2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext 370

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AT NIGHT THOUGHT WAS BATTERY HAD IT CHECKED OUT THE BATTERY WAS BAD THAT WAS BACK IN SEPT. THEN AROUND JAN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DOING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY SPEEDOMETER GOES FROM 70 TO 120 MPH AND THEN GOES DOWN TO NEUTRAL LIGHTS ARE FLICKING AGAIN AS WELL AND BATTERY IS FINE. *TR

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

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

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

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

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