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

GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING, COST TO FIX AT DEALERSHIP EST. $1800, EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM WHILE DRIVING, DEALERSHIP CANT FIND PROBLEM, CAR SEEMS TO "JUMP" OR LEAP FORWARD WHILE COASTING OR WHEN APPLY BRAKE, DEALERSHIP CANT FIND THE PROBLEMS OR CAUSE, CAR STALLS AND RPM DROP IF GAS PEDAL NOT PUSHED, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED AUTOMATICALLY AND WONT TURN OFF. HAD TO TAKE FUSE OUT, THEREFORE NO WIPERS. ALL THESE ITEMS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE FAMILY DRIVING. THE ONLY PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND WAS THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR WHICH IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND COST $1800. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER IS GOING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OR RECOMMENDED ONE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. NO ONE CAN FIND THE "PROBLEM". *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER: 1) SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ WRONG SPEED WHILE DRIVING, NEEDLE WOULD MAX OR ZERO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND NOW IS COMPLETELY NOT WORKING; CAN NOT DETERMINE CORRECT SPEED WHICH COULD LEAD TO TICKET OR ACCIDENT. 2) WIPERS STAY ON WITH SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, MUST PULL FUSE TO STOP THEM; WIPERS ARE DISTRACTION GOING ACROSS DRY WINDOW OR MUST STOP TO PUT FUSE IN IF WEATHER REQUIRES. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS IN SHOP FOR REPAIR. FIRST REPLACEMENT PART FOR WIPERS DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. THROUGH VIEWING OTHER INTERNET COMMENTS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE AN UNEXPECTED DRIVER IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DO TO THESE ISSUES. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE DAYS, WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD, MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. THE FIRST TIME IN WENT TO ZERO MPH AND STAYED THERE. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT WORKED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY, IT READ INCORRECTLY - SAID I WAS AT 55 BUT WAS ACTUALLY GOING 85 (SPOUSE WAS FOLLOWING BEHIND ME IN ANOTHER CAR). *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN THE SPRING OF 2007. AROUND DECEMBER 2007 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED HANGING UP. IT IS STILL DOING IT TODAY. THE WORST TIME FOR IT TO HAPPEN IS ON COLD DAYS. I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT THIS SUMMER. NOW WITH THE FALL OF THE YEAR AND COLDER DAYS, IT HAS BEGUN HANGING UP AGAIN ALMOST EVERYDAY. BECAUSE OF THIS I AM NOT SURE OF MY CORRECT SPEED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED MANY RECALLS ON OTHER MAKES AND MODEL, BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AS IT HAS BEEN ON OTHERS. *TR

AT LOW RPMS THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD /REVERSE DEPENDING WHICH GEAR YOU ARE IN . THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT WANTS IT IS NOT A CONSTANT . IT IDLES HIGH AND SURGES. FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN FEB DEALER DID NOTHING . NEXT OCCURRENCE IT ALMOST HIT MY DAUGHTERS FRIEND WHEN SHE PASSED IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN DEALER DID NOTHING AND FINALLY THE LAST OCCURRENCE IT LUNGED INTO A TREE. AGAIN DEALER AND GM FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE MITCHELL REPAIR COMPANY THAT STATES THAT THE YEAR MAKE OF MY TRUCK THIS HAS HAPPENED . HOWEVER GM DENIES THIS. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM AND FLICKER. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

MY TRAILBLAZER HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT IT WILL SUDDENLY LURCH AHEAD OR SURGE AHEAD. IT WILL SOMETIMES DO IT WHILE I AM DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE ME TO PROCEED INTO A MAIN INTERSECTION. THE LOCAL DEALER SHOWED ME A GM NOTICE THAT STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF A PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR
