2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext 370

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

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

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

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN DEC. 2009 I FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY REGISTERED EMPTY THE FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED IT WILL COST $558.00 TO REPAIR. IN FEBRUARY THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 120 MPH WHILE SITTING STILL FOR A STOP SIGN NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I CONTACTED GEN MOTORS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN AND WAS ASKED TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT ED BOZART CHEVORLET. BY A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS THEY CONTACTED DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE FOR CHEVY AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP US. THE TOTAL COST TO FIX OUR CAR IS $1,258.00. WE WERE TOLD TO FIX THE CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS AND IF THEY DECIDED TO RECALL THE TRAILBLAZER WE MIGHT BE REIMBURSED. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE COMPUTER CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. *TR
