2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAUGE SAYS E AND THE LIGHT COMES ON. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE OR WHEN I WILL RUN OUT! *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY WHEN FILLED AND STARTS TO REGISTER AFTER DRIVING 50 MILES OR SO 43000 MILE AND IT JUST STARTED *KB

ON MON. JUNE 20, 2011 I STOPPED TO GET GAS WITH THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERING BETWEEN 1/4 AND EMPTY W/GAS LIGHT ON. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAGE CONTINUED TO REGISTER THE SAME W/GAS LIGHT ON. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE GAS GAUGE STARTED INCHING UP TO THE FULL MARK AND REMAINED THERE AND STARTED REGISTERING AS GAS USAGE DECREASED. NOT SURE IF WAS ACCURATE. UPON FUELING AGAIN, THE SAME PROCESS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THE GAGE WILL PERIODICALLY FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN. *TR

VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL, WHEN FUEL GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK FULL. INCIDENT WAS AT AN INTERCHANGE OF I-485 IN DAYLIGHT HOURS IN CHARLOTTE N.C.

MY CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER RAN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO FUEL AND NO A/C IN 95 DEGREE TEMPERATURES. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, GAS GAUGE QUITS WORKING, APPARENTLY A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, NO WARNINGS, JUST RUNS OUT OF GAS. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. HAVE TO ALWAYS FILL UP TANK AND USE THE TRIP MILEAGE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS, VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE REAR SPOILER BRAKE LIGHT COVER DETACHED ONTO THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE REAR SPOILER BRAKE LIGHT COVER WAS REPLACED TWO TIMES. THE THIRD RECURRENCE, THE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

FUEL GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY ON EMPTY. DINGS CONSTANTLY. FILL IT OFTEN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR NOT. I HAVE TRIED PUTTING IN 5.00 OR FILLING THE TANK. IT NEVER GOES TO FULL ON THE GAUGE. IT IS GETTING WORSE, USED TO GO TO HALF, NOW ONLY GOES TO QUARTER FULL EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR OF MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE GAS GAGE READS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT OCCASIONALLY MOVES FROM EMPTY TO 1/4 TANK, 1/2 TANK, THEN BACK TO EMPTY AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX. I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, SO I FIND MYSELF GOING TO THE GAS STATION ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY A FEW TIMES (THANK GOODNESS FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE). HOWEVER, IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO ENSURE THAT GM IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR PARTS. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER STARTED AT 60,000 MILES HAVING MY SPEEDOMETER GOING CRAZY AND IT FINALLY STUCK AT 120 AND ONLY MOVED OCCASIONALLY MOVED I TRIED TO GO WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, BUT ENDED UP GETTING A TICKET...THE FIRST IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. I WENT TO GET IT FIXED, BUT FOUND OUT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, CHEVROLET WAS ONLY FIXING IT IN CERTAIN OF THEIR EXPENSIVE MODELS. IT WAS GOING TO COST ME OVER $500, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I USE MY GPS TO WATCH MY MILEAGE. NOW THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, THE CD PLAYER, AND THE OTHER GAUGES ARE IN QUESTION...PLUS MY LIGHTS BLINK OFF AT NIGHT. I AM A SENIOR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER CAR, OR EVEN FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE TRAILBLAZER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILES AND I WANT TO KEEP IT THE REST OF MY LIFE. PLEASE HELP. *TR
