2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A NON WORKING FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN. 2 OF WHICH LIVE OUT OF STATE AND WE DRIVE BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH FROM SC TO TN TO PICK THEM UP. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT WE WERE ANNOYED BUT WE JUST TOP THE GAS TANK OFF OFTEN, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER THAT JUST STARTED STICKING WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED BUT WE TRAVEL SO MUCH FOR SUCH LONG DISTANCES THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM YET CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IF CHEVY DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE WE WILL NOT EVER TRUST CHEVY PRODUCTS AGAIN. THE SAFETY OF AMERICAN FAMILIES OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM. ONLY OUR BAIL OUT MONEY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 90 MPH AS THE VEHICLE MILEAGE INCREASED TO 100,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND SPEEDO STOPS WORKING AT TIMES AND THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW OIL GAUGE AND FUEL GAUGE ARE NOT READING RIGHT. AND THEY READ WRONG ALL THE TIME NOW. HAVEN'T PAID ANYONE TO REPAIR PROBLEM YET EXCEPT PAYING SOMEONE TO MANUAL CHECK OIL PRESSURE AND ENGINE HAS GOOD OIL PRESSURE BUT GAUGE READS 0. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THAT I HAVE CONDUCTED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS EVERYTIME THAT I DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CLUSTER IS GOING TO RUN ABOUT $400, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2005 TRAILBLAZER IS MISLEADING. YOU CAN BE DOING 70MPH AND IT WILL ONLY REGISTER 50 MPH. SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE DOING 20 MPH AND IT WILL REGISTER 120 MPH. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 56,361 MILES ON IT. *LN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL WERE WORKING WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH OIL OR FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER NOR WAS IT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

I HAVE A TRAILBLAZER LT AND THE LIGHTS HAVE A SERIOUS FLICKERING PROBLEM GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS! WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHTS JUST FLICKER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CHEVY CLAIMS THIS IS A NORMAL PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS. THERE HAS BEEN NO CORRECTIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED HOW WOULD THIS PERSON FEEL IF THEY HAD THEIR CHILD IN THE CAR WHEN YOUR TRAILBLAZER WAS FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND YOUR LIGHTS FLICKERED CAUSING THE OPPOSING TRAFFIC TO COME INTO YOUR LANE? THIS IS NOT SAFE....SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND RECALL IT!!! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH AND THEN YOU SLOW DOWN. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYS AT 50 MPH THEN WHEN YOU SPEED UP IT GOES UP ACCORDINGLY. WHEN YOU STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS YOU ARE STILL GOING 30 MPH. THEN YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT TO TRY AND RESET IT. DOING THIS ONLY TAKES 8 MPH OFF SO IT TAKES A WHILE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE IN THE COLD WEATHER THAN IN WARM WEATHER. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST/ SLOW YOU ARE TRULY GOING. AND WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER DOES DECLINE WITH YOUR SPEED IT IS VERY JERKY AND STICKS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE ON DECEMBER 4TH AND YESTERDAY JANUARY 29TH. BOTH TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GOES HAYWIRE, FIRST 150MPH THEN 40 THEN 60 , IT GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CHECKED INTO IT AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS MY WIFE DAILY DRIVER AND SHE TRANSPORTS MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR
