2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY, WHEN I FILL IT UP IT WILL READ EMPTY. AFTER ABOUT SEVERAL HOURS THE GAUGE WILL START TO GO UP. SPOKE TO CHEV. DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT TIME HAS PASSED FOR THEM TO FIX AT ON CHARGE TO ME. I ONLY HAVE 86968 MILES ON IT THIS SHOULD BE CHANGED TO COVER MORE TIME

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS GO OUT COMPLETELY. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK AND ARE THE ONLY OPTION FOR GETTING HOME. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE WERE TRAVELING AWAY FROM HOME. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND REALIZED THAT WE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FROM LOOKING ONLINE - THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION. SHOP CAN'T HELP UNLESS THEY ARE DOING IT AT THE TIME.

THE GAUGE CLUSTER, SPEAKERS AND OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS STOP WORKING AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE GAUGES EITHER REGISTER COMPLETELY MAXED OUT, MINIMUM OR SOMEWHERE OBVIOUSLY WRONG. EXAMPLE FUEL GAUGE WAY PAST FULL, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READING 0, CHARGE GAUGE MAXED OUT TACHOMETER COMPLETELY OFF THE SCALE AND SPEEDOMETER INOPERABLE. REAR SPEAKERS WORK SOMETIMES AND BULBS IN BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. THE GAUGES ARE OF MOST CONCERN AS THE TRUE VALUES OF FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE, BATTERY VOLTAGE AND ENGINE TEMP ARE RARELY ACCURATE (OR EVEN CLOSE). THE SPEED WILL NOT OPERATE AT TIMES AND OCCASIONALLY IF THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED THE SPEEDOMETER WILL CORRECT ITSELF. ALL THESE CONDITIONS CREATE SAFETY CONCERNS ON SOME LEVEL FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A LESS THAN DESIRABLE LOCATION, DRIVING AT INCORRECT SPEEDS, OVERHEATING ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING OR ENGINE PROBLEMS. LOSING A TAIL LIGHT NOT ONLY CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR TRAFFIC BUT CREATES ISSUES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL. THESE CONDITIONS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, DRIVING, PARKED OR IDLING BUT THE KEY MUST BE ON TO POWER THE ACCESSORIES. TYPE OF DRIVING (CITY, HIGHWAY, ETC,) MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
