2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER MALFUNCTIONED. PROBLEMS INCLUDED THE NEEDLE STICKING IN ONE PLACE, NOT MOVING DOWN WHEN DECELERATING, AND EVEN SPINNING TO THE "6 O'CLOCK" POSITION BELOW THE GAUGE. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO FIND OUT INFORMATION AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO OFFER ME ANY HELP OR REIMBURSEMENT ASSISTANCE. *TR

GAS GAUGE ON VEHICLE DOES NOT GIVE ACCURATE GAS LEVEL IN TANK. READINGS ON THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATE WITH VEHICLE IN PARK, GIVES EMPTY WARNING DING WHEN TANK IS FULL, AND READINGS ON GAUGE FLUCTUATE ERRATICALLY AT TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. HAVE BEEN STUCK ON HIGHWAY WITH AN EMPTY FUEL TANK A COUPLE TIMES WITH MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE IN VEHICLE SO I NO LONGER PUT MY FAMILY IN IT.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. 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. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS FAILURE ARE THAT I HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR MY MILEAGE AT ALL TIMES, RESET THE MILEAGE EACH TIME I REFILL MY GAS TANK, AND NOTIFY ANY PERSONS OTHER THAN MYSELF THAT DRIVE MY VEHICLE THAT THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. 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

YES MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT TELL ME THE CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT IN THE FUEL TANK ,WHEN I FILL MY TANK UP WITH GAS. THE GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND WHEN DRIVING IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL ITS JUST A INCONVENIENCE NOT KNOWING IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN OUT OF GAS OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS SEEMS LIKE A ONGOING PROBLEM ALSO ILL BE DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST START FLICKERING ON AND OFF PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM THANK YOU . *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES WILDLY. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MONITOR THE TANK BY TRACKING MILEAGE. MY WIFE USED THE CAR AND INADVERTENTLY SUBTRACTED THE MILES INCORRECTLY AND RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE FAST LANE OF THE 405 FREEWAY !! A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO ONE WAS HURT, JUST A LOT OF STRESS AND A RESCUE MISSION. THE GAUGE NOW STAYS ON, OR JUST ABOVE EMPTY. CHEVY DEALER WANTS 800.00 FOR REPAIR AND SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. MY ON-LINE RESEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF THIS CAR HAVE THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOM. MOST DEFINITELY THEIR PROBLEM !! IN ADDITION, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I WAS PULLED OVER ON THE I 15 FOR DOING 88 WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER READ 70. (I'M 58 AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TICKET) ON PULLING OVER THE SPEEDOMETER CAME TO REST AT 25 MPH. THE OFFICER UNDERSTOOD AND LET ME GO WITH A WARNING TO GET IT FIXED. MY PROBLEM....I NEED CHEVY TO FIX IT !! *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (82,000 MILES). 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. DEALER SAYS IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE OVER 20 MPH, IT HAS NO POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE COMPUTER FAILURE. MY TRAILBLAZER WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE, THAN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT, FRONT SIGNALS WENT OUT, SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, ALL WITHIN AN HOUR. 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. SO THE REPAIR FEE IS GOING TO BE A FORTUNE. I FIND IT ODD THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME KIND OF ISSUES AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!! *TR

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
