2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY PROVIDE AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE EXHIBITING SPORADIC STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK FULL AND IT THEN THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON. I AM HAVING TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILES SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE FUEL NEEDLE KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN, NOT READING ACCURATELY. NOW EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT I PUT GAS IN THIS HAPPENS. VERY FRUSTRATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN I WANT TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN AND YOU ARE NOT SURE WHEN YOU'LL SEE THE NEXT GAS STATION. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS? *JS *KB

THE FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE.....IS THERE A RECALL? *TR

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK COMPLETELY AND THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERED "EMPTY." THE TRUCK HAS ALSO STALLED A FEW TIMES IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS BACKING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED. I HAD TO QUICKLY RE-START IT TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SINCE MY FUEL GAGE SENSOR BROKE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEEDLE GO FROM "FULL" TO "EMPTY" ALL WITHIN A MINUTE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND HAVE FOUND THAT CHEVROLET USED A CHEAPER FUEL SENSOR MANUFACTURER (DELCO) IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE FUEL SENSOR. PLEASE ADVISE CHEVROLET TO RECALL THIS FAULTY PART AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY TRAILBLAZER'S GAS GAUGE HAS READ EMPTY FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW, THE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. IT HAS CAUSED BREAKDOWNS WHILE DRIVING. AFTER READING OTHER POSTS, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT IS ALWAYS ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP. I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT GM WOULD PAY FOR HALF ONLY IF IT HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM BUT STILL NO RECALL. *TR

HI UNION BOILERMAKER, NEW 2005 CHEVY, 2 COMPUTERS GM UNDERSIZED THANKS GM ,, PAID 558.00 TO FIX FUEL GAUGE, SENSOR SHOT... *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT READING RIGHT. RAN OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY STREETS, AT INTERSECTIONS, AND ON HIGHWAY. HAVE CHILDREN AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

LIKE MANY PEOPLE MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS DURING A COLD SNAP AND ALL OF THE GAUGES GOT STUCK ON THE DOWN OR OFF POSITION. AFTER SOME TIME SOME OF THE GAUGES (IE. SPEEDOMETER ,TACHOMETER, AND OIL PRESSURE ) STARTING WORKING AGAIN HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE READINGS WERE INACCURATE. AFTER SOME TIME ELAPSED (THIS YEAR - 2012) THE TACHOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS HAS BECOME AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION BECAUSE NO VITAL INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDE TO THE DRIVER AND THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

TODAY, 02/28/2012, I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WAS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND FULL AFTER ADDING 19 GALLONS OF GAS TO THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AND AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR TRAILBLAZERS. I AM HOPING THERE WILL BE A RECALL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR
