2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. RPM ODOMETER DOESN'T WORK, SPEED RANGES FROM 80-OFF THE CHARTS, GAS GAUGE NOT ACCURATE. APPARENTLY BIG PROBLEM W/OVER 300 COMPLAINTS YET NO RECALL. FIRESTONE JUST QUOTED ME $700 FOR A REMOVE AND REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGE. $600 FOR THE GAUGE ITSELF. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. *TR

1 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NOT WORKING 2. 70% OF THE TIME 3.BY GM NOTHING 2005 TRAILBLAZER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL WORK FINE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SAYS WE ARE TRAVELING 0 MILES PER HOUR OR THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS WE ARE GOING SLOWER THAN OUR ACTUAL SPEED. *TR TODAY I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND NOW MY FUEL GAGE SAYS IT IS ON E AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON.

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED,. THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE. *JS

MY FUEL SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS FIXED BUT I DON'T HAVE THE $1100.00 TO PAY FOR IT. *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILS. AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING GAS TANK, GAUGE STILL SHOWS BELOW EMPTY AND LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE - ONCE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS FORTUNATE TO COAST THRU THE INTERSECTION AND MAKE IT TO THE SIDE. I NOW TRACK MY GAS USAGE VIA MILEAGE BUT THIS IS NOT ACCURATE AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO STOP AND PUT GAS IN EVERY OTHER DAY FOR FEAR OF BREAKING DOWN AGAIN WITH MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. I HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT ALSO OWN 2005 TRAILBLAZERS AND THEY ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS DISCUSSING THIS AN I AM SURPRISED CHEVROLET HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IF THEY HAVE, I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESOLVE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

1) FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWS AN EMPTY READING DESPITE JUST BEING FILLED. AFTER DRIVING FOR 40-50 MILES GAUGE WILL SHOW ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN GO BACK TO EMPTY. WHEN PROBLEM FIRST STARTED THE GAUGE WAS ALL OVER THE DIAL. 2) SPEEDOMETER ERRATICALLY WILL SHOW A SPEED AT A GREATER SPEED THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING. RECENTLY SHOWED GOING 110MPH DESPITE TRAVELING ALONG WITH TRAFFIC FLOW OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED A LEVEL OF EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT WAS FRACTURED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP10001 (FUEL TANK FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM) THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING WHICH RESULTED IN RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. SHOWS THAT THERE IS FUEL WHEN IT IS EMPTY AND APPEARS TO SHOW EMPTY AT RANDOM TIMES AS IT'S SHOWING ME EMPTY WHEN I JUST FILLED UP. *TR
