2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH UNDER 40,000 MILES AND VERY WELL-MAINTAINED. THIS IS A CONTINUING CONCERN AND HAVE HAD THE DEALER MECHANICS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE LIGHTS WILL DIM DRAMATICALLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND RETURN AFTER ACCELERATING FOR ANY LENGTH OR MAGNITUDE AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL BRIGHTNESS. TYPICALLY, THEY WILL DIM 3 TIMES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW SEVERE THIS COULD BECOME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID GM ACKNOWLEDGES THIS HAPPENING BUT SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND NO REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT DOES HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES A WEEK AND INCONSISTENTLY. I CANNOT IDENTIFY WHAT CAUSES IT OR WHAT CONDITIONS CONSISTENTLY EXIST. HOWEVER, THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL OR SAFE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED ALL THE TIME. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE CAR SAID I WAS DOING 110MPH. THE DEALER SAID FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY GET THIS PROBLEM A LOT. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER GM CARS WITH THE SAME GAUGES AS THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER. SO WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE TRAILBLAZER? *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT TYPICALLY WHILE "COASTING" BETWEEN 30-50 MPH MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY TRAILBLAZER DIM, THE BATTERY CHARGE GOES DOWN, AND THE BLOWER STOPS WORKING FOR JUST A SECOND. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING A SIMILAR, AND UNRESOLVED PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZERS AS WELL. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE HEADLIGHTS ARE NECESSARY, ALSO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE A CONSISTENCY WITH MANY CONSUMERS. MINE IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS. I HOPE IS MATTER IS LOOKED INTO MORE SINCE THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THAT IS GETTING IGNORED. WE NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK OUT FOR US! *TR

MY VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, BLINK, FLICKER OR FLASH WHEN TOO MUCH POWER IS GOING IN, I DON'T THINK THIS VEHICLE HAS A BIG ENOUGH ALTERNATOR, BUT THE DEALER OR GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME, THEY SAID ITS NORMAL. IF ITS NORMAL THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. IT IS JUST SO FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A VEHICLE IN A SHOP WHEN YOU NEED IT FOR DAY TO DAY LIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE AND ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE BLOG SITES THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER V6 LS SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHEVY HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL ALTHOUGH THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. MY SPEEDOMETER OFTEN READS 0-40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE A 3 AND 1 YEAR OLD WHO ARE WITH ME EVERY DAY IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS ALSO FAILED. I HAVE TO RELY ON MY TRIPOMETER TO KNOW WHEN TO REFUEL. I CANNOT AFFORD TO RUN OUT OF GAS WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW ENGLAND WINTER AROUND THE CORNER. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND REQUIRE CHEVY TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. WITH THE ECOMONY SO BAD, STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET, AND THE $400+ MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE THERE'S NO WAY I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP FIX THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU!!! *TR

I HAVE AN 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT THE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY ARE FLASHING. THEY DIM AND THEN COME VERY BRIGHT AGAIN NON-STOP. THIS CAN NOT BE SAFE BECAUSE FOR SEVERAL INSTANCES THEY ARE SO DIM THAT YOU CAN'T SEE IN THE DARK. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND GM SAID IT WAS NORMAL WHEN THE FAN KICKS ON. WELL IT IS NOT NORMAL OR IS IT SAFE. I CAN NOT MANUALLY FLICK THE LIGHTS AS FAST AS THEY FLICKER WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND GM NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT, AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS STRANGE SOUND LATELY WHEN I START IT UP AND IT GETS LOUDER AS YOU DRIVE IT. MY FATHER SAID THAT IT IS THE BEARINGS AND THE ALTERNATOR, SO I DECIDED TO LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND SAW MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON A SITE, AND WAS DIRECTED BY MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT HAPPY, AND I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE WARRANTY IS CONVENIENTLY UP JUST AS THIS IS HAPPENING. I WANT THIS CORRECT, AND SOMEONE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PUMP AND THE ELECTRICAL, WELL THEN THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FIX IT FOR FREE. *TR
