2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER USED IN JUNE OF 2007 WITH 34,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE LICENSE PLATE FIXED 3 TIMES FOR THE GLUE MELTING AND RUNNING DOWN THE TAILGATE. THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN RAN FOR EXTENDED TRIPS DOESN'T BLOW LIKE IT SHOULD, THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT TWICE. THE WHOLE LIGHT FLICKERING THING IS ANNOYING AND PROBABLY COULD BE AVOIDED WITH A STRONGER ALTERNATOR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR SECONDARY AIR INJECTION MALFUNCTION CONVENIENTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, ITS ALL DUE TO A CRAPPY CHECK VALVE THAT IS MADE WITH A METAL THAT CORRODES EASILY CAUSING IT TO STICK. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS HAPPEN BUT THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO GO BROKE FIXING THEIR MISTAKES. OR JUST DO SOME QUALITY CONTROL ON VEHICLES BEFORE THEY ARE MASSED PRODUCED. *TR

MY TRAILBLAZER HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT IT WILL SUDDENLY LURCH AHEAD OR SURGE AHEAD. IT WILL SOMETIMES DO IT WHILE I AM DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE ME TO PROCEED INTO A MAIN INTERSECTION. THE LOCAL DEALER SHOWED ME A GM NOTICE THAT STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF A PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

THE HEADLAMPS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM AND BRIGHTEN AS YOU DRIVE. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. CHEVY HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE TRAILBLAZER AND NOT REPAIRABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HEADLIGHTS FLASHING AFTER DARK. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH AROUND DUSK OR AFTER DARK AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM. SHE STATES THAT PEOPLE IN TRAFFIC BELIEVE SHE IS DOING THIS ON PURPOSE AND SHE IS NOT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON AUTOMATIC AND THEN THEY STARTED TO GO DIM. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE FADING IN AND OUT AS WELL. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 2006. THERE WAS ALOT OF HISSING FROM THE SPEAKERS, WHICH THEY REPLACED BUT IT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I ALREADY FIXED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND NOW I NOTICE THE LIGHTS GO DIM AND BRIGHT AND IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. IT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. EVERYTIME I BRING IT IN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN SO NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AND IT'S COLD IN WISCONSIN SO IF IT EVER DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND THE LIGHTS WILL DIM AND THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT GM HAS NO ANSWER FOR WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE PEOPLE THAT WILL PULL OVER FOR ME BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE SUV 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY FLICKERING CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO REACT AS IF I'M AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE OPENING THE REAR HATCH OF OUR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED IN TO A MILLION PIECES. THE LOUD EXPLOSION SCARED MY WIFE AS IF SOMEONE HAD SHOT THE GLASS OUT. THERE WAS NO EXCESSIVE FORCE USED, THE WEATHER WAS COLD ~34 F, THERE WAS NO SNOW OR ICE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 30MPH, IF TAKE FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR, HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM TO ALMOST NO LIGHT AS WILL THE DASH LIGHTS, ON OFF, ON OFF, WHEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, LIGHTS WILL GO ON NORMALLY WITH SAME BRIGHTNESS. DOME LIGHT BUTTON TO LEFT OF STEERING WHEEL WILL WORK ONCE EVERY 50 TRIES, LIGHTS ON LEFT SIDE OF RADIO DO NOT WORK, CD PLAYER WILL NOT TAKE CDS. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT, IT HAS BEEN TO A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW, THEY HAVE STATED THAT EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY AND THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 0 (NO MATTER HOW FAST I'M GOING) WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY VEHICLES, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT IN THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

FUEL GAGE HAS FAILED AND DOES NOT WORK... FAILED AT 38000 MILES... PURCHASED CAR DECEMBER 2005 WITH 13,500 MILES FROM DEALER...CURRENT OWNERSHIP TWO YEARS... LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TANK FILLED...GAGE WILL SOMETIMES VARY BETWEEN "E" AND 3/4 FULL... MOST OF THE TIME STAYING ON "E", ...ABSOLUTELY CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN CAR FROM THE GAGE. MORE THAN ONE PERSON DRIVES THE CAR AND IT IS GOING TO LEAVE SOMEONE FROM MY FAMILY STRANDED ON THE ROAD AT SOME POINT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $350 AND $500 TO REPAIR, THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED...THAT GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE DROPPED TO REPLACE ... HOWEVER "JUST KEEP DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP FAILS AND REPLACE THE PUMP AND THE SENDING UNIT ASSEMBLY AT THAT TIME, SAVING THE EXTRA COST..." "KEEP TRACK OF YOUR MILEAGE"...WHICH VARIES BETWEEN CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING... NOT EXACTKY WHAT I WANT TO HEAR!!! *CN
