2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 Complaints

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, CAR JUST DIES INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM WITH CHEVYS AND WAS SURPRISED TO NOTICE THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE GOIN UNHEARD FROM GM AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE DRIVING IN THE CAR. THIS SHOULD B INVESTIGATED IMM. *TR

GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ON A 2005 TRAILBLAZER. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS. *TR

I HAVE AN 05 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 4.2L WITH 90000 MILES AND LAST MARCH THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING BUT NOT BEFORE WE RAN OUT OF FUEL 2 TIMES NOT KNOWING THAT THE GAUGE WAS GIVING A FALSE READING.THE OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON A BUSY STREET. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE THREE INNOCENT LITTLE GIRLS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 THAT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. FROM DOING MY RESEARCH I SEE THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT BECAUSE WHEN THE TRUCK STOPS RUNNING YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING. *TR

SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL ITEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. MAIN ISSUE IS THE SPEEDOMETER AS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR GIVES FALSE READINGS ON THE GAS GAGE. I'VE HAD TWO CHEVY TRUCKS IN 6 YEARS AND BOTH HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS AND GIVES FALSE GAS READINGS. WHAT IF THE GAGE SAID 1/2 FULL AND IT REALLY WAS ON EMPTY AND I RAN OUT OF GAS IN RUSH OUR TRAFFIC. THAT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE'S 1,000'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE HOLDS GM ACCOUNTABLE. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A BIG PROBLEM. I HAD A 2000 CHEVY S10 AND A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. *TR

LAST NIGHT (11/01/2010) I WENT TO FILL MY GAS TANK. IT SHOWED I HAD 1/4 TANK FULL. I ADDED $50.00 OF GASOLINE AT $2.52/GAL. THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT CREPT TO 1/2 TANK. I FIGURED IT'D TAKE A FEW SECONDS....WRONG!!!! AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, IT CREPT DOWN TO 1/4 TANK AGAIN AND STAYED THERE. I MADE IT TO MY FIRST DESTINATION AND ASKED THE KIDS TO GET DOWN AND LOOK UNDER THE CAR AND SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING, ANYWHERE LEAKING. NOTHING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO SWIFTLY RISE AND MADE IT TO 3/4 OF A TANK WHEN IT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY WHERE IT STAYED. CHIMES ARE GOING OFF THAT I HAVE NO GAS. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED IT. GAUGE ROSE TO ONLY 1/4 TANK. I DROVE HOME. THIS MORNING, I STARTED THE CAR AND IT ROSE TO 3/4 TANK AND STAYED THAT WAY ALL THE WAY TO WORK (15 MIN. RIDE). THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I CAME ONLINE TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT MAY BE HAPPENING AND SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PHENOMENON EVEN THOUGH GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YRS OLD AND HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS BARELY BROKEN IN AND IT SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES ALREADY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (I-75). AT FIRST IT WAS READING 20 TO 55 MILES PER HOUR FASTER THAN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING AND AN HOUR LATER IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. AT THIS TIME IT DOES NOT SHOE A READING AT ALL. VERY HARD TO DETERMINE SPEED WITHOUT A SPEEDOMETER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CREATES A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS AND MYSELF. *TR

REPORT DATE : OCTOBER 18, 2010 AT 09:14 AM SEARCH TYPE : VEHICLE YEAR : 2005 MAKE : CHEVROLET MODEL : TRAILBLAZER RESULTS : 1 | ALL RECORDS DISPLAYED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: DP10001 N/A MAKE: CHEVROLET MODEL: TRAILBLAZER MANUFACTURER : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. YEAR : 2005 COMPONENT : FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP I BOUGHT MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO FULL AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF MILES IT WOULD GO TO "EMPTY." THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL MAKE A LOUD BEEP TO LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE OUT OF FUEL. THE BEEP REALLY THROWS OFF YOUR CONCENTRATION TO THE ROAD AND IS VERY DISTRACTING. IT MAKES YOU TAP THE BRAKES WHICH COULD DEFINITELY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, FUEL SENSOR OUT, DEALERSHIP OR GM WONT HELP FIX THE ISSUE, NOT READING GAS LEVEL. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AROUND SIX MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE OIL LEVEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE FUEL GAUGE GOES OUT. THIS IS ABSURD THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED SINCE THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR
