2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext 370

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. HAS NOT WORKED FOR A LONG TIME NOW. I WILL NOT PAY 800.00 TO GET IT FIXED. STOPPED WORKING AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. FINALLY RAN OUT OF GAS 1/25/11. I DID NOT KNOW THE POWER STEERING WOULD QUIT WORKING. I WAS SCARED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STEER IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I FINALLY DID, IT WAS HARD, BUT THANK GOD AND LUCKILY DID NOT GO OVER THE EMBANKMENT. *TR

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER JUST QUIT WORKING. WE CAN BE SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 50MPH. IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE AND LATER WILL EVEN DROP BELOW THE ZERO MARK. WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST WE ARE TRAVELING WHEN THIS OCCURS. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING FROM OH TO IN, I HAD TO GUESS HOW FAST I WAS GOING ON THE FREEWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED OUR READING 45MPH, SO I ESTIMATED THAT I HAD TO TRAVEL AT 110 MPH TO GO 65MPH. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS JUMPING FROM ONE SPEED TO THE NEXT, NOT GRADUALLY CLIMBING LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS PROBLEM IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. I NEVER KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES THAT CAN ENSUE. SPEEDING TICKETS, ENDANGERING OTHERS' AS WELL AS OUR OWN LIVES BY DRIVING TOO FAST OR TOO SLOW, OR CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN GENERAL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM UNDEREMPLOYED AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT THIS TIME. *LN

CAR IS OVER WARRANTY AND WAS BROUGHT USED FROM A FORMER GM DEALER AT UNDER 50K. I CONTACTED GM IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND THEY STATED THAT THEY MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME. GM INITIATED CONTACT IN DECEMBER OF 2010 AND TOLD ME TO GET A FULL DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEMS AND STATED THAT IT WAS OK TO GO TO THE FORMER GM DEALER. I PAID OVER $100 FOR THIS DIAGNOSIS AND THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER..THE SPEEDOMETER HAS WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK..IT IS READING 80 MPH SOMETIMES AND WHEN I TAKE OFF IT GOES WAY OVER 120 MPH.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE READY SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 5 YEARS AND I BOUGHT IT WHEN IT WAS NEW AND I'VE PUT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS TRUCK THIS PAST 10 MONTHS AND NOW ITS GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER $500 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIX. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FROM GM. I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN TO THE BBB. MY LATE HUSBAND WAS A GM EMPLOYEE AND HE WORKED FOR THEM FOR 15 YEARS AND WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT LAST MARCH AND GM HAS JACKED ME AROUND SINCE THEN AND NOW I HAVE THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT GOING TO BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE THE NEXT TIME. PLEASE FIX THIS VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. I'M A SINGLE PARENT ON SSI NOW AND CANT AFFORD THIS AND ITS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS TRUCK. IT NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2005 TRAILBLAZER IS MISLEADING. YOU CAN BE DOING 70MPH AND IT WILL ONLY REGISTER 50 MPH. SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE DOING 20 MPH AND IT WILL REGISTER 120 MPH. BUT 80% OF THE TIME THE SPEEDOMETER IS CORRECT (I THINK). THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY TO NEW DRIVERS (MY DAUGHTER WHO JUST TURNED 16). GM IS PROVIDING MISLEADING INFORMATION TO THE DRIVER AND YOU HAVE NO INDICATION THAT IT IS INCORRECT. *TR
