS MY CAR WOULD JUST DIE. SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC I WOULD HAVE TO THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. AGAIN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NOTHING. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STARTED TO JUMP OR FAIL TO WORK ALTOGETHER. AND MOST RECENTLY THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND AND MY CAR WAS RUNNING AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO DIE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN $500.00 WORTH OF TEST TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR AT 60,000 MILES WAS FIRING INCORRECTLY IN THE 1ST CYLINDER. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $4,000.00. *TR
