2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

PLEASE CONSIDER A NEW REQUIREMENT FOR ALL NEW VEHICLES PRODUCED THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A REAR LIFTGATE/TAILGATE, SUCH AS CROSSOVERS, SUV'S AND MINI-VANS. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE GATE FROM THE INSIDE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A LATCH TO OPEN ALL GATES FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN CASE IT BECOMES THE ONLY WAY OUT IN CASE OF FIRE OR IF SINKING IN WATER. *TR

THE WINDOW AND LOCK CONTROLS ON THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE JUST STOPPED WORKING LEAVING MY WINDOW OPEN. IT IS NOT A FUSE. I BEGAN LOOKING FOR OTHER ISSUES ONLINE AND HAVE COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE ON EARLIER MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. I AM IN A COLD CLIMATE AS THE OTHER RECALL IS APPLICABLE TO. *TR

MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR ALL SEASON TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT CRACKING ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE ON THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE TREAD. TIRES WERE 2 YEARS OLD. SOME SUPERFICIAL CRACKS OTHERS WERE DEEP AND WIDE. 65,000 MILE WARRANTY, ONLY 25,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. SIZE P245/65R17 105T ORWL. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SAYS EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL YOU PUT IN ALSO ABS/BRAKE SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DURING SUMMER TIME AND MY FUEL GAGE WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY FOR NO REASON. I HAD JUST FILLED UP, SO I KNEW THERE WAS GAS IN THE TANK. IT HAS SINCE GIVEN ME RANDOM READINGS. IF I LET THE GAS LEVEL FALL BELOW 3/4 OF A TANK. IT WILL GO TO EMPTY EVEN IF I FILLED THE TANK. IT DOES WORK RANDOMLY SOMETIMES. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING ONE DAY, AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL SAY I'M GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ITS DROPS TO 0 MPH, OR SAY I'M DRIVING 30 MPH. MY SPEEDOMETER IS NEVER ACCURATE. I WENT HAD IT CHECKED WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALER SHIP AND THEY STATED I NEED A NEW SPEED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT WOULD COST ME $518.00 JUST FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL ON 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE GAS HAND DOES NOT WORK. $50+ DOLLARS IS PUT IN AT THE GAS STATION, THEN THE GAS LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD IT, BUT IT IS REALLY A SAFETY CONCERN. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON LINE RECENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAVE FAILED/STOPPED WORKING. THE GAUGE BEGAN TICKING WHILE BEING OPERATED; SHOWING INCREASED, BUT NOT ACCURATE SPEED. NOW THE GAUGE STAYS AT 180 MPH AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. *TR

GAS TANK IS BROKE AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. FROM WHAT MY MECHANIC SAID THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. WE HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR MILEAGE CONSTANTLY SO WE WON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR
