2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

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. I EXPERIENCE A FENDER BENDER ACCIDENT WHEN MY VEHICLE DIDN'T STOP AND BUMPED ANOTHER CARS BACK BUMPER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I AM FED UP WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. *TR LINDA VANAUKEN

MY SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING BIZARRE, IT JUST GOES ROUND AND ROUND, STARTED ABUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2003 & 2004 WERE RECALLED FOR THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. NOW WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, MY GAS GAGE HAS GONE CRAZY NOT SHOWING ACCURATELY, FIRST ON EMPTY LIGHT ON LOW FUEL, THEN WHILE I'M DRIVING LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND IT REGISTERS TO SHOW FULL TAKE WHEN ACTUALLY I MAY HAVE 1/2 TANK. I TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP EACH ITEM IS OVER 300.00 FOR REPAIR. HE SUGGESTED TO LOOK INTO SEE IF THE CENSOR WAS RECALLED FOR THE GAS, AND THAT 03 & 04 WAS RECALLED FOR THE SPEEDOMETER AND IF 05'S WERE BEING RECALLED. *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

IN MARCH 2007 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON . I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP EITHER CLOGGED, NOT RUNNING OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WITH IT. EVER SINCE THEN ALL THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BECAME BRIGHT THEN DIMMED FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. AFTER LEAVING FOR WORK AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE TO TURN, AND THEN AGAIN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE HEADLAMPS STARTED TO FLICKER. SOMETIMES IT FLICKERED A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO WORK , ONLY 25 MINUTES FROM HOME. I HAVE NOTICED THE BATTERY GAUGE FLUCTUATED WHILE THIS IS HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. ALSO, I AM NOT SURE THIS WAS RELATED, BUT EVER SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE"LIGHT PROBLEM THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT DIDN'T WORK ON 5, BUT IT DID BLOW SOME ON THE OTHER LEVELS, AND THAT VARIED TOO. I HAVE HAD THE AIR CONDITIONING RECHARGED, TO NO AVAIL, IT ACTED LIKE THERE WAS A LEAK SOMEWHERE. HOPEFULLY ,GM OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL FIND THE SOLUTION BEFORE THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR EVEN A CASE OF ROAD RAGE DUE TO OTHER DRIVERS THINKING I WA S FLASHING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS AT THEM. *AK
