2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 Complaints

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ACTUALLY MY PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 2YRS AGO WHEN MY GAS GAUGE WENT OUT. THEN YEAR LATER I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND ONCE I GOT BACK UP TO SPEED MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND QUIT WORKIN. IT WOULD JUMP AROUND AND THEN SOMETIMES APPEAR TO BE READING CORRECTLY THEN JUMP TO ZERO OR WAY OVER PAST 90 WHICH OF COURSE I WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST. NOW MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE ARE GOING OUT AS WELL. AFTER CHECKING FOR RECALLS I SEE NOW THERE HAVE BEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE BUT NO RECALLS. IF THIS MANY VEHICLES ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WHY ISN'T CHEVY MAKING IT RIGHT? I KNOW MECHANICAL THINGS HAPPEN AFTER OWNING A VEHICLE BUT NOT THE SAME THING TO THIS MANY VEHICLES. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I UNDERSTAND AMONG 05 TRAILBLAZERS AND PREVIOUS YEARS. IT IS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR AND GM/CHEVY REFUSES TO WARRANTY OR RECALL THE PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS A SHAME GM/CHEVY IS ALLOWED TO GET A AWAY WITH MAKING THE OWNERS PAY VERY HIGH REPAIR BILLS WHEN THE COMPANY KNOWS IT'S A SAFETY PROBLEM. PLEASE INTERCEDE AND MAKE GM/CHEVY ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

PURCHASED THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WITH 49,000 MILES. AT 50,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN FROM GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, THE NEEDLE STAYED ON 70 AND WHEN I ACCELERATED IT WOULD ACT AS THOUGH 70 WAS THE NEW 0. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER POINTS DOWN PAST THE 120 MPH MARK AND WILL NOT BUDGE. GM TOLD ME THAT IT NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST OVER $500 TO FIX. *TR

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

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 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

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

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER JUST QUIT WORKING. WE CAN BE SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 50MPH. IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE AND LATER WILL EVEN DROP BELOW THE ZERO MARK. WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST WE ARE TRAVELING WHEN THIS OCCURS. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING FROM OH TO IN, I HAD TO GUESS HOW FAST I WAS GOING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED OUR READING 45MPH, SO I ESTIMATED THAT I HAD TO TRAVEL AT 110 MPH TO GO 65MPH. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS JUMPING FROM ONE SPEED TO THE NEXT, NOT GRADUALLY CLIMBING LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS PROBLEM IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. I NEVER KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES THAT CAN ENSUE. SPEEDING TICKETS, ENDANGERING OTHERS' AS WELL AS OUR OWN LIVES BY DRIVING TOO FAST OR TOO SLOW, OR CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN GENERAL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM UNDEREMPLOYED AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT THIS TIME. *LN
