2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE TRAILBLAZER I BOUGHT SEEM TO BE MORE OF A HEADACHE THE A SPORT VEHICLE. I WISH I HAD LOOK BETTER AT ALL THE INFORMATION THE WAS OUT THERE. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE, OR RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. SORRY I BOUGHT IT. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMPED TO OVER 70MPH WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 30MPH. SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR IT HAS HAPPENED NUMBEROUS TIMES. NOW IT JUST SITS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO READ THE CORRECT FUEL LEVELS IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED TO COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. LUCKILY, TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR ENOUGH AND AN EXIT RAMP WAS ACCESSIBLE; HOWEVER, I HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STEERING TO THE SIDE AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE UNABLE TO BRAKE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE OFF RAMP FOR HOURS BY MYSELF IN 40 DEGREE WEATHER AND NO HEAT. MY GAS GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS (SEE MY FIRST COMPLAINT 10408603). I HAVE BEEN GUESSING AT AMOUNT OF FUEL BY MILES DRIVEN. I SHOULD HAVE HAD AT LEAST 30 MILES MORE OF GAS. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT A SAFE WAY TO GAUGE FUEL LEVEL. IT WILL COST $600 TO HAVE THE FUEL SYSTEM FIXED. BECAUSE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS, I FEEL THE COMPANY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

BLOWER FAN STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN IS CUT OFF. ONLY WAY TO CUT OFF FAN IS TO PULL OUT MODULE IN FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD.:( *TR

SPEEDOMETER JUMPS TO DIFFERENT SPEEDS . WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE TRUCK IT WILL STAY STUCK 110MPH, OR WHEN YOU RESTART THE CAR IT WILL JUST JUMP DOWN A LITTLE 100MPH. OTHER CHEVY MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT CHEVY TRAILBLAZER? WHY *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. READS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME EVEN AFTER A FILL-UP. GAUGE NEEDLE BOUNCES FROM EMPTY TO FULL WHILE DRIVING. FAULTY SENDER CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON CONSTANTLY. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM EXPLAINING THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR, BUT ONLY IF MY TRAILBLAZER WAS UNDER 120,000 MILES. I DON'T KNOW OF TOO MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT ARE 7 YEARS OLD THAT HAVE LESS THAN 120,000 MILES. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT IN MY VEHICLE. MY SPEEDOMETER IS DOING THE SAME THING AND MY OIL GAUGE. HOW IS THAT NOT A SAFETY RECALL! CALLED THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD PAY HALF OF REPAIR FOR THE FUEL GAUGE. AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT 145,000 MILES AND THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A CONCURRENT INVESTIGATION PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000.
