2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE NEEDLE STARTS ON 120 MPH WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD CONTINUOUSLY READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR EVEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL WITH GASOLINE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 12/01/10. *LJ UPDATED 12/07/10

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : DP10001 I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FILLED THE GAS TANK AND NOW IT GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO FULL WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT WILL NOT READ THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT READ ANY FUEL AT ALL. IF IT SHOWS ANY AMOUNT, THAT AMOUNT WILL BE VERY INACCURATE. WITHIN A 10 MILE DISTANCE, THE RANGE WILL CHANGE FROM 400 MILES TO 85 MILES. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION DUE TO HIGH POTENTIAL OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN A HIGHWAY SITUATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS EXT AND THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, AND BATTERY GAUGES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS A DIMMING OF THE LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AND PEOPLE SOMETIMES THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. ACCORDING TO HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=18419&HIGHLIGHT=GAS+GUAGE&PAGE=2 THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS OUT THERE THAT SAY THE SAME THING,THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS INCLUDING ACCIDENTS, SPEEDING TICKETS, RUNNING OUT OF GAS...THE PROBLEMS ARE ENDLESS I GUESS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS? ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMETHING SERIOUS TO HAPPEN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS AND WOULD FLUCTUATE INTERMITTENTLY BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

MY FUEL GAUGE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE HIGHEST IT WOULD GO WAS 1/4 TANK OF GAS AFTER PUTTING IN $70 WORTH OF GAS. AND THAT FLUCTUATED EVERYDAY. ONE MOMENT IT WOULD HAVE 1/4 THEN NOTHING. I HAD TO USE MY TRIP METER UNTIL I HAD THE MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE FUEL SENSOR SHORTED. I KNOW THAT MY CAR IS A 2005 WITH 87K MILES, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE, I AM SHOCKED THERE IS NO RECALL YET. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

SPEEDOMETER READ THAT I WAS GOING 85MPH, I WAS IN A 35MPH SPEED ZONE GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.THE SPEEDOMETER RAN COUNTER CLOCK WISE THEN CLOCK WISE. AFTER THAT EPISODE THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING ALL TO TOGETHER. FAILURE OCCURRED 62,000 MILES. IN COLD WEATHER THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. ALSO MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. *TR

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, IT IS COMPLETELY POINTING DOWN, NOW ALL OF THE GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING.. MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS I'M GOING 80-90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP. ITS SUCH A PAIN, NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, OR HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES..THEY SHOULD REALLY RECALL WHAT EVER IS MAKING THE GAUGES DO THIS..IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. ITS TOO BAD BECAUSE I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER BUT WONT EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER,RECENTLY MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING CRAZY,NOW IT EITHER WORKS OR IT DOESN'T,SOMETIMES IT SAYS YOUR AT 0 OR SOMETIMES IT SAYS YOUR GOING 120 MPH,SOMETIMES IT STICKS ON 70 MPH!!! I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A VERY IMPORTANT RECALL. *TR
