2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR. WHEN I FILL IT SOMETIMES IT SAYS THERE IS GAS OTHER TIMES IT BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS BEFORE & THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE STREET WHEN IT OCCURRED. MYSELF OR ANYONE COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENS. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON PLACE FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

I REACHED 55,000 MILES ON MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAIZER. NOW, MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT STICKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT EVEN MOVE OFF THE 0MPH. BETTER YET, MY HEAD LIGHTS ARE RANDOMLY TURNING OFF. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONE A DAY. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHEVY CAN TELL ME THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT LIVE IN A PLACE THAT HAST DAY LIGHT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE DURING THE NIGHT HOURS. IF MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED, I WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I'M SURE I WILL EVENTUALLYG ET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, IT'S JUST I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. WHAT DO I EXPLAIN TO THE OFFICER, "SORRY MY LIGHTS ARE OUT AND NO, I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING?" THIS IS A JOKE! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET , YET CHEVY WILL NOT ADMIT TO THIS "CLUSTER" ISSUE BEING RELATED TO SAFETY? SO WHEN I GET TICKETS FROM THE POLICE, FAIL MY MASSACHUSETTS STATE INSPECTION AND MAYBE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, DO I FORWARD ALL BILLS TO CHEVY? AND IF A LIFE IS LOST, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RELACE THAT? WHY CAN'T THEY JUST RECALL THIS ISSUE BEFORE THIS HAPPENS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED YET? *TR

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TO FLORIDA FROM OHIO I FELT A BUDGE AND THEN HEARD THE VEHICLE SOUND LIKE IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND THE RPMS WERE HIGH. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HEADED BACK HOME DOING 40 MPH SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT PAST 2ND GEAR. ALSO THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS HARSHLY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE THIS SAME SUBJECT. I AM ASSUMING THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO REPORT SUCH INCIDENTS. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAS A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER. IT RANDOMLY GOES UP TO VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES NO SPEED AT ALL, MEANING IT HANGS BETWEEN 120 AND 0. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE AT TIMES I AM GUESSING MY SPEED AND MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS IN THE CAR WITH ME. CHEVROLET/GMC SHOULD HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THIS A LONG TIME AGO. THEY KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ITS CONSUMERS, SO HOW CAN THEY NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT IS THEIR FAULT? I DON'T THINK THE BUYERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $500 OR MORE OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE'S VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

I'VE SEEN THE OTHER LISTINGS ALSO DESCRIBING THIS COMPLAINT, SAME SYMPTOMS. WITHOUT NOTICE, SPEEDOMETER WILL CEASE TO WORK CORRECTLY, SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR ACTUAL TRAVELING SPEED IT. THIS IS AN IMMENSE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SHARED MY CONCERNS WITH MY LAWYER AND IF A RECALL IS NOT ISSUED TO ALL THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WILL COSTS GM MUCH MORE MONEY THAN A RECALL. IN JUST ONE GOOGLE SEARCH MANY COMPLAINTS WERE FOUND. EXAMPLE: [XXX] , AL, USA 2010FEB 12 TRAILBLAZER 3.2L V6 IT'S VERY HARD TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. I AM AFRAID THAT I COULD GET A SPEEDING TICKET AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE. MY SPEED SHOWS I AM DOING 120 MPH WHEN I START MY CAR. THIS IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT. I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE OWNED BLAZERS SINCE 1984. I CAN'T BELIEVE CHEVY WONT BACK UP THE CONSUMER. IT WILL BE THE LAST CHEVY I EVER OWN.[XXX]WEST MONROE, NY, USA 2009DEC 15 TRAILBLAZER LS V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 61,000 MILES I WAS A CHEVY MAN INTIL I BOUGHT A 2005 TRAILBLAZER, NOW CHEVY CAN KISS MY [XXX]. HOW IN THE [XXX] DOES YOUR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GO OUT AT 60,000 MILES AND ITS NOT ON RECALL AND TO TOP IT OFF ALL OF THE OTHER CHEVY'S SUV AND SOME OF THEIR TRUCKS ARE ON RECALL FOR THE VERY SAME THING? TELL ME PLEASE TELL ME THAT THAT IS NOT A BUNCH OF BULL. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN. ITS SAID THAT MY 96 DODGE DAKOTA RUNS BETTER THAN MY 2005 CHEVY. GO DODGE YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THEM. SO NOW I'M A DODGE MAN, GOOD JOB CHEVY NORMANM FORT LEONARD WOOD, MO, USA 2010FEB 01 TRAILBLAZER SE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 89,000 MILES HAS ANYONE HEARD WHERE CHEVY STANDS ON THE ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS 450.00 TO FIX CHEVY SHOULD FIX [XXX] MI, USA 2010JAN 27 YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SET FORTH A CONSEQUENCE OF RECALL TO GM TO FIX ALL THESE BOGUS SPEEDOMETERS.

TRAILBLAZER WAS MAKING ROARING NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTING UP AND TOOK ABOUT 2 MINUTES FOR IT TO RUN NORMAL, VOLTAGE METER FLUCTUATES AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS DIMMING INTERMITTENTLY DURING THIS TIME. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. WHEN FIRST TAKING OFF AFTER BEING STOPPED, ENGINE ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY. IT JUMPS, AND I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES. IT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT (SINCE JAN '09). THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IF THE RADIO IS LEFT ON, IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS. JUST HAD CLUTCH FAN AND WATER PUMP REPLACED AND THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. AFTER HAVING THAT DONE, IT STILL MAKES A ROARING NOISE FOR THE FIRST FIVE TO TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING. GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC ON IT TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE SUV IS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS, 4WD, 6 CYLINDER MOTOR AND HAS ABOUT 88,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
