2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 Electrical System Problems

THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE, DOES NOT LET ME KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING OR HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T WORK... WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, CONSIDERING I HAVE 4 KIDS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE?? AND IT ALSO TELLS ME THAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS LOW, EVEN AFTER I FILL MY TANK. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE????

I HAVE 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 4WD EXT LS 4.2 LITER. I NOTICED OVER PAST 3 YEARS THAT I BE AT DRIVE THROUGH FOR BURGERS AND ETC. THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF. I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME. IT HAS GOTTEN CRITICALLY WORSE. IT WOULD CUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, DRIVE THROUGHS AND ETC. DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE RE THE LUSTER AND OVER HEAD DOME LIGHT FLICKER. HEAD LIGHTS VERY DIM ON DRIVING ALSO I HAVE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE THE FUEL THROTTLE AND SENSOR, A CRANK SENSOR A CAM SENSOR, A TEMP SENSOR 4 POWER STEERING PUMPS NEW THE POWER STEERING RACK AND ASSEMBLY WHEEL HUBS AND BEARINGS, ALL NEW COILS SPARK PLUGS, BELT IDLE PULLEY POWER STEERING PULLEY CHANGE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AIR FILTER CHANGE BATTERY, UPDATED SOFT WARE, FLUSH FUEL SYSTEM, SERVICE THE AIR CONDITION REPLACED REAR SHOCKS, GM RELACED PULLEY ON ENGINE 2010 REPLACED THE PVC HOSE FLUSH RADIATOR AND BRAKE SYSTEM, ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT DONE EVERY 5000 MILES, REPLACED HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM BULBS AND LEFT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND LENS, I HAD IT TO CHEVROLET PRIVATE MECHANIC GARAGE AND NOTHING IS READING WRONG ALSO NOTICE THE ECM NOT STORING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAY A MICROSECOND ON. THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS CAN STAL OR QUIT AND BE RUN OVER ON HIGHWAY. I NOTICED ON THE WEB ON CARS COMPLAINT.COM AMANY PEOPLE HAVE CMPLAINTED THIS ISSUE.CHEVROLET HAD INVESTIGATED THS ISSUE AAAAAND NO RESOLVE. I FELT THE VEHIHICLE MAY HAVE A SHORT R A BAD ALTERNATOR OR STARTER. .VEHIVLE WAS SITTING AT INTERSECTION I NOTICED IT TRIES TO STALL ON DRIVING ALSO. ALL RECORDS ARE WITH CAR.

FOR THE 3RD TIME THE CLUSTER HAS GONE OUT. THIS RESULTS IN THE SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND OTHERS TO STOP WORKING. EACH TIME I AM EXPECTED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PART REPLACEMENT AT $700.00+ EACH TIME. THIS MODEL HAS NO RECALL. I AM FED UP WITH PAYING THIS MUCH EVERY 3-4 YEARS FOR A DEFECTIVE PART. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SIGN BEFORE IT GOES OUT.

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND IT'S A DANGER TO DRIVERS NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE TRAVELING.

THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL OUT FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR, BUT I KNOW THAT MINE IS PART OF IT. I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM AS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE IN THE PAST AND I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY REMEDY THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE RELAY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RETURNED AND I HAVE EVEN BEEN PULLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IT. AFTER DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH TODAY I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE TONS!!!!! OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE GOING BACK AS FAR AS 2002. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/T32JTL93I9FKAUF4N HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=47492 HTTP://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/TRAILBLAZER-27/2003-TRAILBLAZER-HEADLIGHTS-2588/ I ALSO RAN ACROSS THAT GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR HEADLIGHTS, BUT IT ONLY COVERS YEARS 2006-2008. HTTP://FORTUNE.COM/2014/12/01/GM-RECALLS-316000-VEHICLES-BECAUSE-OF-MALFUNCTIONING-HEADLIGHTS/ CLEARLY!!!! THIS PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO THOSE YEARS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT.. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO SO THAT I CAN GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF? PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY AS WINTER IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AND THIS IS A DAILY DRIVER FOR ME. I GO TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN IT IS DARK AND BY THE TIME I COME HOME AGAIN IT IS ALREADY GETTING DARK. IT WOULD BE NICE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE AS I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND EVEN TO HAVE OTHERS BE ABLE TO SEE ME COMING AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES:VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL SHOW DOOR GATE OPEN, DOOM LIGHTS WIL BE ON, RINGING BELL WHEN THE DOOR WOULD BE OPEN AND YET ITS ACTUALLY CLOSED, AS ALL CONTINUES TO GO AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT. SPEED ODOMETER GAGE DOESN'T READ WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT AND THE GAS GAGE DOESN'T READ THE CORRECT LEVEL OF SHOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUES CAUSE IT HAS ME WORRIED OF NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE BEFORE IT RUNS OUT OF GAS RISKING MYSELF AND OTHERS BECAUSE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDENNESS LOSES SPEED AND SHUTS DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEN THERE WAS MOISTURE IN THE AIR, THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER SWITCH FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V248000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

MY SPEEDOMETER AND OIL GAUGE JUST QUIT WORKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DOES NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL HOURS LATER.

SINCE OCTOBER 2014 THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD RANDOMLY START UP AT DIFFERENT INITIAL POINTS. SOME DAYS IT WOULD START AT 60 MPH, 10MPH AND RECENTLY IT STARTS UP AT 110MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE NEEDLE WOULD MOVE WHEN ACCELERATING BUT THE READINGS ARE COMPLETELY INACCURATE. I HAVE READ VARIOUS ONLINE BLOGS OF THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS IN GENERAL. GM DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL THEREFORE I WOULD FORMALLY LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THE CAR USED FOR ME FOR CHRISTMAS 2013. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY WHEN I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 0 IT REMAINED THAT WAY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I STARTED IT THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMED FINE BUT AFTER A 1/2 MILE I NOTICED I SPED UP AND SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING DOWN UNTIL IT FINALLY WENT TO 0. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOESN'T WORK. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT A LOT OF OTHER CONSUMERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SOME WITH MUCH LESS MILEAGE. *TR

Mileage: 77,310

AT THIS TIME THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED MISREADING AND CONTINUES THROUGH TODAY. THEN THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED READING AND AFTER THAT THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE & AMP GAUGE STARTED MISREADING. I TALKED TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

Mileage: 12,500

THE DASH COMPONENT WENT OUT, LEAVING ALL OF THE GAUGES BROKEN, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE. ALSO, THE FUEL SENSOR IS BROKEN SO IN ORDER TO HAVE A WORKING GAS GAUGE, BOTH THE DASH SYSTEM AND THE FUEL SENSOR MUST BE FIXED. THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND SOMETIMES WON'T UNLOCK IF THEY WERE LOCKED WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED ON AGAIN. IT TAKES THEM 2 WEEKS TO FIX THE PROBLEM!! MEANWHILE, WE HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, AND CONTINUALLY HAVE TO GAUGE OUR SPEED BY THE SPEED OF OTHERS AROUND US, IF WE ARE LUCKY TO BE TRAVELING WHERE THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HOPEFULLY ARE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $1500 TO FIX IT ALL AND HAVE A RENTAL CAR FOR THE 2 WEEK PERIOD IT TAKES THEM TO FIX IT. IT CAN'T BE FIXED BY A NON-GM SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE GM HAS TO REPROGRAM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ONCE IT IS FIXED SO IT WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE TOWED TO A GM DEALER ANYWAY AND WOULD COST EVEN MORE. MEANWHILE, WE AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND US ARE AT MORE RISK BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS. *TR

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER STARTED EXPERIENCING FALSE READINGS ON THE SPEEDOMETER AROUND 96,000 MILES. AT FIRST IT WAS OFF BY 5-10 MPH THEN IT WOULD CORRECT IT'S SELF. NEXT THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STARTED WITH FALSE READINGS BOTH HIGH, THEN LOW, NEITHER ACCURATE. NOW IT IS AT A POINT WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER READING ACCURATE SPEED AND IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF EVER RE-CORRECTING IT'S SELF AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AS WELL AS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BOTH MALFUNCTION ON A DAILY BASIS IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVY TRUCKS IN THIS CLASS YET THE TRAILBLAZER IS THE ONLY MODEL IN THE CLASS TO NOT BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IF A PRODUCT IS FAULTY BY THE MANUFACTURERS STANDARD IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. *TR

LOWERED THE DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW & IT DIDN'T GO BACK UP. OPENED & CLOSED DOOR & TRIED BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES, THEN IT WENT UP. UNSURE OF BURN SMELL AS I WAS ON HIGHWAY. CHECKED AGAIN WHILE STATIONARY & WINDOW BUTTON NON FUNCTIONAL. NOTED THAT INTERIOR DOME LIGHT DID NOT LIGHT WHEN DOOR OPENED & ALL POWER BUTTONS IN DRIVER'S DOOR (WINDOWS, LOCKS, MIRRORS) RENDERED NON-FUNCTIONAL. ALSO NOTED THAT THIS DOOR DOES NOT RESPOND TO REMOTE KEYFOB FOR LOCK/UNLOCK, AND DOOR BY-PASSES ALARM SYSTEM. ALARM CAN BE SET, DOOR OPENED WITH KEY AND ALARM WILL ONLY TRIGGER WHEN KEY IS PUT INTO IGNITION, BUT UNARMS WHEN IGNITION CRANKS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT HAS A KEY LOCK MECHANISM. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE RELIES ON REMOTE OR DOOR SWITCHES. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER I OPENED THE DOOR (AS I COULD NOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN) AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT LIT, SO I TRIED THE POWER LOCK BUTTON AND IT WORKED. TWICE. THE ENTIRE DOOR AGAIN WENT DEAD/NON-RESPONSIVE. WITHOUT WINDOW ACCESS, THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED ON HIGHWAYS WITH TOLL BOOTHS. THE LACK OF INTERIOR LIGHT, INABILITY TO READILY ACCESS THE DOOR LOCKS, AND THE ALARM BY-PASS CREATES A SECURITY ISSUE. THE INABILITY TO ADJUST THE MIRRORS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE WINDOW CANNOT BE LOWERED.THE DRIVER'S DOOR NO LONGER LOCKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE. THE SCARIEST THING IS THAT THE CONTROLS SIMPLY STOPPED. WHY? A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM IS A VERY LOGICAL POSSIBILITY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE RANDOM FUNCTIONING JUST A YEAR LATER. I HAVE NOTED MULTIPLE ISSUES ON REPAIR SITES REFERENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH 2005 TRAILBLAZERS, AND AS OF TODAY (6/15/13) SAW A RECALL FOR A SHORT IN THE DOOR FOR 2006/7 TRAILBLAZERS. IF THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING WITH OTHER YEARS, WOULDN'T IT FOLLOW THAT IT WAS A FLAW THAT SHOULD BE REVIEWED IN ALL TRAILBLAZERS OF THE SAME BODY STYLING? *TR

Mileage: 76,000

BLOWERS (DEFROST/DEFOG ~ HEAT A/C) INTERMITTENTLY WORK. DIAL GOES FROM 1-5 AND TODAY IF EITHER BLOWER LEVEL #2 AND #5 IS SELECTED, BLOWER WILL CUT OFF. LAST MONTH IT WAS #1 AND SOMETIMES #5. *TR

Mileage: 95,000

THE CONTROLS IN THE FRONT DOORS FOR THE WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS A SLIGHTLY BURNT SMELL WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THAT DAY. NOW THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND IN MY DRIVERS DOOR THAT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 35-45 SECONDS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. WHEN THIS CLICKING SOUND OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING MY ENGINE LOSES POWER. THIS IS ALSO KILLING MY BATTERY EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS OCCURRING EVEN WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WITH NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO START A FIRE IN MY DOOR. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THE 2006 AND 2007 FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. 2005 NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

Mileage: 147,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THE DOOR LOCKS ALSO OPERATE WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND THE VEHICLE IS OFF. THERE IS A BUZZING SOUND IN THE DOOR AND THE LOCKS HAVE COMPLETELY DRAINED A RATHER NEW BATTERY. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED, BUT THE BUZZING AND THE INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF THE DOOR LOCKS CONTINUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT GM TELLS ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN. DURING A CALL TO GM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "RATHER LARGE RECALL" PENDING THAT WOULD BE FINALIZED THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY. I WAS ADVISED BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND GM WOULD REIMBURSE MY COST "IF IT WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL". IN A SUBSEQUENT CALL TO GM, THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH SAID THERE WAS NO PENDING RECALL FOR THIS VIN AT THIS TIME. BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEMS IN OTHER GM TRAILBLAZER MODELS, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER I CONTACTED NOT TO PARK IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE DUE TO A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE DOOR MODULE. *TR

GAS GUAGE READS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH FULL TANK, BATTERY AND TEMP GAUGE ALSO GO UP AND DOWN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I KNOW OF MORE THAN 8 PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES OF DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS WITH SAME ISSUE. CHEVY SENT A LETTER SAYING THAT THEY WOULD PAY 50% FOR THE REPAIR OF THE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IF THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 120,00 MILES OR WAS 10 YEARS OLD OR LESS. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 146,000 MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED A YEAR AGO WHEN THERE WERE ONLY APPROX. 120,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BEING THAT MY WIFE TRANSPORTS MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD I NEGLECT TO TELL HER SHE NEEDS FUEL, SHE RUNS THE RISK OF BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY FAMILY, OR WORSE ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE COULD STALL WITH NO WARNING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER, THE FIRST PROBLEM HAD TO DO WITH THE GAS NOT PUMPING. IT WOULD CAUSE THE PUMP TO CUT OFF. THE PASSENGER SEAT'S PLASTIC SIDE BROKE OFF AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKE.

THE FRONT FAN FOR AC/HEATING QUIT WORKING.THE OTHER FANS WORK AND THE AC COOLS.EVIDENTLY THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINS WITH THIS CERTAIN MAKE/MODEL GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEMS. IF THEY DON'T FIX MY PROBLEMS MY NEST CAR WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE AN AMERICAN MADE ONE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ALOT OF PRIDE WHEN WE HAVE TO BEG TO GET OUR CARS FIXED WHEN SHODDY PARTS ARE USED ON OUR CARS. *TR

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO COMPLAINT 10410347. AFTER PURCHASING 2005 CHEVY. TRAILBLAZER (JOYCE BUICK, MANSFIELD, OHIO) NOTICED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES FLUCTUATING AND MAKING STRANGE NOISE. MY MECHANIC ADVISE TAKE TO DEALER FOR FAULTY SYSTEM, SINCE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (3 MO. WARRANTY). THEY REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CABLE, STILL NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, DISCOVERED AFTER READING OWNERS MANUAL THAT GAS GAUGE SHOULD ALWAYS REGISTER AT GAS LEVEL, NOT RETURN TO EMPTY WHEN TURNING OFF IGNITION.

I WENT TO GET IT FIXED, BUT FOUND OUT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, CHEVROLET WAS ONLY FIXING IT IN CERTAIN OF THEIR EXPENSIVE MODELS. IT WAS GOING TO COST ME OVER $500, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I USE MY GPS TO WATCH MY MILEAGE. NOW THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, THE CD PLAYER, AND THE OTHER GAUGES ARE IN QUESTION...PLUS MY LIGHTS BLINK OFF AT NIGHT. I AM A SENIOR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER CAR, OR EVEN FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE TRAILBLAZER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

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

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

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS A NON WORKING FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER.

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.

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

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

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 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

Mileage: 79,150

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.

NOW HAVE AND OCCASIONAL SURGE IN THE FUEL WHEN I HAVE THE BRAKE PRESSED (KNOWN ISSUES). SPEEDOMETER STARTING ACTING UP AND NO LONGER WORKS (KNOWN ISSUE). OH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ALWAYS ON. STARTED INTERMITTENTLY (AGAIN, KNOWN ISSUE). WAS TOLD $500 FROM DEALER WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THE SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE. RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. CLOTH SEATS/LEATHER SEATS, THE SERVICE AIR BAG "SENSOR" IS STILL BROKE!

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

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 120 MPH OR MORE WHILE I AM ONLY DRIVING 70 MPH. I VERIFY MY SPEED THROUGH MY GARMIN GPS. THIS HAPPENS FOR NO RHYME OR REASON SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE AND THE NEXT MINUTE IT IS BROKEN AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS TRAVELING 250 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THOUGHT I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH BUT I WAS REALLY DOING 50. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT EVERYONE INCLUDING SEMI TRUCKS WHERE WHIZZING BY MY AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. THIS CAUSED ME TO BE ALMOST RUN OFF THE ROAD AS A SEMI ALMOST REAR ENDED ME AS HE SLAMMED HIS BRAKES ON. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET AS GM WANTS 450 DOLLARS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON 2005 TRAILBLAZERS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THIS SPEEDOMETER JUST NOT ON THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO REGISTER PROPERLY SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE DRIVING; THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND/OR UP/DOWN HILLS. WHEN IDLING, SPEEDOMETER WOULD SHOW FROM 60 TO 120 MPH; RESET OF SPEEDOMETER ONLY LASTED UNTIL NEXT ENGINE START. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FAILED. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. THE REPAIRS COST ME ALMOST $300. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT DOES NOT REGISTER ACCURATE SPEED. IT WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLYY ALTHOUGH HAS BEEN PROVEN TO NOT BE ACCURATE. IT WILL STICK AT ZERO OR AT 120 MPH AND GENERALLY GOES "HAYWIRE" WHILE IN MOTION ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER IF IT IS HOT, COLD, WET OR DRY OUTSIDE AND DOES NOT MATTER IF I HAVE MY HEATER OR AIR CONDITIONER ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESET ITSELF AFTER I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE BUT NOT ALWAYS. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANY PARTS AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE COST INVOLVED. ($500.00) I HAVE RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET DUE TO THE INACCURACY OF THE SPEEDOMETER. (ONLY TICKET IN 16 YEARS!!!) I WAS UNABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE OFFICER ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE I RECEIVED THE TICKET IN THE MAIL AND WOULD HAVE HAD TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK AND TRAVEL 2 HOURS TO CONTEST THE TICKET. I NEED THAT EXTRA MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE TO AVOID ANY FURTHER TICKETS! I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS AND HAVE MINIMAL PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS. I LOVE MY BLAZER BUT REALLY NEED AN ACCURATE SPEEDOMETER. VEHICLE HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE PUT 20K+ MILES ON IT SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT - SPEEDOMETER HAS CEASED TO WORK. I EITHER SAYS I AM GOING ZERO OR 120 MPH. HAVE NOW GOTTEN 2 SPEEDING TICKETS AND CAN NOT GET INSPECTED UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET FOR HOURS NOW AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING WITH THE SAME YEAR CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. NEXT STEP ACCORDING TO MOST IS THE GAS GAUGE CEASING TO WORK. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST LIKE THE OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE HAVE BOTH STOPPED WORKING. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AUGUST 2009 WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND IT SAID I WAS ON EMPTY. I TURNED BACK AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE SAME GAS STATION AND THE MANAGER TRIED TO FILL IT UP AND IT SHOWED I HAD A FULL TANK AT THE PUMP. IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN BUT THEN IT WOULD FLUCTUATE BACK AND FORTH. NOW IT'S JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL FOR ME. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WENT HAYWIRE. I WOULD SHOW I WOULD BE GOING 10 MPH AND ACTUALLY WAS GOING 50 MPH. THEN WHEN I WOULD STOP IT SHOWED WHILE IN PARK 70 MPH. I WOULD HAVE TO THEN TURN OFF AND ON MY CAR TO ZERO IT OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK PAST THE 140 MPH MARK AND HAS MOVED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE 5 KIDS AND THIS IS THE VEHICLE I USE TO TRANSPORT US. WHAT IF I GET A TICKET FOR GOING TO FAST OR TO SLOW AND WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND TO SEE ABOUT ANY RECALLS AND FOUND NONE. I THEN CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO TAKE IT A GM DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THEY WOULD COVER THE COST. THEY SAID BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE AND YEAR THAT IT'S FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY VEHICLE LIKE THIS BEFORE. HOW CONVENIENT AFTER THE WARRANTY GOES OUT I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE FOR RECALLS I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR CASES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH LESS MILEAGE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I DID ASK THE GM REPRESENTATIVE FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE IT. I'M VERY UNSATISFIED WITH GM AND THE POLICIES AND I DON'T FEEL AS IF THEY ARE REALLY CONCERNED WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND IT HAS MANY PROBLEMS. BUT THE MOST DANGEROUS, AT THIS POINT, IS THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. SOMETIMES, IT WON'T GET OFF OF ZERO. OTHER TIMES, IT SHOWS THAT I AM GOING OVER 120 MPH, WHEN IN FACT, I AM GOING WITH FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AT OTHER TIMES, IT SHOWS EITHER 15 TO 20 MILES ABOVE OR BELOW THE SPEED I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING. THERE IS NO COMMON DENOMINATOR AS TO WHEN OR IF THE PROBLEM STARTS OR STOPS. IT IS VERY, VERY RANDOM. THE COST TO FIX WILL BE OVER $450.00. THERE ARE MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM COULD BE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST, OR SLOW, THEY ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING. *TR

IN FEBRUARY THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 120 MPH WHILE SITTING STILL FOR A STOP SIGN NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I CONTACTED GEN MOTORS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN AND WAS ASKED TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT ED BOZART CHEVORLET. BY A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS THEY CONTACTED DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE FOR CHEVY AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP US. THE TOTAL COST TO FIX OUR CAR IS $1,258.00. WE WERE TOLD TO FIX THE CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IF THEY DECIDED TO RECALL THE TRAILBLAZER WE MIGHT BE REIMBURSED.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER KEPT INCREASING SPEED 80+ THEN FINALLY WENT TO 120 THEN DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM. IT STAYS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE METER SO IT DOESN'T READ ANYTHING. AS I'M GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM IT APPEARS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON HAPPENING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE LIKE THAT HAPPENS TO THOSE CARS ALL THE TIME BUT NO RECALL. THIS IS TERRIBLE WE (AMERICAN PEOPLE) JUST BAILED GM OUT AND NOW THEY HAVE THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY TRAILBLAZER EXTENDED WILL "GET STUCK" ON OCCASION. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MUCH WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO COLD. I ALSO NOTICE IT MORE WHEN IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE TO TWICE A WEEK. I HAVEN'T TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YET BECAUSE I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS IS OCCURRING ON MANY OF THE SAME TYPE VEHICLES. OBVIOUSLY CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING WHEN SOMEONE ELSE HAS '!@#$% UP. *TR

2005 TB EXT, SUMMER OF LAST YEAR THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE GAS GAUGE WONT WORK, THE HEATER WONT WORK ON 5 AND THERE IS NO HEAT IN THE FRONT VENTS,THE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT WORK,, I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED BUT THE BACK TIRES KEEP GOING BALD,,IT LOOSES POWER SO BAD,,,,I WENT OUT THIS MORNING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WONT GO OFF AND NOW MY BATTERY IS DEAD...WHAT ELSE IS LEFT TO GO WRONG??? I HAVE 5 SMALL KIDS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT.. SO NOW WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ?IF I SPEND $24,000 ON THIS USED VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT FEB 2008 IT COULD AT LEAST RUN DECENT..YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE CHEAPER FOR CHEVROLET TO FIX THIS VEHICLE THAN TO HAVE A LAWSUIT. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65-70 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DROPPED DOWN TO 40 AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE NEEDLE WAS STILL READING 40. WE WERE THREE HOURS FROM HOME AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ONCE WE GOT WITHIN AN HOUR FROM OUR HOUSE IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY. THREE DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE NEEDLE IS STUCK ON 60 MPH AND MY CAR IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT ISN'T OPERATING CORRECTLY JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BUY AN ESCALADE, TAHOE, OR SUBURBAN.

2 GAUGES IN IPC HAVE MALFUNCTIONED: THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE FUEL GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BEGINS TO "STICK" AT 60 MPH MARK AND DOES NOT RESET BACK TO ZERO AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF. IN FACT, WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL OFTEN GO PAST 120 MPH MARK. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE STICKS AT THE "EMPTY" MARK. COMMON SENSE DICTATES THAT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY CLUE AS TO HOW FAST OR HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE IS HAZARDOUS. MY RESEARCH HAS DETERMINED THAT GM HAS RECALLED THE IPC FOR OTHER 2003, 2004 & 2005 CADILLAC, CHEVROLET AND GMC MODELS BUT NOT THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. *TR

AFTER STOPPING, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH UNDER ZERO, OR THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 10 MPH LESS THAN ACTUAL. OVERNIGHT, THE SPEEDOMETER RESET BACK TO ZERO. THE SAME ACTION OCCURRED AGAIN APPROXIMATELY DECEMBER 18, 2008, JANUARY 9, 2009, AND FEBRUARY 5, 2009. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS DEFECT WAS OCCURRING ON NUMEROUS 2003 THROUGH 2005 GM VEHICLES. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR 2003 AND 2004 TRUCKS, BUT NOT MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER. THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED ME TO EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. *TR

ONCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, THE GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING AND A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THAT THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR. *TR THE REPAIRS ARE VERY COSTLY.

I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS.

VEHICLE INSTRUMENT FAILURE DURING DRIVING. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP AND READ BETWEEN 15-80 MILES PER HOUR OFF, USUALLY HIGH BUT HAS READ LOW. THIS LEADS TO EITHER EXCESS OR SLOW SPEED, BOTH CONDITIONS ARE DANGEROUS IN FREEWAY AND WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON EVERY OTHER CHEVY VEHICLE FROM 2003 TO 2005 ON A TRUCK BASE BUT NOT THIS MODEL. THERE IS ALSO FAILURES IN BOTH VOLTAGE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES, EACH HAVE LED TO MAKING EMERGENCY STOPS ON THE FREEWAY TO CHECK FOR PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE SHOCKS ME & ALL OCCUPANTS ALMOST EVERY TIME WE EXIT THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TO 3 DEALERS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. SINCE THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE CENTER FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE REAR HATCH MODULE CONTINUES TO SHORT OUT. THIS MODULE CAUSES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHORT OUT. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYWHERE. I AN A SINGLE MOTHER OF A TWO YEAR OLD. I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. JACK SCHMITT CHEVROLET OF O'FALLON ILLINOIS WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLE THAT THEY SOLD OR ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION. WHEN I CAME TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AFTER THEY HAD "FIXED" IT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS IN FACT THE REAR HATCH MODULE AGAIN AND THAT THEY HAD MADE AN EDUCATED GUESS THE FIRST TIME IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO HOLD THIS DEALERSHIP RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT IN THIS CAR AND TO STOP GIVING CONSUMERS THE RUN AROUND. *JB
