2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER-GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ACCURATELY. STAYS AROUND 1/4 TANK WHILE DRIVING. LOW LEVEL INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED AND THEN MOVES BACK UP TO 1/4 TANK EVEN THOUGH THE TANK MAY BE FULL. TWO WEEKS AFTER NOTICING THE GAS GAUGE I ALSO NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT READING ACCURATELY. NOTICED THIS WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. WHILE CAR WAS STOPPED SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 20 MPH. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS MY FIRST CHEVY AND IM SURE IT WILL BE MY LAST. IF ITS RELEVANT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 69,000. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT GRADUALLY STOPPED REGISTERING THE ACTUAL GAS. AFTER FILLING THE GAS, IT REGISTER EMPTY. AS I DROVE, THE GAS WOULD REGISTER AS FULL. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED MOVING AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A PERIOD OF 6MOS. I STARTED FILLING THE GAS MORE OFTEN. AFTER FILLING THE GAS, 2 DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING A NEAR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING. CLEARLY, I WASN'T OUT OF GAS. I HAD JUST FILL THE GAS AND BECAME ACCUSTOMED TO HOW FAR I COULD DRIVE BEFORE I NEEDED TO REFILL. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS OBVIOUS A DEFECT IN THE GAS GAUGE. I WASN'T SURE UNTIL NOW AFTER VISITING THIS SITE THAT I AM NOT ALONE. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I'M SURE IF IT IS REGISTERING THE MILEAGE I DRIVE. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I AM DRIVING IS SURELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I VISITED MY MECHANIC IS WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $500 TO REPAIR. SURELY IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A DEATH TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WHERE NOT WORKING. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE WIRING FOR THE HEADLIGHT AS IT HAD MELTED. THE FUEL SENSOR WAS GOING TO COST 700. SO I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF STRESS AND WORRY FOR ME AS I MAY RUN OUT OF FUEL WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. SINCE THE SENSOR DOES NOT WORK I AM LEERING OF THE FUEL USED OPTION AS WELL. THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. *TR

JUST RECENTLY WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK IT WOULD SHOW THE FUEL GAUGE AS EMPTY AND MY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ABOUT 50 TO 75 MILES LATER IT WOULD LEVEL OUT TO BE CORRECT, BUT I WOULD ALSO RESET MY MILES JUST TO MAKE SURE. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. MY GAS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND I CANNOT GET ACCURATE MILEAGE EITHER. AFTER RESETTING MY MILEAGE AND DRIVING I BELIEVED TO HAVE 75 MILES LEFT ON MY TANK WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. IT DID NOT SEEM TO BE SO MUCH OF A HASSLE UNTIL I BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN, BECAUSE OUT OF GAS. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO LEARN IT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS PART YET. I AM A MOTHER OF 4 CHILDREN AND FOR ME TO BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN IS A SCARY AND UNEASY THOUGHT. I RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO KEEP MYSELF AND FAMILY SAFE AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS MAJOR THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE THEMSELVES, BUT I BELIEVE SINCE THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM ALL OVER THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING FIRST FOLLOWED BUY THE SPEEDOMETER AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON. I COMPLAINED TO GM WAS TOLD THIS IS NATURAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE 110,000 MILES ON IT BUT STARTED SOON AFTER EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 65,000 MILES. I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THESE DEFECTS DON'T HAVE $550-$600 FOR EACH ITEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. *TR
