2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

FIRST WAS THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT CAUGHT FIRE AND BLEW FUSES, THEN I GET POWER SURGES THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RANDOMLY AT THE WORST TIMES AND/OR WILL ALSO STALL OUT, WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS OR END IN A FATAL ACCIDENT, IT DROPS IN RPMS AND LIGHTS DIM THEN IT ACCELERATES... AND THE LAST THING IS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES DRAMATICALLY AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL HOW MUCH FUEL YOU REALLY HAVE... DRIVE 10 MILES AT QUARTER OF A TANK AND IT EITHER STAYS CLOSE TO THE SAME SPOT OR DROPS AND THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR LOW FUEL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GASOLINE GAUGE AND THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE HOW FAST SHE WAS TRAVELING OR WHETHER OR NOT SHE HAD A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ALSO SHUT OFF ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WHICH CAUSED HER TO CHANGE THE BULBS FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

I BOUGHT A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, IT ONLY HAD 49,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT IS NOT WORKING, IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM TWICE AND IT JUST NEEDS TEARING UP. I FEEL THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE A LOT OF DEATHS BECAUSE A PERSON CAN NOT TELL IF YOUR SLOWING DOWN AND CAUSE A WRECK. I FEEL LIKE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MINE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT IS TORE UP AROUND MY SMALL TOWN OF 17,000 PEOPLE. I HAVE NOTICED AT LEAST 5 MORE JUST IN THIS TOWN THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY EITHER. *TR

IN 2006 WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS NORMAL. NOW WHEN DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WILL CUTOFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AND WILL THEN CUT BACK ON. IT CAN BE AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 MINUTES OR 30 MINUTES. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE "REGULAR" HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT. FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND OIL PRESSURE GAGE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I CAN BE STOPPED AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW I AM GOING X MPH. IT VARIES ON THE AMOUNT OF MILES THE SPEEDOMETER IS OFF. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALWAYS SITS BELOW THE LOW LINE. THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT CORRECT BUT DOES MOVE. THIS VEHICLE IS A PEACE OF JUNK.

I WAS AT THE GAS STATION FILLING MY TANK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND THEN THE LOW FUEL WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON IN THE MESSAGE CENTER ALONG WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR BY THE FUEL GAUGE. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AND THE WARNING MESSAGE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT STAYED ON. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, IT EVENTUALLY GOES OFF, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER MORE THAN A 1/4 OF A TANK EVEN WHEN FILLED UP AND THE WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON ALONG WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR AS SOON AS I START THE TRUCK AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND WHEN THE TRUCK IS IDLING, THE LOW FUEL MESSAGE AND LIGHT COME ON. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK IS THAT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM DIMS WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I BOUGHT THIS ISSUE UP AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK, BUT DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

NO CRASH OR INJURY, BUT AM REALLY AFRAID OF SOMETHING HAPPENING WITH MY SON IN THE SUV. MY HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND WORRIED THAT ONE DAY THEY ARE GOING TO SHUT OFF AND NOT COME BACK ON. MY GAS GAUGE WAS THE NEXT THING THAT STOPPED WORKING AND NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING NOW. JUST LIKE OTHERS I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GETTING A QUALITY VEHICLE, AT LEAST TOYOTA CORRECTS THEIR MISTAKES!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS HAD OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE WIRES. THE CONNECTORS WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,684.
