2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I PURCHASED MY '05 TRAILBLAZER NEW OFF THE LOT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. COUPLE YEARS LATER MY OIL & GAS GAGE STOPPED WORKING. I BASED MY SPEED OFF MY RPM & CALCULATE MY GAS MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL UP. NOW MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE DIMMING & I'VE NOTICED ON MANY OCCASIONS MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER...I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE & THE WATER PUMP TWICE. NOW WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THIS OTHER LITTLE CHK GAGE LIGHT COMES ON, I DON'T KNOW IF A MALFUNCTION OF IF SOMETHING IS TRULY WRONG. NOW IT'S RUNNING ROUGH, ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO CUT OFF. THEY HAVE CHECKED ALL THAT THEY CAN BUT BECAUSE THE CHK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON, THERE'S NO WAY FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THE MECHANIC RIDES WITH ME OF COURSE THE CAR WON'T DO IT...AND ALTHOUGH, THESE ARE SEPARATE ISSUES I CAN'T WONDER IF REPLACING THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED THE SAME SYSTEM AS THE DASHBOARD. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DIFFER MECHANICS IT WOULD COST UP TO $600 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM. BUT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS, MANY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THIS PROBLEM COULD OR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL & IF NOT, WHY? IF YOU VIEW THE COMPLAINTS WHY NOT LOOK INTO THE VERY PRESENT & PERSISTENT PROBLEM! ITS VERY FRUSTRATING & AGGRAVATING TO PLAY A GUESSING GAME WHEN YOUR UP & DOWN A HIGHWAY DAILY! NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY HAZARD! SURELY, YOUR COMPANY ISN'T SO MONEY HUNGRY THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU PRODUCT & OFFER TO PAY FOR SOME OR ALL THE COSTS TO REPAIR! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 & I WAS BLESSED ENOUGH TO PAY MY CAR OFF A YEAR AGO BUT I'VE PAID MORE IN REPAIR COSTS & STRESSING WHETHER OR NOT I'LL MAKE IT SAFELY TO & FROM MY DESTINATION! I NEVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH MY GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE. I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR VEHICLE... *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY CRUISE CONTROL SHUT DOWN AND MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN WORKING AND NOW IT HAS STOPPED AGAIN AND STUCK ON 55 AND DOESN'T MOVE REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK. I AM VERY FRIGHTENED TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE TO REPAIR ALL THE PROBLEMS IT'S HAD. WONDERING IF THE SPEEDOMETER IS COVERED UNDER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEGUN TO HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEMS AND IN SPEAKING TO OTHER CHEVY OWNERS THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN OTHER MODELS AND YEARS OF CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUVS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT CHEVY CHOOSES NOT TO RECALL, WHICH IS WHY I'LL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVROLET. BEGINNING A FEW MONTHS AGO MY GAUGES BEGAN TO BE ERRATIC. STARTING WITH MY SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT ZERO AND THEN LATER STICKING AT 60MPH EVEN WHILE SITTING STILL. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. NEXT WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFICE LIGHTS OR STOPS SIGNS MY ENGINE BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD WITHOUT APPLYING THE GAS. WHEN THE VEHICLE SURGES THE RPM GAUGE ALSO JUMPS UP. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE TRANSMISSION AT 50K MILES AND NOW SINCE PASSING 100K MILES HAVE BEGUN TO HAVE ROUGH SHIFTING AGAIN IN MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN A ROUGH MANNER, SPEED, OR HAUL A TRAILER, SO THERE IS NO REASON TO BE GOING THROUGH TRANSMISSIONS. NOW MY FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I'M HAVING TO TRACK MY MILEAGE WITH MY ODOMETER. I'VE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS AND NO HELP OFFERED FROM THE MAKER. * TR

WAS DRIVING OTHER DAY AND LOOKED DOWN AT MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT SAID I WAS DOING 70MPH, AND I THOUGHT WELL MAYBE THE WIND WAS BEHIND ME. THEN I CAME TO A RED LIGHT, STOPPED AND SAW THAT IT SAID I WAS STILL DOING 20MPH (I WAS STOPPED).NICE GOING GM, YOUR BATTING 1000, FIRST ITS MY FUEL GAUGE NOW THE SPEEDOMETER WHAT'S NEXT? THIS IS MY FIRST CHEVY THAT I GOT FOR MY BIRTHDAY LAST YEAR WELL IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A YEAR SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE WORSE BIRTHDAY GIFT (TO MYSELF) EVER. WHY ARE ALL THE OTHER 2005 MODEL VEHICLES BEING RECALLED FOR THESE THINGS BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER? THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND GM SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR
