2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE DATE, MILEAGE AND MPH WERE EITHER ESTIMATED OR JUST UT IN SINCE OPTIONS DID NOT INCLUDE "UNKNOWN". WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. ONLY THE LOWBEAMS TURN OFF, BUT WHEN DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS IT IS DANGEROUS BUT NECESSARY (ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAYS). I CALLED GM AND THEY PRETTY MUCH CLAIMED THAT NO ONE HAD EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. BUT I DID RESEARCH AND IT HAPPENS A LOT. *TR

THE VEHICLE PRESENTED WITH ERROR ON READING THE SPEED ONE IS TRAVELING AT. FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND NOT READING GAS CORRECTLY. *TR

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT: NO BLOWER ON DEFROST, AIR, HEAT. BRAKE LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. ONLY 32,262 MILES. $240.34 TO REPLACE. WILL I BE REIMBURSED SINCE THIS IS A RECALL? *TR

MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THE CAR USED FOR ME FOR CHRISTMAS 2013. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY WHEN I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 0 IT REMAINED THAT WAY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I STARTED IT THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMED FINE BUT AFTER A 1/2 MILE I NOTICED I SPED UP AND SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING DOWN UNTIL IT FINALLY WENT TO 0. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOESN'T WORK. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT A LOT OF OTHER CONSUMERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SOME WITH MUCH LESS MILEAGE. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING IN MY CAR AN I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST THE CAR IS TRAVELING, DONE A RESEARCH ONLINE AN THERE ARE THOUSAND PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBABLY AS MINE WITH THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR AS I HAVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CAUSE CHEVROLET WANT $500 TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER AN THAT IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

THE WIRING CONNECTING THE BLOWER MOTOR TO THE RESISTOR UNDER THE GLOVE BOX HAS MELTED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO RESULTING IN SMOKE AND TOXIC FUMES FROM BURNING WIRES WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION WITH A/C OPERATING ON HIGH. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF STOPPED ANY FURTHER DAMAGE, I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND APPEARS AS THOUGH ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITHOUT GM ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND DOING ANY THING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE, ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS FILED WITH CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. *TR

MY CAR WAS STARTING FINE BEFORE THIS. I LEFT WORK WENT OUT TO MY CAR TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN ELECTRICAL NOISES EVEN AFTER I TOOK KEY OUT. GOT A JUMP (IT WAS QUICK) THE GAUGE WAS MOVING SLIGHTLY. GOT TO WHERE I NEEDED TO BE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY IT WOULD NOT START. JUMPED IT AGAIN GOT HOME AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN IGNITION AND THE LIGHTS FLASHED INSIDE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE ALL NIGHT! *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 32,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER. OVER THE FEW YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN FACED WITH A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES. MY FIRST PROBLEM BECAME THE AC LINES. THEY BEGAN TO LEAK DUE TO RUST, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 7 YEAR, 70,000 MILE WARRANTY. NEXT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BEGAN TO LEAK. THE COST WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE DEALER MANAGED TO BREAK THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE MANIFOLD TO THE ENGINE. THE BREAKAGE WAS NOT COVERED, AND THEREFORE, I HAD TO PAY. FOLLOWING THESE TWO ISSUES, I NOTICED RUST ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE. IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAD TO FIX THE FOLLOWING ITEMS DUE TO THE RUST: THE POWER STEERING COIL, REAR END, TRANSMISSION, FUEL PUMP, POWER STEERING LINES, POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK AND PINION, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, AND A FUEL GAGE RECALL FROM GM. IN ADDITION, I AVOID USING LOW 4-WHEEL DRIVE, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN THAT GEARING. *TR

MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2006, BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT MY FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. IT SHOWED EMPTY, AND, THEN 1/4 TANK. THE REAR WIPER SWEEPS WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH OTHER CONTROLS ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS IN GM VEHICLES SO I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE $500+ LAYING AROUND TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR
