2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C. SPEED 4 AND 5 BOTH QUIT AND NOW THE WHOLE THING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEALER I TAKE IT TO TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS BURNT OUT AND THE HARNESS (WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $200). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR MODEL. *TR

WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WE HAD TO TURN IT AROUND AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALL THEY DID WAS RESET IT. IT CAME BACK ON SOME TIME LATER, WE TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP THEY GOT IT WORKED IN AT THE NEAREST CHEVY SHOP, THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND WE WERE TOLD TO BUY A GASCAP FOR IT. WE BOUGHT THE GAS CAP, LIGHT STAYED OFF UNTIL NOW. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER TO THE LOCAL SHOP THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, BUT SINCE THE LIGHT IS ON IT IS A GAS GUZZLER WITH LIGHT ON GETTING 6 MILES TO THE GALLON. WITH GAS AT 2.59 A GALLON THAT'S NOT CHEAP. CHEVROLET DEALER IN TOWN SAYS ITS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS CLEANING, AND IT NEEDS A NEW BATTERY. THEY SAY THE THROTTLE BODY IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE NEW MODELS, BECAUSE THE GAS IS NOT FIT FOR THE NEWER MODEL VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY WATER PUMP REPLACED TWICE IN THAT LAST 1.5 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE NEXT TIME ABOUT 10 MONTH THE DEALERSHIP CLAIM IT DIDN'T WORK AGAIN. JUST TODAY 12/12 I WENT TO DRIVE TO WORK AFTER LETTING MY CAR WARM UP FOR 5 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN THE HEAT ON AND NOTHING CAME OUT NOW I HAVE TO CALL AND SEE IF ANYONE CAN LOOK MY AUTO. WORSE BRAND NEW AUTO THAT I HAVE HAD. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER THE SAME YEAR WITH 19+K MILES. I STARTED HAVING IT STALL ON ME AROUND 30K MILES. I TOOK IT TO HAYWARD, CA CHEVY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING. I TOOK IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE LIGHT ONLY BUT, THAT'S THE LIGHT THAT WOULD FLASH WHEN IT STALLS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME SITUATION. AT THE TIME, I HAD 2 BOYS.....8YRS AND 6YRS AND THIS STARTED TOO BECOME UNRELIABLE BECAUSE I WAS PUTTING THEM AT RISK AND NOT ONLY THAT, I WOULD STALL AND THEN TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO START AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT MAYBE IT STALLS BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS NOT WARM BUT I KNOW THAT IT CAN'T BE IT BECAUSE A FEW TIMES I WAS ON LONG ROAD TRIPS AND THE ENGINE WOULD STALL ON AND OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 06 AND IT'S A HORRIBLE RISK BECAUSE IT'S STALLS WHILE DRIVING. MY KIDS AND I CAN GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE TO REPOST THIS TOO. I BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR 5/07 BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT RELIABLE BUT USE IT WHEN I HAVE TO AND UP TO THIS DAY, IT STILL STALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL INACCURATELY DISPLAYS THE VEHICLES FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33000. UPDATED 12/7/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE TANK WAS FILLED WITH THE GAS, THERE WAS STILL A RINGING SOUND AS IF THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DROP EVEN WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THE WATER PUMP AND FAN CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 12/08/09

HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY 'FLASH' FOR A SECOND DURING FIRST 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. HAVE REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND IDLER PULLEY. GM SUGGESTS LETTING VEHICLE IDLE 1+ MINUTE AFTER START BEFORE ENGAGING GEAR; THIS SOMETIMES WORKS. DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING TO OTHER MOTORISTS, AS IT APPEARS TO THEM LIKE MY VEHICLE IS FLASHING ITS HIGHBEAMS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR OVER 4 YEARS TO ONSTAR AND GM THAT I HAD ISSUES WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING UPON STOPPING AT GOING. I HAVE CALLED ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY SUV. I HAVE ALSO SAW A ENGINE LIGHT FLASH, CALLED ONSTAR AND NOTHING WAS SHOWING WRONG. TODAY, MY VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS INFORMED BY ONSTART THAT THE GENERATOR/ALTERNATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 58K MILES. *TR
