2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE MY HEADLIGHTS (ONLY) WILL NOT COME ON AT NIGHT OR THEY WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. AGAIN IT IS ONLY MY HEADLIGHTS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. ONE DAY IT WILL DO THAT AND THE NEXT DAY IT WON'T SO OF COARSE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT EVERYTHING IS FINE. HOWEVER I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE BECAUSE OF THE WEB SEARCHES I HAVE DONE ON THE ISSUE I CAN SEE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TT

MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NOT FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. I READ THAT THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. HAVE NOT FIXED BECAUSE THE COST WAS OVER $400. *KB

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON MY ENGINE HAD CRACKED AND THE MOUNTING BOLTS HAD BROKEN CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE HAD BEEN INOPERABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FIRST WAS THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT CAUGHT FIRE AND BLEW FUSES, THEN I GET POWER SURGES THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RANDOMLY AT THE WORST TIMES AND/OR WILL ALSO STALL OUT, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS OR END IN A FATAL ACCIDENT, IT DROPS IN RPMS AND LIGHTS DIM THEN IT ACCELERATES... AND THE LAST THING IS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES DRAMATICALLY AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL HOW MUCH FUEL YOU REALLY HAVE... DRIVE 10 MILES AT QUARTER OF A TANK AND IT EITHER STAYS CLOSE TO THE SAME SPOT OR DROPS AND THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR LOW FUEL. *TR

MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WENT OUT. IT HAD BEEN GOING UP AND DOWN FOR DAYS AND THEN I WAS DRIVING AND THE SENSOR COMPLETELY DIED ALONG WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT COST ME 638.85. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP ME OUT BECAUSE ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING THE TRAILBLAZERS...THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD A RECALL ON PRIOR YEARS AND THE YEAR AFTER WHICH WAS THE 2006, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE 2005 DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL. THEY WOULD NOT HELP. VERY DISAPPOINTED! *TR

I'VE HAD MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. ABOUT A MONTH NOW FUEL SENSOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OFF . IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S A FULL TANK, HAVE FULL OR EMPTY. THE LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME. ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE GAS STATION EVERY OTHER DAY JUST TO FEEL SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY AN ACCURATE READING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE STALLED ONCE DUE TO THE FUEL TANK BEING EMPTY WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE SUCH IN ITS READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,400.

HEADLIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. PULLING OVER AND FLICKING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF FOR A WHILE USUALLY GETS THEM BACK ON. EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE CURRENT PROBE INTO THE SAME MODEL YEAR OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER MINIVANS! *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 4DR2WD STARTED READING ERRATICALLY INCLUDING FULL ON EMPTY TANK AND FINALLY PERMANENTLY PEGGED ON EMPTY REGARDLESS OF TANK STATUS. FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON AND SOUNDS AN ALARM AT RANDOM. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN ON OUT FUEL ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS, CAR HAS STALLED ON FREEWAY ONCE AND IS VERY DISCOMFORTING TO OPERATE IN REMOTE AREAS OR ON FREEWAYS. *TR
