2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I JUST GOT MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER 2 WEEK AGO AND THE CAR LOT FAIL TO INFORM US THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BROKEN,, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WITCH WAS OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS, I HAD MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WITH ME AND WE HAD TO WALK IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER TO GET GAS,, AND MY SON GOT A SUN BURN ON HIS FACE AND ARMS, I BELIEVE THAT IF MY GAS GAUGE WAS WORKING THEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN STRANDED ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY SON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS FUEL GAUGE DID NOT DISPLAY THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, THE GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN EMPTY READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED TRACKING THE FUEL AMOUNT, IT HAS CAUSED ME TO NOT KNOW THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALSO DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOP IS INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

GAS GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS DEFECTIVE. IT STOPPED WORKING AT 55000 MILES AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $600 TO REPLACE. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER TO A LOT OF OWNERS. I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE AND HAVE RAN OUT ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER 4 MILES FROM NEAREST TOWN WITH LITTLE CELL PHONE COVERAGE. ONLY WAY I CAN GUESTIMATE WHEN TO PUT FUEL IN IS BY GOING BY THE TRIP ODOMETER. I COMMUTE OVER 400 MILES WEEKLY ON THE INTERSTATE BUT CAN'T AFFORD A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR SOMETHING I FEEL SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THAT HAS A DASHBOARD CLUSTER FAILURE. MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGES DO NOT WORK. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING AND HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT IN MY TANK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR OVER A MONTH. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM ANGRY OWNERS DESCRIBING SPEEDING TICKETS, RUNNING OUT OF GAS, ODOMETER FAILING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIMMING AND WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING. GM IS FAILING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS DEFECT AND DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING $550 TO $650 FOR REPAIRS. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR UNIT. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MR. TURNER, FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE AT GENERAL MOTORS, DETROIT MICHIGAN, CONCERNING THE MANY LETTERS I HAVE SENT TO GENERAL MOTORS. 'IN A NUTSHELL' HE SAID 'GM HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENSOR UNIT AND BASICALLY I WAS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL CONCERNING THE UNIT' I REFERRED, HIM TO THIS PARTICULAR WEB SITE AND HIS COMMENT WAS 'IF COMPLAINTS WAS NOT COMING FROM THE CUSTOMERS OR DEALER, THE COMMENTS WAS BASIC USELESS' HE SUGGESTED, THAT I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AT THAT POINT THEY WOULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND 'MAYBE' THEY 'MIGHT DO SOMETHING' IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE BOMBARD THE PRESIDENT / CEO OF GENERAL MOTORS WITH COMPLAINT LETTERS CONCERNING THE FUEL SENSOR OR CONTACT MR. TURNER AT THE NUMBER HE GAVE ME [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THE FUEL GAUGE KEEPS SHOWING EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I ALMOST GOT INTO AND ACCIDENT ON THE BELTWAY TODAY BECAUSE MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT KILLING ANYONE OR MYSELF. SOME FRIENDS FROM WORK BROUGHT ME SOME GAS WHICH GOT ME HOME AS SOON AS I WAS A BLOCK AWAY FROM MY HOUSE THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD TO REFUEL JUST TO GET TO THE COMPLEX WHERE I LIVE. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I JUST SHUT DOWN AND I HAVE A SPEEDER BEHIND ME. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS VOICING THEIR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT LIKE THE TOYOTA DEALERS. IS THEIR ANYWAY THAT CHEVY CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DEFECTS. CONCERNED PARENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATE SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS HALF A TANK OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE YET THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND BECAUSE SHE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, SHE WOULD FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITHIN EVERY 200 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC OR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 12/02/10 *BF UPDATED 12/07/10
