2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

SPEEDOMETER JUST WENT HAYWIRE. READINGS ALL OVER THE PLACE REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL SPEED. SAME AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *LN

SPEEDOMETER NOT READING PRPER SPEED. STAYS AT O SOMETIMES, AND THEN YOU COULD BE GOING 25, AND IT READS 75. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. HAS NOT WORKED FOR A LONG TIME NOW. I WILL NOT PAY 800.00 TO GET IT FIXED. STOPPED WORKING AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. FINALLY RAN OUT OF GAS 1/25/11. I DID NOT KNOW THE POWER STEERING WOULD QUIT WORKING. I WAS SCARED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STEER IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I FINALLY DID, IT WAS HARD, BUT THANK GOD AND LUCKILY DID NOT GO OVER THE EMBANKMENT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER WON'T GO BACK TO ZERO AND STICKS MAKING IT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE GOING 90-120 MPH. IT COST $450 TO GET THE CLUSTER PANEL REPLACED AND SHOULD BE UNDER THE RECALL ALONG WITH THE CHEVROLET TRUCKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE CONSTANTLY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND QUOTED AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL AS THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REMEDY THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I WENT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE READ EMPTY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TRUCK AND I'M AFRAID THAT MY TRUCK WILL GIVE OUT OF GAS, STALL, AND I GET REAR ENDED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. ALSO, AT ABOUT 85,000 THE SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED. IT READS 0 WHEN I'M DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF STATE AND FILLED UP THE TANK AND THE GAS GUAGE STILL READ EMPTY AND WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS NOT ACCURATE AND JUMPS AROUND. DURING THE DRIVE I WAS ON A ROAD GOING 50MPH AND SLOWED DOWN IN A TOWN TO 30MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AT 35MPH AND WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN. I HAD A 3 HOUR COMMUTE AND DID NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING TO 80% OF IT. UPON RESEARCHING THESE ISSUES, IT APPEARS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IS RATHER EXPENSIVE TO FIX, JUST TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN A YEAR LATER. THIS VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY A FAMILY MEMBER AND WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS GUAGE STOPPED WORKING THEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF STATE AND WENT FROM 50 MPH THEN INTO A TOWN WHICH WAS 30 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AT 36 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN THE REST OF THE TRIP. I DID NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING AND GOT PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING. THIS IS AN ISSUE. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES WITH THE 2005 TRAIL BLAZER SEEM TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AMONG OTHER ISSUES WITHIN THE DASH. CHEVY REALLY NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL BECAUSE AFTER PAYING $700 TO FIX THE GAS GUAGE, IT WENT OUT AGAIN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER. I WAS ALSO QUOTED OVER $500 TO FIX THE SPEEDOMETER. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE!? *TR

SINCE JUNE 2010, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL, IT READS AT 1/4 TANK OR BELOW, WHICH CAUSES ME TO RELY ON MY TRIP ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE MY CURRENT FUEL LEVELS. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS, AND THEY ARE CHARGING BETWEEN $500 - $800 TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM! AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF TWO GM VEHICLES AND THE DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER OF GENERAL MOTORS RETIREES', I AM SORELY DISAPPOINTED IN GENERAL MOTORS REFUSAL TO ADMIT THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM THAT HAS AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES.
