2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

A WEEK AGO, MY GAS GAUGE LIGHT CAME ON LIKE NORMAL INDICATING I NEEDED FUEL. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE, THE GAS GAUGE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED EMPTY. IN FACT, IT SHOWED LESS GAS THAN PRIOR TO THE FILL-UP. OVER THE WEEK, THE GAS GAUGE APPEARED TO CORRECT ITSELF. HOWEVER, I AGAIN FILLED MY GAS TANK YESTERDAY BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE INDICATOR WAS ON. ONCE AGAIN, THE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER FILLING MY TANK AND THE GAUGE SHOWED LESS GAS THAN PRIOR TO FILL UP. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AS I COULD EASILY RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT REALIZING I NEEDED FUEL. I WILL BE MAKING A TRIP TO PARRIS ISLAND, SC IN AUGUST TO SEE MY DAUGHTER GRADUATE FROM THE US MARINE CORPS BASIC TRAINING PROGRAM. THAT IS A 16 HOUR DRIVE, ONE WAY. IF I CANNOT GAUGE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I HAVE FOR THE TRIP, MY FAMILY COULD BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I HEARD ABOUT THE POSSIBLE RECALL DUE TO THIS INVESTIGATION; THEREFORE, I HAVE NOT TRIED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NOT PROPERLY WORKING.WHEN SUV IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE IT WILL INDICATE THE TANK IS EMPTY. THEN AFTER FILLING IT WILL JUMP FROM HALF TO EMPTY NOT PROPERLY READING HAS CAUSE ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DO TO A COMPLETE STALL ON THE INTERSTATE. REALLY CONCERNED AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER THAT SOMETIME THE GAS GUAGE WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T . I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE "KNOWN" PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE MOST RECENT ISSUE IS WITH THE GAS GAUGE. WHEN I FILL MY TANK, THE GAUGE SHOWS AS EMPTY AND DINGS AT ME FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN WILL SUDDENLY JUMP TO 3/4 OF A TANK. ALSO, I WATCH MY MILEAGE BECAUSE I NORMALLY REFILL MY TANK AROUND 300 MILES AND IT SEEMS TO STILL SHOW THAT I HAVE 1/4 OF A TANK AT 300 MILES. UNLESS I'M SUDDENLY GETTING MUCH BETTER GAS MILEAGE, THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE, SO I FILL MY TANK TO BE SAFE. I'M BEING TOLD THIS IS YET ANOTHER "KNOWN" ISSUE AND IT WILL COST ANOTHER $800 TO FIX IT. I'VE HAD 3 "KNOWN" ISSUE IN THE LAST YEAR AND EACH OF THEM SEEM TO COST $800 TO FIX. IF I RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR, IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS SINCE MOST OF MY DRIVING IS DONE ON THE INTERSTATE OR EXPRESSWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL SYSTEM GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY STREET TWICE BEFORE THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED AND I REALIZED THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE GAUGE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND DEALERS AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM AND A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND CERTAINLY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES IF YOUR VEHICLES STALLS ON ANY BUSY STREET. DEALERS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $600-$800. *TR

PURCHASED A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AFTER TRADING IN A 2001 BLAZER. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH CHEVROLET UNTIL THIS UPGRADE. NOT LONG AFTER THE PURCHASE I STARTED RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IN MY OPINION THE STALLING GETS SERIOUS WHEN YOU LIVE IN A LARGE CITY AND TRAFFIC MOVES FAST. IT IS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE IT OFF THE ROAD WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AS WELL. IT WASN'T UNTIL I BEGAN TRACKING MY MILEAGE AND HAVING IT INSPECTED THAT I FOUND IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. ROUGHLY IT WILL COST ABOUT 700 DOLLARS TO FIX. I AM STILL, AT THIS POINT, TRACKING MY MILEAGE WHICH IS A HEADACHE IN ITSELF. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY MADE IT CLEAR THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT IS ALSO MY PROBLEM. I WILL BE RETHINKING MY NEXT VEHICLE AND MY HUSBANDS AS WELL SINCE HE OWNS A 2003 IMPALA.

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2008 WITH ONLY 33,868 MILES ON IT. HAVE 78,158 ON VEHICLE NOW AND LAST MONTH HAD TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION REBUILT. THE PLACE THAT DID THE REPAIRS TOLD ME HE GETS ABOUT 3-5 TRAILBLAZERS A YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HE HAD 2 FOLKS CALL ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WHILE MINE WAS ON THE RACK. SEEMS THE RADIATOR DEVELOPS A SMALL LEAK IN THE SYSTEM THAT COOLS THE TRANS AND CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. HAD NO REAL ISSUES UNTIL LAST MONTH WHEN VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF 3RD GEAR. COULD PUT AUTO TRANSMISSION IN TO 1 OR 2 AND THEN BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF FROM DEAD STOP AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND THEN TO SHOP. HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE HAS NOT, BUT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TOTAL COST FOR VEHICLE REPAIR WAS $2,814.17. *TR
