2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT (SPEEDOMETER) CLUSTER IS NOT WORKING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. IT SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING, AND NOW I AM TRYING TO SAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE $500 CLUSTER & IN THE MEANTIME USE OTHER TRAFFIC TO GAUGE MY SPEED. THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER..THE SPEEDOMETER HAS WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK..IT IS READING 80 MPH SOMETIMES AND WHEN I TAKE OFF IT GOES WAY OVER 120 MPH.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE READY SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 5 YEARS AND I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT WAS NEW AND I'VE PUT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS TRUCK THIS PAST 10 MONTHS AND NOW ITS GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER $500 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIX. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FROM GM. I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN TO THE BBB. MY LATE HUSBAND WAS A GM EMPLOYEE AND HE WORKED FOR THEM FOR 15 YEARS AND WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT LAST MARCH AND GM HAS JACKED ME AROUND SINCE THEN AND NOW I HAVE THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT GOING TO BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE THE NEXT TIME. PLEASE FIX THIS VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. I'M A SINGLE PARENT ON SSI NOW AND CANT AFFORD THIS AND ITS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS TRUCK. IT NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUE. *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. BUT 80% OF THE TIME THE SPEEDOMETER IS CORRECT (I THINK). THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY TO NEW DRIVERS (MY DAUGHTER WHO JUST TURNED 16). GM IS PROVIDING MISLEADING INFORMATION TO THE DRIVER AND YOU HAVE NO INDICATION THAT IT IS INCORRECT. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT LS. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK AND DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I TOOK A LEFT TURN WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. AND FISHTAILED ON SOME ICE AND MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND GM HAS TOLD THOSE PEOPLE THAT THE BLACK BOX SAID THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ANTICIPATED A ROLLOVER AND THEY HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE THE DAMAGE FIXED. I HAVE TOLD GM THIS HAS HAPPENED AND AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM BUT AM EXPECTING THE SAME VERDICT THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS RECEIVED. I DON'T SEE HOW FISHTAILING ON WET PAVEMENT, ICE, OR IN SOME INSTANCES OR AROUND SOMETHING CAN CAUSE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I HAVE AIRBAGS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE INTERIOR ROOF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE SEAT BELTS ARE ALL LOCKED UP AND CAN'T BE USED. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS COMPLETELY GOING CRAZY IT SEEMS EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IS GOING WRONG WITH IT. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE OR MY KIDS DRIVE IN IT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO GO WRONG WHILE DRIVING. MY WHOLE GAS SYSTEM IS GONE FROM FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR TO THE GAUGE. MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS NOT WORKING. LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT. WHAT IS CRAZY ABOUT THIS IS THAT I AM ONE OF THOUSANDS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO. CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET KILLED. WAITING FOR FATALITIES BEFORE MAKING CHEVY FIXES THERE AWFULLY MADE VEHICLES IS UNACCEPTABLE. I UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION OUR ECONOMY IS IN BUT THESE THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS SHOULDN'T BE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO BE GETTING THERE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FIXED. I DO NOT KNOW ONE OWNER OF A 2006 TRAILBLAZER THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS UNETHICAL AND CHEVY INSTEAD OF STEPPING UP AND FIXING THERE PROBLEM ARE MAKING THERE LOYAL CUSTOMERS SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FIXING THERE MISTAKE. IT IS TRULY SAD THAT I DO NOT TRUST TAKING MY VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY IN IT BECAUSE OF BEING AFRAID MY VEHICLE WILL FAIL TO DRIVE OR MALFUNCTION. PLEASE HOLD CHEVY ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THEM FIX OUR POORLY MAD AND UNSAFE VEHICLES SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING OUR FAMILY AROUND AGAIN. *TR

I REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. I ALLEGE THAT THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ALSO ALLEGE THAT THE REAR CENTER BRAKE LIGHT COVER ASSEMBLY LOCATED ABOVE THE REAR HATCH ON THESE VEHICLES ROUTINELY FAILS RESULTING IN THE ASSEMBLY FALLING OFF OF THE TRUCK AND WOULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE DRIVING BEHIND THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR
