2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

NO HORN ON VEHICLE. DEALER ATTEMPTED 5 TIMES TO REPAIR BUT HORN CONTINUES NOT TO WORK. *NM

BRAKES SQUEAL ON NORMAL BRAKING. BACK TIRES SPIN ON DRY ROAD AND SQUEAL LIKE SOMEONE IS "PEELING OUT". BRAKES SEEM TO RIDE LOW TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN HAVING TO STOP QUICKLY. BESIDES THAT, THEY MAKE THE TRUCK KEEP ON ROLLING EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED . IT'S LIKE THE COMPUTER IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM DETECTS NOTHING WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP, I'VE HAD SOME VERY NEAR MISSES AS FAR AS ACCIDENTS ARE CONCERNED. I JUST PAID THIS MONSTER OFF NOW EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG. *JB

CRUISE CONTROL SHUT DOWN. IT WAS SET AT 70 MPH. VEHICLE WAS GOING UPHILL AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD DIED. THE SPEED DROP WAS SUDDEN AND DRASTIC, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES FOLLOWING WHEN IT OCCURRED. IT WOULD NOT RESUME NOR RESET BY TURNING CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH OFF AND ON. VEHICLE DID ACCELERATE USING FOOT PEDAL. STARTED VEHICLE UP NEXT DAY TO TAKE IT TO DEALER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED FINE. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD HE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE HAPPENING. *NM

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT FUNNY AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP. IT DID THIS ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO OUR TOWN AND THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING. WE BARELY MADE IT TO OUR HOUSE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. WE WENT TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT OVER HEATED LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE HOUSE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR DETERIORATED AND SENT ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAD PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING. UPON INSPECTION MECHANIC DETERMINED THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *KB THE RACK AND PINION WERE REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING HUMMING NOISES AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS AGAIN WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE NOISE RETURNED AND THIS TIME THE TECHNICIAN THOUGH IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A CAR MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER ( GET DIM AND COME BACK ON). THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT I WAS FLICKING ON MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND OFF AT HIM AND SLAMS ON THE BRAKE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT CHEVY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE.*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE LOADING LUGGAGE INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, BOTH STRUTS ON THE TAILGATE FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE ORDERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT AN 05 TRAILBLAZER EXT I HAVE HAD IT 9 MONTHS , I WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER NOTHING, IT WAS ALSO STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION, DEALERSHIP SAID I HAD A BAD BATTERY, I HAD IT CHECKED THROUGH AUTO ZONE WAS FINE , HAD IT TOWED THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER GOT IT OUT OF PARK AND WAS ABLE TO START IT. THE DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED TO SAY IT WAS THE BATTERY SO THEY CHANGED IT. I PICKED IT UP BROUGHT IT HOME AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY LIKE BEFORE. THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT STUCK IN PARK AGAIN, THEY NOW HAVE SAID THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD , WHICH WOULD CAUSE IT NOT TO START AND BE STUCK IN PARK, SO I GUESS WE WILL SEE IF IT IS FIXED OR IF IT WILL GO BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ONE WEEK. *JB
