2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD DISPLAY HIGHER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET STATING IN SOME VEHICLES, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MAY WEAR PREMATURELY CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT ALSO STATES THE GAUGE WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. IT ALSO STATES THAT GM WILL PAY 50% OF THE TOTAL COST FOR AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR IT SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A 2005 TRAIL BLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS INACCURATE LEVELS OF FUEL. WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE SOME FUEL IS USED OUT OF TANK GAUGE BEGINS ACTING ERRATICALLY, FLUCTUATING BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL AND ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. I HAVE MADE NO REPAIRS AS OF YET AS I AM UNABLE TO COVER THE COSTS AT THE MOMENT. *TR

MY CAR'S GAS GAUGE READS THAT I HAVE 0 GAS WHEN I DO. I'VE FILLED IT UP SO MANY TIMES,ITS COSTING ME TOO MUCH MONEY TO KEEP FILLING IT UP. COST TO REPAIR $1000! *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILURE, IRREGULAR GAUGE READINGS THAT STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE BEEN USING THE TRIP TO WATCH MY MILEAGE AND FILL UP ABOUT EVER 250 MILES SO THAT I WON'T BE WITHOUT GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AS I LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY AND THE LARGER TOWN IS 25 MILES AWAY. *TR

FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED. GAUGE READS EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH FUEL TANK IS FULL. THERE ARE SPORADIC FLUCTUATIONS OF THE NEEDLE, BUT GAUGE IS NO LONGER RELIABLE FOR DETERMINING FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES IN THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER / GMC ENVOY LINE OF VEHICLES INDICATE IT IS A FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, THE GAS GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS AFTER 45,000 MILES. IT IS STUCK ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ONCE IN AWHILE IT MOVES UP BUT NEVER TO SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. *TT

GAUGE CLUSTER INACCURATELY DISPLAYS FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. OCCURS DAILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK.
