2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

AS I WAS DRIVING ON FLORENCE BLVD MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE OIL GAUGE WASNT REGISTERING BUT THE OTHERS WERE WORKING OK. NOW ALL OF THEM DO NOT WORK EXCEPT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE ONE OR TWO OF THEM MIGHT START WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN THEY WILL STOP WORKING. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY LET FAULTY PRODUCTS GO THRU QC NOW THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON&OFF A LOT RIGHT AFTER FUELING, I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP&HAD THE CAMSHAFT REPLACED BECAUSE IT KEPT CUTTING OFF EVERY TIME I TURNED A CURVE.I TRIED TO SHOW OR TELL THEM ABOUT THIS GMC RECALL LETTER I GOT ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT DIDN'T APPLY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE&I TOLD THEM THE CAR IS NOT 10YRS OLD& THE PAPER IS SAYING 10YRS/120,00 MILES& FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THE MANGER CAN SEND MY BILL & RECEIPT IN FOR REIMBURSEMENT THEY WOULDN'T DO IT.I GUESS BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN.DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS AND GAUGE'S LIT UP AND THE CAR CUT OFF. IT DID NOT LOCK UP SO I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT FROM THE MIDDLE LANE OF A THREE LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TO THE GRASS ON THE SIDE WITHOUT GETTING KILLED OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE.I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP WITH GAS WITH A QUARTER OF A TANK FROM THE FULL LINE. ONCE I GOT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THANKING GOD THAT THIS WAS NOT TRAGIC,I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT BACK UP. IT STARTED BACK UP AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET A FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK&IT SHOWED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW WEEKS LATER AFTER I WOULD CUT THE CAR OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULD NOT STOP&THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON EVERY OTHER TIME I HIT THE BRAKES. I HAD TO KEEP TAKING OUT FUSE #35 TO GET IT TO STOP EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS CUT OFF JUST SO THE BATTERY WON'T RUN DOWN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED AN ARM&LEG TO GET IT FIXED. I SHOWED THEM THE RECALL LETTER AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THEM OR MYSELF TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECEIPTS & THE LETTER FROM GMC ABOUT THE RECALLS.IM SURE MY VEHICLE FITS IN THERE SOMEWHERE WITH THESE PROBLEMS& TRULY WOULD LIKE 4 THEM 2 GIVE MY FREE CAR. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS AFTER FILLING TANK - IT READS EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AND INTERMITTENTLY THEREAFTER AT ANY FUEL LEVEL. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR TRAVELING ANY LONG DISTANCE AS YOU ARE NOT QUITE SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS AVAILABLE OR IF IT WILL SHUT DOWN ON ME DURING A DIFFICULT SITUATION. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK IT AND THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE MODELS TO GM. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS I TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY - I FEEL THAT THIS PUTS ME IN HARMS WAY. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD PAY TO A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT BUT DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER WAS VISITING MY PARENTS IN VIRGINIA AND I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO GO AROUND A CURVE AND THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T TURN. I LOOKED AY MY DAUGHTER AND SAID "OH _ _ _ _" AND SHE ASK ME WHAT 'S WRONG? I SAID THE STEERING DIDN'T TURN AND IT WASN'T BUT SECONDS LATER, WE SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND WE ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES AND ENDED UP ON THE ROOF. I IMMEDIATELY WENT UNCONSCIOUS BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT. I HAD A BIG GASH ON MY HEAD AND WAS BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND I WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING BECAUSE BOTH OF MY LUNGS WERE PUNCTURED. ALL THE WINDOWS BURST OUT SO MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO ASK SOMEONE FOR HELP BUT MY SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE SO THERE WAS AN ISSUE GETTING ME OUT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT SOMEONE THAT STOPPED HAD A POCKET KNIFE AND CUT THE SEATBELT TO GET ME OUT. I HAD A BAD CONCUSSION AND I KEPT GOING IN AND OUT . I HAD THREE BROKEN RIBS, THREE PELVIC FRACTURES, A BAD CONTUSION ON MY ELBOW AND I STILL HAVE A SWOLLEN KNOT ABOUT TWO AND A HALF INCHES ON MY LEFT LEG. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BACK AND I AM IN CONSTANT PAIN AND ON IMPACT, MY SEAT BELT JERKED AND CAUGHT MY BREAST AND I NOW HAVE FIVE CYST WITH THE LARGEST ONE BEING ONE INCH AND THEY ARE VERY PAINFUL. I HAVE TO WATCH IT VERY CLOSELY BECAUSE OF A CANCER RISK CALLED INFLAMMATION CANCER. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR THREE DAYS AND I HAVE TO CONTINUE RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE BECAUSE OF THESE INJURIES. MY DAUGHTER IS YOUNG AND NOW SHE HAS BACK PROBLEMS AND PTSD AND SHE ALSO CONTINUES TO RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE . THIS HAS REALLY IMPACTED AND CHANGED MY LIFE AND MY DAUGHTERS LIFE AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE LIFE LONG INJURIES AND ISSUES BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR
