2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext 370

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

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

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS EXT AND THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, AND BATTERY GAUGES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS A DIMMING OF THE LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AND PEOPLE SOMETIMES THINK I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. ACCORDING TO HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=18419&HIGHLIGHT=GAS+GUAGE&PAGE=2 THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS OUT THERE THAT SAY THE SAME THING,THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS INCLUDING ACCIDENTS, SPEEDING TICKETS, RUNNING OUT OF GAS...THE PROBLEMS ARE ENDLESS I GUESS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS? ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMETHING SERIOUS TO HAPPEN? *TR

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

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

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