2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Electrical System Problems

FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. NOW, THEY ARE MOSTLY OFF WHICH MEANS I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT ANYMORE UNLESS I WANT TO BLIND PEOPLE OR GET STOPPED. I HAVE CHANGED HEADLAMPS, RELAYS AND FUSES TO NO AVAIL. NOW, I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL SUV HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. IF YOU WILL ISSUE A RECALL FOR ONE YEAR MODEL HAVING A PARTICULAR ISSUE, WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO THE SAME WITH ALL YEAR MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE? COME ON CHEVROLET AND NHTSA, LET'S GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED TO SAVE SOME LIVES. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND A MAJOR PAIN TO HAVE TO BE SURE YOU ARE HOME BY DARK OR NOT BE ABLE TO GO OUT AFTER DARK BECAUSE YOUR HEADLAMPS ARE OR MAY STOP WORKING.

THE GAUGES DON'T WORK PROPERLY AND WHEN THE GAUGES ARE TAPPED THE TRAILBLAZER STALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (BOUGHT NEW) WITH APPROXIMATELY 79,000 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING I AM LOW ON FUEL HOWEVER MY GAS TANK IS FULL. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM AFTER FILLING MY TANK (NO LIGHT ON AT THE TIME). AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS GAUGE BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH FROM QUARTER TANK TO HALF TANK AND NOW THE LIGHT STAYS ON WITH GAUGE SHOWING EMPTY. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE OR RECOMMEND ANY POSSIBLE ACTION TO TAKE.

MOST RECENT, I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT. NOTHING ELSE, JUST THE MAIN HEAD LIGHTS. ALL.OTJER LIGHTS STAY ON. HIGH BEAMS WORK, PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS IS NOT SAFE!!!

Mileage: 168

LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF SETTING STILL

Mileage: 19,000

THE SPEEDOMETER ISN'T WORKING. I'VE BEEN HEARING HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS. EVERY NOW AND THEN IT WILL JUMP TO A RANDOM SPOT WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND STAY THERE. BUT IT NEVER MOVES WHILE DRIVING

IN MOTION OR PARKED MY SPEED AND MY TAC JUST STOP AT RANDOM NUMBERS. I HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF IF MY SPEED IS STUCK. EVERYTIME I DO THIS MY SPEED DROPS 5 MPH SO IF I'M STUCK AT 20 I HAVE TO DO THIS 4 TIMES JUST TO GET BACK TO 0 MPH I HAVE CALLED CHEVY . THEY TOLD ME IT WILL COST ME OVER $800 TO FIX THIS. KINDA STRANGE THE RECALL DOAENT EFFECT ONLY THE TRAILBLAZERS DON'T YOU THINK. I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FEIOD FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW AND I KNOW ALOT OF CHEVY HAVE HAD THIS RECALL SO IT'S TIME FOR YOU GUYS ACT.

VEHICLE PURCHASED 2008. IT HAD 35,412 MI. IN 2011 THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE A ROUGH IDLE AND STALL IN TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES AS MANY AS 3 TIMES ON A SIX MILE ROUND TRIP. ALWAYS WOULD STALL DRIVING AROUND TOWN. I HAD REPLACED CAM VRR TEMP SENSOR FUEL THROTTLE. ALL COILS PLUGS WATER PUMP BATTERY MOTOR SUPPORTS BELT WINDSHIELD WASHER BOTTLE AND MOTORS FLUSH FUEL LINES. WHEEL HUBS AND BEARING ROUNDS CRANKSHAFT AND POWER STEERING PULLEY POWER STEERING PUMP OIL CHANGES 2500 TO 3000 MILES SYNTHETIC OIL. ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AND FLUSH REAR DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE. SEVERAL DIAGNOSTICS AT CHEVROLET. LEFT THERE THEY DROVE IT CUT OFF ONCE. FINALLY, I KEPT WATCHING GAUGES OIL PRESSURE DROPPED 44 TO ZERO. CAR CUT OFF RECTANGLES IT PULLED OVER WAIT 30 MINS. NO OIL ON DIP STICK. CALLED FIRESTONE TOOK IT THERE. OIL SENDING UNIT DEFECTIVE. CHANGED ALL OIL. THEY FOUND IT. THIS WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE OVER SEVERAL YEARS FOR ME. AFRAID GET RUN OVER BY TRUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT CUT OFF ONE TIME. I REPORTED TO CHEVROLET. PUT IN BANK THERE. PLEASE CHECK OIL SENDING UNIT. SEEN NUMEROUS TRAILBLAZERS WITH THIS ISSUE. ON THE WEB.

I AM EXPERIENCING ALL ISSUES IDENTIFIED WITH RECALL DUE TO DOOR SWITCH SENSOR BEING DEFECTIVE. INTERMITTENT WORKING OF DOOR LOCKS NOT LOCKING OR LOCKING AND WON'T UNLOCK . WINDOWS WON'T WORK SOMETIMES, AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL . LIGHTS WON'T SHUT OFF IN INTERIOR, OR WON'T GO ON . DELAY FEATURE WHERE RADIO , AND OTHER FEATURES STAY ON AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF , AND STILL IN VEHICLE WON'T WORK , AND SOMETIMES DO WORK . THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS EITHER MOVING, OR NOT MOVING IN PARK . THEY HAPPEN BOTH CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY AS WELL. ALL OF THESE CRAZY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BEGAN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND WHEN IN THE VEHICLE AND I AM IN PARK, AND SHUT OFF IGNITION, AND THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, THE KEY FOB WON'T WORK TO UNLOCK DOORS EITHER, AND I AM TRAPPED INSIDE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HEAR ME YELLING FOR HELP, AND CAN HAND THEM MY KEYS OUT OF SUNROOF IN ORDER TO PUT IT INTO LOCK ON THE DOOR AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS FIXED BECAUSE NOBODY NEAR MY RESIDENCE TO EITHER LET ME OUT OF VEHICLE, OR TO CALL . CLOSEST PERSON I CAN CALL IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY . I AM ON DISABILITY OF 720.00 A MONTH AND CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR .

GAUGES (FUEL, BATTERY AND OIL) QUIT WORKING. SO NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

RPM, GAS, AND VOLTAGE METER ARE NOT READING PROPERLY AT ALL. EVERYWHERE U GO EVERYTIME U START THE TRUCK UP IT DOES NOT READ PROPERLY.

Mileage: 200,000

DRIVING IN CITY SPEEDOMOTER QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. DONT KNOW WHAT SPEED IS WHILE DRIVING CAR HAS 33000 MILES, HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 3 YEARS AS IT WAS MY FATHERS AND HE NO LONGER DRIVES AS HE IS 97 YEARS OLD

Mileage: 33,400

OUR VEHICLE DIED AT A TURN SIGNAL LIGHT IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. NO WARNING FROM THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS RUNNING NORMAL. IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT NO START. POLICE FORCE A TOW OUT OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION RIGHT AWAY. IT STARTS UP AT THE MECHANICS. THEY TESTED FUEL FILTER AND OTHER STUFF. WE GET ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AND GET 6 MILES OUT AND NO WARNING WE DIE AND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER ON IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. SIT FOR 2 HOURS AND IT FIRES UP. SO WE FOUND SHADE AND WAITED FOR COOL DOWN. 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND IT TOOK US 9 HOURS TO GET HOME. WE DROVE IT TO THE STORE AND WHEN WE WERE DONE SHOPPING IT FIRED UP. WENT AROUND THE CORNER TO OTHER STORE AND SHOPPED 2 HOURS AND CAME OUT AND IT WOULD TURN AND NO START. TRIED STARTING EVERY 30 MINUTES TO HOUR FROM 9:30PM TO 1:40AM AND THEN IT FIRED RIGHT UP THEN DROVE 30 MINUTES TO HOME. AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING QUITE A FEW WITH SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WE FOUND THAT IT IS THE PWR/TRN RELAY PLUG IN AREA IN THE FUSE RELAY CENTER. WHEN WE BROKE THE PLASTIC OFF THE RELAY AND WRAPPED A RUBBER BAND AROUND IT SO IT'S CONSTANT CONTACT AND PLUG IT IN, IT WILL FIRE UP EVERY TIME. I CAN DRIVE IT ALL DAY LIKE THAT WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY FROM RUNNING TO ACCESSORY MODE THEN REMOVE THE RUBBER BAND AND THEN POWER OFF THE CAR. DON'T WANT TO FRY COM. THE RELAYS ARE GOOD AND PROBLEM IS THE FUSE RELAY CENTER. CHEVROLET SAID THEMSELVES THAT THIS MODEL IS NOTORIOUS FOR FUSE RELAY CENTER PROBLEMS AND USUALLY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT. THERE ARE TWO PICTURES ATTACHED FROM ONE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME VEHICLE SAME PROBLEM AND IN ORDER TO MAKE HIS FUSE RELAY CENTER WORK PROPERLY HE HAD TO WIRE/REROUTE HIS PWR/TRN RELAY AS SEEN IN THE PICTURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET AND THE TRAILBLAZER.

I HAVE A 2005 TB LS, AND IT'S A POS. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. MY BRAKES PULSATE, GO TO THE FLOOR, GET STIFF AS A BOARD, BASICALLY THEY DON'T WORK. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES QUICKLY IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID A CRASH. I FILLED THE GAS TANK TO FULL, HUGE MISTAKE. THE MOMENT I DID THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS FLASHED AND SPORADIC IDLING. IT HAS A LOUD WHINE UNDER THE HOOD, FRONT TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD FLASHER RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING. CAR WILL DIE IF I RUN THE A/C FOR MORE THEN 15 MINS. IT WILL PULL TO EITHER SIDE WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE, TUNE UP, ETC. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, THAT SO MANY HAVE THE SAME [XXX] ISSUES AND YET CHEVY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE/TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OBVIOUS FLAWS AND LACK OF MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE..I JUST WANT OUT OF THIS [XXX] LEASE AND A REPLACEMENT CAR!!! PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AFTER A WHILE OF USE AS IF THE OVER HEAT AND GO OFF ONCE THEY COOL OFF THEY COME BACK ON BUT THEY GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS OF USE. ONLY THE BRIGHTS WILL WORK AT THIS TIME. SO NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME THAT MY LIGHTS JUST GO OFF OUT OF NOWHERE THEN I HAVE TO TURN MY BRIGHTS ON WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER PEOPLE AND AGAINST THE WALL YOU HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE THE RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE THEY GO OFF ON BACK ROADS THEY GO OFF ON THE HIGHWAY THEY GO OFF IN THE CITY THEY GO OFF IN THE COUNTRY THEY GO OFF ANYWHERE THAT I'M DRIVING ANYTIME THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THAT WILL GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF USE WHETHER THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR IT IS STATIONARY. THIS IMHAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR MANY YEARS BUT I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT IT FOR MYSELF AND I FEEL IT'S AN ISSUE THAT YOU ALL SHOULD RESOLVE I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE

TAKATA RECALL ALL THE GAUGES ON MY TRAILBLAZER HAVE STOPPED WORKING EXCEPT THE GAS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING 2 WEEKS AGO ON THE HIGHWAY MY GAUGES JUST QUIT WORKING AND THE NEEDLES DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM.

Mileage: 157,000

CONTROL PANEL ON DRIVERS DOOR IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK, CLOSED THE DOOR AND RAN TO MY HOUSE. THE NEXT DAY THE CONTROLS NO LONGER WORKED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE LEFT MY VEHICLE WHILE RAINING BUT THE FIRST TIME THE CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM IN OTHER YEARS 2006-2007. CHERY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS BEING THE SAME ISSUE IN THE 2005 MODEL. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER RECALL - #13V248000. FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. A SHORT MAY CAUSE THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY OR BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE HEADLAMP LOW BEAMS JUST GO OUT. I HAVE MOVED RELAYS AROUND BUT IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY POLICE SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE I AM BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS LIT. I SEE THEY RECALLED THE 2006 AND LATER MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK AT A SHOP AND WE SEE , ON AVERAGE, 10 PER YEAR THAT ARE 2005 AND THAT'S JUST IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY. IF I SET A HALF HOUR, SOMETIMES AN HOUR THEN THE DIMS START WORKING AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS MAY 5TH OF 2018

Mileage: 155,000

IT ALL STARTED WHAEN I FILLED THE TANK OF GAS EVEN WHEN FULL THE GAUGE WENT CRAZY NEVER MARKED THE REAL AMOUT NOW ALL THE PANEL IS NOT FUNCTIONING ANS SOMETIMES TURNS ALL LIGHT AND STOPS WORKING AIR WINDOWS ETC.

Mileage: 100,000

SO I CAN'T REALLY DRIVE AT NIGHT AS MY DIM LIGHTS JUST STOP WORKING. YES I HAVE BRIGHTS AND I HAVE BEEN STOPPED TWICE AND TICKETED ONCE FOR THE ISSUE OF FAILURE TO DIM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS THEY ARE RECALLING ALL THE NEWER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2005. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAVE EVEN MOVED RELAYS AROUND BUT NOTHINGS HELPS EXCEPT TO SET ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY FOR A COUPLE HOURS BEFORE THEY APPARENTLY COL DOWN? YOU TELL ME

Mileage: 150,000

SINCE THE PURCHASE MY TB ENGINE WILL STOP WHEN AC AND HEATER IS ON ON STOP LIGHT, THAT IT WAS DELAYING WHILE DRIVING. IT GOT WORSE AFTER "WARRANTY WAS OUT, I BELIEVE IN JULY 2007.NO ONE CAN FIND THE CAUSE, BUT THINKING ITS ALL SYSTEM FAULTY., ENGINE, ELECTRONICS, FANS. COULD I AFFORD A NEW CAR, I WOULD NOT KEEP THIS CAR, AS NOW I KNOW IT WAS THE WORSE YEAR MAKING OF ALL. NOW I ONLY PRAY TO STAY ALIVE WHILE DRIVING AND NOT GET INTO SOME BEYOND MY CONTROL BUT FAULTY GM MODEL MAKERS

Mileage: 70,000

MY GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS STOPPED WORKING. FIRST, ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY TAC AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE TEMP GAUGE. NOW, LAST WEEK MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED.

Mileage: 98,000

MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING MY GAS GAIGE STOPPED WORKING AND MY ODOMETER WENT OUT CANT SEE THE MILELAGE AND I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TAKE,AND THE SPEED IS MOT WORKING.I REMEMBER A RECALL AWHILE AGO IF YOU HAD THE PROBLEM THEY SAID AND I DIDNT AT THAT TIME I THINK IT WAS 2011

WHEN YOU TURN THE HEAT OR AIR ON HIGH THE RED WIRE ON THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR GETS HOT AND MELTS AND I HAVE 2 LITTLE GIRLS THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS ISN'T NORMAL

GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 3 GAUGES NOT WORKING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE GAS GAUGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR GAS TANK IS EMPTY OR HOW FAST YOUR GOING. THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED.

Mileage: 115,000

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER,4 WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT ENGAGE

Mileage: 130,000

NOV.2013 WAS THE FRIST TIME WE HAD A PROPLEM, RIGHT AFTER THAT THE OIL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. ON AN OFF WE HAVE NOTICED OTHER TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT SEEM TO BE ELECTRICAL. FOR THE LAST YEAR \YEAR AN HALF MY GAS IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, ALWAYS STOPPING TO GET GAS AS NOT TO GIVE OUT. ALSO, MY GEAR AND MILEAGE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. NOW HAVE NO IDEA WHEN TO CHANGE THE OIL OR ROTATE TIRES

GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS/RECALL. ON 07/18/2014 I TOOK MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (32,262 MI.) IN FOR SERVICE TO FIX/REPLACE PARTS: FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. TODAY, 06/02/2017, MY TRAILBLAZER (35,193 MI.) IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS CAUSING ABS AND PARKING BRAKES LIGHTS TO COME ON AND STAY ON, THE BLOWER FOR AIR/VENT WILL NOT WORK AND SINCE THESE PARTS ARE ALL CONNECTED ELECTRICALLY, I ONCE AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I WAS NEVER REIMBURSED FOR THE FIRST RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WOULD HATE TO GET RID OF A PERFECTLY GOOD VEHICLE, THAT HAS HELD UP ALL OF THIS TIME, I ONLY HAVE 35,200 MILES ON THIS 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WILL THE IGNITION SWITCH KEEP FAILING ON THIS VEHICLE? THANK YOU.

Mileage: 35,200

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IN THE DARK. HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME FRAME, BUT GENERALLY IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 10- 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I SUSPECT IT IS HEAT RELATED. I HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHT RELAY #46, BIT IT ONLY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WEEK. AGAIN THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MINUTES. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. COULD THIS BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO MULTIPLE FORUMS EXPLAINING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH EARLY 2000 MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO. LAST WEEK WE RAN INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM. OUR ABS LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. LIKE THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME ANYWHERE FROM 10 MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES. AGAIN, I FEEL IT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS/WIRING IS OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THESE ISSUES. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS USA WIDE.

Mileage: 95,000

THE DRIVER'S DOOR MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH MODULE GOT HOT & STARTED SMOKING. REMOVING AND LOOKING AT IT SHOWED THAT IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT STARTED SOMEWHERE ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. IT SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM LISTED ON THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V599000) IT HAPPENED IN 2015. I'VE JUST BEEN HOLDING ONTO THE PART BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT & THE LOCAL DEALER WASN'T ANY HELP.

Mileage: 63,000

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONTROL STARTED SMOKING, THEN IT QUIT WORKING

Mileage: 128,000

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2009. IT HAD ABOUT 60000 MILES ON IT. 1) THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH IT WAS A BURNOUT OF THE HAC BLOWER PLUG, THAT PART OF THE WIRING HARNESS HAD TO BE CUT OUT AND REPLACED WTH A COMPLETELY NEW PLUG( BOTH HALVES) AND REWIRED IN FOR A COST OF 125.OO AND 3 HOURS OF LABOUR. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET VERY COMMON PROBLEM 2) RIDER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING WITH STRONG ODOR OF BURNT PLASTIC. AGAIN LOOKED UP AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY 2006 VEHICLES 3)BRAKES BURN OUT OF ROTORS ONLY ON RIGHTSIDE- LEFT SIDE ROTORS WERE FINE, BRAKE JOB WITH REPLACEMENT OF 2 LEFT ROTORS I FRONT PISTON AMD ALL 8 PADS 650.00. FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET 4) FAILURE OF IGNITION SWITCH WITH ERRATIC ELECTRICAL FUNCTION OF RUNNING LIGHTS, RADIO AND DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION. HAPPENED ON THE ROAD EARLY TWILIGHT VERY DANGEROUS HAD TO GET A LOCAL TOLL FOR 75.00 ALL OF THESE FAILURES HAVE MADE ME VERY WARY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THEY OCCURRED AT VARIOUS TIMES OVER LAST 4YEAR SOME HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AS NOTED ABOVE. PRESENTLY WAITING FOR IGNITON SYSTEM REPAIR.

Mileage: 105,000

FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS SHOWS EMPTY, NOT WORKING. NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. OIL GAUGE NOT WORKING.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED THE HDM SOLID STATE RELAY TWICE, BUT AFTER A TIME. 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE FAILURE OCCURS AGAIN. ONCE THE HDM MODULE BECAME TO HOT TO TOUCH UPON FAILING. THIS LAST TIME, THE THIRD, THE LIGHTS MAY COME ON AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME HAS PASSED. IT IS AS IF THE MODULE IS SHORT CIRCUITING OR OVERHEATING LEADING TO A SHORT CIRCUIT.

Mileage: 243,000

THE LOW FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER I FILL MY FUEL TANK. THE INDICATOR NEVER GOES OFF AT ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, A FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR NEAR THE WINDOW SWITCH. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

Mileage: 159,000

AS OF 2011 (WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS) I'VE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS MY FUEL LEVEL GAGE WOULD READ FULL AND VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF CAUSE NO GAS IN TANK, AIR BAGS SENSOR WOULD SHOW IT ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THERE ARE SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON DRIVER SEAT CONTROLS NOT WORKING, DASH BOARD GAGES NOT SHOWING READINGS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION (RMP, SPEEDOMETER, OIL, GAS).

Mileage: 120,000

SINCE 2011 I'VE BEEN HAVING WRONG READING OF GAS LEVELS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SHUTOFF. PLUS MY PASSAGER AIR BAG DISPLAYS ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN SEAT AND WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSAGER SEAT IT OCCASIONALLY FLICKER ON AND OFF. HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HAD A INCIDENT JUST YET BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED AND DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE.

THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL BE STUCK AND THEN IT WILL NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS. ALSO THE FAN CONTROL SWITCH STOPS WORKING AT THE SAME RATE. SOME DAYS IT WORKS AND SOME DAYS IT WON'T.

Mileage: 105,000

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK MOST OFTEN AND WHEN IT DOES, DOES NOT SHOW AN ACCURATE READING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTERWARDS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ABS SENSOR, THE OXYGEN SENSOR, THE BRAKE PADS, THE CLUSTER MODULE AND THE FUEL SENDER LEVER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Mileage: 178,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR HATCH LOCK FAILED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE REAR HATCH AND THE FRONT ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE FRONT ROTORS. THE SPEEDOMETER AND REAR HATCH WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ABNORMAL ODOR PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,584.

THE GAUGE CLUSTER, SPEAKERS AND OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS STOP WORKING AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE GAUGES EITHER REGISTER COMPLETELY MAXED OUT, MINIMUM OR SOMEWHERE OBVIOUSLY WRONG. EXAMPLE FUEL GAUGE WAY PAST FULL, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READING 0, CHARGE GAUGE MAXED OUT TACHOMETER COMPLETELY OFF THE SCALE AND SPEEDOMETER INOPERABLE. REAR SPEAKERS WORK SOMETIMES AND BULBS IN BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. THE GAUGES ARE OF MOST CONCERN AS THE TRUE VALUES OF FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE, BATTERY VOLTAGE AND ENGINE TEMP ARE RARELY ACCURATE (OR EVEN CLOSE). THE SPEED WILL NOT OPERATE AT TIMES AND OCCASIONALLY IF THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED THE SPEEDOMETER WILL CORRECT ITSELF. ALL THESE CONDITIONS CREATE SAFETY CONCERNS ON SOME LEVEL FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A LESS THAN DESIRABLE LOCATION, DRIVING AT INCORRECT SPEEDS, OVERHEATING ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING OR ENGINE PROBLEMS. LOSING A TAIL LIGHT NOT ONLY CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR TRAFFIC BUT CREATES ISSUES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL. THESE CONDITIONS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, DRIVING, PARKED OR IDLING BUT THE KEY MUST BE ON TO POWER THE ACCESSORIES. TYPE OF DRIVING (CITY, HIGHWAY, ETC,) MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

Mileage: 75,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY.

I HAVE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. JUST TODAY MY A/C QUIT BLOWING. I'VE HAD ENOUGH SO DECIDED TO RESEARCH ONLINE. GLAD I DID BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THERE REALLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. FIRST OFF I MY GAUGES(ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE) STARTED TO ACT UP. SOMETIMES THEY WORKED AND OTHER TIMES THEY WERE WAY OFF OR JUST HANGING. THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORK AT ALL. THIS ALL STARTED YEARS AGO. I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT AS I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THEM. MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. ALSO SOMETHING I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH AS I DON'T DO TOO MUCH NIGHT TIME DRIVING. NOW THAT MY A/C IS NOT BLOWING I WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND AM NOT GOING TO ALLOW MY DAUGHTER AND I TO SWEAT EVERYDAY BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK AND SCHOOL TO HOME. THIS SUCKS!!! THEY REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE CONNECTIONS GETTING SO HOT THEY BURN UP.

LIGHTS GO OUT/DIM WHILE DRIVING. NO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN USE-HEATER, AC, GPS, RADIO, CIGARETTE LIGHTER. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED OR CAUSED BY SPEED, ACCELERATION, DECELERATION. FULE TANK WILL SOMETIMES REGISTER EMPTY WHILE MOSTLY FULL. DO NOT NOTICE PROBLEM DURING DAYLIGHT DRIVING.

I NOTICED MY BATTERY GUAGE QUIT. THEN AFTER STARTING MY TRUCK A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES, THE GAS GUAGE READ DIFFERENTLY. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER WDULD STICK ON 100 WHEN I WAS DOING APPROXIMATLY 60. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON IT. MY FRIEND HAS A 2005 ALSO AND HER CLUSTER PANNEL WENT OUT TOO. ITS A 400.00 REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS FROM WHAT IVE READ ONLINE. COME ON GENERAL MOTORS. YOU NEED TO RECALL THESE MODELS.

THE HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN SHUT OFF. (ON THE WAY TO WORK IN A DOWNPOUR, NO LESS) DASHBOARD LIGHTS PARTIALLY WORKING. (IF I GO OVER 40 MPG CAN'T TELL WHAT MY SPEED IS) WAS WORKING CORRECTLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW NOTHING. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2006-20XX (NHTSA 14V755000 ) JUST WONDERING, AFTER FINDING ON THE INTERNET, NUMEROUS 2005 OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM, WHY THIS MODEL WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS? I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM OF THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED AND INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 15MPH THROUGH A BOAT YARD WITH MY HEATER ON HIGH (5) I SMELLED A HOT METALLIC ODOR, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FROM SOME WELDING BE DONE ON A STEEL BOAT. THEN MY HEATER QUIT. I TURNED IT DOWN TO 3 OR 4 AND IT RAN A LITTLE LONGER AND QUIT COMPLETELY. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED ON A TRAILBLAZER WEBSITE TO FIND INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THE BLOWER RESISTOR SPEED CONTROL UNIT WAS A COMMON CAUSE OF THIS TYPE FAILURE. UPON REMOVING THIS RESISTOR PACK I FOUND THE PLASTIC PLUG CONNECTION ON IT HAD GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED AND FUSED THE PLUG IN THE SOCKET. WHEN I DID FINALLY GET IT APART I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE CONNECTOR PINS HAD BURNED COMPLETELY OFF. INSULATION ON THREE OR FOUR WIRES HAD ALSO BEEN BURNED. LUCKILY THERE HAD BEEN NO MAJOR FIRE. *TR

THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON EVEN AFTER I HAD A TUNE UP. I HAD DIAGNOSTICS DONE AND THERE IS SOME TYPE OF FUEL MISFIRE. TWO WINTERS STRAIGHT I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING LINES BURSTING AND REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS, MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST STAYS AT ZERO. IF GM USES A LOT OF THE SAME PARTS TO MAKE MULTIPLE MODELS WHY HAS THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER NOT BEEN RECALLED? I WAS TOLD THE GM ENVOY HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND OTHER INNER WORKINGS AS MY TRAILBLAZER SO WHY WOULDN'T THEIR RECALLS APPLY TO MY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IF I MAY BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

DROVE TO AN APPOINTMENT, WHEN CAME OUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. CALLED FOR TOW. AFTER APPROX. 30 MINS. AND BEFORE TOW ARRIVED, VEHICLE STARTED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND MADE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE. NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO SHOP FOR SERVICE ENGINE DIED WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. MANAGED TO GET OFF ROAD AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO SHOP. IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED 6/1/2014. HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO SHOP. A SECOND IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO INQUIRE WHY 2005 TRAILBLAZER NOT INCLUDED IN IGNITION SWITCH RECALLS AND SEEK POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT OF SERVICE COSTS FOR RECURRING PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NHTSA AND REPORT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY CAR STARTED NOT WORKING A WEEK AGO.. IT WOULD SAY I WAS GOING 70 AND IN REALITY I WAS ONLY GOING 55. NOW IT STARTS OUT AT 110MPH WHEN I START DRIVING....MAKING IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING. I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 115,000

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WILL MALFUNCTION AND TURN ON AND OFF, AT RANDOM DRIVING SPEEDS UNDER MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRAILBLAZER EVEN AFTER THIS OCCURRED. JUST NOT AS OFTEN. IF THE HEATER WAS ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHORT THE HEATER WOULD STOP AND THEN TURN BACK ON. THE FAN TURNS ON AT RANDOM, FIRST IT TURNS ON WHEN DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FAN WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM TIMES WITH A HIGHER SPEED AND SOUND. I HAVE HAD THE INSPECTION COMPLETED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A MECHANIC RE-ASSURING THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME DUE TO COMPUTER ERROR AND IS A $500.00 FIX. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED AND BEEN REPORTED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM KENDAL MOTORS IN LEWISTON IDAHO. I FIND THAT THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO FIX THIS VEHICLE IS OVERWHELMING AND TO SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS UNDER 100.000 MILES IS FINANCIALLY DISTRESSING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE FUEL PUMP PORTION REMOVED AND FIXED TWICE, I HAD TO PURCHASE A LOCKING CAP. THE STEREO REPEATEDLY JAMS WITH NEW CD'S EVEN. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS MY GAS GAUGE READS 0. AFTER DRIVING 40 - 80 MI. IT SLOWLY COMES BACK, BUT READS INCORRECTLY FOR A FEW MILES. BY THE TIME ITS NEARING 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK IS SEEMS OK. I REALLY THINK ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT QUITS ALTOGETHER. I DON'T TRUST AND USE MY ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE MY GAS LEVEL. *TR

Mileage: 107,000

FIRST MY TEMP GAUGE STARTED READING INCORRECTLY. THE NEEDLE WOULD POINT WAY OUTSIDE THE NORMAL RANGE OF THE GAUGE, OFTEN STRAIGHT DOWNWARD. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. AT A FULL STOP IT SAYS I'M GOING BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR (SEVERAL REPAIRS PER WEEK) AND YET THERE'S NO RECALL? *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT COMPLETELY HAS GONE DEAD AND DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. MY TRAILBLAZER ALSO HAS STALLED IF STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MORE THAN ONCE. *TR

WHILE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO 4X4 HI, LO, OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSFER CASE NEVER DOES FULLY PUT IT INTO 4X4. WHILE DRIVING, THE DIM LIGHTS TURN COMPLETELY OFF. THE BRIGHTS WORK, BUT THE DIMS DO NOT. THESE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF OR A PROPER BUMP IS HIT. THE HEATER BLOWER IN THE FRONT SOMETIMES WILL NIT COME ON. THE BACK WILL BE BLOWING, NOT THE FRONT. ALSO IF A BUMP IS HIT IMPROPERLY, THE BACK SPEAKERS WILL START BUZZING. *TR

Mileage: 87,000

MULTIPLE TIMES MY TRAILBLAZER HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM IN A STOPPED POSITION. WHETHER IT IS AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST STOPPING IN GENERAL. IT TAKES A MINUTE AND THEN RESTARTS. *JS IT HAS ALSO MULTIPLE TIMES LOST HEAD LIGHTS. THE LAST TIME WAS AT 9PM WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND THE ONLY WAY MY LIGHTS WOULD WORK WAS IF I HELD MY HIGH BEAMS ON.

THE SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORKS. AS THE WEATHER GETS COLDER, THE NEEDLE WILL GET STUCK IN THE 90-100 RANGE AND NOT RESET WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AS THE WINTER APPROACHES. IN THE SUMMER THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO WORK FINE. YEARS AGO THE NEEDLE ON THE OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS GOING TO COST OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SO DECIDED AGAINST THAT SINCE I CHANGE THE OIL REGULARLY. THE SPEEDOMETER IS A NECESSITY AND THE OCCURRING DEFECT SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. WHY ISN'T THIS BEING ADDRESSED? *TR

ENGINE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IN 2005 ($3,000 IN REPAIR...ACCORDING TO DEALER IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOT A RECALL). GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER BOTH STOPPED WORKING ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. DESPITE KNOWN ISSUES, GM STILL WANTED US TO PAY HALF THE COST OF REPAIR. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPAIRED, GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING. ALSO, THE HEATER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND WE CHANGE HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE OF SOME SHORT IN THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL. *TR

SPEED CONTROL. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED. 10 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR OVER & EVEN MORE AT TIMES. NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST CAR IS GOING. SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS UNDER. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING. NEVER KNOWING HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING. CHEVROLET ALSO REPLACED FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. REAR WIPER HAS NOT WORKED FOR YEARS. TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX. VERY UNSAFE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW. THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS. BOUGHT NEW. VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

ON OR ABOUT THIS DATE MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXPERIENCED AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE DURING A SNOW STORM. BOTH POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES BECAME IN OPERATIVE AND THE WINDOWS OPENED AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I ALSO ENCOUNTERED AN ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE, AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING THE SWITCHES FUNCTIONED AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT IN THE GM RECALL ON 6-30-14, THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS IN THE RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH CAN OVERHEAT AND MALFUNCTION ALSO MENTIONED IS THE KEY SWITCH PROBLEM GM HAD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND BEEN TOLD THAT WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL RECALL FROM GM THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE WAS IN FACT A RECALL BUT IT SEEMS IT WAS "SWEPT UNDER THE RUG". HERE IS THE REFERENCE LIST I FOUND: CURRENTLY, THE FOLLOWING LIST OF VEHICLES ARE ALL SUBJECT TO THE GM RECALLS ON IGNITION SWITCHES: 1997-2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU 1998-2002 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE 1999-2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO 1999-2005 PONTIAC GRAND AM 2000-05 CHEVROLET IMPALA AND MONTE CARLO 2004-08 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 2003-14 CADILLAC CTS 2004-06 CADILLAC SRX 2011-14 CHEVROLET CRUZE; 2012-14 CHEVROLET SONIC 2013-14 CHEVROLET TRAX, BUICK ENCORE AND VERANO 2014 CHEVROLET CAMARO AND IMPALA, BUICK REGAL, CADILLAC XTS 2007-11 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD, GMC SIERRA HD EQUIPPED WITH AN AUXILIARY BATTERY 2005-07 BUICK RAINIER, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, GMC ENVOY, ISUZU ASCENDER, SAAB 9-7X 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT, GMC ENVOY XL YET GM HAS FAILED TO ACT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT CAN BE DONE?? *TR

THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL UP BY THEMSELVES, ONE OF MY DOGS ALMOST GOT HIS HEAD STUCK IN THE BACK WINDOW, ALSO SEAT HEATER WOULD COME ON AND SWITCH FROM HIGH TO MED. TO LOW, THEN BACK TO HIGH. I HAD IT REPAIRED, COST WAS $413.00 I'M HEARING THE SAME TROUBLE HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH THE 2006 - 2007 MODELS AND SOME HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. IS THE NEW PART GOING TO DO THE SAME? CAN I RECOVER ANY OF THE COST? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE END OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES. THE FIRST THING TO GO WAS THE GAS GAUGE, ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRAIL BLAZER THE NEEDLE WENT SOUTH. IT ACTUALLY HOVERS AROUND 6 0 ' CLOCK. THEN A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO DRIVING HOME I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, I TOOK IT WITH THE HAND BUTTON AND LOOKED DOWN AND THE NEEDLE NEVER MOVED, IT WAS STUCK AT 65. IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS AND THE NEEDLE HAS MOVED BUT THE WRONG WAY, TO THE RIGHT GOING UP 75, 80, 90, THEN BACK DOWN TO 65 AND STAYING THERE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING THE GAS GAUGE AND I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT A PRICE OF 1200.00, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, CHEVROLET SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

Mileage: 103,000

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON FLORENCE BLVD MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE OIL GAUGE WASNT REGISTERING BUT THE OTHERS WERE WORKING OK. NOW ALL OF THEM DO NOT WORK EXCEPT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE ONE OR TWO OF THEM MIGHT START WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN THEY WILL STOP WORKING. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY LET FAULTY PRODUCTS GO THRU QC NOW THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER WAS VISITING MY PARENTS IN VIRGINIA AND I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO GO AROUND A CURVE AND THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T TURN. I LOOKED AY MY DAUGHTER AND SAID "OH _ _ _ _" AND SHE ASK ME WHAT 'S WRONG? I SAID THE STEERING DIDN'T TURN AND IT WASN'T BUT SECONDS LATER, WE SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND WE ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES AND ENDED UP ON THE ROOF. I IMMEDIATELY WENT UNCONSCIOUS BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT. I HAD A BIG GASH ON MY HEAD AND WAS BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND I WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING BECAUSE BOTH OF MY LUNGS WERE PUNCTURED. ALL THE WINDOWS BURST OUT SO MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO ASK SOMEONE FOR HELP BUT MY SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE SO THERE WAS AN ISSUE GETTING ME OUT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT SOMEONE THAT STOPPED HAD A POCKET KNIFE AND CUT THE SEATBELT TO GET ME OUT. I HAD A BAD CONCUSSION AND I KEPT GOING IN AND OUT . I HAD THREE BROKEN RIBS, THREE PELVIC FRACTURES, A BAD CONTUSION ON MY ELBOW AND I STILL HAVE A SWOLLEN KNOT ABOUT TWO AND A HALF INCHES ON MY LEFT LEG. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BACK AND I AM IN CONSTANT PAIN AND ON IMPACT, MY SEAT BELT JERKED AND CAUGHT MY BREAST AND I NOW HAVE FIVE CYST WITH THE LARGEST ONE BEING ONE INCH AND THEY ARE VERY PAINFUL.

THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS AFTER FILLING TANK - IT READS EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AND INTERMITTENTLY THEREAFTER AT ANY FUEL LEVEL. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR TRAVELING ANY LONG DISTANCE AS YOU ARE NOT QUITE SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS AVAILABLE OR IF IT WILL SHUT DOWN ON ME DURING A DIFFICULT SITUATION. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK IT AND THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE MODELS TO GM. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS I TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY - I FEEL THAT THIS PUTS ME IN HARMS WAY.

RUBBING ON ANOTHER LINE & PINHOLE THERE NOW - WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY MY A/C WAS NOT WORKING ON DRIVER SIDE, BUT WORKING ON THE PASS SIDE. HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD AN ACCIDENT? HAVE ANOTHER (?)... IF GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT A PROBLEM FOR YRS ON SEVERAL MODELS: VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ON INTERNET BY HUNDREDS (IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS) - WHY WON'T NHTSA MAKE GM DO SOMETHING? PROBLEM = SPEED GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, & RADIO ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP WORKING ONE DAY. THEN SOME DAYS THEY ALL WORK, SOME DAYS ONLY 1 WORK, SOME DAYS 2 WORK???

CLUSTER GAUGES ARE GOING OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER QUICK WORKING A FEW YEARS AGO AND IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST ON A DAILY BASIS. IT EITHER INDICATES A LESSER OR GREATER SPEED THAN ACTUAL OR JUST FALLS TO POINT STRAIGHT DOWN. I HAVE BEEN USING A MOUNTED GPS TO INDICATE SPEED. INITIAL REPAIR COST ESTIMATES WERE $500+ FOR THE PARTS SINCE THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER. WITH LABOR, THE ESTIMATE WAS IN EXCESS OF $800. FUEL GAUGE IS NOW INOPERATIVE OR INTERMITTENT. WHEN I FILL THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE READS WAY PAST THE FULL LINE. HAVING TO RELY OF THE FUEL TO EMPTY AND THE FUEL USED COMPUTER INFORMATION ALONG WITH THE TRIP METER TO ESTIMATE FUEL. RECEIVED ANOTHER ESTIMATE FOR A MECHANIC TO PULL THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND REBUILD EACH INDIVIDUAL GAUGE MOTOR FOR AN ESTIMATE OF $500.

SIR/ MA'AM, I NOTICED RECENTLY IN THE NEWS THAT SEVERAL GM PRODUCT LINES HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND/OR CUT OUT. I IMPLORE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE TRAILBLAZERS. I EMAILED GM WHILE I WAS DEPLOYED (2012) AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND SAYING THAT IT IS NOT A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, AS EXPECTED. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WOULD SHOW THAT A LOT OF OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE BAD IGNITION SWITCHES/ ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AT ALL SPEEDS. MY WIFE LOST POWER GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN ALONG WITH HER. THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE, ON ONE OCCASION. GRANTED, I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, IT STILL OCCURS AT RANDOM AND AT ALL SPEEDS. GM TELLS ME TO GO TO A DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I REFUSE TO PAY GM ANY MONEY TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP RIP ME OFF FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS FLAWED AND REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME FAULTY OEM STYLE/MODEL NUMBER. I HAVE RAN A SCAN TOOL LOOKING FOR CODES AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY. LIKE STATED PREVIOUSLY, THIS IS ANOTHER LINE OF GM THAT IS PLAGUED WITH IGNITION AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT GM REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF. THE MILEAGE I HAVE ENTERED IS APPROXIMATE. I CANNOT REMEMBER EXACT NUMBERS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS, INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS COASTED TO IT'S FINAL DESTINATION AFTER LOSING POWER, IT STARTS UP AND DRIVES NORMAL AGAIN AFTER IT IS PUT BACK INTO PARK. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, INDICATING A PROBLEM OR NEED OF SERVICING. AGAIN, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PRODUCT LINE AS I KNOW THE RESULT(S) WILL SHOW THAT GM IS LIABLE AND I DON'T WANT ANY FATALITIES BECAUSE NOBODY SPOKE UP ABOUT IT. *TR

NOW MY SPEEDOMETER WORKS MOST TIMES BUT AFTER DRIVING A DISTANCE IT DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND STARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES IT STARTS TO WORK AGAIN.

MOST RECENTLY MY SPEEDOMETER WILL OCCASIONALLY QUIT WORKING OR REGISTER THE WRONG SPEED. I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN. ALSO, MY TACHOMETER GOES WAY UP WHEN I BEGIN DRIVING AND THE CAR SEEMS TO REV WAY UP BEFORE IT CHANGES GEARS AND JERKS INTO GEAR. I QUESTIONED A MECHANIC ABOUT THIS, THINKING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH IT ISN'T. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH POWER. I HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD ISSUES WITH THIS TRAILBLAZER EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I ALSO OWNED A BLAZER AT ONE TIME AND ALSO HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY, BUT NEVER AGAIN! *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER I FILL THE TANK WITH FUEL. AFTER DRIVING SOME DURATION OF TIME THE TANK WILL ONLY READ A QUARTER OF A TANK FULL. I FIND THIS TO BE A HAZARD BECAUSE I TRAVEL FOR LONG DISTANCE TRIPS AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET AN ACCURATE READING OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS IN YOUR TANK. I HAVE READ THIS TO BE AN ISSUE ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT WEBSITES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND I BELIEVE THAT GMC SHOULD OFFER TO PAY FULL PRICE AND FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. *JS

TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY. SPEEDOMETER NOW ACTING PROPERLY BUT TACH HAS NEVER FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY SINCE. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF THESE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UNITS THAT ARE FAILING AND EVENTUALLY ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS WITHIN THE CLUSTER ARE LIKELY TO BREAK. IN FACT, A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORCED GENERAL MOTORS TO RECALL/REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ON SILVERADO PICKUPS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHEN I CONTACTED GM ABOUT WORKING WITH ME TO REPLACE THE FAILING CLUSTER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND TO BASICALLY "POUND SAND." WITH SO MANY DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF FAILURE AND GM'S NOW DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF AVOID RECALLS EVEN AT THE COST OF HUMAN LIFE I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR THE NHTSA TO STEP UP AND BRING PRESSURE ON GM TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN REBUFFED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO HAVE THE AUTOMAKER ACCEPT ITS PROPER RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING INADEQUATE OR FAULTY MATERIALS. *TR

SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE APPROX 5 YEARS AGO I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES ABOUT A YEAR LATER. IT STARTED WITH MY SPEED ODOMETER GAUGE STOPPED WORKING THEN OVER THAT FOLLOWING YEAR EVENTUALLY ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. MY BREAK LIGHTS WILL WORK OFF AND ON, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS WORKS OFF AND ON, MY BLOWER STOPS WORKING WHEN EVER IT FEELS, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED MY THROTTLE ON HAS PEDAL NEVER CLOSES SO I AVERAGE 9 MILES PER GALLON IN GAS MILEAGE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DECIDE WHEN TO WORK AND NOT, AND THE LOCKS ON THEIR ON CAUSING ME TO GET LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR AT TIMES. THIS TO ME IS CLEARLY A ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND HAVE SPOKE TO GM BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TRADE THE VEHICLE IN TO GET A SAFER VEHICLE BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS IT. EITHER WAY I WORRY OF THE SAFETY FOR ANYONE IN THIS VEHICLES AND THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE STREETS.

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO "E" AND THE LOW FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. NOW WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK, THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND AFTER I DRIVE ABOUT 20-30 MILES IT WILL MOVE UP TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK BUT NO HIGHER AND SOMETIMES IT WILL STILL MOVE BACK TO EMPTY THAT SLOWLY MOVE BACK UP. ALSO SOMETIMES THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WILL DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE IDLING OR IN PARK AND THE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR WILL APPEAR, BUT AS SOON AS THE GAS IS PRESSED, THE PRESSURE WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO, ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, THE KEYLESS ENTRY/ALARM/BACK LIFTGATE LOCK AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHT ALL STOPPED WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLY A GROUNDING WIRE ISSUE BUT NOT DEFINITIVE. NOW MY LIFTGATE WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WE NOTICED THE WE WERE BEING PASSED EXCESSIVELY, WE LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND SAW THAT WE WERE DOING SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. OUT OF CURIOSITY WE CHECKED OUR SPEED AGAINST OUR GPS / SMART PHONE AND SAW THAT WE WERE DOING 30 MPH UNDER THE SPEED BEING REPORTED BY OUR SPEEDOMETER. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET WE FOUND THAT 100'S IF NOT 1000'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OR EVEN SOMETIMES IN REVERSE WHERE IT STATES THAT THEY ARE DOING 120 MPH WHEN THEY ARE ONLY DOING A FRACTION OF THAT. IN ADDITION WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS SAME PART ON OTHER GM VEHICLES FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON BUT THE TRAILBLAZER WAS EXCLUDED FOR WHATEVER REASON.

STARTING UP MY CAR LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING,I WENT TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE WAS A HESITATION THEN IT STOPPED AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING.FROM THAT POINT FORWARD I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN OR UP AND LOST ALL FUNCTIONS FROM THAT CONTACT PAD....IN LOOKING THRU THE VARIES RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE IN 2006,2007. IF THIS RECALL INITIATED WITH THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 08/12, WHY IS THIS MODEL NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? WHY WILL I HAVE TO PAY THE $400 IN REPAIRS SOMEHOW THIS DOESN'T SEEM ETHICAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER...I AM SURE I AM PREACHING TO THE CHOIR BUT MAYBE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH INCITE AS TO THE LOGIC!!!!!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINY STATE WITH THE DRIVER'S WINDOW PARTIALLY CRACKED. WATER BEGAN DRIPPING IN ONTO THE DRIVER WINDOW CONTROL PANEL, SO I CLOSED THE WINDOW. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WENT TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORKED. THERE WAS A FAINT ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. ALL FOUR WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE PANEL WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE HEATED SEAT BUTTONS. THE DOOR LOCK STILL FUNCTIONED AS WELL AS THE WINDOW LOCK OUT BUTTON. I'M JUST GLAD THIS HAPPENED WITH THE WINDOW UP. SWAPPING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL ALLOWS YOU TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOW, SO IT IS THE CONTROL PANEL THAT IS DEFECTIVE. I SEE THAT THE 2006 AND 2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS DUE TO FIRES, BUT NO RECALL EXISTS FOR THE 2005 FIRES AS FIRES HAVEN'T BEEN REPORTED YET. *TR

SATURDAY NIGHT (03/1/14) ON OUR WAY HOME IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY, THE VISIBILITY WAS LOW AND OUR WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP AND THE FRONT HEATER BLOWER WENT OFF ON OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WHILE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER WE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T SEE THROUGH OUR FOGGED UP WINDOWS.. AFTER WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF THE BLOWER MOTOR CAME ON AND CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, SO WE RE-STARTED THE CAR, AND THE BLOWER WENT OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON... THEN TODAY I WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER CAME ON. I DROVE TO THE STORE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN SO I RE-STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED. WHEN I RE-ENTERED THE CAR TO GO HOME THE BLOWER ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ANY SPEED. SO I FIGURED IF I DIDN'T HAVE HEAT AT LEAST I HAD A HEATED SEAT BUT AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINS THE SEAT PART OF THE SEAT GOT SO HOT IT WAS BURNING MY BUTT AND THIGHS SO I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF. THEN ABOUT 1/2 HOME THE BLOWER JUST STARTED BLOWING AGAIN, I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE AGAIN CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SO AGAIN I PUT THE KEY IN STARTED THE CAR THEN TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE MOTOR STOPPED. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD/WINDOWS IN THESE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS< PLUS NOT HAVING HEAT IN BELOW ZERO TEMPS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AS WELL. ( SINCE WE LIVE IN SUCH A COLD SNOWY STATE). *TR

SOMETIMES, ITS 10, 20, 30, ETC. I HAVE TRIED DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND THAT HELPS AS A TEMP FIX.

I WENT INTO TOWN TO GRAB DINNER AND AS I AM DRIVING ALONG, MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINED ON, WERE THE ORANGE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS. I FRANTICALLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHT KNOB ON AN OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, HOWEVER IT WAS NIGHT TIME AND I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I ENDED UP PULLING OVER TO THE GRAVEL SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. NOW I AM STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TIME, WITH NO WORKING HEADLIGHTS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT, TAPPED THE HEADLIGHTS AND LOOKED FOR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER. UPON STARTING THE CAR AGAIN, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TURNED ON A VACUUM CLEANER. THE NOISE PITCHED UP FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE PITCHING BACK DOWN. AFTER RE-STARTING THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MOVED FROM ITS NORMAL POSITION AT "12 O'CLOCK" TO AN ABNORMAL "6 O'CLOCK". I TRIED TO CALL ONSTAR FOR A VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC, HOWEVER NOW MY RADIO WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. I TRIED THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN, AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT TURN ON. I TURNED ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND PROCEEDED BACK HOME. WHILE EN ROUTE MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 10MPH OVER MY ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 10MPH. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE AS A COINCIDENCE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE AT NIGHT, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO MONITOR MY SPEED ALL WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE MOTORISTS WHO WERE BLINDED BY MY HIGH BEAMS ON THE WAY BACK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. IT WORKS WHEN YOU START THE CAR, THEN WHEN STOPS ARE MADE, IT STOPS WORKING ALTOGETHER AND GOES TO ZERO. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS FAULTY PART YEARS AGO. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED THE SERVICE PLACE SAID IT WAS A CLUSTER THAT WOULD COST OVER $500 TO GET FIXED. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF TS CUSTOMERS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT WORK THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AT ALL! OUT OF THE BLUE THIS STOPPED WORKING. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE 2006-2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED NOT THE 2005! REALLY, THIS CAR IS "CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE WHICH USES SALT TO CLEAR THE ROADS" (DIRECT QUOTE FROM GENERAL MOTORS AND ISUZU RECALL 258,000 SUVS, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, AUGUST 19, 2012) SINCE 12/2005 WHICH IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FIRE "YET" BUT I HAVE THE "EXACT" PROBLEM WHICH AROSE BEFORE THESE VEHICLES DID CATCH FIRE, MINE IS NOT RECALLED? NOT ONLY WAS THE TRANSMISSION RECALLED IN 2008, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE "BLOWER MOTOR" NOT WORKING WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEAT. YOU COULD ONLY TURN ON THE HEAT TO NO. 4. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE ON 1/10/06, 1/30/06, 2/7/06 AND 2/17/06 WHICH WAS NOT EVEN 2 MO. AFTER PURCHASING SAID VEHICLE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IN 11/06 THE "FUEL PUMP MODULE" WAS REPLACED AND COVERED "ONLY" BECAUSE I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY THE $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE, BECAUSE I HAD GAS BUT IT WAS NOT REGISTERING. AGAIN, I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN CALLING GM ON 7/24/13 ABOUT THE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL, I NOW FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" FOR THE "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR". THIS IS COVERED UNTIL 7/24/14, PER GM (866-694-6546), UNLESS YOU HAVE MORE THAN 120,000 SOMETHING MILES. WAS NOT SURE OF THE MILEAGE EXACTLY SINCE MINE IS BELOW THAT FIGURE. THE WINDOW SWITCH IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN "ALL YEARS" OF THIS VEHICLE. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST REV UP AND WANT TO TAKE OFF. I GUESS THIS ISN'T A "BIG DEAL" EITHER. YOU CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE RADIO TO DISTRACT YOU WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS GOING ON BECAUSE THE RADIO ONLY COMES OUT OF "ONE" SPEAKER! GO FIGURE, IT IS GM! *TR

AFTER THE THIRD TIME I REPLACED THE SAME HEADLIGHT MY MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE FUSE AND STATED THAT IT SEEMS THERE IS A SURGE OF POWER THAT CAUSES THE FUSES TO BLOW. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT MY HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BLINK ON THEIR OWN EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WE DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MID 2000 MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. I CONTACTED GM TO MAKE THEM AWARE WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A, "SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE". I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY DOOR ELECTRONICS. YOU CAN HEAR THE POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AS IF THEY ARE BEING ENGAGED WITHOUT BEING OPERATED. THE SPEAKERS IN THE DOORS DO NOT WORK AFTER IT RAINS OR IN VERY HUMID CONDITIONS. THE POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCK BUTTON LIGHTS WORK ON AND OFF AND BLINK. THE DOOR/KEY CHIME RARELY WORKS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS MODEL. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL STARTING WITH 2006 MODELS WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I REALLY BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ISOLATED TO THE ELECTRONICS IN THE DOOR, BUT THE OVERALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES.

MY SPEEDOMETER TELLS THE SPEED PLUS OR MINUS 40MPH. MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS STUCK AT AROUND 210PSI. TODAY, I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL TANK NOW READS 150% FULL, AND THE VOLTAGE IS DOWN TO 9V. THIS IS ALL DUE TO A DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT GM HAD A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED ON SEVERAL OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES, BUT DENIED THE TRAILBLAZER, DUE TO LACK OF COMPLAINTS. CONSIDER THIS A COMPLAINT. UNDOUBTEDLY, GM IS HOPING THE MILEAGE RUNS OVER 70,000 SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST PART OF THEIR DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP. CONSIDER HOW MANY TRAILBLAZERS ARE ZIPPING DOWN THE ROAD, UNAWARE OF THIS DEFECT... PERHAPS GOING ONLY 10-20 MPH OVER THE LIMIT. LACK OF COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA IS A POOR EXCUSE TO NOT RECALL, FIX AND/OR VERIFY THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS NOT AN ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY USING A GPS SMARTPHONE AS A SPEEDOMETER, BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT IS LESS ACCURATE THAN IDEAL. A YOUNG FRIEND HOUSESITTING MY DOG DROVE MY CAR ONCE, ON A BAD SNOW DAY, AND GOT A SPEEDING TICKET, AS HE WAS UNAWARE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED. I SUGGEST GM BE MADE TO FIX IT. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING TANK, WON'T RESET ITSELF AFTER FUELING. BACK HATCH LOCK IS STUCK IN LOCK AND HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE.

EVEN IF THIS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED IT SADLY AS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CHEVY DOES NOT WANT TO COME TO TERMS WITH. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES OUT AND IN AND READS INCORRECTLY AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE GAUGES AT RANDOM POINTS IN TIME. THE HEATING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACES AND THE ALTERNATOR CONSISTENTLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVEN WHEN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR IS MAINTAINED.

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATE THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL GAUGE STARTING ACTING ERRATIC WAS IN 2007. THE DEALER INFORMED HIS WIFE, THE VEHICLE HAD RAN OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE CONSUMER STATED HE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE AN ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LATEST PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS WAS THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SUSTAIN AN IDLE, BECAUSE OF THE ERRATIC FUEL PRESSURE (FUEL PUMP). THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS INOPERATIVE.

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM TO TRAILBLAZERS THAT GM IS IGNORING. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. SO I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I PLACE MINE, MY KIDS AND PASSENGERS' LIVES & SAFETY INTO JEOPARDY EVERY TIME WE GET IN TO DRIVE/RIDE. I ONLY HAVE 78K MILES AND 1YR OF CAR PYMNTS LEFT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN AND I WAS A DIEHARD CHEVY AND "BUY AMERICAN" CONSUMER. THIS VEHICLE IS A PIECE OF JUNK. MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL BE ANY VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE, WHOEVER THE MANUFACTURER MAY BE. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO HELP??? *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY SUV, AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED DROPPING WITHIN A MINUTES TIME, TO 3/4 TANK, 1/2 TANK, 1/4 TANK, THEN THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND STATED I WAS ON EMPTY. I DIDN'T SMELL GASOLINE, BUT THE GAUGE THEN STARTED GOING BACK UP, THEN DOWN AND WENT HAYWIRE. AFTER SOME OF THE GAS WAS USED, IT WENT BACK UP TO ALMOST FULL, BUT AFTER A BIT, IT DROPPED BACK DOWN TO HALF TANK AGAIN. EVERY SUBSEQUENT TIME I FILL UP, THE GAUGE DOES THE SAME THING. ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS IS THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM AND GET BRIGHTER. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ABOUT THE SAME THING. *TR

I PURCHASED MY '05 TRAILBLAZER NEW OFF THE LOT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. COUPLE YEARS LATER MY OIL & GAS GAGE STOPPED WORKING. I BASED MY SPEED OFF MY RPM & CALCULATE MY GAS MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL UP. NOW MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE DIMMING & I'VE NOTICED ON MANY OCCASIONS MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER...I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE & THE WATER PUMP TWICE. NOW WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THIS OTHER LITTLE CHK GAGE LIGHT COMES ON, I DON'T KNOW IF A MALFUNCTION OF IF SOMETHING IS TRULY WRONG. NOW IT'S RUNNING ROUGH, ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO CUT OFF. THEY HAVE CHECKED ALL THAT THEY CAN BUT BECAUSE THE CHK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON, THERE'S NO WAY FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THE MECHANIC RIDES WITH ME OF COURSE THE CAR WON'T DO IT...AND ALTHOUGH, THESE ARE SEPARATE ISSUES I CAN'T WONDER IF REPLACING THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED THE SAME SYSTEM AS THE DASHBOARD. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DIFFER MECHANICS IT WOULD COST UP TO $600 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM. BUT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS, MANY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THIS PROBLEM COULD OR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL & IF NOT, WHY? IF YOU VIEW THE COMPLAINTS WHY NOT LOOK INTO THE VERY PRESENT & PERSISTENT PROBLEM! ITS VERY FRUSTRATING & AGGRAVATING TO PLAY A GUESSING GAME WHEN YOUR UP & DOWN A HIGHWAY DAILY! NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY HAZARD! SURELY, YOUR COMPANY ISN'T SO MONEY HUNGRY THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU PRODUCT & OFFER TO PAY FOR SOME OR ALL THE COSTS TO REPAIR! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 & I WAS BLESSED ENOUGH TO PAY MY CAR OFF A YEAR AGO BUT I'VE PAID MORE IN REPAIR COSTS & STRESSING WHETHER OR NOT I'LL MAKE IT SAFELY TO & FROM MY DESTINATION! I NEVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH MY GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE. I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR VEHICLE... *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GO CRAZY JUMPING AROUND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED OFF READING FINE THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT READ THAT I WAS GOING 120MPH BY THE TIME I GOT HOME IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL HAD TO GUESS MY SPEED THEN ABOUT A TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN SAME DAY IT WENT HAYWIRE AGAIN AND NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY DRAINING I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL PLACES TO GET IT CHECK OUT ALL THAT CAN BE FOUND OUT IS THAT SOMETHING IS STAYING ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I CAN GO DAYS, WEEKS WITHOUT THE PROBLEM JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC SHOP. BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD AND WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE AC DELCO 6 YR BATTERY. MECHANIC CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND EVERYTHING TESTED THE SAME. PUT OLD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BACK IN, AS BATTERY HE CHARGED WAS HOLDING THE CHARGE OK. COULD NOT LOCATE SOURCE OF PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY, THE DASH LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, NOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. AS I DROVE ALONG THE HIGHWAY, THE DASHLIGHTS BLINKED AND THEN STAYED ON. CEILING LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THE ALTERNATOR SHOWS THAT IT IS CHARGING VERY HARD. ACCORDING TO OTHER INCIDENTS REPORTED ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM, BUT IN ANY CASE, SHOWS SLOW LEAK OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT THAT SLOWLY DRAINS THE BATTERY 24/7, UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DEAD. WHY IS NO RECALL ISSUED MAKING GENERAL MOTORS RESPONSIBLE TO FIND AND FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS OF 2005 TRAILBLAZERS. I SPENT $130.00 AT THE MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, MUCH LESS FIX IT. MY VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME, AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS MALFUNCTION OTHER THAN FAULTY GM PART SOMEWHERE. OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TOLD ME THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO NAIL IT DOWN. THEY REFERENCE A VEHICLE WHICH THEY KEPT FOR TWO WEEKS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF A "WON'T START" COMPLAINT, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SOME DAYS AND NOT OTHER DAYS WITH NO PATTERN TO THE MALFUNCTION. *TR

2005 CHEVERLOT TRAILBLAZER HAS HAD AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2004 WITH STALLING OUT. HOWEVER OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE OF NO START... EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER IGNITION SWITCH, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, EXHAUST, ETC.... LAST RESULT WAS THE PCM POWERTRAIN MODULE SUPPOSEDLY THE BRAINS OF THE CAR. HOWEVER THE SAME DAY IT STALLED AGAIN, MOST RECENTLY MY DEALERSHIP TOOK IT FOR A WEEK AND SAID THEY COULD NOT REDUPLICATE ISSUE. SO THERE AGAIN I AM AT THE SAME PLACE WHERE THE CAR WILL BE FINE FOR WEEKS THEN DO A NO START UNTILL AFTER SERVERAL ATTEMPTS AND SMELL OF GAS FINALLY THE CAR WILL START.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER DIED AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP ON ME. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK WHAT SO EVER. AND I JUST HAD BRAND NEW BRAKES PUT ON A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT KEPT GOING. I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. IT TOOK ME THREE TURNS ONTO THREE DIFFERENT STREETS BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. AND MY BACK WHEELS WERE MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND SMELLED REALLY BAD WHEN I GOT OUT. I ALWAYS KEEP A GAS CAN IN THE BACK IN CASE I EVER RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THE GAUGE NOT WORKING. AND MIND YOU I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE A YEAR. GM SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED.

AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS BLOWER MOTOR PROBLEM IS VERY POPULAR AMONGST THESE VEHICLES. ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE DASH HASN'T WORKED IN ABOUT 3 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING THE, WINDOW SWITCH BEGAN TO SMOKE SO I PHYSICALLY REMOVED THE SWITCH AND HAVE SINCE NOT HAD POWER WINDOW ACCESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR. THE COST TO REPLACE WAS TOO GREAT AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRIORITY LIST. MORE RECENTLY, MAYBE 2 MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER SIDE SWITCH SHOWED SIGNS OF THE SAME RESULTS AFTER A SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRONICS AND HEAT TO THE TOUCH SO I SIMPLY UNPLUGGED THE SWITCH ALL TOGETHER. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE SWITCHES IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH CHEVROLET IN THE PAST WITH COMPLAINTS SO I FIGURED I WOULD WAIT UNTIL I HAD A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY TO REPLACE THESE SWITCHES. ON THE NEWS TODAY I HEARD THE END OF A REPORT AND ONLY CAUGHT THE WORDS GM AND WINDOW SWITCHES SO I CAME HOME AND SEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS SO ARTICLES INVOLVING 2006 MODELS. THAT IS HOW I CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE. I WOULD VERY MUCH HATE TO FIND OUT THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS FURTHER THAN 2006. AN UNRELATED PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS QUITE UNNERVING, WAS THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT @ 65 MPH APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. THE FIXTURE BECAME UN ATTACHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WAS "FLAPPING" OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ONLY FOR A MATTER OF TIME, I'M SURE. LUCKILY OUR FAMILY WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FAMILY AND THEY NOTIFIED US BY CELL PHONE AND WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE FIXTURE WITHOUT INCIDENT ON THE SHOULDER. IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITHOUT DOUBT HAD IT COME COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD US WE WERE OUT OF OUR WARRANTY AND WERE ON OUR OWN.

NEARLY EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (APRIL 2008) AND WHILE TRAVELING FROM TENNESSEE TO NEW YORK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE RPM, ODOMETER, SPEED, FUEL GAUGE, OIL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE, ETC. COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. WHILE TRAVELING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ON I-90 E THE DRIVER HAD NO INDICATION OF THE VEHICLE SPEED. WHEN SHIFTING FROM THE LEFT PASSING LANE TO THE NEAREST MIDDLE LANE A NY STATE TROOPER CLOCKED THE VEHICLE SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 90+ MILES PER HOUR. THE DRIVER WAS SIGHTED WITH A SPEEDING TICKET DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE VEHICLE OWNER HAD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED AT A COST OF MORE THAN $500. HOWEVER, SOON AFTER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REPLACED THE GAS SENSOR STOPPED WORKING. THE OWNER COMPLAINED TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE OWNER CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE INTERNET BUT FOUND MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME AND NO RECALL INFORMATION. SINCE THE GAS SENSOR/GAUGE/FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE TIMES. ONCE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10:00 P.M. ON A DARK WINDING ROAD. ANOTHER TIME ON A VERY BUSY 4-LANE THOROUGH FARE THE VEHICLE OWNERS WITH A PASSENGER RAN OUT OF GAS AT A STOP LIGHT. MOST RECENTLY WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE PURCHASED AT LEAST 3 NEW GAS CANS SINCE WE CANNOT TELL WITH THE VEHICLE IS FULL OF GAS OR NOT. WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING AND THE OWNERS CANNOT TELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING LOW ON FUEL SINCE THE "LOW GAS" FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON MOST OF THE TIME OR THE GAS GAUGE RARELY MOVES PASSED "E". THE OWNERS WERE QUOTED THAT THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $500+. *JB

THE OWNER CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE INTERNET BUT FOUND MORE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO MANUFACTURE RECALL OR DATA ON EITHER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OR GAS SENOR/GAUGE. SINCE THE GAS SENSOR/GAUGE/FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE TIMES. 1). A FRIDAY NIGHT AT 10:00 P.M. ON A DARK WINDING ROAD; 2). ON A VERY BUSY 4-LANE THOROUGH FARE BOTH VEHICLE OWNERS AND A PASSENGER RAN OUT OF GAS AT A STOP LIGHT; 3). MOST RECENTLY WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-WEEKS AGO. THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL OR RUNNING LOW ON FUEL BECAUSE THE "LOW GAS" FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON MOST OF THE TIME OR WHEN THE OWNERS DO FILL-UP THE TANK THE GAS GAUGE REMAINS "E". THE OWNERS WERE QUOTED THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD BE UPWARDS OF $500+.

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE OWNERS NOTICED THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. THE OWNERS IMMEDIATELY RETURN THE CAR TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS.

WHILE LISTENING TO THE RADIO AT ANY VOLUME (LOW, MEDIUM OR HIGH) A HIGH PITCH, FREQUENCY OR REVERBERATION WOULD HAPPEN. THIS IS ONLY WHEN THE RADIO IS PLAYED, NOT WHEN LISTENING TO CD'S.

LIKE MANY PEOPLE MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SEVERAL ISSUES REGARDING THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL.

SPEEDOMETER ,TACHOMETER, AND OIL PRESSURE ) STARTING WORKING AGAIN HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE READINGS WERE INACCURATE. AFTER SOME TIME ELAPSED (THIS YEAR - 2012) THE TACHOMETER AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY.

THE SPEEDOMETER AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WILL GO HAYWIRE. WILL READ OVER OR UNDER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT YOU DO NOT NOTICE RIGHT AWAY THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS OUT OF WHACK SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING, LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE TO DRIVING TOO FAST FOR ROAD CONDITIONS AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND GM WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS. *KB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WENT TO 100 MILES AN HOUR. I KNEW THIS COULD NOT BE THE CASE AS MY GPS SHOWED I WAS TRAVELING AT 55MPH. IT THEN WENT TO 120MILES AN HOUR AND FLIP. FLOPPED BACK AND FORTH. I WENT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS, CHEVROLET WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. THE COST TO ME WOULD BE OVER $500 I LIVE ON A SMALL SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK, SO COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR IT. NEXT AT 85,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE WENT HAYWIRE AND WOULD NOT REGISTER ANY FUEL ALTHOUGH I WOULD FILL IT COMPLETELY. ALSO, THE LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT, SO, I AM AFRAID I WILL BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN THE DARK WITH MY CAR QUITTING ALL TOGETHER. THIS WAS MY LAST CAR PURCHASE BEFORE I RETIRED AND I AM JUST SICK THAT THE CHEVROLET COMPANY WILL NOT FIX THESE DEFECTS...THEY FIX THE SAME CLUSTER IN THEIR CHEVROLET TRUCKS....WHY NOT IN THE CARS? BY THE WAY, I JUST GOT A LETTER LAST WEEK SAYING THEY WOULD "SPLIT THE COST " TO FIX THE FUEL GAUGE...(MY COST IS $200 1/3 OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!! *TR

I DO EXPECT CERTAIN REPAIRS HOWEVER A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ON MY MAKE AND MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER CHEVROLETS, IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A CLICKING NOISE AND MY CAR HAD BEGUN SOUNDING LIKE A JET ENGINE TAKING OFF FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS - VERY NOISY. I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE TRAILBLAZER TO BEGIN MAKING THIS NOISE SHORTLY AFTER 60K MILES. I WAS TOLD THE SERPENTINE BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, TENSIONER PULLEY AND THE IDLER PULLEY. I HAD THE NEW PARTS INSTALLED. NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD SO I ASSUMED WAS WELL AS THERE WAS NO OTHER INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. DRIVING MY CAR WITHIN 24 HOURS OF BEING FIXED, THE FAN CLUTCH SEIZED AND MY WATER PUMP BURST CAUSING CAR TO OVERHEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHERE MY CAR THEN STALLED PUTTING ME AND MY CHILDREN AT RISK FOR INJURY. THE CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE IT WAS SMOKING SEVERELY. SOMEONE HELPED ME MOVE MY CAR OUT OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION AND I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET THE CAR. WHEN I GOT HOME AND LOOKED UP THE PROBLEMS AGAIN ON THE DEALER WEBSITE, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF FORUMS WHERE THE FAN CLUTCH HAS BEEN MENTIONED AND THE WATER PUMP TOO. A FAN CLUTCH ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS I SURVEYED STATED THEY SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 100K OR MORE. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO GM AND THEY IGNORE IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, MY SPEEDOMETER HASN'T WORKED FOR AT LEAST A YEAR AND WHEN I CALLED CHEVY THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $700 TO REPLACE IT WHEN IT IS NOT MY ISSUES. I DIDN'T CAUSE IT. NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR TICKETS.I AM ATTACHING A FORUM (THIS IS JUST ONE OF HUNDREDS I FOUND ONLINE)HTTP://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/CHEVROLET/TRAILBLAZER/2004/CONSUMER-DISCUSSIONS.HTML WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES I AM AND GM HAS IGNORED THEM.

JUST ONE DAY WE GOT IN THE CAR TO HEAD TO THE GROCERY STORE AND AS WE WERE HEADING THERE I LOOKED DOWN AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT 20 WHEN I WAS CLEARLY DOING 55. I PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED HOPING IT WOULD FIX ITSELF AND NOTHING. I HAS NEVER WORKED RIGHT SINCE THEN. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND ASKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON EVERY CHEVY SUV AND TRUCK EXCEPT TRAILBLAZER AND TOLD ME TO INPUT A COMPLAINT TO SEE IF THEY WOULD RECALL THIS ISSUE. I ASKED THEM HOW TO DO THAT AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT CHEVY. THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL. THE BULL**** THING IS THAT EVERY CHEVY TRUCK AND SUV FROM 2003 TO 2007 USE THE SAME INSTRUMENT PANEL SO YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THIS PATICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT LIKE THE TAHOE, SUBERBAN, OR SILVERADO THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM HAVING. I AM PISSED THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT CHEVY KNOWS IS AN ISSUE. *TT

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT RESET ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR STOPS. INSTEAD, IT RESUMES FROM A HIGHER SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT 45MPH AND STOP AT A STOPLIGHT THE SPEEDOMETER MAY DROP TO 40MPH UPON STOPPING. THEN WHEN YOU RESUME TRAVELING IT STARTS FROM 40 INSTEAD OF 0 SO THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS YOU ARE TRAVELING 60 WHEN YOU ARE GOING 20, 70 WHEN YOU ARE GOING 30 ETC. WHEN YOU STOP AGAIN IT WILL COME TO REST AT AN EVEN HIGHER SPEED, UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE NEEDLE SHOWS OVER 120 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL! I HAVE DONE SOME INVESTIGATION ON LINE AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT FROM FELLOW OWNERS. GENERAL MOTORS APPARENTLY DOPES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AS SUCH WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH IS $500 OR MORE. I'M NOT SURE HOW NOT KNOWING YOU RATE OF TRAVEL IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THEM, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS TO ME. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING IN LATE-2010 AND NOW REMAINS ON 'E' MOST OF THE TIME, REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. ALTHOUGH INFREQUENT, THE NEEDLE HAS AT TIMES BEGAN TO JUMP FROM 'E' TO IN BETWEEN A 1/4-1/2 TANK.

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS THE PART IS QUITE EXPENSIVE, I DO NOT FEEL A GAS GAUGE SHOULD BREAK SO EASILY ON A 2005 VEHICLE, AND I AM HOPING THE VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY BE RECALLED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AS I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING A CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD SENSORS REPLACED, MY HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY "FLICKER" TO DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS AND FRONT TURNING SIGNALS ALL GOING OUT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND REPLACING THE BULBS AND/OR FUSES DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM, NOW I HAVE TWO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ON.

THE ONE MODULE THAT IS BEING REPLACED IS 650.00 WITH A DIAGNOSIS FEE OF 200.00 TO CHECK THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OF THE TRANSMISSION AS 7 DIFFERENT CODES CAME UP ON THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL ASSEMBLY INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP10001(FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING AFTER THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPAIRED. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

GAS GAUGE INDICATES LOW AFTER FILL UP. IT THEN VARIES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACK HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE LEFT BY MILEAGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE USERS OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS IN TRAFFIC (LOCAL ROAD OR HIGHWAY) IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SINCE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, I THINK THE NHTSB SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND GET CHEVROLET TO RECALL THESES VEHICLES TO REPLACE THE SENDING UNITS. I NOTICED A COMPLAINT WAS FILED FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THE NHTSB BACK IN 2010, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR ACTION, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. AGAIN, SO MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

MARCH 30, 2011, I SPENT $80.00 ON FUEL TO FILL MY TRAILBLAZER WITH GAS. I STARTED DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE NEVER MOVED, AND WAS STILL SHOWING EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL WARNING CHIMING. WHEN I WAS ALMOST HOME THE FUEL GAUGE FINALLY STARTED MOVING BUT NEVER WENT PAST A HALF TANK. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SIGNS OF A FUEL LEAK AND NOTHING LOOKED OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE AGAIN TO RUN ERRANDS THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD MOVE, HOWEVER, IT WOULD GO BACK DOWN TO EMPTY WHEN I WAS STOPPED OR PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH REAR TAIL LIGHT PANEL WIRES FRYING AND HAVING TO REPLACE THOSE WHEN THERE WERE NO APPARENT CAUSES (MOISTURE, ETC.). LIGHTS DIMMING WHILE I ROLL UP A WINDOW OR PUSH OTHER BUTTONS IN THE CAR (RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL) AND LIGHTS IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CAR JUST BLOWING OUT. FUSES ARE FINE, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE FINE. WHY IS THIS VEHICLE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS AT 56,000 MILES? I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE NOT LIFE THREATENING ISSUES, BUT WHAT IS NEXT. WHY DO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY MONITOR MY MILEAGE JUST TO MAKE SURE I DON'T STALL OR RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN I AM DRIVING. ARE WE THE CUSTOMERS SUPPOSED TO SHELL OUT $$$ TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE CONTINUALLY ON DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS. I DON'T THINK SO. GMC NEEDS TO DRASTICALLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS, AND STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS THEY DO HAVE. WORD OF MOUTH IS WAY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ADVERTISING.

THE CLUSTER/INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MANY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT WORK, THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, ALONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, AND THE BATTERY METER. THE FAILURE OF THESE FUNCTIONS CAN CAUSE SPEEDING/ DRIVING TO SLOW, WHICH COULD INTERN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE GAS GAUGE ALWAYS SHOWS THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY EVEN AFTER A FILL UP, WHICH COULD CAUSE YOU TO RUN OUT OF GAS, AND GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER PANEL. *TR

TRAFFIC WAS HORRIBLE BUMPER TO BUMPER, I WAS DRIVING AND REALIZED NOT TO RUSH SO I STOOD IN THE FIRST LANE, AS I WAS DRIVING BUMPER TO BUMPER I ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN ONE CAR LENGTHS IN CASE I GET REAR ENDED. AS I AM DRIVING BUMPER TO BUMPER ALL FOR A SUDDEN NEXT THING YOU KNOW MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT INCREDIBLE SPEED I MANAGE TO SWERVE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE TO AVOID CAUSING A MULTIPLE CAR PILEUP MY CAR DIED INSTANTLY I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT JUST WANTED TO TAKE OFF AS IT DID BEFORE I TURNED THE CAR OFF THINKING TO MYSELF MY GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND WHAT IS GOING ON, I AM TRYING TO CALM MY 12 YEAR OLD CHILD BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I AM MY FAMILY EVER WENT THRU. I PRESS THE BREAK AND JUST RELAX FOR A SECOND AND STARTED THE CAR UP AND IT WAS FINE. HOWEVER, MY NERVES WERE PRETTY MUCH SHAKEN, I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO JJ AUTO SHOP IN HAYWARD WHO IS ASE CERTIFIED HE DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE HE SAID HE COULD NOT VERIFY WHAT I WAS SAYING, NO ERROR LIGHTS AND THE HISTORY WAS CLEAN. HE ALSO MENTIONED THE COMPUTER AT TIMES DOES NOT PICK UP A SPLIT OF A SECOND ACCELERATION. HE BELIEVES MY STORY AND SAID EVERYTHING IS DONE THRU COMPUTER SO THERE IS NO FINDING AS OF THE MOMENT. I WAS NOT SOLD ON THAT BUT HE ALSO RECOMMEND I COULD CHANGE THE BODY THROTTLE @ 700.00 BUT HE SAID I JUST DONT WANT YOU TO BUY THE PART SO YOU COULD JUST DRIVE IN THE SLOW LANE AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN IT OFF ASAP> MY THING IS SINCE CARS ARE COMPUTERIZE THIS SHOULD HAVE WHY IS IT THEY COULD NOT VERIFY MY SITUATION AND ALSO BODY THROTTLE WHAT HE WAS LOOKING AT AND WHAT CHEVY THINKS IT WAS! SO MY COMPLAINT IS FOR CHEVY DID THEY OVERWRITE SOFTWARE TO OVERLOOK SUDDEN ACCELERATION? THE ONLY MAJOR ISSUE I HAD HAD WITH MY VEHICLE WAS WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY AS I WAS DRIVING 110 BUT WAS REALLY GOING 35MPH

THE SPEEDOMETER BEGINS TO TICK AS I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND JUMPS ANYWHERE TO 80-100MPH AND I MAY BE ONLY GOING 30. IT STALLS AND THEN CONTINUES TO JUMP UNTIL IT IS READING OFF THE SCALE. IT NOW RESIDES OFF THE SCALE AND I HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING AT OTHER THAN USING MY GPS. THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF NOT KNOWING THE SPEED AT WHICH I AM TRAVELING ALONG WITH THE LEGAL ISSUES I MAY FACE IS WHY I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE ONLY THING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WAS THE NEARLY 16 INCHES OF SNOW THAT WE GOT IN THE CHICAGOLAND AREA. AT FIRST IT WOULD NOT MOVE, THEN IT READ THAT I WAS GOING 30 MPH WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK. NOW IT IS STUCK PAST 120 MPH. I AM UNEMPLOYED, STILL TRYING TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND DO NOT HAVE THE $500 + THAT CHEVY HAS TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT I AM SURE THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR SUV. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AT ANY GIVIN MOMENT WILL GO HAYWIRE. WILL READ OVER OR UNDER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT YOU DO NOT NOTICE RIGHT AWAY THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS OUT OF WHACK SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING, LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE TO DRIVING TOO FAST FOR ROAD CONDITIONS AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND GM WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS. *TR

SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR TO VEHICLES AT THIS AGE/MILEAGE, LET ALONE ANY AGE. TYPICAL GM "QUALITY" I GUESS. THIS DEFECT HAS THE ABILITY TO AFFECT DRIVER SAFETY AND IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RARE JUDGING BY OTHERS WHO'VE WRITTEN ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT, I BELIEVE A RECALL IS IN ORDER.

I BOUGHT A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN MARCH 2010 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS SINCE THEN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE AC STOPPED WORKING, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE AC FAN BLOWER. I REPLACED THE BLOWER BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I THEN REPLACED THE RESISTOR AND THE HARNESS. FINALLY WHEN I REPLACED THE HARNESS THE AC STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS WITH THE GAUGES. MY FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND NEVER TELLS ME THE RIGHT FUEL LEVEL AND THE CRUISE CONTROL RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING. IT HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING WRONG.

MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO AS I WAS CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS, AND MY CD PLAYER STOPPED ACCEPTING CD'S DURING THAT SAME TIME PERIOD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE GAUGE LATER STUCK AT FIRST 20 - 15 MPH, AND THEN TO 10 MPH WHEN THE SUV IS STOPPED. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS, IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE GAS GAUGE THEN WENT OUT. IT WOULD REGISTER THE TANK AS EMPTY NO MATTER IF IT WAS FILLED. THIS BEGAN 2/2010. I, A DISABLED DRIVER, HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON A DESERTED ROAD 12:15 A.M. IN THE WINTER DUE TO HAVING TO CALCULATE MILES DRIVEN WITH THE TACHOMETER TO DETERMINE APPROXIMATE GAS CONSUMPTION. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT CALCULATION DOESN'T ACCOUNT FOR ENGINE IDLING IN TRAFFIC JAMS . I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN MY COLD SUV PRAYING NO ONE CAME AROUND THE CURVE AND SLAMMED INTO ME SINCE I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DARK RURAL ROAD. I WAS TERRIFIED IN THIS SITUATION AND RARELY DRIVE AT NIGHT IF I CAN HELP IT BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER'S KNOWN DEFECT AND NEGLIGENCE. I HAVE PAID OVER $500 TO REPAIR THESE MANUFACTURES DEFECTS, ONLY TO HAVE THEM MALFUNCTION AGAIN WITHIN 1 WEEK OF REPAIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT HE WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX IT A SECOND TIME. ONCE AGAIN, MY SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER REGISTERING THE CORRECT SPEED, AND I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER FOR SPEEDING. I SHOWED THE OFFICER MY SPEEDOMETER, AND TO MY SURPRISE HE LET ME OFF WITH A WARNING AND TOLD ME THAT HE HAS PULLED OVER OTHER TRAILBLAZER DRIVERS FOR SPEEDING WHO IN TURN HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETERS. I HAVE HAD INTERIOR LIGHTS MALFUNCTION, AND DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT MALFUNCTIONS WHERE THE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. THE HEADLIGHT WAS CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND WAS NOT DEEMED LOOSE OR BLOWN.

THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE, AS YOU HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW YOUR TRUE SPEED. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS UNSAFE AS WELL, AS YOU HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF/WHEN YOU'RE REALLY HAVING AN OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM. MY CALLS TO GM HAVE RESULTED IN NO RESOLUTION, AS I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULDN'T NEED THE SPEEDOMETER SINCE I CAN "FEEL" HOW FAST I'M GOING (AS STATED BY A GM REPRESENTATIVE).

WHEN YOU STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS YOU ARE STILL GOING 30 MPH. THEN YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT TO TRY AND RESET IT. DOING THIS ONLY TAKES 8 MPH OFF SO IT TAKES A WHILE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE IN THE COLD WEATHER THAN IN WARM WEATHER. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST/ SLOW YOU ARE TRULY GOING. AND WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER DOES DECLINE WITH YOUR SPEED IT IS VERY JERKY AND STICKS. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER...A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, WHILE MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS TRUCK THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK ON 10MPH AND SHE COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST SHE WAS REALLY DRIVING. WE WERE ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD (THANK GOD) NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BUT I KNOW SHE HAD TO BE GOING AT LEAST 45MPH. SHE HAS JUST GOTTEN HER LEARNER'S PERMIT A FEW WEEKS EARLIER AND DID NOT HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE DRIVING SO THIS REALLY FREAKED HER OUT. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRUCK BUT IF YOU COME TO A STOP IT WILL STICK AGAIN AND AT TIMES IT WILL READ HIGHER THAN WHAT I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING. LIKE THIS MORNING, UPON STARTING THE TRUCK BEFORE IT WAS EVER PUT INTO DRIVE THE SPEEDOMETER READ 10MPH. THIS COULD BE A VERY HAZARDOUS DEFECT AND GM SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT. IN RESEARCHING, I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SPEEDOMETERS IN THESE TRUCKS, YET GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS COSTING CONSUMERS APPROX. $500-$750 TO REPAIR.

AFTER TALKING TO A MECHANIC FRIEND, WE TOOK THE DASHBOARD APART, PULLED OUT THE CLUSTER AND PUT IT BACK IN. THAT APPEARS TO HAVE STOPPED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW, BUT WE HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE MUCH SINCE DOING THE REPAIR.

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER THAT I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER THAT AT CERTAIN TIMES WILL EITHER STOP WORKING OR READ INCORRECTLY (EITHER OVER OR UNDER) THE SPEED OF WHAT THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY DOING. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HER DRIVING IT AND GM IS SAYING THAT IT WILL COST AROUND 500 OR MORE TO REPAIR, BUT YET THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 03-04 BUT NOT THE 05 OR NEWER, WHY?

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT ON THE HIGHWAY. NEEDLE DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. CANNOT DETERMINE SPEED OF VEHICLE. BROUGHT TO GM DEALERSHIP.

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER-GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ACCURATELY. STAYS AROUND 1/4 TANK WHILE DRIVING. LOW LEVEL INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED AND THEN MOVES BACK UP TO 1/4 TANK EVEN THOUGH THE TANK MAY BE FULL. TWO WEEKS AFTER NOTICING THE GAS GAUGE I ALSO NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT READING ACCURATELY. NOTICED THIS WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. WHILE CAR WAS STOPPED SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 20 MPH. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT GRADUALLY STOPPED REGISTERING THE ACTUAL GAS. AFTER FILLING THE GAS, IT REGISTER EMPTY. AS I DROVE, THE GAS WOULD REGISTER AS FULL. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED MOVING AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A PERIOD OF 6MOS. I STARTED FILLING THE GAS MORE OFTEN. AFTER FILLING THE GAS, 2 DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING A NEAR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING. CLEARLY, I WASN'T OUT OF GAS. I HAD JUST FILL THE GAS AND BECAME ACCUSTOMED TO HOW FAR I COULD DRIVE BEFORE I NEEDED TO REFILL. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS OBVIOUS A DEFECT IN THE GAS GAUGE. I WASN'T SURE UNTIL NOW AFTER VISITING THIS SITE THAT I AM NOT ALONE. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I'M SURE IF IT IS REGISTERING THE MILEAGE I DRIVE. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I AM DRIVING IS SURELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I VISITED MY MECHANIC IS WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $500 TO REPAIR. SURELY IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A DEATH TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER TO MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FELL BELOW ZERO AND MY ACTUAL RATE OF SPEED WAS INCORRECT. IT WAS RAINING WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT I NOTICED THAT I WAS PASSING PEOPLE EASILY ON THE INTERSTATE AT ONLY GOING AROUND 55 MPH. I THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE WERE OVERREACTING TO THE RAIN AFTERALL IT WAS JUST A SHOWER. BUT WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO AN EXIT RAMP I NOTICED THAT I WAS AT ZERO MPH WHILE STILL ROLLING AT I GUESS 30 MPH. I MUST HAVE BEEN DOING 85-90 MPH BEFORE AND I JUST FELT ILL THAT I WAS GOING SO FAST AND COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN FINED OR WORSE HYDRO PLANED IN THE RAINY CONDITIONS. I READ UP ON THIS ISSUE WITH ALOT OF GM PRODUCTS AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE TRAIL BLAZER MODELS. MY TRAIL BLAZER HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES AND IS WELL MAINTENANCE, SO SUCH A FAILURE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY NEGLECT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND MAKES SURE THAT THIS COMMON MALFUNCTION DOESN'T COST SOMEONE THEIR HEALTH OR LIVES. THANKS *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR MCCAIN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT WHO HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH HER 2005 GM TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT PANELS (DOT/I#2010-1286) *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $500-600 TO HAVE THE FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STARTED ACTING UP A MONTH AGO. THE FIRST PROBLEM I NOTICED WAS THAT THE NEEDLE OF THE SPEEDOMETER HAD FALLEN BEYOND THE 0 MPH MARK AND NEVER CHANGED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, IT READ THAT HIS SPEED WAS 60 MPH WHEN HE WAS ONLY GOING 30 MPH. THE VERY NEXT DAY I DROVE IT AND THE SPEEDOMETER WORKED FINE. THEN AGAIN, A WEEK LATER IT MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY! IT COMPLETELY FREAKED ME OUT! I TRIED TO STAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC BUT HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS REALLY GOING. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY CHEVY DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SHE INFORMED ME THAT I WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY A WARRANTY (MY CAR ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT) AND THAT GM HAS ISSUED RECALLS ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER FOR THE 2003 AND 2004 TRAILBLAZERS BUT NOT THE 2005. SHE THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $450 TO $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THAT GM WOULD 'MOST LIKELY' REIMBURSE ME IF/WHEN THEY ISSUE A RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER IS CURRENTLY MISREADING ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN I GET IN MY CAR IF IT IS GOING TO WORK CORRECTLY OR NOT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR OWNERS OF THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SO I CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND SPOKE TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE THIS MORNING. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS SORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT GM HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS SO I SHOULD GO GET IT FIXED ON MY OWN DIME TO AVOID ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND SEND OUT A RECALL TO INSURE THAT THIS FAULTY GAUGE CLUSTER DOESN'T END UP GETTING SOMEONE KILLED. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED BY FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. IT SHOWS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THEN THE OIL LIGHT HAS GONE HAYWIRE, AND FAILS TO RESET ITSELF, IT POINTS DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GAUGE. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER WILL WITHOUT WARNING STOP WORKING AND FREEZE ON A CERTAIN NUMBER, THEN GO DOWN TO BELOW ZERO AND NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING AT TIMES. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE IT RESETS ITSELF, BUT THEN HAPPENS AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FROM FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE TO MY CAR.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, IT IS COMPLETELY POINTING DOWN, NOW ALL OF THE GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING.. MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS I'M GOING 80-90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP. ITS SUCH A PAIN, NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, OR HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. I HAVE READ A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES..THEY SHOULD REALLY RECALL WHAT EVER IS MAKING THE GAUGES DO THIS..IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. ITS TOO BAD BECAUSE I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER BUT WONT EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER,RECENTLY MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING CRAZY,NOW IT EITHER WORKS OR IT DOESN'T,SOMETIMES IT SAYS YOUR AT 0 OR SOMETIMES IT SAYS YOUR GOING 120 MPH,SOMETIMES IT STICKS ON 70 MPH!!! I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A VERY IMPORTANT RECALL. *TR

AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE SOMETIMES THE RPM GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE, LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT STARTED, THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO TURN THE KEY AGAIN CAUSING MY STARTER TO MAKE AN AWFUL SOUND, SINCE THE CAR WAS ALREADY RUNNING, RPM GAUGE HOWEVER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. MY SPEEDOMETER WILL START OUT AT 0 LIKE NORMAL BUT THEN WILL STICK AND GO BACK DOWN TO 0 WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO SEE THE SPEED I AM GOING, AT TIMES IT WILL STICK AROUND 40 MPH. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK IT ALWAYS SAYS I AM EMPTY. WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY FINAL POINT, MY ODOMETER HAS STARTED STICKING, I GAUGE MY GAS MILEAGE BY MY ODOMETER, THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM SINCE THE ODOMETER IS STICKING, I COULD BE THINKING I HAVE ENOUGH GAS WHEN IN REALITY I DO NOT, THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS, NOT TO MY OWN ERROR BUT DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING GAUGES, WHICH COULD CAUSE ME TO STALL AND BE REAR ENDED. I TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE ALMOST EVERYDAY AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

THREE OUT OF SIX DASHBOARD GAUGES DON'T WORK. INCLUDED ARE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, AND GAS GAUGE. THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY GAS GAUGE, ONE NEVER KNOWS WHEN OR WHERE YOU WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL. THIS OPENS YOU TO RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN A DANGEROUS LOCATION AND ALSO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2008. *TR

THE CLUSTER, AS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A GM SPECIALIST, IS DEFECTIVE ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER. THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAUSES ME UNDUE STRESS BECAUSE I AM NEVER CERTAIN OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS I HAVE AND THE OIL METER GIVES MISREADING. I TRAVEL ALONE MOST OF THE TIME AND WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE GAS, IT IS ALWAYS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. THIS ALL STARTED IN 12/12/09 AND RECENTLY GM HAD ME GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, AS IF THEY DID NOT ALREADY KNOW THE ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES, TO A TUNE OF $100 PLUS DOLLARS AT MY COST. AFTER THE INSPECTION WAS COMPLETE, I WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MILEAGE, SLIGHTLY PASS 67K WHEN I CONTACTED THEM AND AT THE TIME THEY WERE INFORMED THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I THINK THAT THE ISSUE WITH THEM REFUSING TO MAKE AMENDS REGARDING THE VEHICLE AND THEN TO HAVE MY PAY MONEY WAS A TRUE FORM OF DECEPTION. I CAN NOT KNOW THE ACCURATE SPEED, THE GAS NEEDLE SWAYS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE OIL NEEDLE, EVEN DURING FREEZING TEMPS, IS ALWAYS BEYOND THE CORRECT POINT. THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ME, A CONSUMER, AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE IN REMEDYING THE PROBLEM. SO, YES, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I BOUGHT A VEHICLE FOR DEPENDABILITY AND THIS ONE DOES NOT AFFORD THAT TO ME AND THEIR REFUSAL IS SICKENING. I HAVE NO TRUST IN ANY OF THE GAUGES BECAUSE I QUESTION THE ACCURACY OF THEM AND TOO, THE SPEEDOMETER COULD REALLY LEAD TO GETTING TICKETS OR WORSE. *TR

I REACHED 55,000 MILES ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAIZER. NOW, MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT STICKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT EVEN MOVE OFF THE 0MPH. BETTER YET, MY HEAD LIGHTS ARE RANDOMLY TURNING OFF. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONE A DAY. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHEVY CAN TELL ME THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT LIVE IN A PLACE THAT HAST DAY LIGHT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE DURING THE NIGHT HOURS. IF MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED, I WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I'M SURE I WILL EVENTUALLYG ET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, IT'S JUST I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. WHAT DO I EXPLAIN TO THE OFFICER, "SORRY MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND NO, I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING?" THIS IS A JOKE! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET , YET CHEVY WILL NOT ADMIT TO THIS "CLUSTER" ISSUE BEING RELATED TO SAFETY? SO WHEN I GET TICKETS FROM THE POLICE, FAIL MY MASSACHUSETTS STATE INSPECTION AND MAYBE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, DO I FORWARD ALL BILLS TO CHEVY? AND IF A LIFE IS LOST, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RELACE THAT?

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER. IT RANDOMLY GOES UP TO VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES NO SPEED AT ALL, MEANING IT HANGS BETWEEN 120 AND 0. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE AT TIMES I AM GUESSING MY SPEED AND MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS IN THE CAR WITH ME. CHEVROLET/GMC SHOULD HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THIS A LONG TIME AGO. THEY KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS CONSUMERS, SO HOW CAN THEY NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT IS THEIR FAULT? I DON'T THINK THE BUYERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $500 OR MORE OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE'S VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND NOW THE OIL GAUGE IS ALSO NOT WORKING. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN SINCE I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM DRIVING. IT WILL COST AROUND $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS, GM WANTS $600 TO REPLACE CLUSTER. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN RECALLED ON EVERY OTHER GM VEHICLE THAT USES THIS CLUSTER. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS MOMENT DUE TO MALFUNCTION IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. FIRST MY GAS GAUGE WENT OUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS BROKEN - SHOWS I AM GOING 60 WHEN I AM AT A STOP OR IT MAY GO DOWN TO 30 AT TIMES. IT WILL COST $500 FOR THE CLUSTER AND $550 FOR THE FUEL SENSOR. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD A RESPONSE YET. *TR

WELL NOW A YEAR LATER THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS. AFTER FURTHER STUDY INTO THE PROBLEM MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SO I GO ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND ONE AND INSTEAD I FIND THAT ITS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. I CALL GM TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE AND WAS TOLD SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY TO BAD. I THINK THAT WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ AND KNOW ABOUT THIS IS A MATTER THAT GM SHOULD RESOLVE. THEY RECALLED THE SAME CLUSTER THAT WAS PUT IN THE HIGHER PRICED VEHICLES BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP US OUT. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS SINCE THIS IS MY WIFE AND KIDS CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THEM RIDING AROUND WITHOUT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS THEY HAVE.

SINCE THE TIME WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER 1ST WENT OUT, MY OIL GAUGE IS COMPLETELY PEGGED OUT AND WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF, THE BATTERY GAUGE COMES AND GOES, AS WELL AS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS ALL OVER THE U.S. AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO HAVE THE CLUSTER PANEL CORRECTED BECAUSE IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE GM TRAILBLAZERS. IF YOU ASK ME, I BELIEVE IT CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW FAST YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE DRIVING. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR GAS GAUGE GO COMPLETELY OUT AS WELL. MINE TRIED TO QUICK WORKING FOR ME ONLY ONE TIME, BUT CORRECTED ITSELF WITHIN 24 HOURS.

I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT OWN CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THESE SAME ISSUES AND I FEEL THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY BLOGS ONLINE WHERE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES SO THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS.

WHEN I SPOKE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE SHE SAID THAT MY TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEN MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER. ALTHOUGH IT WAS NICE TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT I STILL HAVE TO PAY THE 200 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THE 700 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED.

TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM, I PURCHASED A GARMIN WHICH WILL TELL YOU WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING AND HAVE FIGURED OUT WITH MY GAS GAUGE THAT WHEN I HAVE GAS, MY LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND WHEN I AM GETTING LOW, IT GOES OFF. SO I WORK BACKWARDS, WHEN MY LOW FUEL LIGHT GOES OFF, I FILL MY GAS TANK AND MONITOR THE MILES I HAVE DRIVEN. WHY IS GM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS OBVIOUSLY WIDESPREAD. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER MALFUNCTIONED SAYING I WAS GOING FASTER THAN I REALLY WAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES; THE FIRST TIME ON JANUARY 28TH 2010, AND TWICE ON THE NIGHT OF FEBRUARY 4TH 2010. IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE EACH TIME. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL INCREASE DURING ACCELERATION AND NOT MOVE FOR DECELERATION. WITH EACH DECELERATION AND SUBSEQUENT ACCELERATION THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO INCREASE UNTIL YOU HIT MAX SPEED OF 120 MPH. THIS IS A LARGE DANGER FOR FREQUENT FREEWAY/HIGHWAY TRAVELING CONSIDERING THE VEHICLES APPROACHING FROM THE REAR AND I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST MY VEHICLE IS REALLY GOING. THE ONLY WAY THAT I HAVE FOUND TO RESET THE SPEEDOMETER, IS TO STOP AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THIS MUST BE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES, SOMETIMES UP TO 10 TIMES OR MORE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL RESET APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THIS EVENING I HAD TO RESTART MY TRUCK 12 TIMES TO GET IT BACK TO ZERO.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. ON HIGHWAY 61 NEAR TROY, MO, THERE IS A SPEED RADAR SET ALONG THE ROAD TO DISPLAY VEHICLE SPEED TO DRIVERS. ON 2 OCCASIONS, MY SPEEDOMETER SHOWED SPEEDS OF 60 MPH WHEN THE RADAR DISPLAY SHOWED 40 TO 45 MPH AND ON 3 OCCASIONS, MY SPEEDOMETER INDICATED SPEEDS OF 60 (THE SPEED LIMIT), WHILE THE RADAR DISPLAYED SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 75 TO 85 MPH. I WAS GOING 15 TO 25 MPH FASTER THAN THE SPEED LIMIT, BUT DID NOT KNOW IT ACCORDING TO MY SPEEDOMETER. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 6 OR 7 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN I STOP THE TRAILBLAZER, WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER IS REGISTERING LOW, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WILL ACTUALLY MOVE BELOW THE 0 MPH. ON THOSE OCCASIONS WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING HIGH, WHEN I HAVE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, THE NEEDLE WILL STILL BE SHOWING 25 TO 40 MPH! MY FEAR IS THAT ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS THAT MY SPEED IS ACTUALLY FASTER THAN INDICATED, MY SPEED MY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND THAT AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND TURNING IT OFF, IF I JUST TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO RUN WITHOUT STARTING IT SEVERAL TIMES, THE NEEDLE WILL GRADUALLY RESET ITSELF BACK TO 0 AND I WON'T HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR $500 TO $600, BUT I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS WHAT MOVED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

2005 GM TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER WITH 58300 MILES IS TOTALLY INOPERATIVE DUE TO A FAULTY STEPPER MOTOR WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. OTHER GAUGES IN THIS CLUSTER ARE ALSO POTENTIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO PREMATURE FAILURE BECAUSE THEY USE THE SAME DEFECTIVE MODEL STEPPER MOTOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY DURING RAINY OR ICY MONTHS WHERE UNKNOWN EXCESSIVE SPEED COULD CAUSE A FATALITY. THE SPEEDOMETER, AS WELL AS THE ODOMETER, SHOULD BE SERVICEABLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS NOT DEEMED PERISHABLE. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE USES A PREDEFINED 'DENIAL OF SERVICE' CAMPAIGN BY WHICH THEY GATHER INFORMATION AND REQUIRE DEALERSHIP TESTING , THE COST OF AT LEAST $88 TO BE PAID BY THE OWNER, THEN DENIES ALL REMEDIAL ACTION BY USING THE VIN NUMBER AND MILEAGE AS A REASON TO NOT REPLACE THE KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART. THIS IS THOUGHT TO BE INTEGRAL TO THE DELPHI GM PARTS SUIT $100 MILLION SETTLEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2007 WHERE THE DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTOR PART WAS PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND GM IS SUPPOSE TO REPLACE THEM WITHOUT COST TO THE CONSUMER.

MY CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS GM WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM. I ESCALADES. WHY WAS THE TRAILBLAZER NOT INCLUDED WHEN THEY EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURES.

THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR(ABOUT 5-600 DOLLARS).THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ARE SO GREAT THAT I FEEL GM IS DUCKING THE PROBLEM.

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER'S SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT GETS TOO HOT EITHER FROM THE HEATER BEING ON OR IF I AM DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE AND IT WILL HIT A CERTAIN POINT AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUST STOP WORKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON MY WAY TO CALIFORNIA FOR THANKSGIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DRIVE I LOOKED DOWN AND I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND INSTEAD OF MY TRAILBLAZER SLOWING DOWN THE SPEEDOMETER KEPT RAISING. I HAD TO RELY ON MY SPEED BY MY RPM'S. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE FUSE BOX TO RESET THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN FOR ONLY A SHORT TIME AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I HAD TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS ABOUT 5 TIMES THAT WEEKEND. SINCE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ONLY INSTEAD OF RAISING IN SPEED THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STAY BETWEEN 0-30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ACCORDING TO MY RPM'S I SHOULD BE GOING ABOUT 65 OR 70 MPH. I CAN TURN OFF MY TRAILBLAZER AND LET IT COOL OFF AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WILL START WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL PLACES ONLINE WHERE TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX, BUT IF OTHER TRAILBLAZERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEN THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE SPEEDOMETER WHICH SHOULD BECOME A NATIONAL RECALL. IT IS NOT FUN DRIVING AND THINKING YOU ARE GOING ONE SPEED WHEN YOU ARE NOT, AND I AM SURPRISED THERE HAVEN'T BEEN MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENTS FROM THIS PROBLEM. THE DRIVER'S ELECTRICAL PANEL SHOULD NOT FAIL IN A CAR AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN!!!! *TR

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT PANEL CONSTANTLY FAILS - THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN FIXED ONCE ALREADY AND IS NOW BROKEN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS POWER SURGES WHICH IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THE CAR UP AND DOWN WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN CAUSING POWER SURGES. THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING ARE OTHER ISSUES WHICH THIS MODEL VEHICLE: STEREO CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE GAS CAP LIGHT, THE LIGHTS FLICKER ALSO. I OUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND WITH A CRACKED FRONT BUMPER WHICH THE DEALER DIDN'T FIX (DEALER STUCK A LITTLE BONDO ON AREA AND REPAINTED IT SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEW BUMPER WHEN I ACCEPTED THE CAR AFTER REPAIR. IT CRACKED IN A MATTER OF DAYS) AND I KNOW THIS WAS CAUSED DUE TO THE SURGES IN POWER. A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THE CHEVROLET SHOULD STAND BEHIND AND FIX. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE CHECKED THE WEB AND HAVE READ MANY, MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. CHEVY OWNERS SHOULD FILL A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVROLET IF THEY DON'T DO A RECALL AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS.

AT 58348 MILES, THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED, WOULD NOT READ ZERO MILES AT DEAD STOP, WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD REGISTER INACCURATELY, VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE ROAD SPEED, AND DRIVE SAFELY. DEALER REPLACED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT COST OF $362.25. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM, AS ONE CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROPER SPEED WHILE DRIVING, IT HAS OCCURRED IN MANY OTHER CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS ALSO. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE HAS STARTED STICKING AND WILL NOT RETURN TO ZERO. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. THE STEPPER MOTORS ARE GOING BAD. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE DEALERS KNOW THIS IS A FACTORY FLAW THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THEM UNDER A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY FILE A COMPLAINT TO HAVE THIS ADDED FOR A RECALL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES LIGHTS WILL BECOME DIM. WHEN ADJUSTING SEAT TO DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR ALSO TURNS UPWARD. IF OPENING RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR IN BACK WITH RADIO ON, RADIO GETS TERRIBLE BUZZING NOISE. I HAVE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND TURN BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO MY CD PLAYERS HAS QUIT WORKING FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND GETS VERY HOT AND ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START VEHICLE THE MILEAGE GAUGE WILL NOT WORK. HAVE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART SOMETIMES. THIS IS A 2005 TRAILBLAZER. *TR

JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THE GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER ISSUES. I HAVE A 05 TRAILBLAZER AND HAD BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS. FORTUNATELY I WORK WITH A GREAT DEALERSHIP AND I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE GM WOULD DO NOTHING AND THE FIXES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. YOU CAN LIVE WITH THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY BY TRACKING YOUR MILEAGE BUT THE STUPID BELL GOES OFF ALL THE TIME TELLING YOU YOUR NEAR EMPTY BUT YOU CANNOT DRIVE SAFELY IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING AND YOU CERTAINLY CANNOT GO WITH THE FLOW AS EVERYONE SEEMS TO DRIVE FASTER THAN ALLOWED AND I DO NOT THINK THE OFFICER WHO PULLS YOU OVER WILL CARE IF YOUR SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I ALSO NOTICE THAT MY INTERIOR PANEL LIGHTS WILL FLASH OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, MAKES ME THINK I AM SEEING THINGS. I THINK GM NEEDS TO FIND ANSWERS AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS. I LOVE MY TB BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LEMON AND I WILL LOOK AT SOMETHING DIFFERENT WHEN I PURCHASE AGAIN. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND NOT ON THE THROTTLE THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF IN MY 05 TRAILBLAZER. IT DOES IT EVERY NIGHT AS I DRIVE HOME AND CAUSES PEOPLE AROUND ME TO DRIVE ERRATICALLY. THE TRUCK ALSO SUDDENLY REVS WHILE COMING TO A STOP. TWICE IT HAS CAUSED ME TO TAP THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WHILE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FLASHING SO IT BADLY SCARES PEOPLE AROUND ME. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN FIND NO FAULT IN THE TRUCK BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE BECOMING SO BAD THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND THAT IS A VERY BAD PLACE TO BE STUCK IN. I HAVE READ THAT MORE THEN A FEW PEOPLE HAVE THESE ISSUES AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX ACCORDING TO GM- SO I FELT THAT I HAD BETTER REPORT THIS HERE AS WELL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS *BELOW* ZERO WHEN I'M MOVING. LAST NIGHT, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 65-70MPH, I ASSUME, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 30. WHEN DECELERATING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STICK AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, AND THEN JERK DOWN SUDDENLY. MY TRAILBLAZER ONLY HAS ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE BEGINNING AT 30K, BUT MOST KICK IN AT AROUND 50K. I AM CALLING THE SHOP TODAY. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT'S RELATED TO A FAULTY STEPPER MOTOR. IF I AM ABLE TO UPDATE THIS REPORT, I WILL. HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND AM NOT GOING TO WAIT TO REPORT IT UNTIL AFTER THE REPAIR; I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 40 (I STOPPED COUNTING) OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER IN 05 TRAILBLAZERS ON ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM (I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH DIMMING LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHING AT NIGHT). *TR

AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 20-30 MINUTES MY SPEEDOMETER STOPS FUNCTIONING. IN CITY DRIVING SITUATIONS, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPS TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP. IN HIGHWAY DRIVING SITUATIONS WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS IN USE, THE SPEEDOMETER "STICKS." WHEN I TOUCH THE BREAKS OR THE GAS TO SPEED UP/SLOW DOWN THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STAYS AT WHATEVER SPEED I WAS PREVIOUSLY DRIVING AND STAYS THERE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR, THE SPEEDOMETER CAN BE RESET BY STARTING THE CAR AND TURNING IT OFF UNTIL THE NEEDLE RETURNS TO ZERO. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN MY TRAILBLAZER HAD APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES AND HAS PERSISTED SINCE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $450-550 COST TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH 2005 TRAILBLAZERS BUT IT WON'T BE COVERED UNDER A SILENT WARRANTY UNLESS MORE COMPLAINTS ARE FILED. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS, AND I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

MY SPEEDOMETER ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY AND I CAN BE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE GAUGE SHOWS THAT I AM GOING 25/30 MILES AN HOUR AND I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SHOWS OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATING TO THE SAME PROBLEM...WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODELS? *TR

I TOO NOTICE IT MORE IN THE COLDER MONTHS. I AGREE -THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

THE HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS AND DOME LIGHTS ALL FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE NOV 2004 WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. RECENTLY I'VE NOTICED THE BATTERY GAUGE FLUCTUATE RATHER WILDLY WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. IN MY CASE, THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE PROBLEM I CAN'T BE CERTAIN. I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM MORE WHEN THE TEMPS ARE AROUND 35-45F. THE DEALER HAS SEEN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM AND STILL CAN'T DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THE BIG PROBLEM IS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CONDITION. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 75000 MILES AND IS 4 YEARS OLD. THE FLICKERING/FLASHING HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. ON DEC 2, 2008 THE FLICKERING WAS MORE AKIN TO OUTRIGHT FLASHING. OTHER DRIVERS BEING NOTICEABLY AFFECTED. *TR

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH UNDER 40,000 MILES AND VERY WELL-MAINTAINED. THIS IS A CONTINUING CONCERN AND HAVE HAD THE DEALER MECHANICS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE LIGHTS WILL DIM DRAMATICALLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND RETURN AFTER ACCELERATING FOR ANY LENGTH OR MAGNITUDE AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL BRIGHTNESS. TYPICALLY, THEY WILL DIM 3 TIMES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW SEVERE THIS COULD BECOME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID GM ACKNOWLEDGES THIS HAPPENING BUT SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND NO REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT DOES HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES A WEEK AND INCONSISTENTLY. I CANNOT IDENTIFY WHAT CAUSES IT OR WHAT CONDITIONS CONSISTENTLY EXIST. HOWEVER, THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL OR SAFE. *TR

Mileage: 35,000

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED ALL THE TIME. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE CAR SAID I WAS DOING 110MPH. THE DEALER SAID FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY GET THIS PROBLEM A LOT. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER GM CARS WITH THE SAME GAUGES AS THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER. SO WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE TRAILBLAZER? *TR

Mileage: 26,354

MY VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, BLINK, FLICKER OR FLASH WHEN TOO MUCH POWER IS GOING IN, I DON'T THINK THIS VEHICLE HAS A BIG ENOUGH ALTERNATOR, BUT THE DEALER OR GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME, THEY SAID ITS NORMAL. IF ITS NORMAL THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. IT IS JUST SO FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A VEHICLE IN A SHOP WHEN YOU NEED IT FOR DAY TO DAY LIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE AND ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE BLOG SITES THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT TYPICALLY WHILE "COASTING" BETWEEN 30-50 MPH MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY TRAILBLAZER DIM, THE BATTERY CHARGE GOES DOWN, AND THE BLOWER STOPS WORKING FOR JUST A SECOND. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING A SIMILAR, AND UNRESOLVED PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZERS AS WELL. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE HEADLIGHTS ARE NECESSARY, ALSO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE A CONSISTENCY WITH MANY CONSUMERS. MINE IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS.

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER V6 LS SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHEVY HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. MY SPEEDOMETER OFTEN READS 0-40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE A 3 AND 1 YEAR OLD WHO ARE WITH ME EVERY DAY IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS ALSO FAILED. I HAVE TO RELY ON MY TRIPOMETER TO KNOW WHEN TO REFUEL. I CANNOT AFFORD TO RUN OUT OF GAS WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW ENGLAND WINTER AROUND THE CORNER. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND REQUIRE CHEVY TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.

MY FATHER SAID THAT IT IS THE BEARINGS AND THE ALTERNATOR, SO I DECIDED TO LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND SAW MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON A SITE, AND WAS DIRECTED BY MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT HAPPY, AND I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE WARRANTY IS CONVENIENTLY UP JUST AS THIS IS HAPPENING. I WANT THIS CORRECT, AND SOMEONE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PUMP AND THE ELECTRICAL, WELL THEN THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FIX IT FOR FREE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHT DIM/BRIGHTEN ON THEIR OWN. HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT GM WILL DO FOR ME, THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEAL THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND I HAVE SEVERAL WORK ORDERS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT. SO NOW, WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT, PEOPLE THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. I HAVE EVEN GONE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HEAR ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH SOME TYPE OF PROGRAMMING, BUT GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX.

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT. CURRENTLY THE ISSUE I AM DEALING WITH IS THE SPEEDOMETER. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY SPEEDOMETER WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 30 MPH WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND PAST 120 MPH AND STUCK. FOLLOWING THAT, EVERY TIME I STARTED MY CAR, IT WOULD DECREASE 10 MPH UNTIL IT WENT BACK TO 0 MPH. IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE AND NOW I AM HAVING A PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE NEEDLE SPUN ALL THE WAY AROUND AND DOES NOT MOVE WHEN I AM DRIVING. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND FEEL THAT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, IT IS A GUESSING GAME. *TR

HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED (A WHOLE OTHER SICK STORY:( ). WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK BACK, SECOND DAY ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO CLIMB EVEN THOUGH I WAS STAYING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I TWENT AROUND TO THE 100S. WHEN I GOT HOME IT SPUN STRAIGHT DOWN NOT STOPPING AT THE ZERO LIKE IT NORMALLY DID. TOOK IT BACK TO MECHANIC AT LEAST TWICE MAYBE 3 TIMES, HE DID SOMETHING THAT FIXED IT FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THEN IT WOULD MESS UP AGAIN. AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, IT IS PARKED BUT SAYING IT'S AT 100+ MPH. READING OTHER PEOPLES SAME PROBLEM, IT WILL COST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO PAY THE DEALER TO FIX. I HAVE EVEN GOTTEN A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE OF THIS (MY FIRST IN 20 YEARS!)!!! *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY TRAILBLAZER SHOWED A WILDLY INACCURATE SPEED READING. THIS READING WAS VERY LOW AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SPEEDING/ SAFETY SITUATION. THE SPEEDOMETER COULD GIVE A FALSE READING ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO ENTER A CURVE OR CITY AT AN UNSAFE SPEED. AT A STOPLIGHT THE NEEDLE POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN INSTEAD OF ZERO. I CONTACTED GM WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL TO WARRANT A RECALL. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THE FAILURE IN THE MODELS BEING RECALLED ARE THE SAME AS THOSE IN TRAILBLAZERS. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE DIMMING/FLICKERING LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, MY 05 TRAILBLAZER BEGAN HAVING "NO START" PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES IT WOULD START AND SOMETIMES NOT. DURING TIMES IT WOULD NOT START, I COULD NOT SHIFT IT OUT OF PARK. IF I TURN THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WOULD START. BUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND OF COURSE, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO I CONTINUED DRIVING IT WITH THIS OFF AND ON PROBLEM FOR 2 WEEKS UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SON, MOTHER AND FATHER IN THE VEHICLE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MOTOR JUST KILLED! LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS I WAS PULLING OVER THOUGH IT WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING WERE LOST. MY SON WAS VERY UPSET AND NERVOUS. THIS TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME REPLACING IT SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW. EVEN THE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT TRAILBLAZERS HAVE ALOT OF TROUBLE WITH IGNITION SWITCHES BUT SAID THERE IS NO RECALL BECAUSE IT'S NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE". SO MY ENGINE DYING WHILE I'M TRAVELING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE POSES NO SAFETY ISSUE? I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE ME FOR MY COSTS AS MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. BY THE WAY, OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE INCLUDE THE IDLER PULLEY, BRAKE LIGHTS GOING BAD AND MELTING INTO THE TERMINAL, SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION, CD PLAYER BROKEN, GLUE AROUND LICENSE PLATE FRAME OOZING AND MELTING, BROKEN LATCH ON STORAGE COMPARTMENT IN BETWEEN FRONT SEATS, FAULTY THERMOSTAT CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK HATCH DOOR.

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER. ITS A GREAT VEHICLE BUT PROBLEM'S OF GREAT CONCERN HAVE RISEN. I WOULD LIKE TO PETITION TO HAVE CHEVROLET TO DISPLAY A CAMPAIGN FOR THE RECALL AND CORRECTION OF A FUEL GAGE PROBLEM WHICH MYSELF AND MANY,MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HAVING. IT INVOLVES THE FUEL GAGE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY DISPLAYING EMPTY AND OR A VARIETY OF LEVELS OF THE FUEL TANK. THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WHICH I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS SHOULD WARRANT AN ACTION FROM CHEVROLET TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH NO COSTS TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND YOU WILL SEE THE SITUATION. I HOPE AN ACTION TO CORRECT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHEVROLET BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY AN DESIGN ISSUE. WHY DO THE OWNERS HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND DEFINITELY AN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE OTHER ISSUE IS VERY SERIOUS. THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN DRIVE OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. CASE IN POINT, MY WIFE STOPPED AT THE SERVICE STATION TO FILL UP WITH FUEL,LEFT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION CLOSE THE DOOR AND STARTED TO FUEL UP. PART WAY IN THE FILLING AS SHE STOOD THERE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE,HER PURSE INSIDE ON THE SEAT AND THE DOORS LOCKED ON THEIR OWN. SHE THEN HAD TO BARROW SOMEONE'S CELL PHONE TO CALL ON-STAR TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ON IT AND THOUGHT SHE HAD DID SOMETHING TO TRIGGER THE ACTION. WELL ONE DAY I WAS IN THE SITTING TRUCK AND WAITING FOR MY WIFE. I HAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION,THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING AND THEN THE DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES. I DID NOTHING TO TRIGGER THIS. NOW I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG. THIS LOCKING BY THEMSELVES WILL BE VERY SERIOUS IF A MOTHER HAS AN CHILD OR INFANT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND HE OR SHE IS POSSIBLY GETTING FUEL OR SOMETHING. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED AND THE CHILD OR INFANT STARTED CHOKING OR CONVULSIONS OR A VERY HOT DAY AND HELP IS MANY MINUTES AWAY. DOES CHEVROLET NOT CARE? *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER ONLY WORKS SPORADICALLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT 0 EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, SOMETIMES IT SHOWS THAT I AM GOING FASTER THAN WHAT I AM (I.E. SHOWING 110 WHEN MY GPS UNIT SHOWED 70), AND MOST OF THE TIME IT SHOWS I AM GOING SLOWER THAN I AM, BY AT LEAST 5-10 MPH. I WAS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF GM VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT THAT GM HAS ONLY ISSUED RECALLS ON A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC VEHICLES. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO GET A DIAGNOSTIC RUN AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND THAT THEY COULD PROBABLY FIX IT FOR ME EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WENT AND HAD THE DIAGNOSTIC DONE, AND GM CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BUT DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE, THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THEY DID ADMIT THAT SEVERAL OF THEIR VEHICLES HAD SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIM INTERMITTENTLY, HEAT LOOSES POWER AT THE SAME TIME, NOW GETTING FLICKERING OF INTERIOR LIGHTS. WASN'T ABLE TO FIX IT. BUMPER WARPING. GETTING 10 MILES TO THE GALLON! PAINT ON BUTTONS WEARING ON RADIO. SUN ROOF LEAKED PROFUSELY, HAD IT FIXED. REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER DOESN'T WORK. HEAD LINER SAGGED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT HAS NOT REGISTERED THE CORRECT SPEED IN A MONTH. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. IT COSTS OVER $420 TO REPAIR. GMC WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST COSMETIC THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. CAR IS IN FINE CONDITION BUT FOR SOME REASON THE CAR DIED. IT RESTARTED AND RAN RUFF. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME TOW IT IN. THEY RAN "TESTS" AND SAID MY BATTERY TERMINALS WERE LOOSE. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT AGREE. THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING. TODAY JUNE 2 RUSH OUR APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION CAR JUST DIED AGAIN. CAR IS NOT FINE. BOTH TIMES I WAS LUCK TO BE AWAY FROM OTHERS BUT IF NOT.....EVERYTHING FAILED INCLUDING MY BRAKE LIGHTS. IF THERE WAS ANYONE NEAR ME THAN YES THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERTY DAMAGE, A CRASH AND A REPORT TO THE POLICE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 TRAIL BLAZER FOR 2 YEARS, AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES, AND HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED TWICE. I'LL BE TAKING IT IN AGAIN TOMORROW, DUE THE DIMMING/FLASHING LIGHTS, AND WHINING NOISE. SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE, ALTERNATOR AGAIN I'M SURE. I AM HOPING TO SELL IT, AND NEVER BUY CHEVY AGAIN. VERY IRRITATING! *TR

LATE EVENING, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN A SNOW STORM AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE POWER DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. I COULD NOT GO OVER 10 MPH AND BARELY MADE IT UP THE OFF RAMP TO BE STRANDED 3 1/2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. I SPENT A TOTAL OF $700 TO GET THE ALTERNATOR AND I-PULLEY REPLACED. THE OLD PART WAS NOT RETURNED OR I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $50. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER PURCHASED WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT IN 2006. DECEMBER 07 WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT, LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER. DEALER SAID WAS NECESSARY TO RESET COMPUTER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER COMPUTER RESET, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER (PULLED CODE FOR AIR CHECK VALVE), RESET THE LIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER WHERE IT PULLED ANOTHER CODE... AFTER THE THIRD TIME, THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND WERE TOLD TO RESET THE COMPUTER BACK TO ORIGINAL SETTING AND EITHER THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH OR THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY NORMAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITHIN THREE DAYS, THE LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT ONCE THEY DO FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT GIVE AN ESTIMATED DATE AS TO WHEN THAT WOULD BE! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I THINK A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE STARTED!! *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I BOUGHT IT WITH 24,000 MILES. THE FIRST THING WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TESTS WOULD SHOW NOTHING. THEN THE WHINING STARTED. THIS WAS FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. NEXT THE FLICKERING LIGHTS. IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT (OR THAT IS WHEN I NOTICE THEM). WHEN THE FLICKERING STARTED THE LUNGING STARTED. THIS IS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP OR GOING SLOW MY CAR SEEMS TO JUMP FORWARD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR WHEN THEY CHECKED THESE PROBLEMS OUT. NEXT WHEN MAKING U-TURNS MY CAR WOULD JUST DIE. SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC I WOULD HAVE TO THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. AGAIN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NOTHING. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STARTED TO JUMP OR FAIL TO WORK ALTOGETHER. AND MOST RECENTLY THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND AND MY CAR WAS RUNNING AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO DIE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN $500.00 WORTH OF TEST TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR AT 60,000 MILES WAS FIRING INCORRECTLY IN THE 1ST CYLINDER. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $4,000.00. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLAMPS FLICKER OR DIM WHILE DRIVING, SIMILAR TO A POWER SURGE. THE DEALER WAS INITIALLY UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. WHEN THE FAILURE WAS ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A REPAIR. AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER OF 2007, THE STEERING COLUMN MADE A SPARKING SOUND AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE ONCE MORE. ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2007, THE RADIO AND ALL THE COMPONENTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED FOR THEM TO EVENTUALLY OPERATE AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE DOME LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED TWICE. THE REAR HATCHBACK LATCH WAS REPLACED TWICE. WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE KEY BUZZER WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND. ON JANUARY 25, 2008, THE REAR WIPER MOTOR WAS REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN ON MARCH 4, 2008. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,182 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70. UPDATED 4/2/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE EMBLEM ON THE REAR TAILGATE LOOSING COLOR, BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE WORN. UPDATED 04/02/08 *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER USED IN JUNE OF 2007 WITH 34,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE LICENSE PLATE FIXED 3 TIMES FOR THE GLUE MELTING AND RUNNING DOWN THE TAILGATE. THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN RAN FOR EXTENDED TRIPS DOESN'T BLOW LIKE IT SHOULD, THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT TWICE. THE WHOLE LIGHT FLICKERING THING IS ANNOYING AND PROBABLY COULD BE AVOIDED WITH A STRONGER ALTERNATOR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR SECONDARY AIR INJECTION MALFUNCTION CONVENIENTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, ITS ALL DUE TO A CRAPPY CHECK VALVE THAT IS MADE WITH A METAL THAT CORRODES EASILY CAUSING IT TO STICK. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS HAPPEN BUT THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO GO BROKE FIXING THEIR MISTAKES. OR JUST DO SOME QUALITY CONTROL ON VEHICLES BEFORE THEY ARE MASSED PRODUCED. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HEADLIGHTS FLASHING AFTER DARK. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH AROUND DUSK OR AFTER DARK AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM. SHE STATES THAT PEOPLE IN TRAFFIC BELIEVE SHE IS DOING THIS ON PURPOSE AND SHE IS NOT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON AUTOMATIC AND THEN THEY STARTED TO GO DIM. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE FADING IN AND OUT AS WELL. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 2006. THERE WAS ALOT OF HISSING FROM THE SPEAKERS, WHICH THEY REPLACED BUT IT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I ALREADY FIXED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND NOW I NOTICE THE LIGHTS GO DIM AND BRIGHT AND IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. IT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. EVERYTIME I BRING IT IN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN SO NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AND IT'S COLD IN WISCONSIN SO IF IT EVER DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND THE LIGHTS WILL DIM AND THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT GM HAS NO ANSWER FOR WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE PEOPLE THAT WILL PULL OVER FOR ME BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE SUV 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 30MPH, IF TAKE FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR, HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM TO ALMOST NO LIGHT AS WILL THE DASH LIGHTS, ON OFF, ON OFF, WHEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, LIGHTS WILL GO ON NORMALLY WITH SAME BRIGHTNESS. DOME LIGHT BUTTON TO LEFT OF STEERING WHEEL WILL WORK ONCE EVERY 50 TRIES, LIGHTS ON LEFT SIDE OF RADIO DO NOT WORK, CD PLAYER WILL NOT TAKE CDS. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT, IT HAS BEEN TO A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW, THEY HAVE STATED THAT EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY AND THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 0 (NO MATTER HOW FAST I'M GOING) WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY VEHICLES, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT IN THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

ON 1-23-08 MY WIFE TOOK VEHICLE TO PHILLIPS CHEVY IN FRANKFORT, ILL. WE ARE TOLD THAT IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER NEW CAR WARRANTY BECAUSE WE HAVE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. I CHECKED WITH CHEVY TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL IN FORCE AND THERE IS NOT. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER GM AND CHEVY OWNERS FOR VARIOUS YEARS THAT HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS A LAW SUIT IN WASHINGTON AND OREGON THAT ARE SEEKING CLASS-ACTION STATUS. I FEEL THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GM AND CHEVY AND THAT THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR OR REPLACE AS NEEDED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ON 4/15/05 SHORTLY THERE AFTER I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A WHINING SOUND. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION PULLEY. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF CHEVROLET TO INQUIRE ABOUT ASSISTANCE WITH PAYMENT CONSIDERING I WAS ABOUT 3, 000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS CHEVROLET ABSORBED THIS COST. THEN IN SEPT. OF 2005, MY HUSBAND TOTALED HIS CAR AND I PURCHASED A 2005 TRAILBLAZER FOR HIM. AGAIN THIS CAR BEGAN MAKING SIMILAR NOISES AND MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME WITH OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON AND THE CAR BEGAN SMOKING. MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CONTACT ROADSERVICE. ONCE WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC HE SAID THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION PULLEY WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DIE. WE TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE ONCE AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY WOULD NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IT SEEMS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS THE RESULT OF AN OIL CHANGE THAT DID NOT OCCUR AT THE 3000. THEY, THE DEALERSHIP BASED THIS OFF OF A STICKER THAT WAS IN THE WINDOW OF THE CAR. WHEN I WENT TO LOOK AT THE CAR THEY WAS NO OIL STICKER IN THE WINDOW. DESPITE THAT, I HAD CONTACTED THE CHEVY OFFICE ABOUT THE SAME WHINING NOISE THAT I HEARD IN MY CAR (THE IGNITION PULLEY) THAT MY HUSBAND WAS EXPERIENCING IN HIS CAR. THIS IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. WE WERE TOLD TO FIX THIS CAR IT WOULD COST $10,000.00, YES, FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE SINCE TOWED TO HOME IN ORDER TO AVOID STORAGE FEES. HERE SITS A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH APPROX. 50,000.00 AND A NEW TRANSMISSION IS NEEDED. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS AND ALSO PAY THE CAR NOTE ON IT AS WELL. AS A READ REPORTS, THIS IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MANY MANY TRAILBLAZERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS!!!!! *TR

ALTERNATOR FAILED. *TR

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY LIGHTS(INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR) FLICKERING (I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AT NIGHT). MY DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED MANY THINGS ON THEIR OWN AND SUGGESTIONS FROM CHEVROLET. THE ALTERNATOR WAS CHANGED, LIGHTS SWITCHES REPLACED, COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING RESOLVED BY CHEVROLET. THIS PROBLEM HAS SOME POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS IF THE EVENTS OCCUR DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. *TR

Mileage: 10,000

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ONLY, THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM ALONG WITH THE VOLTAGE GAUGE DROPPING DOWN. AFTER 10 OR SO SECONDS, THE VOLTAGE GAUGE RESETS TO 14 AND THE LIGHTS BRIGHTEN TO NORMAL. THE FLICKERING OCCURS AT STEADY DRIVING SPEEDS AS WELL AS DURING SLOW-DOWN. *TR

Mileage: 22,000

VOLTAGE DROPS OCCASIONALLY WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THIS CAUSES MY LIGHT TO DIM AND ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY VEHICLE RUNS FUNNY. I HAVEN'T REPLACED ANYTHING YET. I'M STILL TRYING TO GET TO A MECHANIC. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GIVES AN INACCURATE READING OR SOMETIMES STOPS WORKING ALTOGETHER. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN 2-3 WEEKS AGO AND FROM OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THAT I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH ONLINE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY UNTIL IT BECAME VERY OBVIOUS - IT WAS REGISTERING 30 MPH WHEN I WAS TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON AN INTERSTATE FREEWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND SITS FOR A WHILE, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO RESET ITSELF AND WORKS PROPERLY AGAIN FOR A WHILE, THEN THE PROBLEM BEGINS AGAIN. FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH INDICATES, IT IS A BAD STEPPER MOTOR THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM, WHICH REQUIRES SPECIALIZED TOOLS AND EXPERTISE TO REPLACE. THE COST IS IN THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. GIVEN THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM AND COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NHTSA. THANK YOU.*CN

LIGHTS (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL) DIM OR FLASH WHEN THE GAS IS LET OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, PEOPLE PULL OVER, FLASH YOU BACK, AND IN ONE INSTANCE I POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WORSE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS COLDER THAN 50 DEGREES. IT'S BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY EITHER NEGATE THE PROBLEM AS NORMAL OR CLAIM THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT. SOME GM EXPLANATIONS REFER TO LOW SPEEDS AND BRIEF DRIVE TIMES, I CAN SAY FIRST HAND IT'S HAPPENED EVERY MILE OF A 300 MILE TRIP, MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE READ NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS IN YOUR COMPLAINT DATABASE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT TO GET YOU TO MAKE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH (BRIGHT -> DIM -> BRIGHT) IN A FAST FASHION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WERE PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE ALLOWING THEM TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF THEM, ECT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. FROM WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ON FORUMS CHEVY SAYS THIS IS "NORMAL". DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. HERE IS A SITE I FOUND REGARDING THE ISSUE HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/TUCLLQK4UIF5NA0UT.

BASICALLY MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER CONTINUES TO GO DEAD WHILE DRIVING OR NOT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 5X AND THEY STILL CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SOMETIMES IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND AT OTHER TIMES IF I GO NOWHERE IT WILL NOT CRANK UP. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP HAS PUT IN 2 NEW BATTERIES WHICH WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AS THEY STATED. THEY HAVE ALSO KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST A WEEK TO SEE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHICH DID OCCUR. ONE DAY THEY WERE DRIVING IT THE NEXT DAY IT WOULDN'T START. THEY JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER STILL GOT NOTHING. THIS IS POSING A PROBLEM FOR ME SINCE I HAVE 3 YOUNG KIDS ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 5 THAT I DRIVE AROUND DAILY.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME LIGHT DIMMING/VOLTAGE DROP ISSUE ON MY '05 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THAT I SAW REPORTED BY MANY OTHERS ON THE WWW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE, I AM TOLD THAT LIGHTS DIMMING DURING QUICK DECELERATION WAS NORMAL, AND CAUSED BY AIR PUMP. WHILE GM MAY CONSIDER THIS NORMAL, I OBJECTED TO THAT CHARACTERIZATION AS ITWAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS AND ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIMMING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

WHEN I START UP MY TRAILBLAZER AND DRIVE OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND FLICKER. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR REPAIRS AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG, AND GAVE ME A BULLETIN FROM GM THAT STATED THIS IS A NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC DUE TO A SECONDARY AIR PUMP DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE, AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. I THINK THIS IS WRONG. THE LIGHTS FLASH SO MUCH PEOPLE THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. IF I SIT AND IDLE FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO, SOMETIMES THAT HELPS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T (THIS WAS GM'S "FIX"). IF IT'S COLD I HAVE TO IDLE IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND EVEN THEN IT DOESN'T ALWAYS STOP IT. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, STOP MY ENGINE, START IT AGAIN, WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN MERGE BACK INTO TRAFFIC AND JUST PRAY THE LIGHTS DIDN'T START FLICKERING AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM REPEATEDLY AND GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT (MORE NOTICEABLE), THE HEAD LIGHTS APPEAR TO DIM THEN BRIGHTEN (FLASHING THE VEHICLE AHEAD). WHILE THIS IS OCCURING, THE BATTERY GAUGE BOUNCE DRASTICALLY FROM MIN TO MAX THEN BACK TO THE MIDDLE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURING SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE JUNE 05. ALSO WHILE THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO LOSE RPM POWER SO AS YOU ARE DRIVING THERE IS A "JERK" IN THE FORWARD MOTION. *JB

MY WIFE DRIVES A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. ONE DAY ABOUT 1-2 MONTHS AGO SHE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK, ABOUT 20 MILES, AND THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENED ALL THE WAY HOME. I TOOK IT TO SMITH CHEVROLET IN LAURENS, S.C. (29360) TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX AND CHEVROLET WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS WAS ALSO A PROBLEM ON THE ENVOY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE DRAIN ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN A NUMBER OF COMPONENTS WERE DRAWING CURRENT AND THE SMOG SYSTEM OR PUMP CAME ON. I WAS GIVEN A FLYER THAT STATED WHAT COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM OF WHICH NONE COULD I ATTRIBUTE TO MY WIFE'S DRIVING STYLE. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY A PERSON SAYING HIS NAME IS JEREMY AT 866-790-5700 EXT. 22087. JEREMY OFFERED TO GIVE US A 12 MONTH 12,000 OR 18,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM THE DATE OF SERVICE AT SMITH'S. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 29,000 MILES ON IT SO THE WARRANTY WOULD BE FOR ABOUT 5,000 MILES. I DO NOT WANT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WANT THE CAR FIXED, REPLACED OR REFUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY WIFE. SHE IS OUT AT NIGHT WITH OUR 9 YEAR OLD SON AND SHE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE.

PURCHASED 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS OCT.28 06. SINCE THEN, TO DATE, VEH. HAS BEEN IN SHOP (DEALERSHIP 4X). 1. BRAKE REPAIR. ALL 4 CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAD ONLY 22,000. MILES. IN SHOP VERY 1ST WEEK OF PURCHASE. 2. BEEN COMPLAINING OF FLICKERING LIGHTS. WAS HANDED A GMC PRINTOUT STATING THEY DID NOT KNOW CAUSE. SO THEREFORE THE DEALERSHIP, HOOD CHEVROLET, COVINGTON LA. COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 3. COMPLAINED OF ENGINE ACCELERATION WHILE APPLYING BRAKE, COMING TO A STOP OR A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT. FEAR THAT I MAY CRASH INTO SOMEONE. RECEIVED PRINTOUT FROM GM STATING THIS WAS NORMAL. BUT I SEE THIS IS A HAZARD. 4. COMPLAINED OF SEAT BELT "RIDING" ON THE NECKLINE, RESTRICTING BLOOD FLOW IN LEFT ARTERY ON NECK. I SEE THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I COMMUTE 26 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AT A HOSPITAL. I THOUGHT I WOULD BE SAFER DRIVING MY TRAILBLAZER, NOW I FEAR FOR MY LIFE. 5. COMPLAINED OF POPPING ON FRONT END. SERVICE HAD TO ORDER SWAY LINKS AND REPLACE. DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM, STILL HAVE FRONTAL POPPING WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, REVERSE AND FORWARD. IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. FOUND OUT GM CERTIFIED TECH. DID NOT PROPERLY ALIGN CALIBERS WHEN INSTALLED. I HAVE PAID TO MUCH FOR THIS $23,000. LEMON. ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. SARAH DYKES, BOGALUSA LOUISIANA. *NM

ON 2 DIFFERENT TIMES I HAVE TAKEN MY 05 TRAILBLAZER TO THE DEALER FOR WORK TO DONE ON WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. THE HEADLAMPS AND INSIDE LAMPS WILL DIM AND THE BATTERY CHARGE GAUGE WILL DROP BELOW THE 14 AMPS GM CALL NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I FEEL IT IS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE BRIGHT LIGHTING THEM AND IT IS JUST PLAIN HARD TO SEE AT TIMES. IT SEEM TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN IT IS COLD AND DAMP. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, AND UNLESS GM DECIDES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT! *JB

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS DIM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, USUALLY ONLY MOMENTARILY BUT ON OCCASION HAS LASTED FOR UP TO 10 MINUTES. I FEEL IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. GM SAYS IT IS "NORMAL" *JB

TL* - THE CONTACT NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO DOWN TO LOW BEAMS. ONCE VEHICLE WAS WARM HE DIDN'T HAVE THIS FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD BARELY SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AND ANOTHER VEHICLES BLINKED THE LIGHTS TO INFORM HIM THAT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ON, BUT THE VEHICLE INDICATOR LIGHT DIDN'T SHOW THAT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO 4 TIMES , AND THE LAST TIME WAS TOLD THAT HIS AIR PUMP WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE STILL HAD NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WITH HIS HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT HAS CALLED GENERAL MOTORS, AND THEY TOOK HIS COMPLAINT. HE WAS TOLD BY GENERAL MOTORS THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON THIS FAILURE DUE TO OF THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THE CONTACT STATED THT HE HAD NO RESOLUTION FROM GENERAL MOTORS, AND HE HAS CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THE BBB GAVE HIM A CLAIM # 71438795446, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH GENERAL MOTOR AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS. *AK

NIGHT DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE VEHICLE A CHEVROLET TRAILBLZER LS 2005 HAS A PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS. THE TRAILBLAZER DECIDES TO DO THIS TOTALLY ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM. THIS CAUSES A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND DECIDE TO COME BACK ON AT RANDOM INTERVALS MAYBE APROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 SECONDS APART. SEVERAL ATTEMPS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. THEIR COMMENT IS THAT THEY EITHER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR THEIR IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT EXPLAINS THE ISSUE. I HAVE DONE THE PROCEDURES THAT THE DEALERSHIP DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICE BULLETINS WITH NO SUCCESS. CURRENTLY MY TRAILBLAZER IS BEING REPAIRED ONCE AGAIN AT TERRY LEE CHEVROLET AS OF 12-19-06. THE LAST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIR TERRY LEE CHEVROLET REPLACED WHAT THEY HAD THOUGH WAS A FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE. REPLACING THIS MODULE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND ON THURSDAY 12-14-06 THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN RETURNED. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDEREN AND WIFE WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING PRIMARILY AT NIGHT. I HAVE BECOME SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO ACTUALLY DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LIGHTS WILL DECIDE TO TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE THEM TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. *NM

HEADLIGHTS..FOR NO APPARENT REASON MY HEADLIGHT FLASH OFF AND RIGHT BACK ON AND THEN FLICKER AT A CONSTANT I HAVE TAKEN MY TRAILBLAZER TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM..I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES..THEY HAVE REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE..THE ONSTAR COMPUTER NOW YOU TELL ME WHY THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS BLOWING THESE THINGS OUT..WHY THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THEM. *JB

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN IT WAS STILL DARK THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER. THEY GOT REALLY DIM AND THEN CAME BACK TO FULL BRIGHTNESS. THIS HAPPENED FOR A PERIOD OF 15 - 20 MINUTES WHICH WAS WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME LATER THAT AFTERNOON THAT GM HAD BEEN CONTACTED AND THAT GM STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION AND THAT NO REPAIRS WERE WARRANTED. I FOUGHT WITH THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS NOT A NORMAL CONDITION AND THAT I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE DARK BECAUSE IT CAUSED A SAFETY ISSUE BOTH TO MYSELF AND TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS AND THEN TOLD ME THAT GM WAS AWARE THAT THERE WAS IN FACT A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR PUMP HOWEVER THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING ON AND OFF IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CARS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND ON COMING TRAFFIC THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY HIGH BEAMS AT THEM NOT TO MENTION THAT IT IS VERY DISTRACTING TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I AM SURE THAT EVENTUALLY, WHETHER IT IS MY VEHICLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AFTER LOOKING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE I HAVE FOUND 17 OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE OWNERS OF THOSE VEHICLES WERE ALSO GIVEN THE SAME "LAME" EXCUSE THAT I WAS GIVEN. *NM

THE DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED TO SAY IT WAS THE BATTERY SO THEY CHANGED IT. I PICKED IT UP BROUGHT IT HOME AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY LIKE BEFORE. THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT STUCK IN PARK AGAIN, THEY NOW HAVE SAID THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD , WHICH WOULD CAUSE IT NOT TO START AND BE STUCK IN PARK, SO I GUESS WE WILL SEE IF IT IS FIXED OR IF IT WILL GO BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ONE WEEK. *JB

ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER, WHEN THE AIR PUMP ENGAGES, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SURGES AND RESULTS IN THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING AND FLICKERING. THE FLICKERING LAST FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESUMES NORMALLY. HOWEVER, ONCE THE AIR PUMP ENGAGES AGAIN, THE SAME PROBLEM ERUPTS. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DUPLICATED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE MANUFACTURER INSISTS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY. *NM

I HAVE BROUGHT MY VECHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON THREE SEPRATE OCASIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING CONDITION: THE VOLTAGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 10 AND 15 VOLTS, CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL TO GO DIM, THEN BRIGHT AGAIN.*AK THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. TODAY 04/06/2005 THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY CONTACTED GM, AND STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VECHICLE IN WHICH HEADLIGHTS GOING DIM, THEN BRIGHT NORMAL. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AT TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE ARE TSBS STATING THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS TO ME CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ON GM TECHLINK: HTTP://WWW.GMTECHLINK.COM/IMAGES/ISSUES/CNT_MO/TLCME.HTML SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMMENT THAT THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL VOLTMETER IS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 12 AND 14 VOLTS ON THEIR NEW 2005 MODEL YEAR LIGHT DUTY FULL SIZE PICKUP/UTILITY VEHICLE. FOR 2005 MODEL YEAR, LIGHT DUTY FULL SIZE PICKUPS AND UTILITIES, ARE EQUIPPED WITH A NEW REGULATED VOLTAGE CONTROL (RVC) SYSTEM, COVERED IN THE SEPTEMBER 2004 TECHLINK. THE RVC SYSTEM ALLOWS CHANGES TO VEHICLE VOLTAGE, UP OR DOWN, UNDER VARIOUS SCENARIOS. BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE AND THE VEHICLE?S PRESENT ELECTRICAL NEEDS ARE ONLY TWO OF NUMEROUS CONDITIONS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. THIS WILL CAUSE THE VOLTMETER TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 12 AND 14 VOLTS. BY COMPARISON, CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS USUALLY MAINTAIN A MORE CONSISTENT READING OF 14 VOLTS. THIS FLUCTUATION WITH THE RVC SYSTEM IS NORMAL SYSTEM OPERATION AND NO REPAIRS SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED.
