2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

DRIVER SIDE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT WORK THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AT ALL! OUT OF THE BLUE THIS STOPPED WORKING. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE 2006-2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED NOT THE 2005! REALLY, THIS CAR IS "CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE WHICH USES SALT TO CLEAR THE ROADS" (DIRECT QUOTE FROM GENERAL MOTORS AND ISUZU RECALL 258,000 SUVS, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, AUGUST 19, 2012) SINCE 12/2005 WHICH IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FIRE "YET" BUT I HAVE THE "EXACT" PROBLEM WHICH AROSE BEFORE THESE VEHICLES DID CATCH FIRE, MINE IS NOT RECALLED? NOT ONLY WAS THE TRANSMISSION RECALLED IN 2008, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE "BLOWER MOTOR" NOT WORKING WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEAT. YOU COULD ONLY TURN ON THE HEAT TO NO. 4. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE ON 1/10/06, 1/30/06, 2/7/06 AND 2/17/06 WHICH WAS NOT EVEN 2 MO. AFTER PURCHASING SAID VEHICLE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IN 11/06 THE "FUEL PUMP MODULE" WAS REPLACED AND COVERED "ONLY" BECAUSE I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY THE $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE, BECAUSE I HAD GAS BUT IT WAS NOT REGISTERING. AGAIN, I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN CALLING GM ON 7/24/13 ABOUT THE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL, I NOW FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" FOR THE "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR". THIS IS COVERED UNTIL 7/24/14, PER GM (866-694-6546), UNLESS YOU HAVE MORE THAN 120,000 SOMETHING MILES. WAS NOT SURE OF THE MILEAGE EXACTLY SINCE MINE IS BELOW THAT FIGURE. THE WINDOW SWITCH IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN "ALL YEARS" OF THIS VEHICLE. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST REV UP AND WANT TO TAKE OFF. I GUESS THIS ISN'T A "BIG DEAL" EITHER. YOU CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE RADIO TO DISTRACT YOU WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS GOING ON BECAUSE THE RADIO ONLY COMES OUT OF "ONE" SPEAKER! GO FIGURE, IT IS GM! *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY SHOW THE RIGHT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE CAR. FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TANK IS FULL. FUEL GAUGE SHOWS FULL TANK WHEN EMPTY. THIS HAS CAUSED TWO CASES O CAR BREAKING DOWN AND BEING STRANDED. ONE INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED CAR TO BE REAR ENDED ON BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

MY 05 TRAILBLAZER LS STALLED OUT AT INTERSECTION MILE FROM MY HOME. I'M GETTING FALSE READING FROM MY FUEL GAUGE. *TR

IN THE BEGINNING THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO HIGHEST SPEED IMMEDIATELY UPON CRANKING VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MONTHS OR QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE GAS GAGE QUIT WORKING A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT. THEN AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER ALL OTHER GAUGES QUIT WORKING EXCEPT RPM GAGE. THAT IS ONLY FUNCTIONING GAGE ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SAYS ITS EMPTY BUT I HAVE GAS. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. *TR

I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2011. I STOPPED AFTER GETTING PAID ON A FRIDAY TO FILL UP MY TANK AND WHEN I GO TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE THE GAUGE GOES TO FULL AND JUST DROPS ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY. SINCE THAN I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE STREETS DOZENS OF TIME. I TRIED USING MY TRIP BUT MY MPH AREN'T ALWAYS ACCURATE I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY GALLONS MY TANK HOLDS. BEING STRANDED FOR AWHILE WITH MY CHILDREN IS REALLY TOUGH. I CAN'T JUST AFFORD TO PAY OVER $500 TO HAVE MY PROBLEM FIXED JUST BECAUSE GM WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS SPORADICALLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *TR

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. SHOWS AS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AS YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO FILL UP TO COUNT THE MILES. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST OF GETTING IT FIX. BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY AT ALL? IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY AT ALL. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHOWS GAUGE LIGHT AS EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN MIDDLE OFF ROAD ON EARLY MORNING TRAFFIC. NOW WE HAVE TO ESTIMATE MILEAGE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT LEFT WITHOUT GAS, VERY FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ODOMETER AND FUEL LEVEL GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE CLUSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TR
