2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER. ITS A GREAT VEHICLE BUT PROBLEM'S OF GREAT CONCERN HAVE RISEN. I WOULD LIKE TO PETITION TO HAVE CHEVROLET TO DISPLAY A CAMPAIGN FOR THE RECALL AND CORRECTION OF A FUEL GAGE PROBLEM WHICH MYSELF AND MANY,MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE HAVING. IT INVOLVES THE FUEL GAGE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY DISPLAYING EMPTY AND OR A VARIETY OF LEVELS OF THE FUEL TANK. THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WHICH I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS SHOULD WARRANT AN ACTION FROM CHEVROLET TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH NO COSTS TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND YOU WILL SEE THE SITUATION. I HOPE AN ACTION TO CORRECT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHEVROLET BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY AN DESIGN ISSUE. WHY DO THE OWNERS HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND DEFINITELY AN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE OTHER ISSUE IS VERY SERIOUS. THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN DRIVE OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. CASE IN POINT, MY WIFE STOPPED AT THE SERVICE STATION TO FILL UP WITH FUEL,LEFT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION CLOSE THE DOOR AND STARTED TO FUEL UP. PART WAY IN THE FILLING AS SHE STOOD THERE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE,HER PURSE INSIDE ON THE SEAT AND THE DOORS LOCKED ON THEIR OWN. SHE THEN HAD TO BARROW SOMEONE'S CELL PHONE TO CALL ON-STAR TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ON IT AND THOUGHT SHE HAD DID SOMETHING TO TRIGGER THE ACTION. WELL ONE DAY I WAS IN THE SITTING TRUCK AND WAITING FOR MY WIFE. I HAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION,THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING AND THEN THE DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES. I DID NOTHING TO TRIGGER THIS. NOW I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG. THIS LOCKING BY THEMSELVES WILL BE VERY SERIOUS IF A MOTHER HAS AN CHILD OR INFANT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND HE OR SHE IS POSSIBLY GETTING FUEL OR SOMETHING. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED AND THE CHILD OR INFANT STARTED CHOKING OR CONVULSIONS OR A VERY HOT DAY AND HELP IS MANY MINUTES AWAY. DOES CHEVROLET NOT CARE? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN 2007. WHILE DRIVING 30MPH, HE NOTICED A BURNING WIRE ODOR, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND DISCOVERED THAT A FIRE ERUPTED UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A 10-INCH AMP THAT SHOULD HAVE BLOWN THE FUSE TO PREVENT A FIRE FROM OCCURRING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 107,000. UPDATED 10/03/08 *BF UPDATED 10/07/08. 8JB

MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER ONLY WORKS SPORADICALLY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT 0 EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, SOMETIMES IT SHOWS THAT I AM GOING FASTER THAN WHAT I AM (I.E. SHOWING 110 WHEN MY GPS UNIT SHOWED 70), AND MOST OF THE TIME IT SHOWS I AM GOING SLOWER THAN I AM, BY AT LEAST 5-10 MPH. I WAS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF GM VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT THAT GM HAS ONLY ISSUED RECALLS ON A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC VEHICLES. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO GET A DIAGNOSTIC RUN AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND THAT THEY COULD PROBABLY FIX IT FOR ME EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WENT AND HAD THE DIAGNOSTIC DONE, AND GM CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BUT DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE, THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THEY DID ADMIT THAT SEVERAL OF THEIR VEHICLES HAD SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. CAR IS IN FINE CONDITION BUT FOR SOME REASON THE CAR DIED. IT RESTARTED AND RAN RUFF. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME TOW IT IN. THEY RAN "TESTS" AND SAID MY BATTERY TERMINALS WERE LOOSE. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT AGREE. THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING. TODAY JUNE 2 RUSH OUR APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION CAR JUST DIED AGAIN. CAR IS NOT FINE. BOTH TIMES I WAS LUCK TO BE AWAY FROM OTHERS BUT IF NOT.....EVERYTHING FAILED INCLUDING MY BRAKE LIGHTS. IF THERE WAS ANYONE NEAR ME THAN YES THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERTY DAMAGE, A CRASH AND A REPORT TO THE POLICE. *TR
