2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

GAS GAUGE, SHOES IT HAS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF GAS.. WHEN TURNED OFF IT CAN SAY ITS AT 1/2 A TANK, THEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON IT SHOWS THAT CAR HAS 1 1/2 TANKS OF GAS. ITS NOT CONSISTENT AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO GUESS HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. ALSO THE CHECK LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THE GAS TANK HAS ISSUES TOO. *TR

Mileage: 80,000

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

Mileage: 95,000

GAS TANK IS BROKE AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. FROM WHAT MY MECHANIC SAID THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. WE HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR MILEAGE CONSTANTLY SO WE WON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

Mileage: 145,000

TODAY, 02/28/2012, I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WAS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN HALF FULL AND FULL AFTER ADDING 19 GALLONS OF GAS TO THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AND AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR TRAILBLAZERS. I AM HOPING THERE WILL BE A RECALL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR

Mileage: 73,313

MY GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN IF I KNOW THE TANK IS FULL WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE THE FUEL LIGHT GOES ON AND GIVE THE AUDIBLE SIGNAL THAT IT'S LOW ON FUEL. AS I BEGIN TO DRIVE THE GAUGE WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE A LITTLE BIT SO THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. I HAVE A FULL TANK TODAY AND AFTER DRIVING ONLY 13 MILES IT REGISTERS LESS THAT HALF A TANK. I GOT A LETTER FROM GM ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS BUT WILL ONLY OFFER TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR??? WHAT? DIDN'T WE JUST BAIL THEM OUT? "TOO BIG TO FAIL"??? WELL USE SOME OF THE MONEY WE ALREADY GAVE TO GM TO FIX THE PROBLEM!! *TR

Mileage: 60,000

FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. READS EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME EVEN AFTER A FILL-UP. GAUGE NEEDLE BOUNCES FROM EMPTY TO FULL WHILE DRIVING. FAULTY SENDER CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON CONSTANTLY. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM EXPLAINING THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR, BUT ONLY IF MY TRAILBLAZER WAS UNDER 120,000 MILES. I DON'T KNOW OF TOO MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT ARE 7 YEARS OLD THAT HAVE LESS THAN 120,000 MILES. *TR

Mileage: 125,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT REGISTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A MANUFACTURERS SAFETY CAMPAIGN IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER WOULD COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COSTS IF THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 110,000 CUMULATIVE MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT 145,000 MILES AND THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A CONCURRENT INVESTIGATION PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

Mileage: 70,000

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

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WORKS ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. *TR

Mileage: 85,000

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 DRIVER'S LUMBAR SELECTOR QUIT WORKING.THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. I USE MY GPS.THEN THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING, THE "DUMMY LIGHT" STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. CD IS HUNG UP IN THE RADIO. 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

Mileage: 80,000

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND LESS THEN 3 YEARS AND ONLY ABOUT 1,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED WORKING. GM JUST SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE FOR ONLY 50% WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

Mileage: 38,600

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT FUEL GAUGE JUST STAYED ON EMPTY EVENTHOUGH I ALWAYS FILLED UP THE TANK. I WENT ON RESEARCH FORUMS IF THERE'S ANY RECALL FOR THIS MODEL SINCE I'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE TRUCK MONTHLY AND CANNOT PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET STATING IN SOME VEHICLES, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MAY WEAR PREMATURELY CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ EMPTY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT ALSO STATES THE GAUGE WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. IT ALSO STATES THAT GM WILL PAY 50% OF THE TOTAL COST FOR AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR IT SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A 2005 TRAIL BLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 70,000

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. MY TWO GIRLS HAVE BOTH BEEN IN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN THEY RAN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS ESTIMATED BY 2 MECHANICS AT @ $850.00. *TR

Mileage: 96,400

FILLED UP WITH GASOLINE. FUEL GAUGE SAID EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT REMAINED ON AND WARNING BELL SOUNDED. AFTER QUITE SOME TIME, USUALLY WITH MULTIPLE START UPS, THE FUEL LIGHT WENT OFF AND GAUGE WORKED ALTHOUGH INTERMITTENTLY AND NOT NECESSARILY ACCURATELY. IT WOULD GO UP AND DOWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES. IT WAS NOT NOTICEABLE IF ANY PARTICULAR ACTION AFFECTED IT, SUCH AS ACCELERATION. *TR

Mileage: 110,000

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT SAYS ITS EMPTY WHEN I FILL THE TANK AND ANY OTHER TIME FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE TO USE THE "FUEL USED" DATA IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER TO FIGURE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS USED TO KNOW WHEN TO FILL UP. THEN I RESET IT EVERYTIME I FILL UP. VERY DISSAPOINTING. *TT

Mileage: 80,000

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN MY TANK BECAUSE THE THE GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN LIKE CRAZY. SOMETIMES WHEN I KNOW I HAVE LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS DUE TO THE MILES I'VE DRIVEN IT SAYS THAT IT'S FULL. OTHER TIMES RIGHT AFTER A FILL UP IT WILL SAY THAT IT'S EMPTY. *KB

Mileage: 95,000

ON MON. JUNE 20, 2011 I STOPPED TO GET GAS WITH THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERING BETWEEN 1/4 AND EMPTY W/GAS LIGHT ON. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAGE CONTINUED TO REGISTER THE SAME W/GAS LIGHT ON. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE GAS GAUGE STARTED INCHING UP TO THE FULL MARK AND REMAINED THERE AND STARTED REGISTERING AS GAS USAGE DECREASED. NOT SURE IF WAS ACCURATE. UPON FUELING AGAIN, THE SAME PROCESS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THE GAGE WILL PERIODICALLY FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN. *TR

Mileage: 7,500

2005 TRAILBLAZER, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, GAS GAUGE QUITS WORKING, APPARENTLY A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, NO WARNINGS, JUST RUNS OUT OF GAS. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. HAVE TO ALWAYS FILL UP TANK AND USE THE TRIP MILEAGE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS, VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

Mileage: 37,000

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE NOT PROPERLY WORKING.WHEN SUV IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE IT WILL INDICATE THE TANK IS EMPTY. THEN AFTER FILLING IT WILL JUMP FROM HALF TO EMPTY NOT PROPERLY READING HAS CAUSE ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DO TO A COMPLETE STALL ON THE INTERSTATE. REALLY CONCERNED AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT370. THE CONTACT DISPENSED FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000. UPDATED 07/08/11*LJ UPDATED 07/15/11

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE, ERRATIC READING, SAFETY ISSUE, WAS STUCK ON HIGHWAY OUT OF FUEL DUE TO GAUGE ERROR. I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT SUPPLIES GM SO KNOW WELL THEY ARE AWARE, BUT CHOOSE TO MISLEAD AND SAY THEY DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE, THEY DO KNOW BUT CHOOSE TO BE IRRESPONSIBLE AN UNETHICAL. THOUSANDS OF ISSUES NATIONWIDE ON TRAILBLAZERS AND OTHER MODELS USING THIS GAUGE. *TR

Mileage: 114,312

FUEL GAUGE DEFECTIVE. *TR

Mileage: 68,000

THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN AUGUST OF 2009 - I FILLED MY GAS TANK, WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AFTERWARDS THE FUEL GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO FULL, THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK DOWN TO EMPTY. THE GAUGE HAS FLUCTUATED EVER SINCE, MOSTLY STAYING ON EMPTY WITH THE LOW GAS LIGHT ALWAYS ON. TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF GAS, AS A REMINDER TO MYSELF I RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER EVERY TIME I FILL UP, THEN FILL THE TANK AGAIN WHEN I REACH 250 MILES. TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, SO I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE THE COST IS MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD AT THIS TIME. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

FUEL GAUGE ON 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS NOT WORKING. *TR

Mileage: 102,000

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

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

Mileage: 60,000

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

Mileage: 32,000

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

Mileage: 75,000

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

Mileage: 47,000

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

Mileage: 60,000

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

Mileage: 86,000

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

Mileage: 80,000

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

Mileage: 82,000

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

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ACCURATELY. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BOTH TIMES THE GAUGE SHOWED THAT THERE WAS APPROX. 1/4 OF TANK REMAINING. OTHER TIMES AFTER FILLING THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND CHIMES WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. VERY ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING. NO ACCIDENTS. *TR

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE WIRES WERE REPLACED AND WORKED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GO OUT AT NIGHT. THE FIRST NIGHT I DID GO OUT, THEY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS STUCK OUT OF TOWN WITH MY LITTLE GIRL. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T DRIVING OR IN A PLACE WHERE I DIDN'T HAVE CELL PHONE SERVICE(WHICH I DON'T HAVE CLOSE TO MY HOME). ALSO, OUR FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. WE'VE HAD IT REPAIRED AND IT WORKED FOR A SHORT PERIOD AS WELL, BUT DOESN'T WORK ANY LONGER. APPARENTLY, THESE TWO ISSUES ARE COMMON PROBLEMS THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS. A RECALL WOULD BE NICE. I HAVE TWO MORE PAYMENTS AND I DO NOT WANT TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. NOR WOULD I FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING THIS ONE AS IT IS. *TR

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : DP10001 I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. FILLED THE GAS TANK AND NOW IT GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM EMPTY TO FULL WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT WILL NOT READ THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT READ ANY FUEL AT ALL. IF IT SHOWS ANY AMOUNT, THAT AMOUNT WILL BE VERY INACCURATE. WITHIN A 10 MILE DISTANCE, THE RANGE WILL CHANGE FROM 400 MILES TO 85 MILES. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION DUE TO HIGH POTENTIAL OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN A HIGHWAY SITUATION. *TR

ON JULY 3, 2010 I BOUGHT A USED 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR A FEW DAYS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE GAS MEASUREMENT COULD NOT BE RIGHT. I REFILLED IT SEVERAL TIMES. THEN, AFTER REFILL, IT STILL SHOWED ZERO. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO COUNT MILES, AS A PARENT WITH A SMALL CHILD ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE WAY TO A FAMILY FUNERAL. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR PRODUCT DEFECT. ON A HIGHWAY SITUATION, THE ACCIDENT ENSUING FROM A STALLED CAR COULD BE FATAL. *TR

Mileage: 59,980

I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM THAT IS INVOLVED IN A CURRENT ODI INVESTIGATION. MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS INTERMITTENT FUEL READING FAILURES READING INCORRECTLY. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS BUT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND ALSO OCCURRING RIGHT NOW. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I DISCOVERED OVER ONE HUNDRED FORUM POSTINGS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALSO FOUND OUT ABOUT ODI DP 10-001. MY PROBLEM IS CURRENT AND ONGOING, FURTHER MORE IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION FOR THE OPEN INVESTIGATION IF REQUESTED. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FUEL GAUGE FLUCXUATING EVEN WHEN THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP, STALL, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CAUSING EXTRA AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO PUT IN THE TANK WHEN NOT REALLY NECESSARY. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND SHOULD NOT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING HURT IN ORDER FOR THE RECALL TO BE PASSED. YOU EXPECT US TO PAY $800-900 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT WHEN IT IS RECALLED, IT WILL TAKE MONTHS TO EVEN GET REFUNDED FOR THE $$ WE PAID OUT FOR THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT, HOWEVER, I DID HAVE MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN IT STOPPED IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER IN CHARLOTTE NC. WE HAD TO WAIT FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR HELP TO ARRIVE. *TR

Mileage: 63,728

THE FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE - RANDOMLY FLUCTUATES FROM MOMENT TO MOMENT FROM EMPTY/LOW FUEL LIGHT ON, FULL, TO SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE APPROXIMATELY APRIL, 2010. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AND ONSTAR INDICATES THAT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS PRESENT. VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS TESTING WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. SAFETY CONCERN IF VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS - WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE IT NOW FOR ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES BETWEEN FILL-UPS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE FUEL IN TANK. WE HAVE RESEARCHED POTENTIAL REPAIRS, AND THEY WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $600-$800 TO FIX. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN DEC. 2009 I FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY REGISTERED EMPTY THE FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED IT WILL COST $558.00 TO REPAIR. 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.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY GMC PRODUCTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 05. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR HAD REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON THEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. IT STARTED BACK UP AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD BUT HAD TO ENDURE THIS THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING HOME. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AFTER HAVING THAT REPAIRED I DROVE HOME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN THEY NOTICED AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM " THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WIRING WAS CHAFFING ON FUEL PUMP GROUND TERMINAL" OR IN LAYMAN'S TERM THE WIRE WAS SITTING IN FUEL SO THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE FUEL TANK AND REROUTE THE WIRES. THIS SOUNDS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF THIS IS HAPPENING PLEASE REPORT IT. THERE ARE TSB REPORTS ON THE ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS. THE QUESTION IS WHY NOT? I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE OUTPUT SHAFT SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED LAST YEAR AND AGAIN THIS YEAR. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION THESE ARE VEHICLE DEFECTS NOT PROBLEMS YOU SHOULD BE HAVING WITH THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE ISSUES. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALLS TO HAVE THESE ISSUES RESOLVED. OH IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS I ALSO JUST HAD TO HAVE THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED IN EARLY JUNE. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO, I STOPPED TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY AND THE LIGHT WAS ON. SINCE THEN, THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

GAS GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY AND THE BELL RINGS EVEN WHEN FULL. *TR

THE GAS GAGE IN MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND IT'S OUT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET. *TR

ON TODAY I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK DUE TO HURRICANE IKE. BEFORE I WENT TO THE GAS STATION ALL GAUGES WERE FINE BUT WHEN I RETURNED TO WORK I NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS ONE WITH THE LIGHT LIT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STAYED THE SAME. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED AND COVERED SOME TYPE OF RECALL. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE TRUE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. AFTER TALKING WITH CHEVROLET OWNERS AND DOING RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME. THE GAS GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE'S GAS TANK IS EITHER EMPTY AFTER BEING RECENTLY FILLED OR ONLY SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE "E" ON THE GAS GAUGE. IT TAKES ABOUT TWO DAYS OR 12 STATUTORY MILES BEFORE THE GAS GAUGE BEGINS TO DISPLAY AN ACCURATE READING, IF THAT IS EVEN TRUE! ON 30 APRIL 2008, DURING A FAMILY ROAD TRIP, THE GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY THAT THE GAS TANK WAS A QUARTER FULL AFTER BEING FILLED. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF, THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THEN WENT BACK TO A QUARTER FULL. I GUESS CHEVROLET DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK, JUST ITS QUANTITY OF SALES. *TR
