2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

LATE EVENING, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN A SNOW STORM AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE POWER DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. I COULD NOT GO OVER 10 MPH AND BARELY MADE IT UP THE OFF RAMP TO BE STRANDED 3 1/2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. I SPENT A TOTAL OF $700 TO GET THE ALTERNATOR AND I-PULLEY REPLACED. THE OLD PART WAS NOT RETURNED OR I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $50. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER PURCHASED WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT IN 2006. DECEMBER 07 WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT, LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER. DEALER SAID WAS NECESSARY TO RESET COMPUTER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER COMPUTER RESET, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER (PULLED CODE FOR AIR CHECK VALVE), RESET THE LIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER WHERE IT PULLED ANOTHER CODE... AFTER THE THIRD TIME, THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND WERE TOLD TO RESET THE COMPUTER BACK TO ORIGINAL SETTING AND EITHER THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH OR THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY NORMAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITHIN THREE DAYS, THE LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT ONCE THEY DO FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT GIVE AN ESTIMATED DATE AS TO WHEN THAT WOULD BE! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I THINK A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE STARTED!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLAMPS FLICKER OR DIM WHILE DRIVING, SIMILAR TO A POWER SURGE. THE DEALER WAS INITIALLY UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. WHEN THE FAILURE WAS ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A REPAIR. AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER OF 2007, THE STEERING COLUMN MADE A SPARKING SOUND AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE ONCE MORE. ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2007, THE RADIO AND ALL THE COMPONENTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED FOR THEM TO EVENTUALLY OPERATE AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE DOME LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED TWICE. THE REAR HATCHBACK LATCH WAS REPLACED TWICE. WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE KEY BUZZER WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND. ON JANUARY 25, 2008, THE REAR WIPER MOTOR WAS REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN ON MARCH 4, 2008. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,182 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70. UPDATED 4/2/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE EMBLEM ON THE REAR TAILGATE LOOSING COLOR, BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE WORN. UPDATED 04/02/08 *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I BOUGHT IT WITH 24,000 MILES. THE FIRST THING WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TESTS WOULD SHOW NOTHING. THEN THE WHINING STARTED. THIS WAS FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. NEXT THE FLICKERING LIGHTS. IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT (OR THAT IS WHEN I NOTICE THEM). WHEN THE FLICKERING STARTED THE LUNGING STARTED. THIS IS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP OR GOING SLOW MY CAR SEEMS TO JUMP FORWARD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR WHEN THEY CHECKED THESE PROBLEMS OUT. NEXT WHEN MAKING U-TURNS MY CAR WOULD JUST DIE. SINCE IT IS AN AUTOMATIC I WOULD HAVE TO THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. AGAIN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND NOTHING. MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STARTED TO JUMP OR FAIL TO WORK ALTOGETHER. AND MOST RECENTLY THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND AND MY CAR WAS RUNNING AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO DIE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN $500.00 WORTH OF TEST TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR AT 60,000 MILES WAS FIRING INCORRECTLY IN THE 1ST CYLINDER. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $4,000.00. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER USED IN JUNE OF 2007 WITH 34,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE LICENSE PLATE FIXED 3 TIMES FOR THE GLUE MELTING AND RUNNING DOWN THE TAILGATE. THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN RAN FOR EXTENDED TRIPS DOESN'T BLOW LIKE IT SHOULD, THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT TWICE. THE WHOLE LIGHT FLICKERING THING IS ANNOYING AND PROBABLY COULD BE AVOIDED WITH A STRONGER ALTERNATOR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR SECONDARY AIR INJECTION MALFUNCTION CONVENIENTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, ITS ALL DUE TO A CRAPPY CHECK VALVE THAT IS MADE WITH A METAL THAT CORRODES EASILY CAUSING IT TO STICK. I UNDERSTAND THAT PROBLEMS HAPPEN BUT THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO GO BROKE FIXING THEIR MISTAKES. OR JUST DO SOME QUALITY CONTROL ON VEHICLES BEFORE THEY ARE MASSED PRODUCED. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HEADLIGHTS FLASHING AFTER DARK. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH AROUND DUSK OR AFTER DARK AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM. SHE STATES THAT PEOPLE IN TRAFFIC BELIEVE SHE IS DOING THIS ON PURPOSE AND SHE IS NOT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON AUTOMATIC AND THEN THEY STARTED TO GO DIM. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE FADING IN AND OUT AS WELL. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 2006. THERE WAS ALOT OF HISSING FROM THE SPEAKERS, WHICH THEY REPLACED BUT IT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I ALREADY FIXED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND NOW I NOTICE THE LIGHTS GO DIM AND BRIGHT AND IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. IT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. EVERYTIME I BRING IT IN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN SO NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AND IT'S COLD IN WISCONSIN SO IF IT EVER DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND THE LIGHTS WILL DIM AND THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT GM HAS NO ANSWER FOR WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE PEOPLE THAT WILL PULL OVER FOR ME BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE SUV 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. *TR
