2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 Complaints

OUR GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING ON OUR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WE HAD WARRANTY ON THE SUV BUT IT FAILED JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX IT WAS NOT IN OUR BUDGET. WE HAVE TO TRACK OUR MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL-UP. MY SON RAN OUT OF GAS ONE TIME AS A RESULT OF THE BAD GAUGE. *TR

THE CAR HAS STALLED SHUT DOWN TWICE, ONCE AT A STOP SIGN AND THE OTHER WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. MECHANIC CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO COMPUTER GENERATED CODES TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. THE GAS GAUGE HAS PRETTY MUCH FAILED, WILL ONLY READ BETWEEN 1/4 AND EMPTY. UNKNOWN IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

I HAVE HAD A FAULTY GAS GAUGE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR; WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK IT ALWAYS SAYS I AM ON "E." THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM ALWAYS AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT AND STALLING, ETC. I WAS QUOTED $1200 FOR THIS REPAIR WHICH I DON'T HAVE. I NEED HELP ASAP. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. IT WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND HALF A TANK NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN IT AT FIRST. THEN WITHIN THREE MONTHS IT QUIT ALL TOGETHER. NOW IT JUST SITS ON EMPTY ALL THE TIME..REPEATEDLY DINGING AT ME BECAUSE IT READS AN EMPTY TANK AT ALL TIMES. I CAN STOP AT THE GAS STATION AND FILL THE TANK AND START IT UP AND IT SITS ON EMPTY AND WILL DING AT ME WITHIN 5 MINUTES TO TELL ME THE TANK IS EMPTY. TRYING TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK HAS BECOME A GUESSING GAME. CONSIDERING I AM ALMOST ALWAYS DRIVING AROUND WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR IT IS QUITE SCARY TO THINK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE RESEARCHED SCORES OF FORUMS WITH OTHER OWNERS SUFFERING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET CHEVROLET HAS NO CONCERNS. THEY WOULD RATHER PROFIT FROM THE ESTIMATED $1800 REPAIR BILL. WITH THE ECONOMY IN THE SHAPE IT IS THERE ARE ALOT OF US FORCED TO ENDURE THE PROBLEM AND KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED WE DON'T GET HIT IF WE MISTAKENLY GUESS WE HAVE MORE GAS THAN IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT AT 40,000 MILES WHICH WE PAID TO REPLACE ALONG WITH THE THERMOSTAT BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER HEATING. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. IP CLUSTER REPLACED FIRST AT COST OF $400.00. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT... MY FUEL TANK LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF I WOULD FILL MY TANK UP AND IT WOULD NEVER GO OFF. I ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE THIS IN AND PAID 1000.00 FOR A NEW FUEL TANK... I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND THIS IS A VERY EXTREMELY COMMON THING ON CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S... IT WAS RIGHT ABOUT 75,000 MILES THAT THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR NOT WORKING AT ALL IN SOME CASES, SOMETIMES GET STUCK AT A CERTAIN SPEED

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP, I WILL BE DRIVING AND IT WILL STOP READING MY SPEED AND GOING DOWN TO 0, IT WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL AFTER I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, DID THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOT VERY OFTEN, THEN STARTED GETTING STUCK ON WHATEVER SPEED I WAS GOING, AND DIDN'T MATTER IF WAS SLOWING DOWN OR GOING FASTER, WILL STAY AT THAT SPEED ON THE SPEEDOMETER, COUPLE DAYS AGO STARTED TO GO NUTS, NOW WHEN I AM STOPPED READS I AM AT 20 OR 30 MPH, AND WHEN I AM GOING 30 OR 40 STARTS GOING UP AND DOWN, MARKING 100 MPH WHEN I AM ACTUALLY GOING JUST 40 MPH, I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR OLDER MODELS, BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2005, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT RIGHT NOW, AND I HAVE TO USE MY GPS UNIT TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING, AND AVOID GETTING PULL OVER OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I WILL LIKE TO HAVE CHEVROLET TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IS CLEARLY A CHEVY ISSUE NOT A CONSUMER ONE, WE PAID FOR A PRODUCT THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK PROPERLY AND IT IS NOT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, FIRST 70MPH THEN 90 THEN 120 , IT STARTED BOUNCING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE. NOW IT HAS QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTY ISSUE. I HAVE 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. CHEVY NEEDS TO MAN UP AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

I READ IN THE MANUAL FOR MY 05 TRAILBLAZER THAT I BOUGHT 3 DAYS AGO THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCK IF THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION. TODAY I WAS MAKING A TRIP TO MY STORAGE UNIT AND DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING SINCE MY 4 MONTH OLD SON WAS INSIDE AND IT WAS A WARM DAY. MY DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK, AND I GOT OUT, WALKED AROUND THE CAR TO OPEN MY SONS DOOR SO I COULD HEAR HIM. THE DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED! I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY LOCKED THEMSELVES, BUT NOT EVEN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO LOCK WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, WAS OPEN! SO MY CELL PHONE AND INFANT WERE BOTH LOCKED IN MY CAR WITH IT RUNNING AND MY BABY CRYING. I HAD TO SIT THERE AND WATCH HIM CRY THROUGH THE WINDOW, BECAUSE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THE MANUAL WHEN IT SAID THE DOORS COULDN'T LOCK. THANKFULLY MY DAD LIVES CLOSE BY AND I WAS ABLE TO BORROW A CELL PHONE AND HAVE HIM GO AND GET THE KEYS FROM MY HUSBAND AT WORK. HAD THE CAR BEEN OFF HE COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HOT BY THE TIME I GOT THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND GOT HIM OUT. *TR
