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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK AND WINDOW FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

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
