2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT 4-DR

My husband was entering the highway and upon acceleration from roughly 35mph to roughly around 50mph (while taking the entrance slight right) all of the air bags deployed

My lights come on and turns off at night sometimes and now My right low beams stopped working. I noticed when I was getting in my car at night.

THE GAUGES DON'T WORK PROPERLY AND WHEN THE GAUGES ARE TAPPED THE TRAILBLAZER STALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (BOUGHT NEW) WITH APPROXIMATELY 79,000 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING I AM LOW ON FUEL HOWEVER MY GAS TANK IS FULL. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM AFTER FILLING MY TANK (NO LIGHT ON AT THE TIME). AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS GAUGE BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH FROM QUARTER TANK TO HALF TANK AND NOW THE LIGHT STAYS ON WITH GAUGE SHOWING EMPTY. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE OR RECOMMEND ANY POSSIBLE ACTION TO TAKE.

MOST RECENT, I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT. NOTHING ELSE, JUST THE MAIN HEAD LIGHTS. ALL.OTJER LIGHTS STAY ON. HIGH BEAMS WORK, PARKING LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS IS NOT SAFE!!!

LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF SETTING STILL

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY CONSTANTLY, EVEN WHERE THERE IS HALF A TANK. ONLY 5-10% OF THE TIME IT SHOWS HOW MUCH FUEL THERE REALLY IS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING AND WHILE STOPPED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT MY DIM LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REMAINDER OF THE WAY WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS BLINDING CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND IN COMING. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

CHECKING FOR RECALLED AIRBAG

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT NO TURNS IN MY 05 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER GOING ABOUT 60MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOW CLICK SOUND AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE OR KEEP MY CURRENT SPEED IT WAS BEYOND UNSAFE SO I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY ENGINE RUNNING STILL I PUT IT IN EVERY GEAR TO SEE IF IT WOULD MOVE IT DID NOT I TRIED R,D,3,2&1 GEARS AND THE TRUCK ONLY REV'D UP AND DID NOT MOVE .IT WAS NO SIGNS OF THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT OR GOING BAD IT STILL SHIFTED SMOOTH IT JUST WENT OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS I FEEL LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE CHEAPLY MADE .

THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY EVEN AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED. OTHER 2005 TRAILBLAZER MODELS HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE GAS GAUGE AND SENSOR BUT MY MODEL DID NOT. IT ALSO CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN THE GAS TANK. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES ( WHEN YOUR MOVING, AND STATIONARY). NOT ACCURATELY KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS THE VEHICLE CAN CAUSE YOU TO STALL OUT WHILE ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 MPH.

MY GAS GAUGE IS SITTING ON BOTTOM INSTEAD OF TOP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IN MY CAR. AN I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AN ONE HAS A HEART CONDITION. AN I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. AN ALSO MY HEAD LIGHTS GO OFF AN ON ALL THE TIME DAY OR NIGHT. *TR

STOP IT STARTS JERKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHS HEAD WENT BAD AT 109 THOSAND MILES

NO POWER STEERING!!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WHAT AROUND CRAVE . THE SIDE AIRBAGS WHAT OFF. I DO NOT HIT ANY THING OR RUN OVER ANY THING

THE VEHICLE HAS AN IDLE ISSUE AND CUTS OFF ONCE YOU TURN THE AC ON. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY OVER TIME AND I READ I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF FREQUENTLY. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE ACTIVATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOM GILL CHEVROLET (7830 COMMERCE DR, FLORENCE, KY 41042, (859) 371-7566). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,800. *TT CONSUMER STATED HE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2006 OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM, HIS WAS ON 2005.*JB

I HAVE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS,BUT I DONT HAVE MY REGULAR HEADLIGHTS,SOMTIMES THEY COME ON THEN THEY GO OUT,IVE CHANGED THE MODULE UNDER THE HOOD & IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING,IT HAPPENS WHEN IM GOING DOWN THE ROAD

LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. ON 4 14 2019 WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON 101 FREEWAY IN THOUSAND OAKS CALIFORNIA, A PICKUP TRUCK VEERED INTO MY LANE. WHEN I MOVED OVER TO AVOID THE PICKUP BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS WENT OFF WITH A BANG FILLING CAR WITH POWDERY CLOUD. MY LEFT EAR POPPED FROM THE LOUD BANG BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF ON THE SHOULDER. CALLED 911 AND CA HIGHWAY PATROL CAME OUT AND DID A REPORT. BOTH OFFICERS HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE CAR AND THE CHP TOOK MULTIPLE PICTURES OF THE EXTERIOR. MILAGE ON THE CAR AT TIME OF ACCIDENT WAS 117,873 . CHP CUTAWAY THE AIRBAGS AND MY FATHER CAME OUT AND DROVE IT HOME AND THEN TO AUTO SHOP TO EVALUATE. SEAT BELT ALSO STOPPED WORKING NOW THAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. REALLY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE.

THE SPEEDOMETER ISN'T WORKING. I'VE BEEN HEARING HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS. EVERY NOW AND THEN IT WILL JUMP TO A RANDOM SPOT WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND STAY THERE. BUT IT NEVER MOVES WHILE DRIVING

SPEEDOMETER FIRST SHOWED SPEED OF 60 WHEN SITTING STILL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTING IT 3 TIMES AND THE SPEEDOMETER RESET. BUT A FEW DAYS LATER IT ONCE AGAIN STUCK AND I HAD JUST STARTED IT. THIS TIME AT 48 AT ALL TIMES WHETHER THE ENGINE IS ON OR OFF, IDLING OF TRAVELING. IT CONTINUES TO BE STUCK AT 48 AT ALL TIMES, NEVER DECREASING OR INCREASING.

WHILE DRIVING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK. SOMETIMES LOW BEAMS WILL COME BACK ON DURING SAME TRIP. REPLACED HDM MODULE PER ISSUES WITH 2006 BUT HEADLIGHTS STILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING.

IN MOTION OR PARKED MY SPEED AND MY TAC JUST STOP AT RANDOM NUMBERS. I HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF IF MY SPEED IS STUCK. EVERYTIME I DO THIS MY SPEED DROPS 5 MPH SO IF I'M STUCK AT 20 I HAVE TO DO THIS 4 TIMES JUST TO GET BACK TO 0 MPH I HAVE CALLED CHEVY . THEY TOLD ME IT WILL COST ME OVER $800 TO FIX THIS. KINDA STRANGE THE RECALL DOAENT EFFECT ONLY THE TRAILBLAZERS DON'T YOU THINK. I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FEIOD FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW AND I KNOW ALOT OF CHEVY HAVE HAD THIS RECALL SO IT'S TIME FOR YOU GUYS ACT.

VEHICLE PURCHASED 2008. IT HAD 35,412 MI. IN 2011 THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE A ROUGH IDLE AND STALL IN TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES AS MANY AS 3 TIMES ON A SIX MILE ROUND TRIP. ALWAYS WOULD STALL DRIVING AROUND TOWN. I HAD REPLACED CAM VRR TEMP SENSOR FUEL THROTTLE. ALL COILS PLUGS WATER PUMP BATTERY MOTOR SUPPORTS BELT WINDSHIELD WASHER BOTTLE AND MOTORS FLUSH FUEL LINES. WHEEL HUBS AND BEARING ROUNDS CRANKSHAFT AND POWER STEERING PULLEY POWER STEERING PUMP OIL CHANGES 2500 TO 3000 MILES SYNTHETIC OIL. ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AND FLUSH REAR DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE. SEVERAL DIAGNOSTICS AT CHEVROLET. LEFT THERE THEY DROVE IT CUT OFF ONCE. FINALLY, I KEPT WATCHING GAUGES OIL PRESSURE DROPPED 44 TO ZERO. CAR CUT OFF RECTANGLES IT PULLED OVER WAIT 30 MINS. NO OIL ON DIP STICK. CALLED FIRESTONE TOOK IT THERE. OIL SENDING UNIT DEFECTIVE. CHANGED ALL OIL. THEY FOUND IT. THIS WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE OVER SEVERAL YEARS FOR ME. AFRAID GET RUN OVER BY TRUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT CUT OFF ONE TIME. I REPORTED TO CHEVROLET. PUT IN BANK THERE. PLEASE CHECK OIL SENDING UNIT. SEEN NUMEROUS TRAILBLAZERS WITH THIS ISSUE. ON THE WEB.

I AM EXPERIENCING ALL ISSUES IDENTIFIED WITH RECALL DUE TO DOOR SWITCH SENSOR BEING DEFECTIVE. INTERMITTENT WORKING OF DOOR LOCKS NOT LOCKING OR LOCKING AND WON'T UNLOCK . WINDOWS WON'T WORK SOMETIMES, AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL . LIGHTS WON'T SHUT OFF IN INTERIOR, OR WON'T GO ON . DELAY FEATURE WHERE RADIO , AND OTHER FEATURES STAY ON AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF , AND STILL IN VEHICLE WON'T WORK , AND SOMETIMES DO WORK . THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS EITHER MOVING, OR NOT MOVING IN PARK . THEY HAPPEN BOTH CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY AS WELL. ALL OF THESE CRAZY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BEGAN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND WHEN IN THE VEHICLE AND I AM IN PARK, AND SHUT OFF IGNITION, AND THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, THE KEY FOB WON'T WORK TO UNLOCK DOORS EITHER, AND I AM TRAPPED INSIDE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HEAR ME YELLING FOR HELP, AND CAN HAND THEM MY KEYS OUT OF SUNROOF IN ORDER TO PUT IT INTO LOCK ON THE DOOR AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS FIXED BECAUSE NOBODY NEAR MY RESIDENCE TO EITHER LET ME OUT OF VEHICLE, OR TO CALL . CLOSEST PERSON I CAN CALL IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY . I AM ON DISABILITY OF 720.00 A MONTH AND CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR .

GAUGES (FUEL, BATTERY AND OIL) QUIT WORKING. SO NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

RPM, GAS, AND VOLTAGE METER ARE NOT READING PROPERLY AT ALL. EVERYWHERE U GO EVERYTIME U START THE TRUCK UP IT DOES NOT READ PROPERLY.

THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE, DOES NOT LET ME KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING OR HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T WORK... WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, CONSIDERING I HAVE 4 KIDS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE?? AND IT ALSO TELLS ME THAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS LOW, EVEN AFTER I FILL MY TANK. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE????

BOTH HEADLAMPS WENT OUT SAME NIGHT. HIGH BEAMS WORK. CHECKED FUSES ALL ARE FINE. VERY DANGEROUS AS HIGH BEAMS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE USED IN THIS FASHION. I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON SAME MODEL OTHER YEARS.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON AT NIGHT.

WHEN LEAVING WORK AT NIGHT ON 8/21/18, STARTED THE CAR AND THE LOW BEAMS CAME ON, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT OFF. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HAD TO DRIVE HOME USING THE FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS. HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A WEEK. DOESN'T SEEM SAFE. SEE THAT LOTS OF TRAILBLAZERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE RECALL BEGINS WITH THE 2006 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE.

LEAVING FROM WORK AT NIGHT AND WHEN CAR INITIALLY WAS TURNED ON, THE LOW BEAMS ILLUMINATED, BUT THEN WENT OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME USING FOG LAMPS AND HIGH BEAMS ONLY. THEY NEVER DID COME ON IN A 25 MINUTE DRIVE. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE 2006 ARE IN A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT NOT THE 2005. VERY UNSAFE! MY KIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!

DRIVING IN CITY SPEEDOMOTER QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. DONT KNOW WHAT SPEED IS WHILE DRIVING CAR HAS 33000 MILES, HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 3 YEARS AS IT WAS MY FATHERS AND HE NO LONGER DRIVES AS HE IS 97 YEARS OLD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH AND SHUT DOWN AT A SLIGHT ELEVATION. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE PICKED UP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 173,000.

OUR VEHICLE DIED AT A TURN SIGNAL LIGHT IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. NO WARNING FROM THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS RUNNING NORMAL. IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT NO START. POLICE FORCE A TOW OUT OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION RIGHT AWAY. IT STARTS UP AT THE MECHANICS. THEY TESTED FUEL FILTER AND OTHER STUFF. WE GET ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AND GET 6 MILES OUT AND NO WARNING WE DIE AND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER ON IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. SIT FOR 2 HOURS AND IT FIRES UP. SO WE FOUND SHADE AND WAITED FOR COOL DOWN. 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND IT TOOK US 9 HOURS TO GET HOME. WE DROVE IT TO THE STORE AND WHEN WE WERE DONE SHOPPING IT FIRED UP. WENT AROUND THE CORNER TO OTHER STORE AND SHOPPED 2 HOURS AND CAME OUT AND IT WOULD TURN AND NO START. TRIED STARTING EVERY 30 MINUTES TO HOUR FROM 9:30PM TO 1:40AM AND THEN IT FIRED RIGHT UP THEN DROVE 30 MINUTES TO HOME. AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING QUITE A FEW WITH SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WE FOUND THAT IT IS THE PWR/TRN RELAY PLUG IN AREA IN THE FUSE RELAY CENTER. WHEN WE BROKE THE PLASTIC OFF THE RELAY AND WRAPPED A RUBBER BAND AROUND IT SO IT'S CONSTANT CONTACT AND PLUG IT IN, IT WILL FIRE UP EVERY TIME. I CAN DRIVE IT ALL DAY LIKE THAT WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY FROM RUNNING TO ACCESSORY MODE THEN REMOVE THE RUBBER BAND AND THEN POWER OFF THE CAR. DON'T WANT TO FRY COM. THE RELAYS ARE GOOD AND PROBLEM IS THE FUSE RELAY CENTER. CHEVROLET SAID THEMSELVES THAT THIS MODEL IS NOTORIOUS FOR FUSE RELAY CENTER PROBLEMS AND USUALLY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT. THERE ARE TWO PICTURES ATTACHED FROM ONE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME VEHICLE SAME PROBLEM AND IN ORDER TO MAKE HIS FUSE RELAY CENTER WORK PROPERLY HE HAD TO WIRE/REROUTE HIS PWR/TRN RELAY AS SEEN IN THE PICTURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET AND THE TRAILBLAZER.

I HAVE A 2005 TB LS, AND IT'S A POS. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. MY BRAKES PULSATE, GO TO THE FLOOR, GET STIFF AS A BOARD, BASICALLY THEY DON'T WORK. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES QUICKLY IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID A CRASH. I FILLED THE GAS TANK TO FULL, HUGE MISTAKE. THE MOMENT I DID THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS FLASHED AND SPORADIC IDLING. IT HAS A LOUD WHINE UNDER THE HOOD, FRONT TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD FLASHER RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING. CAR WILL DIE IF I RUN THE A/C FOR MORE THEN 15 MINS. IT WILL PULL TO EITHER SIDE WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE, TUNE UP, ETC. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, THAT SO MANY HAVE THE SAME [XXX] ISSUES AND YET CHEVY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE/TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OBVIOUS FLAWS AND LACK OF MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE..I JUST WANT OUT OF THIS [XXX] LEASE AND A REPLACEMENT CAR!!! PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AFTER A WHILE OF USE AS IF THE OVER HEAT AND GO OFF ONCE THEY COOL OFF THEY COME BACK ON BUT THEY GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS OF USE. ONLY THE BRIGHTS WILL WORK AT THIS TIME. SO NOT ONLY IS IT A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME THAT MY LIGHTS JUST GO OFF OUT OF NOWHERE THEN I HAVE TO TURN MY BRIGHTS ON WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER PEOPLE AND AGAINST THE WALL YOU HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE THE RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE THEY GO OFF ON BACK ROADS THEY GO OFF ON THE HIGHWAY THEY GO OFF IN THE CITY THEY GO OFF IN THE COUNTRY THEY GO OFF ANYWHERE THAT I'M DRIVING ANYTIME THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THAT WILL GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF USE WHETHER THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR IT IS STATIONARY. THIS IMHAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR MANY YEARS BUT I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT IT FOR MYSELF AND I FEEL IT'S AN ISSUE THAT YOU ALL SHOULD RESOLVE I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE

THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I CAN'T SEEM TO TURN THEM BACK ON, I HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I TUN THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENS, I'VE HAD THE FUSSED AND HEADLIGHTS CHANGED AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A SOLUTION. THE SEEM TO JUST GO ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. THIS IF A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I HAVE FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY CHEVY OWNER THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND I'S SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS UNSAFE DEFECT!

I HAVE 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 4WD EXT LS 4.2 LITER. I NOTICED OVER PAST 3 YEARS THAT I BE AT DRIVE THROUGH FOR BURGERS AND ETC. THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF. I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME. IT HAS GOTTEN CRITICALLY WORSE. IT WOULD CUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, DRIVE THROUGHS AND ETC. DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE RE THE LUSTER AND OVER HEAD DOME LIGHT FLICKER. HEAD LIGHTS VERY DIM ON DRIVING ALSO I HAVE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE THE FUEL THROTTLE AND SENSOR, A CRANK SENSOR A CAM SENSOR, A TEMP SENSOR 4 POWER STEERING PUMPS NEW THE POWER STEERING RACK AND ASSEMBLY WHEEL HUBS AND BEARINGS, ALL NEW COILS SPARK PLUGS, BELT IDLE PULLEY POWER STEERING PULLEY CHANGE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AIR FILTER CHANGE BATTERY, UPDATED SOFT WARE, FLUSH FUEL SYSTEM, SERVICE THE AIR CONDITION REPLACED REAR SHOCKS, GM RELACED PULLEY ON ENGINE 2010 REPLACED THE PVC HOSE FLUSH RADIATOR AND BRAKE SYSTEM, ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT DONE EVERY 5000 MILES, REPLACED HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM BULBS AND LEFT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND LENS, I HAD IT TO CHEVROLET PRIVATE MECHANIC GARAGE AND NOTHING IS READING WRONG ALSO NOTICE THE ECM NOT STORING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAY A MICROSECOND ON. THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS CAN STAL OR QUIT AND BE RUN OVER ON HIGHWAY. I NOTICED ON THE WEB ON CARS COMPLAINT.COM AMANY PEOPLE HAVE CMPLAINTED THIS ISSUE.CHEVROLET HAD INVESTIGATED THS ISSUE AAAAAND NO RESOLVE. I FELT THE VEHIHICLE MAY HAVE A SHORT R A BAD ALTERNATOR OR STARTER. .VEHIVLE WAS SITTING AT INTERSECTION I NOTICED IT TRIES TO STALL ON DRIVING ALSO. ALL RECORDS ARE WITH CAR.

TAKATA RECALL ALL THE GAUGES ON MY TRAILBLAZER HAVE STOPPED WORKING EXCEPT THE GAS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING 2 WEEKS AGO ON THE HIGHWAY MY GAUGES JUST QUIT WORKING AND THE NEEDLES DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM.

CONTROL PANEL ON DRIVERS DOOR IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK, CLOSED THE DOOR AND RAN TO MY HOUSE. THE NEXT DAY THE CONTROLS NO LONGER WORKED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE LEFT MY VEHICLE WHILE RAINING BUT THE FIRST TIME THE CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM IN OTHER YEARS 2006-2007. CHERY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS BEING THE SAME ISSUE IN THE 2005 MODEL. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER RECALL - #13V248000. FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD. A SHORT MAY CAUSE THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY OR BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE.

VEHICLE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE! I SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, IT STOPPED IN THE CITY. REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL BODY PER THE DIAGNOSIS AND STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE HEADLAMP LOW BEAMS JUST GO OUT. I HAVE MOVED RELAYS AROUND BUT IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY POLICE SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE I AM BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS LIT. I SEE THEY RECALLED THE 2006 AND LATER MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK AT A SHOP AND WE SEE , ON AVERAGE, 10 PER YEAR THAT ARE 2005 AND THAT'S JUST IN OUR SMALL COMMUNITY. IF I SET A HALF HOUR, SOMETIMES AN HOUR THEN THE DIMS START WORKING AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS MAY 5TH OF 2018

LOW BEAMS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NOT EVERY MORNING BUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK THIS HAPPENS TO ME. IT IS DANGEROUS BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SCARE ME ANYMORE. IT HAS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN I STOP AT THE END OF MY ROAD.

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY SPEED

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE SENSOR RECALL AND THE MANIFOLD REPAIRS, *JS

IT ALL STARTED WHAEN I FILLED THE TANK OF GAS EVEN WHEN FULL THE GAUGE WENT CRAZY NEVER MARKED THE REAL AMOUT NOW ALL THE PANEL IS NOT FUNCTIONING ANS SOMETIMES TURNS ALL LIGHT AND STOPS WORKING AIR WINDOWS ETC.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD CONSTANT BRAKING ISSUES. FROM CONTINUAL ROTOR REPLACEMENTS TO REGULAR PAD REPLACEMENTS. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NEVER BEEN CONSTANT WITH REGARD TO PRESSURE AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN"SOFT" WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE LAST 25 FEET OR SO THERE IS A VIBRATION, HUM, AND WHEN FINALLY STOPPED, THE PEDAL SINKS ANOTHER 1/2 INCH OR SO LIKE IT SIGHS OF RELIEF. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO JUDGE APPROPRIATE BRAKING DISTANCES AND LACKS CONFIDENCE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. WE TOOK IT TO GROSSMAN CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED IN OLD SAYBROOK CT. WE WERE TOLD THERES NOTHING WRONG AND OUR DRIVING STYLE IS TO BLAME.THAT WE WERE BRAKING TOO HARD AND CAUSING THE ROTORS TO WARP. THERE IS A FAULT IN THE ABS SENSOR SYSTEM AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO ASSIST OWNERS. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS MUST BE RECALLED OR REPAIRED AT GM EXPENSE. I WILL NOT PAY A STEALERSHIP ANY MORE MONEY TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS AN ENGINEERING FAULT.

SO I CAN'T REALLY DRIVE AT NIGHT AS MY DIM LIGHTS JUST STOP WORKING. YES I HAVE BRIGHTS AND I HAVE BEEN STOPPED TWICE AND TICKETED ONCE FOR THE ISSUE OF FAILURE TO DIM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS THEY ARE RECALLING ALL THE NEWER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2005. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAVE EVEN MOVED RELAYS AROUND BUT NOTHINGS HELPS EXCEPT TO SET ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY FOR A COUPLE HOURS BEFORE THEY APPARENTLY COL DOWN? YOU TELL ME

I CAN'T TELL IF MY TANK IS FULL OR EMPTY

MY HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE ANYTHING. LOOKED ONLINE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE YET NO RECALLS WHEN ENTERING MY VIN. THANK YOU.

SINCE THE PURCHASE MY TB ENGINE WILL STOP WHEN AC AND HEATER IS ON ON STOP LIGHT, THAT IT WAS DELAYING WHILE DRIVING. IT GOT WORSE AFTER "WARRANTY WAS OUT, I BELIEVE IN JULY 2007.NO ONE CAN FIND THE CAUSE, BUT THINKING ITS ALL SYSTEM FAULTY., ENGINE, ELECTRONICS, FANS. COULD I AFFORD A NEW CAR, I WOULD NOT KEEP THIS CAR, AS NOW I KNOW IT WAS THE WORSE YEAR MAKING OF ALL. NOW I ONLY PRAY TO STAY ALIVE WHILE DRIVING AND NOT GET INTO SOME BEYOND MY CONTROL BUT FAULTY GM MODEL MAKERS

MY GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS STOPPED WORKING. FIRST, ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY TAC AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE TEMP GAUGE. NOW, LAST WEEK MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED.

MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING MY GAS GAIGE STOPPED WORKING AND MY ODOMETER WENT OUT CANT SEE THE MILELAGE AND I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TAKE,AND THE SPEED IS MOT WORKING.I REMEMBER A RECALL AWHILE AGO IF YOU HAD THE PROBLEM THEY SAID AND I DIDNT AT THAT TIME I THINK IT WAS 2011

THE GAS GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY EVERY ONCE INAWHILE IT WILL MOVE BUT GOES RIGHT BACK TO E

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY REDUCED SPEED TO 20 MPH AND JERKED ABRUPTLY. IN ADDITION, THE REDUCED ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND THE RELAY SWITCH. THEY WILL WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN WILL GO OUT AGAIN. SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME BACK ON. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK ONCE IN A WHILE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY LIGHTS BACK ON AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE 2005 SEEMS TO BIG A BIG ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. THE DATE I SELECTED BELOW FOR WHEN THIS HAPPENED IS THE MOST RECENT.

WHEN YOU TURN THE HEAT OR AIR ON HIGH THE RED WIRE ON THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR GETS HOT AND MELTS AND I HAVE 2 LITTLE GIRLS THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS ISN'T NORMAL

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE TANK IS FILLED FULL BUT IT WILL ALWAYS READ EMPTY. I ALREADY HAVE A REFURBISHED CLUSTER SO IT WILL NOT BE THE CLUSTER'S FAULT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR TO BE FIXED TO AVOID ACCIDENTS ON THE ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE DARK AND MY AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. I PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THEM BACK ON. I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH TWO TRACTOR TRAILORS TO MY RIGHT AND TRAFFIC TO MY LEFT. SUDDENLY IT WENT DARK. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I GOT AROUND THE TRUCKS AND PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. BEFORE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEY TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IN THE DARK A LONG DISTANCE UNTIL THE OTHER NIGHT. MY HEADLIGHTS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNING OFF AND ON IN THE DAYLIGHT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I CHECKED AND THERE WASN'T ANY OPEN RECALLS. ALTHOUGH THE 2006 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING.

I BOUGHT 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AND THE FUEL GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS CRAZY TO HEAR BEEP SOUNDING ALL THE TIME TELLING ME THE GAUGE IS EMPTY WHEN I KNOW FOR SURE IS NOT. I WISH IT COULD BE FIXED, BECAUSE I HAVE MANY OTHERS THINGS IN MY PLATE THAT NEED TO WORRY, I REALLY DON'T NEED ANOTHER ONE.

GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 3 GAUGES NOT WORKING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE GAS GAUGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR GAS TANK IS EMPTY OR HOW FAST YOUR GOING. THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED.

MY GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING, SO I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE.

DRIVING 6 PEOPLE TO PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AT 3 AM 8/5/17 ON THE PARKWAY TO CATCH A FLIGHT FOR A VACATION WHEN NOTICED LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I WAS DRIVING BEFORE THIS WAS NOTICED. LOW BEAMS WORKED THE EVENING OF 8/12/17 @ 10 PM AFTER RETURNING TO PITTSBURGH AIRPORT AND DRIVING HOME. LOW BEAMS DID NOT WORK AGAIN ON THE EVENING OF 8/24/17 WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM A BASEBALL GAME. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED 9/1/17 BY NICK CHEVROLET IN TARENTUM, PA. I HAD ASKED BEFORE AND AFTER THE REPAIRS WHETHER THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL BUT WAS TOLD NO BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE THIS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THE KNOWN LOW BEAM ISSUE RECALL OF OTHER CHEVY MODELS. I ALSO CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE TO SEE IF I COULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WAS TOLD THE SAME THING; THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL AND IT IS BASED ON WHAT FACTORY THE CAR WAS MADE AT? THE PART NUMBER USED WAS 15016745 WHICH UPON LOOKING ON THE INTERNET IS A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE SAME ISSUE CAN BE PART OF A RECALL FOR SOME YEARS AND MODELS AND NOT OTHERS IF THE PROBLEM AND PART ARE THE SAME??

HEADLIGHTS ON 2005 TRAILBLAZER GO OUT OCCASIONALLY WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED AND DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES.

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER,4 WHEEL DRIVE DOES NOT ENGAGE

AIRBAG DID NOT WORK

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN SITTING IDLE OR WHEN CHANGING BETWEEN THE GAS AND BRAKES. I WAS HIT IN THE REAR THIS MORNING WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY NEITHER VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE A D THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ISSUES.

FOR THE 3RD TIME THE CLUSTER HAS GONE OUT. THIS RESULTS IN THE SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND OTHERS TO STOP WORKING. EACH TIME I AM EXPECTED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PART REPLACEMENT AT $700.00+ EACH TIME. THIS MODEL HAS NO RECALL. I AM FED UP WITH PAYING THIS MUCH EVERY 3-4 YEARS FOR A DEFECTIVE PART. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SIGN BEFORE IT GOES OUT.

MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR P245/65R17 TIRE TREAD SEPARATING FROM SIDEWALL ON ALL TIRES.

THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING AND THE FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL OF GAS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION WHEN FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED.

NOV.2013 WAS THE FRIST TIME WE HAD A PROPLEM, RIGHT AFTER THAT THE OIL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. ON AN OFF WE HAVE NOTICED OTHER TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT SEEM TO BE ELECTRICAL. FOR THE LAST YEAR \YEAR AN HALF MY GAS IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, ALWAYS STOPPING TO GET GAS AS NOT TO GIVE OUT. ALSO, MY GEAR AND MILEAGE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. NOW HAVE NO IDEA WHEN TO CHANGE THE OIL OR ROTATE TIRES

WHILE DRIVING THE DIM LIGHTS TURN OFF BY THEM SELVES. NOW THEY WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED RELAYS AND FUSES. NO HELP.

GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS/RECALL. ON 07/18/2014 I TOOK MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER (32,262 MI.) IN FOR SERVICE TO FIX/REPLACE PARTS: FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. TODAY, 06/02/2017, MY TRAILBLAZER (35,193 MI.) IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS CAUSING ABS AND PARKING BRAKES LIGHTS TO COME ON AND STAY ON, THE BLOWER FOR AIR/VENT WILL NOT WORK AND SINCE THESE PARTS ARE ALL CONNECTED ELECTRICALLY, I ONCE AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I WAS NEVER REIMBURSED FOR THE FIRST RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WOULD HATE TO GET RID OF A PERFECTLY GOOD VEHICLE, THAT HAS HELD UP ALL OF THIS TIME, I ONLY HAVE 35,200 MILES ON THIS 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WILL THE IGNITION SWITCH KEEP FAILING ON THIS VEHICLE? THANK YOU.

ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE CONTROL PANEL DO NOT FUNCTION (SPEEDOMETER, TEMP, GAS) WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON, THE GAUGES MAY SLIGHTLY MOVE, BUT ALL ARE INACCURATE.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING LONG DISTANCE IN THE DARK. HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME FRAME, BUT GENERALLY IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 10- 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I SUSPECT IT IS HEAT RELATED. I HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHT RELAY #46, BIT IT ONLY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WEEK. AGAIN THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MINUTES. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. COULD THIS BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO MULTIPLE FORUMS EXPLAINING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH EARLY 2000 MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO. LAST WEEK WE RAN INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM. OUR ABS LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. LIKE THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME ANYWHERE FROM 10 MINUTES TO 30 MINUTES. AGAIN, I FEEL IT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS/WIRING IS OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THESE ISSUES. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS THIS ISSUE AS IT IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS USA WIDE.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH MODULE GOT HOT & STARTED SMOKING. REMOVING AND LOOKING AT IT SHOWED THAT IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT STARTED SOMEWHERE ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. IT SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM LISTED ON THE 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V599000) IT HAPPENED IN 2015. I'VE JUST BEEN HOLDING ONTO THE PART BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT & THE LOCAL DEALER WASN'T ANY HELP.

WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES THE HEAD LIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT OR DIMMED A LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED VARIOUS INJURIES TO THE FACE, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED FOR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM 45 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR MY WHOLE TRUCK VIBRATES AND IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS SEIZING BUT IF I ACCELERATE MORE OR REDUCE MY SPEED IT GOES AWAY. I WAS RESEARCHING ONLINE AND FOUND OUT I WASNT THE ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. I WAS JUST THINKING OF EVERYONE'S SAFETY INCLUDING MY OWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE REAR HATCH WINDOW FAILED AND FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DID NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT RELAY. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ON DIM OCCASIONALLY. THE LIGHTS WILL ALSO STAY ON WHEN THE SWITCH IN SHUT OFF. THEY WILL ALSO COME BACK ON AFTER GOING OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR 2006 MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NONE FOR THE 2005. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CONTROL STARTED SMOKING, THEN IT QUIT WORKING

OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND IT'S A DANGER TO DRIVERS NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THEY ARE TRAVELING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEARSHIFT IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DRIVE. IN ADDITION, WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY INCREASE ONE GRAM RPM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FORWARD GEAR WAS LOCKED IN WITH THE LOSS OF PARK AND REVERSE AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,672.

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN FUELING UP, THE GAS GAUGE FALLS TO 0, AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND THE LOW FUEL SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND DINGS. AFTER A FEW MILES THE GAUGE GOES TO 1/4 OF A TANK INDICATING THERE IS GAS, BUT NOT INDICATIVE OF ACTUALLY WHAT IS IN THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER EVERY TIME I FUEL UP, AND THEN STOP AT THE GAS STATION AND REFUEL EVERY 240 MILES. HOWEVER THIS PAST WEEKEND I RAN OUT OF FUEL AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I KNOW NOW THAT THIS IS ALSO UNRELIABLE AND WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO STOP AT EVERY 200 MILES.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2009. IT HAD ABOUT 60000 MILES ON IT. 1) THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH IT WAS A BURNOUT OF THE HAC BLOWER PLUG, THAT PART OF THE WIRING HARNESS HAD TO BE CUT OUT AND REPLACED WTH A COMPLETELY NEW PLUG( BOTH HALVES) AND REWIRED IN FOR A COST OF 125.OO AND 3 HOURS OF LABOUR. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET VERY COMMON PROBLEM 2) RIDER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL STOPPED WORKING WITH STRONG ODOR OF BURNT PLASTIC. AGAIN LOOKED UP AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY 2006 VEHICLES 3)BRAKES BURN OUT OF ROTORS ONLY ON RIGHTSIDE- LEFT SIDE ROTORS WERE FINE, BRAKE JOB WITH REPLACEMENT OF 2 LEFT ROTORS I FRONT PISTON AMD ALL 8 PADS 650.00. FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET 4) FAILURE OF IGNITION SWITCH WITH ERRATIC ELECTRICAL FUNCTION OF RUNNING LIGHTS, RADIO AND DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION. HAPPENED ON THE ROAD EARLY TWILIGHT VERY DANGEROUS HAD TO GET A LOCAL TOLL FOR 75.00 ALL OF THESE FAILURES HAVE MADE ME VERY WARY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THEY OCCURRED AT VARIOUS TIMES OVER LAST 4YEAR SOME HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AS NOTED ABOVE. PRESENTLY WAITING FOR IGNITON SYSTEM REPAIR.

MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT IS LEAKING GAS FROM THE GAS TANK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SUV IS RUNNING.

PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES OVER THE 5 YEARS WE'VE OWNED IT. HAD A RELAY SWITCHED OUT THAT HELPED FOR A LITTLE BIT. ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE WIRING RIGHT BY THE HEADLIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS BURNT UP. WE TOOK IT TO CHEVY IN DEVILS LAKE, ND. I SEEM TO NOTICE OTHER TRAILBLAZERS DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHT BURNT OUT. *TR

DAY/DIM LIGHTS KEPT GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT DARK. AND NOW THEY WONT COME ON AT ALL. HAVING TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON. JUST WANDERING WHAT DO I DO. OR HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO FIX IT . IM TIRED OF GETTING BRIGHT LIGHTED FROM OTHER CARS THAT I PASS. THERE'S BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THERE. NOT SURE ON THE DATE BELOW, JUST AND ESTIMATE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS SHOWS EMPTY, NOT WORKING. NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. OIL GAUGE NOT WORKING.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND GAUGES KEEP DIMMING WHILE DRIVING.THEY WILL FLASH.THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN COME BACK ON AFTER A MINUTE OR SO.IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME TROUBLE.THE 2006 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE 2005 MODELS WERE NOT.WHY WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUES?THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THE LIGHTS GOING OFF CAUSING A WRECK.THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ALLOT EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRAILBLAZER SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED THE HDM SOLID STATE RELAY TWICE, BUT AFTER A TIME. 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR, THE FAILURE OCCURS AGAIN. ONCE THE HDM MODULE BECAME TO HOT TO TOUCH UPON FAILING. THIS LAST TIME, THE THIRD, THE LIGHTS MAY COME ON AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME HAS PASSED. IT IS AS IF THE MODULE IS SHORT CIRCUITING OR OVERHEATING LEADING TO A SHORT CIRCUIT.

FRAME HAS RUSTED THOUGH, JUST DISCOVERED DURING REPLACEMENT OF RACK AND PINION BY GARAGE.

OCCASIONALLY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I SEE THAT 2006-07 WERE RECALLED BUT MANY OTHERS WITH A 2005 ALSO COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING.

2005 HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTION AS THE 2006 HEADLIGHT GO OUT BY THEMSELVES, THUS CAUSING A UNSAFE CONDITION ON THE HWY. THEY SHOULD BE ON RECALL TOO. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE I 1 OWNER HAD VEHICLE.

FUEL GAUGE WAS ON 1/2 TANK. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAUGE METER WENT TO THE LEFT AND READ "EMPTY" AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE METER STILL READ LOW (LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK), IT EVENTUALLY RETURNED THE TO THE 1/2 GAUGE/METER MARK. CAR WAS STATIONERY AT THE GAS STATION AT TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THEN I EVENTUALLY DROVE OFF AT LOW SPEED.

THE LOW FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER I FILL MY FUEL TANK. THE INDICATOR NEVER GOES OFF AT ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INACCURATE FUEL AMOUNTS. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, A FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR NEAR THE WINDOW SWITCH. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

AS OF 2011 (WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS) I'VE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS MY FUEL LEVEL GAGE WOULD READ FULL AND VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF CAUSE NO GAS IN TANK, AIR BAGS SENSOR WOULD SHOW IT ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THERE ARE SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON DRIVER SEAT CONTROLS NOT WORKING, DASH BOARD GAGES NOT SHOWING READINGS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION (RMP, SPEEDOMETER, OIL, GAS).

SINCE 2011 I'VE BEEN HAVING WRONG READING OF GAS LEVELS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SHUTOFF. PLUS MY PASSAGER AIR BAG DISPLAYS ON WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN SEAT AND WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSAGER SEAT IT OCCASIONALLY FLICKER ON AND OFF. HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HAD A INCIDENT JUST YET BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED AND DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE.

HEAD ON COLLISION BOTH VEHICLES TRAVELING ABOUT 30MPH ON IMPACT AND TRAILBLAZER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON AND WAS NOT INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE HOOD. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAILED GM/AC DELCO TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE FITTING, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION COOLANT TO LEAK OUT ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS AT TIMES DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKE THE BRAKE MAKES A NOISE SOUNDING LIKE GRINDING, NOT CATCHING OR HOLDING, SLIPS AND GOES TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TO RAPIDLY ACT WITH SWIFTNESS WITHIN A SHORT TIME TO REAPPLY MY BRAKES IN HOPES THEY WORK. THE BRAKES SOMETIMES FAIL ON BUMPY ROADS, GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, COMING TO A STOP AT LOW SPEED, EVEN ON SMOOTH ROADWAYS, AT TIMES ENTERING ON-RAMPS, AND TURNING CORNERS. I HAVE BEEN GOING OVER GM'S EXPANDED RECALLS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH TRUCK AND SUV'S BRAKES THE DATE I SAW WAS 12/23/2005. CAN I GET HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM???

THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL BE STUCK AND THEN IT WILL NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS. ALSO THE FAN CONTROL SWITCH STOPS WORKING AT THE SAME RATE. SOME DAYS IT WORKS AND SOME DAYS IT WON'T.

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK MOST OFTEN AND WHEN IT DOES, DOES NOT SHOW AN ACCURATE READING.

MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS LOW BEAMS COME ON AND OFF, I REPLACED THE DRIVER CONTROL MODULE RELAY, THE BULBS, FUSES UNDER THE HOOD, AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH. MY LIGHT'S STILL COME ON AND OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW ABOUT THIS MATTER. PLEASE HELP ME. IT HAPPENS ON STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON CITY AND HIGHWAY STREET AT RANDOM. I HAVE NOTHING TO UPLOAD THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR JUST ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW, I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT.

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING.

THE SPEEDOMETER DOESNT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTERWARDS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ABS SENSOR, THE OXYGEN SENSOR, THE BRAKE PADS, THE CLUSTER MODULE AND THE FUEL SENDER LEVER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE; IT STICKS / JERKS WHILE DRIVING AFTER WHICH IT DOES NOT DISPLAY AN ACCURATE SPEED. I'VE HAD MY SPEEDOMETER READ 30MPH WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT HAS A GREATER TENDENCY TO STICK AROUND 50-60MPH. REPEATEDLY STARTING THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER TO GO THROUGH ITS RESET CYCLE WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE BACK TO 0MPH IN APPROXIMATELY 5MPH INCREMENTS FOR EVERY START. THIS ONLY PROVIDES A BIT OF RELIABILITY FOR SHORT TRIPS.

MY 05 TRAILBLAZER KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. IN A 2-MILE STRETCH IT SHUT OFF 5 TIMES WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE TREMBLED AND THEN TURNED OFF. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS ON PREVIOUS YEARS BUT IT ONLY OCCURRED ONCE AND THEN STOPPED ON THOSE OCCASIONS.

CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. REVS UP REALLY HIGH WITHOUT ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR HATCH LOCK FAILED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE REAR HATCH AND THE FRONT ROTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE FRONT ROTORS. THE SPEEDOMETER AND REAR HATCH WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ABNORMAL ODOR PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,584.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOOR POWER SWITCH FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER A FILL UP. IT NEVER MOVES. ALSO I HAVE REPLACED SHOCKS AND STRUTS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE VEHICAL BUT EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD IT SHAKES YOU FROM SIDE TO SIDE REALLY HARD.

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED UP MY TANK. I STARTED MY CAR AND THE GAUGE WAS NOT AT THE FILL LINE. THE GAUGE JUST BOUNCED UP AND DOWN AND THEN WENT BELOW THE EMPTY MARK MAKING THE CHIME GO OFF AND THE CAR RED "FUEL IS LOW". THIS WAS ON A SECONDARY CITY STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V417000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL OUT FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR, BUT I KNOW THAT MINE IS PART OF IT. I HAVE A 2005 TRAILBLAZER AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM AS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE IN THE PAST AND I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY REMEDY THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE RELAY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RETURNED AND I HAVE EVEN BEEN PULLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IT. AFTER DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH TODAY I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE TONS!!!!! OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE GOING BACK AS FAR AS 2002. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TRAILBLAZER/T32JTL93I9FKAUF4N HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=47492 HTTP://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/TRAILBLAZER-27/2003-TRAILBLAZER-HEADLIGHTS-2588/ I ALSO RAN ACROSS THAT GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR HEADLIGHTS, BUT IT ONLY COVERS YEARS 2006-2008. HTTP://FORTUNE.COM/2014/12/01/GM-RECALLS-316000-VEHICLES-BECAUSE-OF-MALFUNCTIONING-HEADLIGHTS/ CLEARLY!!!! THIS PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO THOSE YEARS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT.. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO SO THAT I CAN GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF? PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY AS WINTER IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AND THIS IS A DAILY DRIVER FOR ME. I GO TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN IT IS DARK AND BY THE TIME I COME HOME AGAIN IT IS ALREADY GETTING DARK. IT WOULD BE NICE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE AS I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND EVEN TO HAVE OTHERS BE ABLE TO SEE ME COMING AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT IN MAY 2005. A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, I ATTEMPTED TO SEARCH THE WEB FOR RECALLS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY. EVENTUALLY IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN ON ITS OWN. SO I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. AROUND 2009, OR MAYBE LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A WAY TO GET IT REPLACED FOR FREE BUT IT HAD STIPULATIONS. LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100K MILES. WELL AT THE TIME IT WAS 108K-115K MILES AND I WAS DENIED. I MUST ADMIT I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT TO THIS DAY I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO GET THE PUMP REPLACED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR IT AS IT WAS THE COMPANIES FAULT. I CALCULATE MY MILES BASED OFF THE "TRIP" INDICATOR ON THE DASH. I KNOW IT SEEMS SILLY, I MEAN IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO JUST INVEST, I'M A BIT STUBBORN. SO INSTEAD, WHEN THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE I KNOW MENTION BUYING A CAR I JUST TELL THEM DONT BUY A CHEVY, EVEN IF THEY HAVE AMAZING CARS. TRUTH BE TOLD NOT ONE FAMILY MEMBER HAS A CHEVY BECAUSE OF MY INCIDENT AND ANY NEW FAMILY MEMBERS WELL THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE CHEVY EITHER. THANKS FOR LISTENING, I'M SURE IT WONT MATTER, EITHER WAY BUT THESE BLOGS AND COMPLAINT FORUMS MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. (MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING, TRAVELLING FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER, ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY)

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I CHECKED WITH DEALER AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN. ACCORDING TO GM I WAS MAILED OUT A SERVICE NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE IN 2011 WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. # 10041526 . I CHECKED WITH THE GMC DEALER ABOUT THIS SERVICE BULLETIN AND THE THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. WELL THE DEALER CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THE PARAMETERS FOR A COST FREE REPAIR. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW BACK AND 2005 AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE THIS SERVICED AT OVER THE YEARS NEVER DID ANY REPAIRS ON THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM A OIF ARMY VETERAN AND I CAN NOT CURRENTLY AFFORD THIS $900 REPAIR. I TOLD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHEVY ABOUT THIS AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A CHEVY LOYALTY CAR. REALLY YOUR KIDDING ME?

FIRST MY REAR WIPER AND REAR WASHER STOPPED WORKING BUT WHEN YOU TURN THE BUTTON IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO GO. SECOND MY SPEEDOMETER IS ALL OVER THE BOARD. SOMETIMES IT RUNS LOW, SOMETIMES IT'S HIGHER AND AT TIMES IT JUST WON'T MOVE. IT HAS ALSO BEEN OFF THE BOARD POINTER DOWN AT THE PRND321. THIRD MY OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES:VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL SHOW DOOR GATE OPEN, DOOM LIGHTS WIL BE ON, RINGING BELL WHEN THE DOOR WOULD BE OPEN AND YET ITS ACTUALLY CLOSED, AS ALL CONTINUES TO GO AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT. SPEED ODOMETER GAGE DOESN'T READ WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOVEMENT AND THE GAS GAGE DOESN'T READ THE CORRECT LEVEL OF SHOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN VEHICLE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUES CAUSE IT HAS ME WORRIED OF NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE BEFORE IT RUNS OUT OF GAS RISKING MYSELF AND OTHERS BECAUSE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDENNESS LOSES SPEED AND SHUTS DOWN.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS GO OUT COMPLETELY. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK AND ARE THE ONLY OPTION FOR GETTING HOME. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE WERE TRAVELING AWAY FROM HOME. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND REALIZED THAT WE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FROM LOOKING ONLINE - THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION. SHOP CAN'T HELP UNLESS THEY ARE DOING IT AT THE TIME.

THE GAUGE CLUSTER, SPEAKERS AND OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS STOP WORKING AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE GAUGES EITHER REGISTER COMPLETELY MAXED OUT, MINIMUM OR SOMEWHERE OBVIOUSLY WRONG. EXAMPLE FUEL GAUGE WAY PAST FULL, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READING 0, CHARGE GAUGE MAXED OUT TACHOMETER COMPLETELY OFF THE SCALE AND SPEEDOMETER INOPERABLE. REAR SPEAKERS WORK SOMETIMES AND BULBS IN BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. THE GAUGES ARE OF MOST CONCERN AS THE TRUE VALUES OF FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE, BATTERY VOLTAGE AND ENGINE TEMP ARE RARELY ACCURATE (OR EVEN CLOSE). THE SPEED WILL NOT OPERATE AT TIMES AND OCCASIONALLY IF THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED THE SPEEDOMETER WILL CORRECT ITSELF. ALL THESE CONDITIONS CREATE SAFETY CONCERNS ON SOME LEVEL FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A LESS THAN DESIRABLE LOCATION, DRIVING AT INCORRECT SPEEDS, OVERHEATING ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING OR ENGINE PROBLEMS. LOSING A TAIL LIGHT NOT ONLY CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR TRAFFIC BUT CREATES ISSUES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL. THESE CONDITIONS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, DRIVING, PARKED OR IDLING BUT THE KEY MUST BE ON TO POWER THE ACCESSORIES. TYPE OF DRIVING (CITY, HIGHWAY, ETC,) MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED AND ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ALSO ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE WHEN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL GAGE IS NOT SHOWING THE FUEL LEVEL , SO IT LOOKS LIKE ITS EMPTY ALL THE TIME AUTOMATIC AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND ON WINDSHIELD URETHANE BEAD MAY NOT HAVE ADHERED TO THE BODY IN CERTAIN AREAS DURING THE CURE PROCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE HEADLIGHTS RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

FUEL GUAGE IS NOT ACCURATE. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE GUAGE REGISTERS EMPTY.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VERY SCARY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEN THERE WAS MOISTURE IN THE AIR, THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER SWITCH FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V248000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

I HAVE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. JUST TODAY MY A/C QUIT BLOWING. I'VE HAD ENOUGH SO DECIDED TO RESEARCH ONLINE. GLAD I DID BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THERE REALLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. FIRST OFF I MY GAUGES(ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING FUEL GAUGE) STARTED TO ACT UP. SOMETIMES THEY WORKED AND OTHER TIMES THEY WERE WAY OFF OR JUST HANGING. THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORK AT ALL. THIS ALL STARTED YEARS AGO. I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT AS I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THEM. MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. ALSO SOMETHING I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH AS I DON'T DO TOO MUCH NIGHT TIME DRIVING. NOW THAT MY A/C IS NOT BLOWING I WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, AND AM NOT GOING TO ALLOW MY DAUGHTER AND I TO SWEAT EVERYDAY BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK AND SCHOOL TO HOME. THIS SUCKS!!! THEY REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE CONNECTIONS GETTING SO HOT THEY BURN UP.

LOW BEAM LIGHTING WAS OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AT 2030. IT DID NOT COME ON WHILE DRIVING (20 MINUTES) SO I HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS. I DID CHECK MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ABRUPTLY INTO SECOND GEAR, AND FROM SECOND GEAR INTO THIRD GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FIRST AND SECOND SHIFT SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED, AND THE SECOND AND THIRD SHIFT SENSOR WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT DARK AND MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING. AFTER EXITING THE PARKING LOT TO THE ROAD, I NOTE THAT THE LOW BEAMS WERE OUT. I THEN HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH TOWN ON THE BUSIEST ROADS WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 2100 AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 70'S.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER DARK, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR SOME TIME. THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS LEFT PARKED OVERNIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON I-75 IN MICHIGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 9:10 PM ON AUGUST 16, 2015, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT NEAR MILE MARKER 180. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS REMAINED OFF UNTIL AFTER I EXITED I-75 AT THE SOUTHBOUND 155 EXIT. AFTER LEAVING THE EXIT AND DRIVING AN ADDITIONAL 4 MILES, I AGAIN TRIED THE LOW BEAMS AND THEY WORKED. I LATER GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE (AFTER IT WAS OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES) AND THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE AGAIN OFF. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON AND I LEFT THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING AGAIN. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE EXECUTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE AT GM AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL AND THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO NOTICE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ON LAWNDALE/7 MILE ROAD IN SAGINAW COUNTY MICHIGAN IN JUNE 2014. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, MOST RECENTLY ON 8/8/15 ON GREENWOOD ROAD IN ALGER MI. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS GO OUT FOR NO REASON AND CANNOT BE TURNED BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WILL WORK. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WILL LATER TURN ON ON THEIR OWN. IT GENERALLY TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED ON DARK, COUNTY ROADS WHICH INCREASE THE DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE AND OTHER PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEIR EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT WHILE THE ISSUE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR, BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN JUNE 2005 IT IS NOT COVERED.

THE DIM HEADLIGHTS WILL START FLASHING FOR NO APPARANT REASON.

LIGHTS GO OUT/DIM WHILE DRIVING. NO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN USE-HEATER, AC, GPS, RADIO, CIGARETTE LIGHTER. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED OR CAUSED BY SPEED, ACCELERATION, DECELERATION. FULE TANK WILL SOMETIMES REGISTER EMPTY WHILE MOSTLY FULL. DO NOT NOTICE PROBLEM DURING DAYLIGHT DRIVING.

ON JULY 29, 2015 I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND SUDDENLY MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT 4.2L BEGAN TO STALL AND WOULD NOT PROCEED UPON ACCELERATION. AFTER CALLING THE GM CORPORATE OFFICE, I ASKED IF THERE WAS A POSSIBLE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION, THEY STATED "NO"... HOWEVER, THE REPRESENTATIVE DID TELL ME THAT MY USED 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT DID HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN 2007. THIS IS 2 YEARS AFTER THE VEHICLE HIT THE ROAD SPANKING BRAND NEW. THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS TRANSMISSION. I ENDED UP SPENDING A TOTAL OF $1,600.00 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I AM NOW LOOKING TO POSSIBLY TRADE MY TRAILBLAZER IN SOON. LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS HERE IN THIS FORUM REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER TRANSMISSION IS RIDICULOUS. GM REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE NHTSA GET STRICT WITH AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS. WHAT WILL IT TAKE BEFORE SOMEONE LISTENS TO THE CONSUMER, A DEATH? THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN MY FATE; LUCKILY, IT HAPPENED WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY.

I NOTICED MY BATTERY GUAGE QUIT. THEN AFTER STARTING MY TRUCK A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES, THE GAS GUAGE READ DIFFERENTLY. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER WDULD STICK ON 100 WHEN I WAS DOING APPROXIMATLY 60. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON IT. MY FRIEND HAS A 2005 ALSO AND HER CLUSTER PANNEL WENT OUT TOO. ITS A 400.00 REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS FROM WHAT IVE READ ONLINE. COME ON GENERAL MOTORS. YOU NEED TO RECALL THESE MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF, THE POWER LOCK SWITCH WAS ENGAGED AND THE WINDOWS CLOSED BUT FAILED TO OPERATE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V248000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ON A SPEED AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK DOWN TO 0 IS BY TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THIS IT APPEARS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY MANY PEOPLE BUT NOTHING GETS DONE ABOUT IT. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL TO GET IT FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AROUND 9:30 PM FROM THE LOCAL WAL-MART, I TURNED OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY/PUBLIC STREET AND MY HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON NO MATTER WHAT I DID. I WENT HOME THINKING MY LIGHTS WERE COMPLETELY OUT BUT WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE AND HIT THE HIGH BEAMS THEY WORKED JUST FINE. MY LOW BEAMS DID NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER AND OIL GAUGE JUST QUIT WORKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DOES NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL HOURS LATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN READY EMPTY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I LOOKED ON INTERNET TO SEE HOW TO FIX OR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. I NOTICED THERE WAS A LETTER SENT YEARS AGO TO THE AFFECT THAT GM WOULD COVER HALF THE COST TO REPAIR, UP TO 10 YEARS IN SERVICE OR 100,000 MILES. WHEN I CONTACTED DEALER THE CAR WAS IN SERVICE 10 YEARS AND 2 WEEKS AND HAS 84,000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED GM WILL NOT HELP COVER EXPENSE FOR REPAIR DO TO TIME IN SERVICE. I AM QUESTIONING IF THIS COULD BECOME A RECALL OR EXTENDED IN SERVICE DATING FOR THIS PROBLEM.

GAS GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE HEAD LIGHTS AND NOTICED THEY WERE MELTED ON THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

THE REAR SPOILER LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TRIED TO REMOVE IT WITH A SCREWDRIVER. EVENTUALLY IT CAME TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD "FLAP" IN THE WIND WHEN DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING, IT CAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE ELECTRICAL CORD, IT COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP FIXES IT, BUT IT BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING WITHIN A YEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN. AGAIN, THE FIX FAILED. I TOOK IT A THIRD TIME AND IT HAS JUST FAILED AGAIN, I WILL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND POSSIBLY A DEALER SHOP TO LOOK AT IT. I AM READING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2005 TRAIL BLAZERS. I HAVE PAID FOR A REPAIR ONCE AND FIND IT DIFFICULT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN THAT IS NO FAULT OF MINE OR REPEATED TAMPERING.

THIS VEHICLE WAS KNOWINGLY SOLD WITH AN EXISTING FAILURE TO A WARRANTIED PART. THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO NOTIFY US, THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER ABOUT THE FAILED PART AND HAS ATTEMPTED TO OFFER "HUSH MONEY" TO MAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY GO AWAY. THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP IS KNOWN TO BE BAD ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR IT AND JUST AS STATED OFFER HUSH MONEY TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM GO AWAY. THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR NEEDS TO STOP AND DEALERSHIPS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. A DOCUMENT WITH THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROBLEM CAN BE PROVIDED IF NEEDED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WAS DRIVEN BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER. SHE WAS TRYING TO ENTER ONTO I-10 INTERSTATE AND WAS GOING TOO FAST ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE HAZARDOUS AS IT WAS A SEVERE RAIN STORM. SHE HYDROPLANED AND HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER WHICH CAUSED HER TO SPIN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SHE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE TRUCK SPUN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STOPPPED. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY!!! THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE TOW COMPANY DRIVER SAID SHE WAS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE TRAILBLAZER WAS TOTALED AS THE AXLE AND THE ENGINE WERE ON THE GROUND. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE CHEVY VEHICLES BUT AM NOW HESITANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE B/C OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG.

THE AIRBAGS WILL SHOW THAT THEY'RE NOT ENABLED EVEN WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT.THEN IT WOULD COME ON AS BEING ON BUT NO PASSENGER IN SEAT. A LOT OF SENSORS HAVE POPPED UP IN THE ELECTRICAL PANEL, ON TOP OF THAT THE CAR KINDA SHUT DOWN ON ME AND STARTED GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR, AS I WAS GOING OUT IN TRAFFIC.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY NOW. THEY HAVE GONE OUT INTERMITTENTLY BEFORE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL ON THURSDAY, APRIL 9TH, 2015, AND HAVE NOT COME ON SINCE THEN. *TR

DASH CONTROLS AND READINGS ALL GO OUT. SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT SHOW SPEED. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN SHUT OFF. (ON THE WAY TO WORK IN A DOWNPOUR, NO LESS) DASHBOARD LIGHTS PARTIALLY WORKING. (IF I GO OVER 40 MPG CAN'T TELL WHAT MY SPEED IS) WAS WORKING CORRECTLY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW NOTHING. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2006-20XX (NHTSA 14V755000 ) JUST WONDERING, AFTER FINDING ON THE INTERNET, NUMEROUS 2005 OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM, WHY THIS MODEL WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS? I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM OF THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED AND INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 15MPH THROUGH A BOAT YARD WITH MY HEATER ON HIGH (5) I SMELLED A HOT METALLIC ODOR, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FROM SOME WELDING BE DONE ON A STEEL BOAT. THEN MY HEATER QUIT. I TURNED IT DOWN TO 3 OR 4 AND IT RAN A LITTLE LONGER AND QUIT COMPLETELY. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED ON A TRAILBLAZER WEBSITE TO FIND INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THE BLOWER RESISTOR SPEED CONTROL UNIT WAS A COMMON CAUSE OF THIS TYPE FAILURE. UPON REMOVING THIS RESISTOR PACK I FOUND THE PLASTIC PLUG CONNECTION ON IT HAD GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED AND FUSED THE PLUG IN THE SOCKET. WHEN I DID FINALLY GET IT APART I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE CONNECTOR PINS HAD BURNED COMPLETELY OFF. INSULATION ON THREE OR FOUR WIRES HAD ALSO BEEN BURNED. LUCKILY THERE HAD BEEN NO MAJOR FIRE. *TR

THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON EVEN AFTER I HAD A TUNE UP. I HAD DIAGNOSTICS DONE AND THERE IS SOME TYPE OF FUEL MISFIRE. TWO WINTERS STRAIGHT I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING LINES BURSTING AND REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS, MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST STAYS AT ZERO. IF GM USES A LOT OF THE SAME PARTS TO MAKE MULTIPLE MODELS WHY HAS THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER NOT BEEN RECALLED? I WAS TOLD THE GM ENVOY HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND OTHER INNER WORKINGS AS MY TRAILBLAZER SO WHY WOULDN'T THEIR RECALLS APPLY TO MY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IF I MAY BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

DROVE TO AN APPOINTMENT, WHEN CAME OUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. CALLED FOR TOW. AFTER APPROX. 30 MINS. AND BEFORE TOW ARRIVED, VEHICLE STARTED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND MADE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE. NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO SHOP FOR SERVICE ENGINE DIED WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. MANAGED TO GET OFF ROAD AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO SHOP. IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED 6/1/2014. HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO SHOP. A SECOND IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO INQUIRE WHY 2005 TRAILBLAZER NOT INCLUDED IN IGNITION SWITCH RECALLS AND SEEK POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT OF SERVICE COSTS FOR RECURRING PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NHTSA AND REPORT. *TR

ODOMETER WORKS THEN JUST STOPS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON NOW ALSO IF I PLUG IN MY CELL CHARGER THE RADIO SHUTS OFF DID NOT DO THIS UNTIL ISSUES WITH ODOMETER. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY CAR STARTED NOT WORKING A WEEK AGO.. IT WOULD SAY I WAS GOING 70 AND IN REALITY I WAS ONLY GOING 55. NOW IT STARTS OUT AT 110MPH WHEN I START DRIVING....MAKING IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING. I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS WILL MALFUNCTION AND TURN ON AND OFF, AT RANDOM DRIVING SPEEDS UNDER MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRAILBLAZER EVEN AFTER THIS OCCURRED. JUST NOT AS OFTEN. IF THE HEATER WAS ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHORT THE HEATER WOULD STOP AND THEN TURN BACK ON. THE FAN TURNS ON AT RANDOM, FIRST IT TURNS ON WHEN DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FAN WILL TURN ON AT RANDOM TIMES WITH A HIGHER SPEED AND SOUND. I HAVE HAD THE INSPECTION COMPLETED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A MECHANIC RE-ASSURING THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME DUE TO COMPUTER ERROR AND IS A $500.00 FIX. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED AND BEEN REPORTED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM KENDAL MOTORS IN LEWISTON IDAHO. I FIND THAT THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO FIX THIS VEHICLE IS OVERWHELMING AND TO SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS UNDER 100.000 MILES IS FINANCIALLY DISTRESSING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE FUEL PUMP PORTION REMOVED AND FIXED TWICE, I HAD TO PURCHASE A LOCKING CAP. THE STEREO REPEATEDLY JAMS WITH NEW CD'S EVEN. *TR

OUR SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER AND AS I READ, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT THERE IS SO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

SINCE OCTOBER 2014 THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD RANDOMLY START UP AT DIFFERENT INITIAL POINTS. SOME DAYS IT WOULD START AT 60 MPH, 10MPH AND RECENTLY IT STARTS UP AT 110MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE NEEDLE WOULD MOVE WHEN ACCELERATING BUT THE READINGS ARE COMPLETELY INACCURATE. I HAVE READ VARIOUS ONLINE BLOGS OF THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS IN GENERAL. GM DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL THEREFORE I WOULD FORMALLY LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. THE FUEL GAUGE SETS ON EMPTY REGARDLESS OF HOW FULL THE GAS TANK IS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SLID AND CRASHED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY.

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY TRUCK MY GAS NEEDLE GO TO EMPTY . NOW IT'S STAY ON EMPTY.. I HAD RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE . THE FIRST TIME I RAN OUT OF GAS I WAS IN COLUMBUS,OHIO . I HAD AN 1998 BLAZER AND I HAD TO GET AN NEW FUEL PUMP CAUSE THE GAS GAUGE WAS IN THE FUEL PUMP . SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A SIGN AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM IF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. DURING COLD WEATHER TEMPERATURES, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND BEING WARMED UP.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS MY GAS GAUGE READS 0. AFTER DRIVING 40 - 80 MI. IT SLOWLY COMES BACK, BUT READS INCORRECTLY FOR A FEW MILES. BY THE TIME ITS NEARING 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK IS SEEMS OK. I REALLY THINK ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT QUITS ALTOGETHER. I DON'T TRUST AND USE MY ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE MY GAS LEVEL. *TR

FIRST MY TEMP GAUGE STARTED READING INCORRECTLY. THE NEEDLE WOULD POINT WAY OUTSIDE THE NORMAL RANGE OF THE GAUGE, OFTEN STRAIGHT DOWNWARD. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. AT A FULL STOP IT SAYS I'M GOING BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR (SEVERAL REPAIRS PER WEEK) AND YET THERE'S NO RECALL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT NOTICED MOISTURE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE LEAKING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE SUBSTANCE DETERIORATED THE SEAT, CABLES, AND THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT COMPLETELY HAS GONE DEAD AND DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. MY TRAILBLAZER ALSO HAS STALLED IF STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MORE THAN ONCE. *TR

HIT BLACK ICE. TRUCK SLID OFF THE ROAD AND FRONT END IMPACTED THE DITCH CAUSING HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY. *JS

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE FLASHED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST. ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 2, 2014, WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I TURNED ON MY FOG LAMPS TO GET HOME. I CHECKED ALL FUSES AND RELAYS AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. I ALSO TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO SECURED A LOOSE GROUND WIRE. THIS DID NOT HELP. THEN I HEARD THAT GM WAS DOING A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT IT IS FOR MODELS 2006-2007, AND MINE IS A 2005. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE. *TR

WHEN THE STEERING IS TURNED TOO FAR THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY AND VERY SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF, NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE. SEATBELTS IN THE LAST ROW OF THE VEHICLE DON'T LOCK SO, OUR CAR SEATS JUST SLIDE DUE TO NEVER ENDING SEAT BELT. ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT COME ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND WILL STAY ON FOR DAYS AS RESULT OF GAS CAP BEING NOT SCREWED ON PROPERLY. DELAYED TURNING REACTION WITH STEERING WHEEL, HORN GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT STOP SOUNDING SO IT HAD TO BE DISABLED. *TR

STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTIONS, CAR TURNS OFF WHEN WHEEL IS EXTENDED TOO FAR TO THE LEFT. SEATBELTS FOR LAST ROW OF SEATS DON'T LOCK, RADIO IS STUCK, BUTTONS DON'T CONTROL RADIO PROPERLY. *TR

WHILE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO 4X4 HI, LO, OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSFER CASE NEVER DOES FULLY PUT IT INTO 4X4. WHILE DRIVING, THE DIM LIGHTS TURN COMPLETELY OFF. THE BRIGHTS WORK, BUT THE DIMS DO NOT. THESE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF OR A PROPER BUMP IS HIT. THE HEATER BLOWER IN THE FRONT SOMETIMES WILL NIT COME ON. THE BACK WILL BE BLOWING, NOT THE FRONT. ALSO IF A BUMP IS HIT IMPROPERLY, THE BACK SPEAKERS WILL START BUZZING. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES MY TRAILBLAZER HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM IN A STOPPED POSITION. WHETHER IT IS AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST STOPPING IN GENERAL. IT TAKES A MINUTE AND THEN RESTARTS. *JS IT HAS ALSO MULTIPLE TIMES LOST HEAD LIGHTS. THE LAST TIME WAS AT 9PM WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND THE ONLY WAY MY LIGHTS WOULD WORK WAS IF I HELD MY HIGH BEAMS ON.

THE SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORKS. AS THE WEATHER GETS COLDER, THE NEEDLE WILL GET STUCK IN THE 90-100 RANGE AND NOT RESET WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AS THE WINTER APPROACHES. IN THE SUMMER THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO WORK FINE. YEARS AGO THE NEEDLE ON THE OIL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS GOING TO COST OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SO DECIDED AGAINST THAT SINCE I CHANGE THE OIL REGULARLY. THE SPEEDOMETER IS A NECESSITY AND THE OCCURRING DEFECT SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. WHY ISN'T THIS BEING ADDRESSED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT 370. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS SWAYING BACK AND FORTH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A MEDIAN AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER MORE THAN TWICE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES IN WHICH THE INDEX FINGER ON THE LEFT HAND HAD TO BE SURGICALLY ADJUSTED AND ALSO THE THUMB WAS LACERATED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS RECEIVING FURTHER MEDICAL ATTENTION DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AND WILL NOT GO BACK DOWN TO 0MPH WHEN STOPPED. *TR

VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING WHEN I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON, 6/17/12, MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING EAST BOUND I-96 AND INVOLVED IN A NON-FATAL INJURY ACCIDENT BTWN BEECH DALY & INKSTER. THE ACCIDENT STARTED IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND ENDED WITH SUV FACING OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC, LEFT LANE OF HWY. I HIT A POTHOLE, APPROXIMATE DIAMETER OF A YARD STICK, FILLED WITH WATER AND IT SEEMS LIKE I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING; ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD INSTANTLY SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE EASILY COMPLETED AT LEAST A 360 SPIN OUT. WE WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH MINIMAL INJURIES DUE TO CLIPPING ANOTHER SUV TAIL END INSTANTLY BEFORE GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE CEMENT HIGHWAY DIVIDER! I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH MUSCLE STRENGTHENING WOULD BE INVOLVED IN MINE AND MY DAUGHTERS' HEALING PROCESS. I HAVE BEEN IN TO SEE AN INTERNIST, NEUROLOGICAL SURGEON, PHYSICAL THERAPIST, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, MASSAGE THERAPIST, NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE CAT SCANS, MRIS, ETC. PERFORMED AT MULTIPLE HOSPITAL LOCATIONS. MY VEHICLE INSURANCE CARRIER WAS NOTIFIED OF MY HEALTH INSURANCE RESTRICTIONS PRIOR TO SIGNING WITH THEM AND PRIOR TO THE MVI. THE REDFORD, MI POLICE REPORT INDICATES NO INJURIES BECAUSE NEITHER MYSELF NOR MY DAUGHTER WERE TAKEN AWAY BY AMBULANCE SINCE THE INJURIES WERE NOT LIFE THREATENING AND WE WERE BOTH IN FORMAL ATTIRE, BOTH BRIDAL PARTY MEMBERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TOTALED BY INSURANCE, LOAN PAID IN FULL; HOWEVER, APPARENTLY CONCERNS HAVE AROSE TO, PERHAPS, TO THE EXTENT OF OUR INJURIES SO NO MEDICAL PROCEDURES HAVE NOT BEEN PAID TO ANY OF THE SERVICE PROVIDERS, AS OF TODAY'S DATE (11/15/14). MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE PICKED UP BY ANOTHER GUEST ATTENDEE SO WE WEREN'T HOLDING UP PROGRESS, BEING IN THE WEDDING PARTY AND CARRYING ALL DECOR FOR AFTERWARD FESTIVITIES. NONE OF THE VEHICLE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND WE WERE GOING 60-65MPH (FRONT, SIDE, REAR, NO WHERE)! THANK YOU, GM, MDOT AND CURRENT EMPLOYEES FOR STAYING TRUE TO USA & MI! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,734.

THE ROADS WHERE SLIGHTLY WET AND I HIT A GUARDRAIL ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD GOING APPROX 30MPH - 35MPH. DESTROYING THE FRONT PASSENGER BUMPER, TURN SIGNAL LIGHT, TIRE, AXLE, SUSPENSION, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE GUARDRAIL OF COURSE. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED! POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN, NO FAULT OR MAJOR INJURIES, THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AND AGAIN THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! JUST MAKES ME THINK (IF I HAD WENT THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN INTO A TREE) WOULD THE AIR BAGS EVER WORK AND SAVE MY LIFE? PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 6 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

ENGINE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IN 2005 ($3,000 IN REPAIR...ACCORDING TO DEALER IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOT A RECALL). GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER BOTH STOPPED WORKING ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. DESPITE KNOWN ISSUES, GM STILL WANTED US TO PAY HALF THE COST OF REPAIR. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPAIRED, GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING. ALSO, THE HEATER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND WE CHANGE HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE OF SOME SHORT IN THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94 IN NORTH DAKOTA AND WE HEARD A POP. BY THE TIME WE PULLED OVER THERE WERE FLAMES UP TO THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. WE QUICKLY GOT OUT. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. DATE OF ACCIDENT WAS 10/31/2014. *TR

SPEED CONTROL. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED. 10 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR OVER & EVEN MORE AT TIMES. NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST CAR IS GOING. SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS UNDER. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING. NEVER KNOWING HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING. CHEVROLET ALSO REPLACED FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. REAR WIPER HAS NOT WORKED FOR YEARS. TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX. VERY UNSAFE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW. THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS. BOUGHT NEW. VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT.I AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING OR HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ON LINE THIS IS VERY COMMON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. SHORTLY AFTER, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAD COME ON PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. JUST LOST ALL POWER INSTANTLY. I TURNED THE KEY, AS YOU WOULD TO START THE VEHICLE, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. VERY GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR WHILE MOVING. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF IT IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM, AS THAT WHICH PLAGUES OTHER GM PRODUCTS. ALSO, I HAVE THE RADIO ON WHILE DRIVING AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT, THE RADIO REFUSES TO STOP PLAYING (IT IS SUPPOSED TO, AND IT USED TO, CEASE OPERATING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR). I AM FORCED TO OPEN THE BACK VEHICLE DOOR TO GET IT TO STOP. I WONDER IF THIS IS A RELATED ISSUE TO THE IGNITION, AS THE IGNITION KEY MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE SHUTTING OF THE ACCESSORIES. *TR

DRIVING DOWN MAN O WAR BOULEVARD IN LEXINGTON, KY - ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND WENT TO EMPTY. I CALLED GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS FOR THIS DEFECT. SINCE THEN I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS WITH ALL 3 OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE MOVING AT LEAST 45 MPH DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING CARS BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE AND CHEVROLET SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO CORRECT IT. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WENT OUT..

LETTER FROM SENATOR DURBIN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE GM RECALLS. *SMD 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE INQUIRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ABOUT A RECALL, REGARDING THE MALFUNCTION OF THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE AD OIL GAUGE. ALL THREE OF THEM STOPPED WORKING. *JB

I PURCHASED MY SUV IN AUGUST OF 2008 ABOUT A MONTH LATER AFTER PUMPING GAS I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. DUE TO THE WARRANTY I PURCHASE CARMAX FIXED THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME NOT IT IS 5 YEARS LATER AND EXACT SAME THINGS HAS HAPPENED AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER GAUGES SPINNING. SHORTLY, AFTER THE FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT I NOTICE THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE ACCELERATOR GAUGES DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE HAD MY SUV FOR 5 YEARS AND HAS CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE GAUGES SPINNING BACK AND FORTH. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WAS CHECKING ON RECALLS. I GOT A 877 # AND TRIED CALLING BUT IT WONT GO THROUGH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED WITH RECALL SO IF YOU CAN LET ME KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO I WILL DO IT. GM RECALL NP. 06102. *TR

I ALSO ENCOUNTERED AN ELECTRICAL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE, AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING THE SWITCHES FUNCTIONED AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT IN THE GM RECALL ON 6-30-14, THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER WAS IN THE RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH CAN OVERHEAT AND MALFUNCTION ALSO MENTIONED IS THE KEY SWITCH PROBLEM GM HAD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND BEEN TOLD THAT WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL RECALL FROM GM THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE WAS IN FACT A RECALL BUT IT SEEMS IT WAS "SWEPT UNDER THE RUG".

THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL UP BY THEMSELVES, ONE OF MY DOGS ALMOST GOT HIS HEAD STUCK IN THE BACK WINDOW, ALSO SEAT HEATER WOULD COME ON AND SWITCH FROM HIGH TO MED. TO LOW, THEN BACK TO HIGH. I HAD IT REPAIRED, COST WAS $413.00 I'M HEARING THE SAME TROUBLE HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH THE 2006 - 2007 MODELS AND SOME HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. IS THE NEW PART GOING TO DO THE SAME? CAN I RECOVER ANY OF THE COST? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE END OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES. THE FIRST THING TO GO WAS THE GAS GAUGE, ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRAIL BLAZER THE NEEDLE WENT SOUTH. IT ACTUALLY HOVERS AROUND 6 0 ' CLOCK. THEN A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO DRIVING HOME I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, I TOOK IT WITH THE HAND BUTTON AND LOOKED DOWN AND THE NEEDLE NEVER MOVED, IT WAS STUCK AT 65. IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS AND THE NEEDLE HAS MOVED BUT THE WRONG WAY, TO THE RIGHT GOING UP 75, 80, 90, THEN BACK DOWN TO 65 AND STAYING THERE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING THE GAS GAUGE AND I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT A PRICE OF 1200.00, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, CHEVROLET SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON FLORENCE BLVD MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE OIL GAUGE WASNT REGISTERING BUT THE OTHERS WERE WORKING OK. NOW ALL OF THEM DO NOT WORK EXCEPT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE ONE OR TWO OF THEM MIGHT START WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN THEY WILL STOP WORKING. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY LET FAULTY PRODUCTS GO THRU QC NOW THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON&OFF A LOT RIGHT AFTER FUELING, I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP&HAD THE CAMSHAFT REPLACED BECAUSE IT KEPT CUTTING OFF EVERY TIME I TURNED A CURVE.I TRIED TO SHOW OR TELL THEM ABOUT THIS GMC RECALL LETTER I GOT ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT DIDN'T APPLY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE&I TOLD THEM THE CAR IS NOT 10YRS OLD& THE PAPER IS SAYING 10YRS/120,00 MILES& FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THE MANGER CAN SEND MY BILL & RECEIPT IN FOR REIMBURSEMENT THEY WOULDN'T DO IT.I GUESS BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN.DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS AND GAUGE'S LIT UP AND THE CAR CUT OFF. IT DID NOT LOCK UP SO I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT FROM THE MIDDLE LANE OF A THREE LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TO THE GRASS ON THE SIDE WITHOUT GETTING KILLED OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE.I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP WITH GAS WITH A QUARTER OF A TANK FROM THE FULL LINE. ONCE I GOT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THANKING GOD THAT THIS WAS NOT TRAGIC,I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT BACK UP. IT STARTED BACK UP AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET A FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK&IT SHOWED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. A FEW WEEKS LATER AFTER I WOULD CUT THE CAR OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULD NOT STOP&THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON EVERY OTHER TIME I HIT THE BRAKES. I HAD TO KEEP TAKING OUT FUSE #35 TO GET IT TO STOP EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS CUT OFF JUST SO THE BATTERY WON'T RUN DOWN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED AN ARM&LEG TO GET IT FIXED. I SHOWED THEM THE RECALL LETTER AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THEM OR MYSELF TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECEIPTS & THE LETTER FROM GMC ABOUT THE RECALLS.IM SURE MY VEHICLE FITS IN THERE SOMEWHERE WITH THESE PROBLEMS& TRULY WOULD LIKE 4 THEM 2 GIVE MY FREE CAR. *TR

MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER WAS VISITING MY PARENTS IN VIRGINIA AND I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO GO AROUND A CURVE AND THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T TURN. I LOOKED AY MY DAUGHTER AND SAID "OH _ _ _ _" AND SHE ASK ME WHAT 'S WRONG? I SAID THE STEERING DIDN'T TURN AND IT WASN'T BUT SECONDS LATER, WE SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND WE ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES AND ENDED UP ON THE ROOF. I IMMEDIATELY WENT UNCONSCIOUS BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT. I HAD A BIG GASH ON MY HEAD AND WAS BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND I WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING BECAUSE BOTH OF MY LUNGS WERE PUNCTURED. ALL THE WINDOWS BURST OUT SO MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO ASK SOMEONE FOR HELP BUT MY SEAT BELT WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE SO THERE WAS AN ISSUE GETTING ME OUT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT SOMEONE THAT STOPPED HAD A POCKET KNIFE AND CUT THE SEATBELT TO GET ME OUT. I HAD A BAD CONCUSSION AND I KEPT GOING IN AND OUT . I HAD THREE BROKEN RIBS, THREE PELVIC FRACTURES, A BAD CONTUSION ON MY ELBOW AND I STILL HAVE A SWOLLEN KNOT ABOUT TWO AND A HALF INCHES ON MY LEFT LEG. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BACK AND I AM IN CONSTANT PAIN AND ON IMPACT, MY SEAT BELT JERKED AND CAUGHT MY BREAST AND I NOW HAVE FIVE CYST WITH THE LARGEST ONE BEING ONE INCH AND THEY ARE VERY PAINFUL. I HAVE TO WATCH IT VERY CLOSELY BECAUSE OF A CANCER RISK CALLED INFLAMMATION CANCER. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR THREE DAYS AND I HAVE TO CONTINUE RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE BECAUSE OF THESE INJURIES. MY DAUGHTER IS YOUNG AND NOW SHE HAS BACK PROBLEMS AND PTSD AND SHE ALSO CONTINUES TO RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE . THIS HAS REALLY IMPACTED AND CHANGED MY LIFE AND MY DAUGHTERS LIFE AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE LIFE LONG INJURIES AND ISSUES BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS AFTER FILLING TANK - IT READS EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AND INTERMITTENTLY THEREAFTER AT ANY FUEL LEVEL. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR TRAVELING ANY LONG DISTANCE AS YOU ARE NOT QUITE SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS AVAILABLE OR IF IT WILL SHUT DOWN ON ME DURING A DIFFICULT SITUATION. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK IT AND THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE MODELS TO GM. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS I TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY - I FEEL THAT THIS PUTS ME IN HARMS WAY. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD PAY TO A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT BUT DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 5 OR 6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING WHEN I WOULD FILL MY TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT REGISTER FULL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR THAT WASN'T WORKING. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $600 FOR A NEW ONE. I COULDN'T AFFORD THAT, SO NOW I USE MY MILEAGE INDICATOR AS TO WHEN I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. *TR

MY TRAIL BLAZER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WE CANNOT RESET IT. THE FULL GAUGE SAYS IT HAS MORE GAS THEN WHAT IT DOES, I HAVE TO GUESS TO AVOID RUNNING OUR OF GAS. SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING THEN IT FIXES ITS SELF. THE RADIO AND LIGHTS SOMETIMES STAY ON, AND KILLS MY BATTERY. *TR

THE DATE, MILEAGE AND MPH WERE EITHER ESTIMATED OR JUST UT IN SINCE OPTIONS DID NOT INCLUDE "UNKNOWN". WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. ONLY THE LOWBEAMS TURN OFF, BUT WHEN DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS IT IS DANGEROUS BUT NECESSARY (ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAYS). I CALLED GM AND THEY PRETTY MUCH CLAIMED THAT NO ONE HAD EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. BUT I DID RESEARCH AND IT HAPPENS A LOT. *TR

THE VEHICLE PRESENTED WITH ERROR ON READING THE SPEED ONE IS TRAVELING AT. FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND NOT READING GAS CORRECTLY. *TR

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT: NO BLOWER ON DEFROST, AIR, HEAT. BRAKE LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. ONLY 32,262 MILES. $240.34 TO REPLACE. WILL I BE REIMBURSED SINCE THIS IS A RECALL? *TR

MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THE CAR USED FOR ME FOR CHRISTMAS 2013. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY WHEN I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 0 IT REMAINED THAT WAY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I STARTED IT THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMED FINE BUT AFTER A 1/2 MILE I NOTICED I SPED UP AND SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING DOWN UNTIL IT FINALLY WENT TO 0. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOESN'T WORK. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT A LOT OF OTHER CONSUMERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SOME WITH MUCH LESS MILEAGE. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING IN MY CAR AN I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST THE CAR IS TRAVELING, DONE A RESEARCH ONLINE AN THERE ARE THOUSAND PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBABLY AS MINE WITH THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR AS I HAVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CAUSE CHEVROLET WANT $500 TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER AN THAT IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

THE WIRING CONNECTING THE BLOWER MOTOR TO THE RESISTOR UNDER THE GLOVE BOX HAS MELTED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO RESULTING IN SMOKE AND TOXIC FUMES FROM BURNING WIRES WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION WITH A/C OPERATING ON HIGH. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF STOPPED ANY FURTHER DAMAGE, I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND APPEARS AS THOUGH ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITHOUT GM ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND DOING ANY THING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE, ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS FILED WITH CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. *TR

MY CAR WAS STARTING FINE BEFORE THIS. I LEFT WORK WENT OUT TO MY CAR TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN ELECTRICAL NOISES EVEN AFTER I TOOK KEY OUT. GOT A JUMP (IT WAS QUICK) THE GAUGE WAS MOVING SLIGHTLY. GOT TO WHERE I NEEDED TO BE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY IT WOULD NOT START. JUMPED IT AGAIN GOT HOME AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN IGNITION AND THE LIGHTS FLASHED INSIDE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE ALL NIGHT! *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER WITH 32,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER. OVER THE FEW YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN FACED WITH A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES. MY FIRST PROBLEM BECAME THE AC LINES. THEY BEGAN TO LEAK DUE TO RUST, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 7 YEAR, 70,000 MILE WARRANTY. NEXT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BEGAN TO LEAK. THE COST WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE DEALER MANAGED TO BREAK THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE MANIFOLD TO THE ENGINE. THE BREAKAGE WAS NOT COVERED, AND THEREFORE, I HAD TO PAY. FOLLOWING THESE TWO ISSUES, I NOTICED RUST ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE. IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAD TO FIX THE FOLLOWING ITEMS DUE TO THE RUST: THE POWER STEERING COIL, REAR END, TRANSMISSION, FUEL PUMP, POWER STEERING LINES, POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK AND PINION, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, AND A FUEL GAGE RECALL FROM GM. IN ADDITION, I AVOID USING LOW 4-WHEEL DRIVE, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN THAT GEARING. *TR

MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2006, BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT MY FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. IT SHOWED EMPTY, AND, THEN 1/4 TANK. THE REAR WIPER SWEEPS WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH OTHER CONTROLS ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS IN GM VEHICLES SO I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY THIS HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE $500+ LAYING AROUND TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR

LEAVING PARKING LOT (& WANTING TO TURN ONTO ROAD) I APPLIED MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER EXT BRAKES. MY FOOT & PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE AT ALL. THANKFULLY NO CARS & GOING SLOW ENOUGH OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. INSTEAD OF STOPPING AT END OF PARKING LOT, I FOUND MYSELF ENTERING ROAD & SEEING TREES ON OTHER SIDE OF ROAD COMING UP QUICKLY. I GRABBED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER. SCARED ME TO DEATH!!! VEHICLE THEN TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP. SHOP OWNER REPORT = HOLE RUBBED IN BRAKE LINE CLOSE TO DRIVER FIREWALL SEPARATING ENGINE FROM SEAT AREA. HE FURTHER SAID "BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 30+ YEARS AND HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. SEEMS LIKE A HUGE DESIGN FLAW." RUBBING ON ANOTHER LINE & PINHOLE THERE NOW - WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY MY A/C WAS NOT WORKING ON DRIVER SIDE, BUT WORKING ON THE PASS SIDE. HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD AN ACCIDENT? HAVE ANOTHER (?)... IF GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT A PROBLEM FOR YRS ON SEVERAL MODELS: VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ON INTERNET BY HUNDREDS (IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS) - WHY WON'T NHTSA MAKE GM DO SOMETHING? PROBLEM = SPEED GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, & RADIO ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP WORKING ONE DAY. THEN SOME DAYS THEY ALL WORK, SOME DAYS ONLY 1 WORK, SOME DAYS 2 WORK??? AN EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR COMPUTER GLITCH? HAPPENED ABOUT 75K MILES ON BOTH MY AUTO & MY DAD'S 2005 CHEVY PICKUP. I LIVE IN SE, HE LIVES IN NE. TWO AREAS OF US; YET EACH DEALERSHIP WANTED ABOUT $600.00 TO FIX IT. CALLED GM: NO HELP AVAILABLE!! SEARCHED INTERNET FOR REPAIR FIX, & NOTICED TONS OF UNHAPPY OWNERS W/ SAME PROBLEM: GM WOULD NOT HELP THEM PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM - EVEN THOUGH IT'S THEIR EQUIPMENT PROBLEM. CLEARLY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE: NO ONE CAN TELL HOW FAST ACTUALLY GOING & LED TO MANY ACCIDENTS & SPEEDING TICKETS I'M SURE! TIME NHTSA STEPS IN DON'T YOU THINK? THEN HAVE THE BRAKE/AC LINE RUBBING ISSUE - CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE & I HOPE YOU DO SOMETHING! I STILL HAVE THE BRAKE LINE. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS, FUSES AND RELAY. HAD THIS PROBLEMS CHECKED OUT SEVERAL TIMES, NO ONE CAN FIND A SOLUTION TO WHY THEY DON'T WORK. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY COMING HOME WHEN THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING, I HAD TO PUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO BE ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY. *TR

ODOMETER NOW READS ZERO, DO NOT KNOW SPEED. GAS GAUGE READS ZERO. IF REAR DEFROST IS ON AND A/C UNIT IS ON THE FUSE FOR THE SYSTEM WILL BLOW. RADIO SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I FELT MY TRUCK LOSE POWER A FEW TIMES WHILE SLOWING TO STOP AS WELL AS TAKING OFF AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. MY FUEL TANK WAS APPROXIMATELY HALF FULL AND IT KEPT FEELING LIKE I WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS REALLY SCARED ME BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT FINALLY KICKED IN AND I ALMOST RAN INTO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

GAS GAUGE, SHOES IT HAS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF GAS.. WHEN TURNED OFF IT CAN SAY ITS AT 1/2 A TANK, THEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON IT SHOWS THAT CAR HAS 1 1/2 TANKS OF GAS. ITS NOT CONSISTENT AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO GUESS HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. ALSO THE CHECK LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THE GAS TANK HAS ISSUES TOO. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE I HEARD A "DING" FOLLOWED BY GAS EMPTY LIGHT INDICATOR. THE SUV WILL NOW NOT MOVE OFF OF "E" AND THE EMPTY LIGHT INDICATOR WILL NOT GO OFF EITHER. *TR

AT THIS TIME THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED MISREADING AND CONTINUES THROUGH TODAY. THEN THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED READING AND AFTER THAT THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE & AMP GAUGE STARTED MISREADING. I TALKED TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAS GAUGE WENT FROM SHOWING A FULL TANK TO SHOWING EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A FEW MILES THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING A HALF TANK. *TR

THE DASH COMPONENT WENT OUT, LEAVING ALL OF THE GAUGES BROKEN, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE. ALSO, THE FUEL SENSOR IS BROKEN SO IN ORDER TO HAVE A WORKING GAS GAUGE, BOTH THE DASH SYSTEM AND THE FUEL SENSOR MUST BE FIXED. THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND SOMETIMES WON'T UNLOCK IF THEY WERE LOCKED WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED ON AGAIN. IT TAKES THEM 2 WEEKS TO FIX THE PROBLEM!! MEANWHILE, WE HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, AND CONTINUALLY HAVE TO GAUGE OUR SPEED BY THE SPEED OF OTHERS AROUND US, IF WE ARE LUCKY TO BE TRAVELING WHERE THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HOPEFULLY ARE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $1500 TO FIX IT ALL AND HAVE A RENTAL CAR FOR THE 2 WEEK PERIOD IT TAKES THEM TO FIX IT. IT CAN'T BE FIXED BY A NON-GM SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE GM HAS TO REPROGRAM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ONCE IT IS FIXED SO IT WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE TOWED TO A GM DEALER ANYWAY AND WOULD COST EVEN MORE. MEANWHILE, WE AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND US ARE AT MORE RISK BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS. *TR

SUMMARY: CLUSTER GAUGES ARE GOING OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER QUICK WORKING AND IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST ON A DAILY BASIS. IT EITHER INDICATES A LESSER OR GREATER SPEED THAN ACTUAL OR JUST FALLS TO POINT STRAIGHT DOWN. I HAVE BEEN USING A MOUNTED GPS TO INDICATE SPEED. INITIAL REPAIR COST ESTIMATES WERE $500+ FOR THE PARTS SINCE THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER. WITH LABOR, THE ESTIMATE WAS IN EXCESS OF $800. OIL AND BATTERY GUAGES HAVE FAILED SINCE. BASED UPON THE NUMBER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME THING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY GM.

DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH ON 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS IS STUCK. THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT! I HAVE READ ANOTHER COMPLAINT FOR THE VERY SAME REASON AND A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION TO THE EXT AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EXT BUT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO THE LS. I CAN'T SHUT MY DOOR BECAUSE THE LATCH WON'T CONNECT.I OPENED THE DOOR AND COULD NOT SHUT IT AFTER THAT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T LATCH. WE HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THE PART AT A REASONABLE PRICE. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING IT, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY DEFECT WE CANNOT SELL IT. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE THE PART AND WE CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS AND THEY LOOKED UP RECALLS BUT COULDN'T HELP US CAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER ISN'T COVERED. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?? *TR

CLUSTER GAUGES ARE GOING OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER QUICK WORKING A FEW YEARS AGO AND IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST ON A DAILY BASIS. IT EITHER INDICATES A LESSER OR GREATER SPEED THAN ACTUAL OR JUST FALLS TO POINT STRAIGHT DOWN. I HAVE BEEN USING A MOUNTED GPS TO INDICATE SPEED. INITIAL REPAIR COST ESTIMATES WERE $500+ FOR THE PARTS SINCE THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER. WITH LABOR, THE ESTIMATE WAS IN EXCESS OF $800. FUEL GAUGE IS NOW INOPERATIVE OR INTERMITTENT. WHEN I FILL THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE READS WAY PAST THE FULL LINE. HAVING TO RELY OF THE FUEL TO EMPTY AND THE FUEL USED COMPUTER INFORMATION ALONG WITH THE TRIP METER TO ESTIMATE FUEL. RECEIVED ANOTHER ESTIMATE FOR A MECHANIC TO PULL THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND REBUILD EACH INDIVIDUAL GAUGE MOTOR FOR AN ESTIMATE OF $500. BASED UPON THE NUMBER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME THING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY GM. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SHOWS EMPTY WHEN VEHICLE IS FILLED UP, THIS LASTS UNTIL CLOSE TO A QUARTER TANK HAS BEEN USED; FREQUENCY: 100% OF THE TIME. CONTACTED PRIOR OWNER AND HE CONFIRMED IT HAD BEEN DOING IT OFF AND ON SINCE 2 YEAR OF OWNERSHIP BUT DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE. TOOK TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD ITS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY YEAR IN PARTICULAR. VEHICLE ALSO IS BEGINNING TO HAVE ISSUES WITH SHOWING CORRECT FUEL LEFT WHEN IT DROPS BELOW A QUARTER TANK, IT DOES NOT DROP CONSISTENTLY WHICH WOULD LEAD TO MY RUNNING OUT OF GAS IF I TRUSTED IT, TO DATE I FILL BEFORE IT GETS TO A QUARTER TANK TO AVOID THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CONCERN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000. UPDATED 08/14/14*LJ UPDATED 8/29/2017*CN

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WAS TOLD GAS SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE COULD HARM ENGINE REC'D NOTIFICATION FROM GM TO REPAIR WOULD ONLY PAY HALF OF THE EXPENSE AFTER 3 MONTHS SAME ISSUE GM WOULD NOT PAY ANYTHING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY SPARE TIRE MOUNTED UNDER VEHICLE DROPPED WAS SWINGING, CABLE THAT HELD TIRE RUSTED AND GAVE WAY. CALLED GM NOT RESPONSIBLE VEHICLE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVYTRAILBLAZER IT JUST TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING, AS SOON AS IT DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON(INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO WERE STILL WORKING). I TRIED A FEW TIMES TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT IT FAILED TO RESTART. 15 MINUTES LATER IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY WORKPLACE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY, BY THE TIME I USED MY VEHICLE AGAIN(ABOUT 3HRS LATER) BOTH ENGINE LIGHTS HAD TURNED OFF. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE TAKE IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE WERE NUMEROUS CODES SHOWING UP ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP IN INDIO, CA (COACHELLA VALLEY BUICK GMC). THEY TOO SAID THAT NUMEROUS CODES WERE COMING UP BUT AFTER 1 1/2 DAYS WITH OUR VEHICLE THEY STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE TOOK IT IN TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND HE PERFORMED THE REPAIR THAT GMC STATED WAS NEEDED. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE REPAIR SHOP I DROVE HOME, AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE IT TURNED OFF, A REPEAT OF THE SAME ISSUE WE WERE HAVING BEFORE REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH. SINCE THIS WAS ON SAT,05-03-2014 WE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE AFTERNOON OF MON, 05/05/2014 TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WE INFORMED THEM THAT WE HAD THEIR RECOMMENDED REPAIR DONE AND THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TURN OFF. THE FOLLOWING DAY THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT WE COULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE. ON THURS., 05/08/2014 THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. 20 MINUTES LATER IT TURNED BACK ON AND HE DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY THEN HAD THE VEHICLE UNTIL 05/12/2014; AGAIN THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS CONTINUED TO REPEAT THIS SAME PROBLEM, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

SIR/ MA'AM, I NOTICED RECENTLY IN THE NEWS THAT SEVERAL GM PRODUCT LINES HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND/OR CUT OUT. I IMPLORE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE TRAILBLAZERS. I EMAILED GM WHILE I WAS DEPLOYED (2012) AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND SAYING THAT IT IS NOT A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, AS EXPECTED. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WOULD SHOW THAT A LOT OF OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS HAVE BAD IGNITION SWITCHES/ ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AT ALL SPEEDS. MY WIFE LOST POWER GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN ALONG WITH HER. THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE, ON ONE OCCASION. GRANTED, I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, IT STILL OCCURS AT RANDOM AND AT ALL SPEEDS. GM TELLS ME TO GO TO A DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I REFUSE TO PAY GM ANY MONEY TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP RIP ME OFF FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS FLAWED AND REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME FAULTY OEM STYLE/MODEL NUMBER. I HAVE RAN A SCAN TOOL LOOKING FOR CODES AND IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY. LIKE STATED PREVIOUSLY, THIS IS ANOTHER LINE OF GM THAT IS PLAGUED WITH IGNITION AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT GM REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF. THE MILEAGE I HAVE ENTERED IS APPROXIMATE. I CANNOT REMEMBER EXACT NUMBERS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS, INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS COASTED TO IT'S FINAL DESTINATION AFTER LOSING POWER, IT STARTS UP AND DRIVES NORMAL AGAIN AFTER IT IS PUT BACK INTO PARK. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, INDICATING A PROBLEM OR NEED OF SERVICING. AGAIN, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PRODUCT LINE AS I KNOW THE RESULT(S) WILL SHOW THAT GM IS LIABLE AND I DON'T WANT ANY FATALITIES BECAUSE NOBODY SPOKE UP ABOUT IT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY PARKS ON 0 MPH NO MATTER WHAT THE SPEED IS. THE FUEL GAUGE RANDOMLY INDICATES "E" OR OTHER INACCURATE FUEL READINGS REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BURNING SMELL WAS EMITTED FROM THE CONTROL MODULE ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE DOOR SHE NOTICED THAT THE WIRES WERE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 180,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AND WILL NOT MOVE. *TR

FIRST MY GAS GAUGE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. AFTER PURCHASING GAS MY GAUGE WOULD WORK SOMETIME. NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. THEN MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER WORKS MOST TIMES BUT AFTER DRIVING A DISTANCE IT DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND STARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES IT STARTS TO WORK AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVYS. MY BROTHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN HIS CHEVY TRUCK. *TR

ON MAY 3, 2014, I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP, AND BEGAN TO EXIT THE GAS STATION. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED LESS GAS IN THE TANK THEN WHEN I BEGAN FUELING. AFTER SEVERAL MILES THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED SLIGHTLY MORE GAS, BUT WAS STILL NOT PROVIDING AN ACCURATE READING. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE I CHECKED THE GAS GAUGE, AND IT WAS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I'VE BEEN REVIEWING ONLINE COMPLAINTS THROUGH THE NHTSA WEBSITE, AND THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. I'M VERY GRATEFUL. I OBSERVED THE PROBLEM BEFORE STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER DANGEROUS LOCATION WITH MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE HEATER LEVELS STARTED TO GO OUT. FIRST 5, THEN 1 UNTIL IT NO LONGER WORKED AT ALL. I GOT IT REPAIRED BUT THE 5TH LEVEL DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE. THE LEFT HALF OF THE RADIO/CD PLAYER NO LONGER LIGHTS UP. MY GAS GAUGE WOULD ONLY REGISTER A QUARTER TANK AND THEN WOULD EVENTUALLY DROPPED TO EMPTY. IT NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. MOST RECENTLY MY SPEEDOMETER WILL OCCASIONALLY QUIT WORKING OR REGISTER THE WRONG SPEED. I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN. ALSO, MY TACHOMETER GOES WAY UP WHEN I BEGIN DRIVING AND THE CAR SEEMS TO REV WAY UP BEFORE IT CHANGES GEARS AND JERKS INTO GEAR. I QUESTIONED A MECHANIC ABOUT THIS, THINKING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH IT ISN'T. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH POWER. I HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD ISSUES WITH THIS TRAILBLAZER EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I ALSO OWNED A BLAZER AT ONE TIME AND ALSO HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY, BUT NEVER AGAIN! *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER I FILL THE TANK WITH FUEL. AFTER DRIVING SOME DURATION OF TIME THE TANK WILL ONLY READ A QUARTER OF A TANK FULL. I FIND THIS TO BE A HAZARD BECAUSE I TRAVEL FOR LONG DISTANCE TRIPS AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET AN ACCURATE READING OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS IN YOUR TANK. I HAVE READ THIS TO BE AN ISSUE ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT WEBSITES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND I BELIEVE THAT GMC SHOULD OFFER TO PAY FULL PRICE AND FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. *JS

DRIVING DOWN MAIN ROAD IN TOWN AND THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE - NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED. I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN WITH ME AND HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE UP THE ROAD TO THE NEAREST TURN IN AND CALL MY HUSBAND FOR HELP. I CONTACT CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 1/2 OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOLD THEM THAT I PAID MY 1/2 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO AVAIL. I HOPE YOUR AGENCY CAN HELP. *TR

TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY. SPEEDOMETER NOW ACTING PROPERLY BUT TACH HAS NEVER FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY SINCE. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF THESE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UNITS THAT ARE FAILING AND EVENTUALLY ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS WITHIN THE CLUSTER ARE LIKELY TO BREAK. IN FACT, A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORCED GENERAL MOTORS TO RECALL/REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ON SILVERADO PICKUPS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHEN I CONTACTED GM ABOUT WORKING WITH ME TO REPLACE THE FAILING CLUSTER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND TO BASICALLY "POUND SAND." WITH SO MANY DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF FAILURE AND GM'S NOW DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF AVOID RECALLS EVEN AT THE COST OF HUMAN LIFE I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR THE NHTSA TO STEP UP AND BRING PRESSURE ON GM TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN REBUFFED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO HAVE THE AUTOMAKER ACCEPT ITS PROPER RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING INADEQUATE OR FAULTY MATERIALS. *TR

SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE APPROX 5 YEARS AGO I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES ABOUT A YEAR LATER. IT STARTED WITH MY SPEED ODOMETER GAUGE STOPPED WORKING THEN OVER THAT FOLLOWING YEAR EVENTUALLY ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. MY BREAK LIGHTS WILL WORK OFF AND ON, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS WORKS OFF AND ON, MY BLOWER STOPS WORKING WHEN EVER IT FEELS, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED MY THROTTLE ON HAS PEDAL NEVER CLOSES SO I AVERAGE 9 MILES PER GALLON IN GAS MILEAGE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DECIDE WHEN TO WORK AND NOT, AND THE LOCKS ON THEIR ON CAUSING ME TO GET LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR AT TIMES. THIS TO ME IS CLEARLY A ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND HAVE SPOKE TO GM BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TRADE THE VEHICLE IN TO GET A SAFER VEHICLE BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS IT. EITHER WAY I WORRY OF THE SAFETY FOR ANYONE IN THIS VEHICLES AND THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE STREETS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 (WE DON'T KNOW EXACT SPEED AS OUR CONTROL PANEL IS NOT WORKING) AND THE STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS HARD PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND A FEW TIMES WE COULD NOT CONTROL IT AND WENT OFF THE ROAD. WE HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT LIKE THAT WHEN WE WERE DRIVING IN THE SNOW. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR WE HAD A FUEL ISSUE THAT COVERED UNDER A RECALL.... NOW OUR WHOLE PANEL IS OUT. WE DON'T KNOW THE SPEED WE ARE GOING, THE OIL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE ALWAYS ON. WE TAKE CARE OF OUR CAR SO WE KNOW ITS NOT LOW ON ANYTHING. *TR

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO "E" AND THE LOW FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. NOW WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK, THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND AFTER I DRIVE ABOUT 20-30 MILES IT WILL MOVE UP TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK BUT NO HIGHER AND SOMETIMES IT WILL STILL MOVE BACK TO EMPTY THAT SLOWLY MOVE BACK UP. ALSO SOMETIMES THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WILL DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE IDLING OR IN PARK AND THE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR WILL APPEAR, BUT AS SOON AS THE GAS IS PRESSED, THE PRESSURE WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO, ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, THE KEYLESS ENTRY/ALARM/BACK LIFTGATE LOCK AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHT ALL STOPPED WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLY A GROUNDING WIRE ISSUE BUT NOT DEFINITIVE. NOW MY LIFTGATE WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. *TR

PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STARTED WITH A SERIES OF ENGINE LIGHTS, MISFIRING AND STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND UPON ACCELERATION. MY THERMOSTAT HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES . I DO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO KEEP MY CAR IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. I'M A SINGLE PARENT I NEED MY CAR. MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD STOPPED WORKING AFTER GETTING STUCK ON AND OFF. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS LAST TO GO 3 DAYS AGO. I FILL UP MY TANK IT STILL READS EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT. MY TAILGATE DOOR THE LATCH LOCKS UP. I MANUALLY HAVE TO MOVE TO LATCH SO IT CLOSES. MY DOORS STICKING WHEN THE CAR IS UNLOCKED AND IT HARD TO GET OUT THE LOCKS DON'T UNLATCH THE FIRST TIME. MY CAR IS VERY NICE UNTIL U GET IN IT TO SEE EVERYTHING IS MALFUNCTIONING. I GUESS MY SPEED, GAS LEVEL AND THAT'S NOT COOL. I BEEN GOING THROUGH THESE SAME PROBLEMS SINCE 2011 AND IT'S 2014. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS THE LAST TO GO RECENTLY. WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK IT STILL READS EMPTY WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT. MY REPAIR WAS $565 WE THOUGHT IT WAS EXHAUST LEAK AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MANIFOLD IT WAS CRACKED... I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING ELSE AND I NEED TIRES.PLEASE HELP I'M FURIOUS. . WHEN YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO LAST. THAT DOESN'T. MY MECHANICS HAVE BEEN THE SAME SINCE DAY ONE AND HAVE GIVEN ME EVERY DISCOUNT AND WARRANTY . I WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED I CAN'T PHYSICALLY CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE . IT'S INTERNAL AND NOT MY FAULT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS TEMPERAMENT . I HAVE HAD 4 CARS PREVIOUS TO THIS ONE AND THEY LASTED THROUGH THE YEARS UNTIL I DECIDED TO CHANGE CARS. EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLE AS I DO . HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? MANUFACTURERS SHOULD VALUE QUALITY NOT QUANTITY. I HAVE EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT TO VERIFY THIS AS WELL AS MY MECHANICS. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AND TO BE REIMBURSED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WE NOTICED THE WE WERE BEING PASSED EXCESSIVELY, WE LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND SAW THAT WE WERE DOING SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. OUT OF CURIOSITY WE CHECKED OUR SPEED AGAINST OUR GPS / SMART PHONE AND SAW THAT WE WERE DOING 30 MPH UNDER THE SPEED BEING REPORTED BY OUR SPEEDOMETER. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET WE FOUND THAT 100'S IF NOT 1000'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OR EVEN SOMETIMES IN REVERSE WHERE IT STATES THAT THEY ARE DOING 120 MPH WHEN THEY ARE ONLY DOING A FRACTION OF THAT. IN ADDITION WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS SAME PART ON OTHER GM VEHICLES FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON BUT THE TRAILBLAZER WAS EXCLUDED FOR WHATEVER REASON. HOW CAN NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOUR ACTUALLY GOING NOT BE A MAJOR HAZARD ESPECIALLY WITH A PROVEN HISTORY OF FAILURES. *TR

DASH LIGHTS COME ON ALL THE TIME .HAD IT IN TO LOCAL DEALER .WE HAVE TOOK IT IN ALL THE TIME THEY HAVE REPLACE EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO FIND PROBLEM.STILL DIDN'T FIX IT. WARRANTED RUN OUT.EVEN TOOK IN AND PD FOR OURSELVES STILL NOT FIXED LIGHTS COME ON NOW AND STAY ON.CAN'T KEEP TAKING IN DON'T HAVE MONEY TO TAKE IN. *TR

STARTING UP MY CAR LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING,I WENT TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE WAS A HESITATION THEN IT STOPPED AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING.FROM THAT POINT FORWARD I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN OR UP AND LOST ALL FUNCTIONS FROM THAT CONTACT PAD....IN LOOKING THRU THE VARIES RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE IN 2006,2007. IF THIS RECALL INITIATED WITH THE 2005 TRAILBLAZER IN 08/12, WHY IS THIS MODEL NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???? WHY WILL I HAVE TO PAY THE $400 IN REPAIRS SOMEHOW THIS DOESN'T SEEM ETHICAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING IN THE 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER...I AM SURE I AM PREACHING TO THE CHOIR BUT MAYBE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH INCITE AS TO THE LOGIC!!!!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND VEERED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED FACE, BACK, AND NECK INJURIES. THE DRIVER OF THE SECOND VEHICLE WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MULTIPLE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THEY INCLUDE: FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, VOLTMETER, AND TACHOMETER. THE FIRST TO GO OUT WAS THE FUEL GAUGE. THEN SPEEDOMETER, FOLLOWED BY THE VOLTMETER AND THE TACHOMETER ABOUT THE SAME TIME. CHEVY HAS FIXED THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE BY RECALL. BUT HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE OTHER GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

MY TRAILBLAZER 2005 WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 25 TO 30 MILES, THEN MY ENGINE WOULD JUST TURN OFF WITH OUT ANY WARNING, AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WHEN AM IN THE HIGHWAYS GOING 60 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY I SEEN THAT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE THAT HAS HAPPENED TO AND EVEN THE FUEL PUMP HAS GAVE UP WITH OUT NO ANSWER, THE GM OR CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IT WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL IF YOU GUYS LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT ON THIS MALFUNCTION. I REALLY APPRECIATE FOR TAKING YOUR TIME. SINCERELY, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER DRIVER *TR

BRAKES LINES HAVE SEVERE CORROSION AND ARE LEAKING FLUID AND WILL ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINY STATE WITH THE DRIVER'S WINDOW PARTIALLY CRACKED. WATER BEGAN DRIPPING IN ONTO THE DRIVER WINDOW CONTROL PANEL, SO I CLOSED THE WINDOW. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WENT TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORKED. THERE WAS A FAINT ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. ALL FOUR WINDOW CONTROLS ON THE PANEL WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE HEATED SEAT BUTTONS. THE DOOR LOCK STILL FUNCTIONED AS WELL AS THE WINDOW LOCK OUT BUTTON. I'M JUST GLAD THIS HAPPENED WITH THE WINDOW UP. SWAPPING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL ALLOWS YOU TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOW, SO IT IS THE CONTROL PANEL THAT IS DEFECTIVE. I SEE THAT THE 2006 AND 2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS DUE TO FIRES, BUT NO RECALL EXISTS FOR THE 2005 FIRES AS FIRES HAVEN'T BEEN REPORTED YET. *TR

SATURDAY NIGHT (03/1/14) ON OUR WAY HOME IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY, THE VISIBILITY WAS LOW AND OUR WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP AND THE FRONT HEATER BLOWER WENT OFF ON OUR 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. WHILE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER WE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T SEE THROUGH OUR FOGGED UP WINDOWS.. AFTER WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF THE BLOWER MOTOR CAME ON AND CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, SO WE RE-STARTED THE CAR, AND THE BLOWER WENT OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON... THEN TODAY I WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AND THE BLOWER CAME ON. I DROVE TO THE STORE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN SO I RE-STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED. WHEN I RE-ENTERED THE CAR TO GO HOME THE BLOWER ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ANY SPEED. SO I FIGURED IF I DIDN'T HAVE HEAT AT LEAST I HAD A HEATED SEAT BUT AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINS THE SEAT PART OF THE SEAT GOT SO HOT IT WAS BURNING MY BUTT AND THIGHS SO I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF. THEN ABOUT 1/2 HOME THE BLOWER JUST STARTED BLOWING AGAIN, I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE AGAIN CONTINUED TO RUN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SO AGAIN I PUT THE KEY IN STARTED THE CAR THEN TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND THE MOTOR STOPPED. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD/WINDOWS IN THESE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS< PLUS NOT HAVING HEAT IN BELOW ZERO TEMPS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AS WELL. ( SINCE WE LIVE IN SUCH A COLD SNOWY STATE). *TR

I HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE AND DASH READING FOR YEARS NOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH JUST MY TRUCK BUT IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS AS THERE IS AN ISSUE. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW AND CURRENTLY HAVE 178,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BYTHE DEALER THAT THE GAS GAUGE ISSUE WOULD NOT BE COVERED AS IT'S 10 YEARS OR 120,000 WHICH EVERY CAME FIRST. MY DASH BOARD HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR SOME TIME FIRST IT WAS THE SPEEDOMETER AND THEN THE OIL AND OTHER'S COMPONENTS SOON FOLLOWED. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE YESTERDAY FROM A DEALERSHIP. THEY FILLED THE GAS TANK UP BEFORE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT BECAUSE, THEY SAID, "THE GAS GAUGE ISN'T WORKING." I WAS LOOKING UP WHAT IT COULD BE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH COMPLAINTS OF THIS, 668 PEOPLE. I SUPPOSE I'M THE 669TH PERSON. THERE WASN'T A RECALL THAT I COULD FIND, BUT INVESTIGATIONS WERE BEING DONE? *TR

I HAVE AFTER MARKET SEATS IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, I'VE SEEN A RECALL ON YOUR SITE SO I CALLED GM AND THEY RAN MY VIN TO CHECK IF IT INVOLVES MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY STATE IT DOESN'T INVOLVE MINE. I HAVE STATED THAT MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON "BLINKING" AND I DO HAVE THE LEATHER SEATS. THIS IS THE WEBSITE WITH THE CLOTH SEATS.... HTTP://WWW.MOTORTREND.COM/CARS/2005/CHEVROLET/TRAILBLAZER/PHOTOS/INTERIOR/COCKPIT.HTML AND HERE IS THE RECALL FROM YOUR SITE HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHRESULTS.ACTION?SEARCHTYPE=PROD&PRODTYPE=V&TARGETCATEGORY=A&ACTIVETAB=0&SEARCHCRITERIA.MODEL_YR=2005&SEARCHCRITERIA.MAKE=CHEVROLET&SEARCHCRITERIA.MODEL=TRAILBLAZER&SEARCHCRITERIA.PROD_IDS=204821 REPORT RECEIPT DATE: OCT 31, 2006 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V417000. *TR

VEHICLE'S HEADLAMPS WILL POWER SURGE, DIM WHILE DRIVING PERIODICALLY. FUEL SENSOR SHOWED CONSTANT EMPTY UNTIL REPAIRED BY THE RECALL. VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY SURGE FORWARD REVVING ON IT'S OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. THE BLOWER RESISTOR PACK HAS BURNT UP TWICE, THE BLOWER MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE MELTED WIRES.NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS, RADIO, DOME LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. SEEMS LIKE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR

DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA THE ENGINE WOULD SERGE BETWEEN 2K RPM AND 4K RPM. IF SURGING IS ALLOWED TO PERSIST THEN IT IS FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING SHUT OFF ULTIMATELY ENDING IN THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. AFTER VEHICLE IS RESTARTED THE CYCLE STARTS AGAIN AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF DRIVING. *TR

FUEL GAUGE PEGGED OUT PAST FULL THEN RETURNED TO EMPTY. IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECT SINCE. MECHANICS I HAVE TALKED TO SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM. I NOTICED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 600 COMPLAINTS FILED. THIS COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM AND COULD POSSIBLY BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD TO FAMILIES. SUPPOSE YOU RUN OUT OF FUEL GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH AND YOU RUN OUT OF FUEL AND CAN'T GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY REAR-END YOU BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET OVER. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE FIXED AT GM'S COST. *TR

WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON I-94 NEAR MILE MARKER 12 IN MICHIGAN, THE REAR AXLE BROKE, MAKING THE CAR INOPERABLE. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. *TR

FIRST SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. READS "0" ALL THE TIME. THEN THE GAS GAUGE QUITE WORKING. READS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THEN THE OIL GAUGE ALSO QUIT WORKING. THIS HAPPENED ALL WITHIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO THE SHORE MY SPEEDOMETER INCREASED TO 95 MPH. WHEN WE PARKED IT WAS STUCK ON 10. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. WHEN I PARK I HAVE TO CHECK WHAT IT STOPS AT. SOMETIMES, ITS 10, 20, 30, ETC. I HAVE TRIED DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND THAT HELPS AS A TEMP FIX. MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT I SAW ONLINE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM, BUT NOT FOR TRAILBLAZERS. THIS IS A GM ISSUE AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. UPDATED 03/11/14

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I SLOWED DOWN & STOPPED FOR AN ACCIDENT AHEAD OF ME. I DID NOT SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND I DID NOT GO OVER ANY BUMPS THAT WOULD JAR THE VEHICLE. I WAS STOPPED FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. WHEN I BEGAN ACCELERATING I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NO LONGER ACCURATELY READING MY SPEED. I WAS DOING AROUND 50 MPH, BUT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 22 MPH. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF ONCE I GOT HOME, THEN RESTARTING IT, BUT IT WAS STILL READING 22 MPH. WHEN I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY, IT STARTED OUT READING 10 MPH, AND HAS VARIED SINCE THEN, BUT STILL NOT READING ACCURATELY. *TR

I WENT INTO TOWN TO GRAB DINNER AND AS I AM DRIVING ALONG, MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINED ON, WERE THE ORANGE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS. I FRANTICALLY TURNED THE HEADLIGHT KNOB ON AN OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, HOWEVER IT WAS NIGHT TIME AND I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I ENDED UP PULLING OVER TO THE GRAVEL SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. NOW I AM STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TIME, WITH NO WORKING HEADLIGHTS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT, TAPPED THE HEADLIGHTS AND LOOKED FOR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER. UPON STARTING THE CAR AGAIN, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TURNED ON A VACUUM CLEANER. THE NOISE PITCHED UP FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE PITCHING BACK DOWN. AFTER RE-STARTING THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MOVED FROM ITS NORMAL POSITION AT "12 O'CLOCK" TO AN ABNORMAL "6 O'CLOCK". I TRIED TO CALL ONSTAR FOR A VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC, HOWEVER NOW MY RADIO WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. I TRIED THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN, AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT TURN ON. I TURNED ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND PROCEEDED BACK HOME. WHILE EN ROUTE MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 10MPH OVER MY ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 10MPH. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE AS A COINCIDENCE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE AT NIGHT, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO MONITOR MY SPEED ALL WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE MOTORISTS WHO WERE BLINDED BY MY HIGH BEAMS ON THE WAY BACK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. IT WORKS WHEN YOU START THE CAR, THEN WHEN STOPS ARE MADE, IT STOPS WORKING ALTOGETHER AND GOES TO ZERO. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS FAULTY PART YEARS AGO. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED THE SERVICE PLACE SAID IT WAS A CLUSTER THAT WOULD COST OVER $500 TO GET FIXED. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF TS CUSTOMERS. *TR

MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER STARTED EXPERIENCING FALSE READINGS ON THE SPEEDOMETER AROUND 96,000 MILES. AT FIRST IT WAS OFF BY 5-10 MPH THEN IT WOULD CORRECT IT'S SELF. NEXT THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STARTED WITH FALSE READINGS BOTH HIGH, THEN LOW, NEITHER ACCURATE. NOW IT IS AT A POINT WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER READING ACCURATE SPEED AND IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF EVER RE-CORRECTING IT'S SELF AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AS WELL AS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BOTH MALFUNCTION ON A DAILY BASIS IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVY TRUCKS IN THIS CLASS YET THE TRAILBLAZER IS THE ONLY MODEL IN THE CLASS TO NOT BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IF A PRODUCT IS FAULTY BY THE MANUFACTURERS STANDARD IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. *TR

AFTER FILING THE GAS TANK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY WITHIN MINUTES OF LEAVING THE GAS STATION. IT HAS CONTINUED TO BE MALFUNCTIONING LIKE THIS OFF AND ON OVER THE LAST MONTH. *TR I HAVE HEARD OF 2 OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW, WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A RECURRING PROBLEM NATIONWIDE WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE? *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULD READ THE WRONG MPH AND START TO BOUNCE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT STARTED IT JUST WASN'T WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND NOW DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. *TR

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN OCT 2010. NOT LONG THEREAFTER, NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T WORK ALL THE TIME - NORMALLY IT WORKS WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WARMS UP, IT STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DOESN'T WORK ONCE IN A WHILE. MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES, BUT OCCASIONALLY I CAN'T GET IT TO GO ON AT ALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000. UPDATED 11/29/13*LJ

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING THEN ALL THE OTHER GAUGES OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY THEN PERMANENTLY STOPPED WORKING. ASIDE FROM THE BATTERY GAUGE, THE LEAST IMPORTANT OF THEM ALL. *TR

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT(AND DURING THE DAY), WITHIN (15-20 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE) MY HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND DO NOT COME BACK ON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I USUALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME(15-60 MINUTES). THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND I CAN NOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT THIS POSES A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

IN 2007 WE HAD INSTALLED AN INTERNAL IGNITION SWITCH THEN AGAIN IN 2010 AND NOW AGAIN 2013. THE CAR WOULD JUST STOP AND NOTHING WOULD COME ON. THIS IS WHAT IS INSTALLED EACH TIME IT IS DONE, INSTALLED 15242754 SL-N-SWITCH INSTALLED 12177251 SL-N-FUSE

FIRST, FUEL GAUGE, THEN THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. *JB

PLEASE CONSIDER A NEW REQUIREMENT FOR ALL NEW VEHICLES PRODUCED THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A REAR LIFTGATE/TAILGATE, SUCH AS CROSSOVERS, SUV'S AND MINI-VANS. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE GATE FROM THE INSIDE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A LATCH TO OPEN ALL GATES FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN CASE IT BECOMES THE ONLY WAY OUT IN CASE OF FIRE OR IF SINKING IN WATER. *TR

THE WINDOW AND LOCK CONTROLS ON THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE JUST STOPPED WORKING LEAVING MY WINDOW OPEN. IT IS NOT A FUSE. I BEGAN LOOKING FOR OTHER ISSUES ONLINE AND HAVE COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE ON EARLIER MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. I AM IN A COLD CLIMATE AS THE OTHER RECALL IS APPLICABLE TO. *TR

MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR ALL SEASON TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT CRACKING ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE ON THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE TREAD. TIRES WERE 2 YEARS OLD. SOME SUPERFICIAL CRACKS OTHERS WERE DEEP AND WIDE. 65,000 MILE WARRANTY, ONLY 25,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. SIZE P245/65R17 105T ORWL. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SAYS EMPTY NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL YOU PUT IN ALSO ABS/BRAKE SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DURING SUMMER TIME AND MY FUEL GAGE WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY FOR NO REASON. I HAD JUST FILLED UP, SO I KNEW THERE WAS GAS IN THE TANK. IT HAS SINCE GIVEN ME RANDOM READINGS. IF I LET THE GAS LEVEL FALL BELOW 3/4 OF A TANK. IT WILL GO TO EMPTY EVEN IF I FILLED THE TANK. IT DOES WORK RANDOMLY SOMETIMES. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING ONE DAY, AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL SAY I'M GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ITS DROPS TO 0 MPH, OR SAY I'M DRIVING 30 MPH. MY SPEEDOMETER IS NEVER ACCURATE. I WENT HAD IT CHECKED WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALER SHIP AND THEY STATED I NEED A NEW SPEED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT WOULD COST ME $518.00 JUST FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL ON 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

SPEEDOMETER/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAVE FAILED/STOPPED WORKING. THE GAUGE BEGAN TICKING WHILE BEING OPERATED; SHOWING INCREASED, BUT NOT ACCURATE SPEED. NOW THE GAUGE STAYS AT 180 MPH AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. *TR

THE GAS HAND DOES NOT WORK. $50+ DOLLARS IS PUT IN AT THE GAS STATION, THEN THE GAS LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD IT, BUT IT IS REALLY A SAFETY CONCERN. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON LINE RECENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. *TR

DRIVER SIDE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH DOES NOT WORK THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AT ALL! OUT OF THE BLUE THIS STOPPED WORKING. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE 2006-2007 MODELS WERE RECALLED NOT THE 2005! REALLY, THIS CAR IS "CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE WHICH USES SALT TO CLEAR THE ROADS" (DIRECT QUOTE FROM GENERAL MOTORS AND ISUZU RECALL 258,000 SUVS, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, AUGUST 19, 2012) SINCE 12/2005 WHICH IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FIRE "YET" BUT I HAVE THE "EXACT" PROBLEM WHICH AROSE BEFORE THESE VEHICLES DID CATCH FIRE, MINE IS NOT RECALLED? NOT ONLY WAS THE TRANSMISSION RECALLED IN 2008, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE "BLOWER MOTOR" NOT WORKING WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEAT. YOU COULD ONLY TURN ON THE HEAT TO NO. 4. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE ON 1/10/06, 1/30/06, 2/7/06 AND 2/17/06 WHICH WAS NOT EVEN 2 MO. AFTER PURCHASING SAID VEHICLE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. IN 11/06 THE "FUEL PUMP MODULE" WAS REPLACED AND COVERED "ONLY" BECAUSE I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY THE $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE, BECAUSE I HAD GAS BUT IT WAS NOT REGISTERING. AGAIN, I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN CALLING GM ON 7/24/13 ABOUT THE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL, I NOW FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" FOR THE "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR". THIS IS COVERED UNTIL 7/24/14, PER GM (866-694-6546), UNLESS YOU HAVE MORE THAN 120,000 SOMETHING MILES. WAS NOT SURE OF THE MILEAGE EXACTLY SINCE MINE IS BELOW THAT FIGURE. THE WINDOW SWITCH IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN "ALL YEARS" OF THIS VEHICLE. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST REV UP AND WANT TO TAKE OFF. I GUESS THIS ISN'T A "BIG DEAL" EITHER. YOU CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE RADIO TO DISTRACT YOU WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS GOING ON BECAUSE THE RADIO ONLY COMES OUT OF "ONE" SPEAKER! GO FIGURE, IT IS GM! *TR

CLUSTER WENT OUT AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

GAS TANK IS BROKE AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. FROM WHAT MY MECHANIC SAID THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. WE HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR MILEAGE CONSTANTLY SO WE WON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY SHOW THE RIGHT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE CAR. FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TANK IS FULL. FUEL GAUGE SHOWS FULL TANK WHEN EMPTY. THIS HAS CAUSED TWO CASES O CAR BREAKING DOWN AND BEING STRANDED. ONE INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED CAR TO BE REAR ENDED ON BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

IN THE BEGINNING THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO HIGHEST SPEED IMMEDIATELY UPON CRANKING VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MONTHS OR QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THE GAS GAGE QUIT WORKING A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT. THEN AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER ALL OTHER GAUGES QUIT WORKING EXCEPT RPM GAGE. THAT IS ONLY FUNCTIONING GAGE ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SAYS ITS EMPTY BUT I HAVE GAS. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. *TR

I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2011. I STOPPED AFTER GETTING PAID ON A FRIDAY TO FILL UP MY TANK AND WHEN I GO TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE THE GAUGE GOES TO FULL AND JUST DROPS ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY. SINCE THAN I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE STREETS DOZENS OF TIME. I TRIED USING MY TRIP BUT MY MPH AREN'T ALWAYS ACCURATE I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY GALLONS MY TANK HOLDS. BEING STRANDED FOR AWHILE WITH MY CHILDREN IS REALLY TOUGH. I CAN'T JUST AFFORD TO PAY OVER $500 TO HAVE MY PROBLEM FIXED JUST BECAUSE GM WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS SPORADICALLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHOWS GAUGE LIGHT AS EMPTY EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN MIDDLE OFF ROAD ON EARLY MORNING TRAFFIC. NOW WE HAVE TO ESTIMATE MILEAGE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT LEFT WITHOUT GAS, VERY FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. *TR

GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. SHOWS AS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AS YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO FILL UP TO COUNT THE MILES. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO LETTING ME KNOW THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL COVER 50% OF THE COST OF GETTING IT FIX. BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY AT ALL? IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY AT ALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ODOMETER AND FUEL LEVEL GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE CLUSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TR

RAN OUT OF FUEL ONCE ON HIGHWAY, WHEN GAUGE SHOWED TANK WAS FULL. IN JAN/FEB THE GAS GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING EVEN WHEN COMPLETELY FULL OF FUEL IT WILL SHOW ONLY 1/4 OF A TANK OR NONE AT ALL. THE RADIO WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY WILL WORK THEN STOP WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. HEADLIGHTS ARE ALWAYS BURNING THEIR CONNECTION, SHORT CIRCUITING MY HEADLIGHTS PRETTY FREQUENTLY. *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY, LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER A FULL TANK OF GAS. *TR

FUEL SENSOR SEEMS TO BE FAILING AS IS WITH MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS CAR INCLUDING A BROKEN SPEEDOMETER AT 60,000 MILES. THIS CAR SEEMS TO HAVE FAR TOO MANY SENSOR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND GIVEN THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF SPEEDOMETERS THAT SUDDENLY FAIL AND FUEL SENSORS THAT FAIL, IT WOULD SEEM PRUDENT FOR SOMEONE TO REALIZE THAT THESE ISSUES POSE A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, SPEEDOMETERS AND FUEL SENSORS SEEM TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH TRAILBLAZERS. PLEASE RESEARCH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SENSORS MORE CLOSELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT RAINED THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WATER ENTERED THE DOOR AND CAUSED A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT ONCE IT DRIED OUT THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IT APPEARS THAT MY HEADLIGHTS ARE RECEIVING A SURGE OF POWER WHICH CAUSES THEM TO BLINK AS IF I AM FLASHING MY HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. SINCE THIS HAS STARTED I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS ABOUT EVERY 6 TO 8 MONTHS. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I REPLACED THE SAME HEADLIGHT MY MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE FUSE AND STATED THAT IT SEEMS THERE IS A SURGE OF POWER THAT CAUSES THE FUSES TO BLOW. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT MY HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BLINK ON THEIR OWN EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WE DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MID 2000 MODEL TRAILBLAZERS. I CONTACTED GM TO MAKE THEM AWARE WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A, "SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE". I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY DOOR ELECTRONICS. YOU CAN HEAR THE POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AS IF THEY ARE BEING ENGAGED WITHOUT BEING OPERATED. THE SPEAKERS IN THE DOORS DO NOT WORK AFTER IT RAINS OR IN VERY HUMID CONDITIONS. THE POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCK BUTTON LIGHTS WORK ON AND OFF AND BLINK. THE DOOR/KEY CHIME RARELY WORKS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS MODEL. I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL STARTING WITH 2006 MODELS WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I REALLY BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ISOLATED TO THE ELECTRONICS IN THE DOOR, BUT THE OVERALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS CONSIDER AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL INTO THE FULL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE AS IT COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD RISKING FIRE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE FUEL SENSOR READ EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT WAS ON. ALSO, WHIEL DRIVING THE FUEL SENSOR WOULD JUMP AROUND SHOWING EMPTY, FULL AND THE GAS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE VEHCILE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP INIDCATED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENSOR AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE MENTIONED THAT I WAS LUCKY THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE REPAIR WAS VERY COSTLY. MY VEHICLE OCCASSIONALY LURCHES WHEN IT PUT INOT GEAR FROM BEING PARKED OR IDLE AS IF IT WANTS TO JUST TAKE OFF RIGHT AWAY. I CONTACTED GM ON THIS AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM. ANOTHER ISSUDE I HAVE HAD WAS MY SPEEDOMETER AND ENTIRE DASH CLUSTER FAILING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO OVER 100 MPH AND THEN BACK DOWN TO 0. AT THAT POINT IT STOPPED WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. FINALLY IT STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE ENITRE CLUSTER PANEL WHICH COST ME AROUND $800.00. AGAIN, HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I SENT GM A LETTER WITH A COPY OF THE REPAIR BILL ALONG WITH DOCUMENTATION OF THE MANY COMPLAINTS I FOUND ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HEARD NOTHING. I REACHED OUT WITH A PHONE CALL AND WAS TOLD THE ISSUE DID NOT WARRANT A RECALL. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL AS IT APPERAS THIS VEHICLE WAS JUST POORLY MADE AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN FULL, OR PARTIALLY FULL, I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE SO, I HAVE TO GUESTIMATE OR COUNT MILES, MY OIL PRESSURE IS THE SAME. I AM AMAZED THIS HASN'T CAUSED A MASS RECALL SO FAR AS I HAVE READ THROUGH SOME OF THE PAGES OF COMPLAINTS AND ITS LITTERED WITH THE SAME THING. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED FEB. 2012 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING, BUT ISSUES. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. STAYS ON (E) EMPTY, EVEN AFTER FILLING UP. CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. MUST KEEP TRACK OF MILES DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS TO ENSURE OF NOT RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN DRIVING. DANGEROUS AND VERY UNSAFE. *TR

LOWERED THE DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW & IT DIDN'T GO BACK UP. OPENED & CLOSED DOOR & TRIED BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES, THEN IT WENT UP. UNSURE OF BURN SMELL AS I WAS ON HIGHWAY. CHECKED AGAIN WHILE STATIONARY & WINDOW BUTTON NON FUNCTIONAL. NOTED THAT INTERIOR DOME LIGHT DID NOT LIGHT WHEN DOOR OPENED & ALL POWER BUTTONS IN DRIVER'S DOOR (WINDOWS, LOCKS, MIRRORS) RENDERED NON-FUNCTIONAL. ALSO NOTED THAT THIS DOOR DOES NOT RESPOND TO REMOTE KEYFOB FOR LOCK/UNLOCK, AND DOOR BY-PASSES ALARM SYSTEM. ALARM CAN BE SET, DOOR OPENED WITH KEY AND ALARM WILL ONLY TRIGGER WHEN KEY IS PUT INTO IGNITION, BUT UNARMS WHEN IGNITION CRANKS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT HAS A KEY LOCK MECHANISM. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE RELIES ON REMOTE OR DOOR SWITCHES. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER I OPENED THE DOOR (AS I COULD NOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN) AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT LIT, SO I TRIED THE POWER LOCK BUTTON AND IT WORKED. TWICE. THE ENTIRE DOOR AGAIN WENT DEAD/NON-RESPONSIVE. WITHOUT WINDOW ACCESS, THE DOOR MUST BE OPENED ON HIGHWAYS WITH TOLL BOOTHS. THE LACK OF INTERIOR LIGHT, INABILITY TO READILY ACCESS THE DOOR LOCKS, AND THE ALARM BY-PASS CREATES A SECURITY ISSUE. THE INABILITY TO ADJUST THE MIRRORS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE WINDOW CANNOT BE LOWERED.THE DRIVER'S DOOR NO LONGER LOCKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE. THE SCARIEST THING IS THAT THE CONTROLS SIMPLY STOPPED. WHY? A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM IS A VERY LOGICAL POSSIBILITY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE RANDOM FUNCTIONING JUST A YEAR LATER. I HAVE NOTED MULTIPLE ISSUES ON REPAIR SITES REFERENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH 2005 TRAILBLAZERS, AND AS OF TODAY (6/15/13) SAW A RECALL FOR A SHORT IN THE DOOR FOR 2006/7 TRAILBLAZERS. IF THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING WITH OTHER YEARS, WOULDN'T IT FOLLOW THAT IT WAS A FLAW THAT SHOULD BE REVIEWED IN ALL TRAILBLAZERS OF THE SAME BODY STYLING? *TR

BLOWERS (DEFROST/DEFOG ~ HEAT A/C) INTERMITTENTLY WORK. DIAL GOES FROM 1-5 AND TODAY IF EITHER BLOWER LEVEL #2 AND #5 IS SELECTED, BLOWER WILL CUT OFF. LAST MONTH IT WAS #1 AND SOMETIMES #5. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER TELLS THE SPEED PLUS OR MINUS 40MPH. MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS STUCK AT AROUND 210PSI. TODAY, I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL TANK NOW READS 150% FULL, AND THE VOLTAGE IS DOWN TO 9V. THIS IS ALL DUE TO A DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT GM HAD A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED ON SEVERAL OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES, BUT DENIED THE TRAILBLAZER, DUE TO LACK OF COMPLAINTS. CONSIDER THIS A COMPLAINT. UNDOUBTEDLY, GM IS HOPING THE MILEAGE RUNS OVER 70,000 SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST PART OF THEIR DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP. CONSIDER HOW MANY TRAILBLAZERS ARE ZIPPING DOWN THE ROAD, UNAWARE OF THIS DEFECT... PERHAPS GOING ONLY 10-20 MPH OVER THE LIMIT. LACK OF COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA IS A POOR EXCUSE TO NOT RECALL, FIX AND/OR VERIFY THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS NOT AN ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY USING A GPS SMARTPHONE AS A SPEEDOMETER, BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT IS LESS ACCURATE THAN IDEAL. A YOUNG FRIEND HOUSESITTING MY DOG DROVE MY CAR ONCE, ON A BAD SNOW DAY, AND GOT A SPEEDING TICKET, AS HE WAS UNAWARE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED. I SUGGEST GM BE MADE TO FIX IT. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY WHEN CAR IS FILLED AND THE NEEDLE ONLY MOVES A LITTLE..I NEVER CAN TELL HOW MUCH GAS THERE IS. *TR

I FILLED UP MY CAR AND THE FUEL INDICATOR WENT TO EMPTY. NOW, SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS SOME FUEL BUT NOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE. IT USUALLY STAYS ON E. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MOST TRAILBLAZERS. THE WHEEL HUBS AND BEARINGS HAVE ALSO WENT GONE SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE PARTS PLACE SAYS THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER FILLING TANK, WON'T RESET ITSELF AFTER FUELING. BACK HATCH LOCK IS STUCK IN LOCK AND HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. SOMETIME WHEN YOUR SETTING STILL AT A RED LIGHT OR JUST GOING SLOW IN TRAFFIC, THERE SEEMS TO BE A "SURGE" OF POWER OR FUEL TO WHERE THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OR DIM ON THERE OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE LIFT GATE REVEL MOLDING WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING, POWER TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR DECK MOLDING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 166,324. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

EVEN IF THIS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED IT SADLY AS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CHEVY DOES NOT WANT TO COME TO TERMS WITH. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES OUT AND IN AND READS INCORRECTLY AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE GAUGES AT RANDOM POINTS IN TIME. THE HEATING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACES AND THE ALTERNATOR CONSISTENTLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVEN WHEN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR IS MAINTAINED. IT IS A CONSISTENT STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING EVEN IF IT IS NOT ON HIGH MILES AND IT IS A SAD PRODUCT FOR CHEVY. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATE THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL GAUGE STARTING ACTING ERRATIC WAS IN 2007. THE DEALER INFORMED HIS WIFE, THE VEHICLE HAD RAN OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE CONSUMER STATED HE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE AN ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE FUEL PUMP AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LATEST PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS WAS THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SUSTAIN AN IDLE, BECAUSE OF THE ERRATIC FUEL PRESSURE (FUEL PUMP). THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS INOPERATIVE.

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM TO TRAILBLAZERS THAT GM IS IGNORING. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. SO I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

TODAY DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH IN MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. WE HEARD A LOUD CLACKING NOISE. AS I TURN AROUND I SEE THE LARGE PLASTIC PIECE OF THE TAILGATE FLY OFF AND THE 3RD TAILLIGHT JUST DANGLING. IN MY SEARCH TONIGHT I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION I AM NOT THE ONLY TRAILBLAZER OWNER WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FILLED UP GAS TANK ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS READING EMPTY. FLUCTUATED BETWEEN EMPTY AND 1/4 TANK. RAN OUT OF GAS WITH CHILDREN IN VEHICLE AT ONE POINT IN VERY BAD WEATHER. FINALLY ABLE TO SAVE $450.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED. IS IT TRUE THAT GM WILL PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR BILL? VERY UPSET WITH GENERAL MOTORS!! *TR

THE FUEL GUAGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READ INACCURATELY NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND/OR THE COMPUTER CHIP THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER OFFERED TO COVER HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLLY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. SPEED PRESENTED BY GAUGE WAS INCREDIBLY INACCURATE. RATE OF SPEED WAS 20-30 MPH FASTER. FINALLY A TOTAL "LOCK-UP" OF INSTRUMENT. AT A STAND STILL GAUGE REPORTED 60MPH. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. REFUSED TO REPAIR. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWED THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF FAILURES OF SPEEDOMETERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND OR CRASHED BECAUSE RATE OF SPEED WAS INACCURATE?? *TR

PURCHASED 11/24/2008 ~20K MILES. WITHIN 5MONTHS A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES STARTED, THE 1ST BEING THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING BY SHOWING FULL & ACTUALLY NOT (RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE) AND THEN SHOWING EMPTY AFTER FILLUP. 1WEEK LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. ~ ONE YEAR LATER, DEC 2009 THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATED FROM WORKING PROPERLY TO ~50-55MPH BASE INSTEAD OF 0. AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE SPEEDOMETER DID ZERO-OUT BUT THEN DID NOT SHOW ANY SPEED BUT STAYED AT 0. ALONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE ARE THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING SPORADICALLY. ALL OF THE ISSUES HAVE CONTINUED ON-OFF SINCE. MARCH 2012 THE WINDSHIELD RESERVOIR STARTED LEAKING/CRACKED. FEBRUARY 2013 HAD TUNEUP, BRAKES, AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED AND SINCE THEN ADD FRONT VENTS STOPPED WORKING PLUS SEVERE, SPORADIC, HIGH IDLE - DRIVING TO WORK (METROPOLITAN, DOWNTOWN, CAPITAL OF STATE-HIGH RUSH HOUR) THE HIGH REV STARTED AND ALL I WANTED WAS TO GET TO WORKPLACE PARKING LOT ~2MILES. 2BLCKS FR PKG LOT, I WAS BRAKING AT A LEFT, DBLTURN LIGHT WITH THE REV & BRAKES GRABBINGH/COUNTERACTING. I COME TO A FULL STOP BUT MY SUV REVS TO OVER 3RPMS & I THOUGHT THE TRBLZR WOULD BREAK FREE & CRASH INTO THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME! I HAVE A "CHRISTINE" CAR AND HATE THE FEELING OF DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT CHEVY WON'T RECALL/FIX AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE CURRENTLY OR GET ALL THESE ISSUES REPAIRED. I PLACE MINE, MY KIDS AND PASSENGERS' LIVES & SAFETY INTO JEOPARDY EVERY TIME WE GET IN TO DRIVE/RIDE. I ONLY HAVE 78K MILES AND 1YR OF CAR PYMNTS LEFT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN AND I WAS A DIEHARD CHEVY AND "BUY AMERICAN" CONSUMER. THIS VEHICLE IS A PIECE OF JUNK. MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL BE ANY VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE, WHOEVER THE MANUFACTURER MAY BE. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO HELP??? *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SHOWS THAT THE FUEL LEVEL READS EMPTY AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY. THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR APPX 50 MILES THE LEVEL RESUMES. NO TELLING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK AFTER FILLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY SUV, AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED DROPPING WITHIN A MINUTES TIME, TO 3/4 TANK, 1/2 TANK, 1/4 TANK, THEN THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND STATED I WAS ON EMPTY. I DIDN'T SMELL GASOLINE, BUT THE GAUGE THEN STARTED GOING BACK UP, THEN DOWN AND WENT HAYWIRE. AFTER SOME OF THE GAS WAS USED, IT WENT BACK UP TO ALMOST FULL, BUT AFTER A BIT, IT DROPPED BACK DOWN TO HALF TANK AGAIN. EVERY SUBSEQUENT TIME I FILL UP, THE GAUGE DOES THE SAME THING. ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS IS THE HEAD LIGHTS DIM AND GET BRIGHTER. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ABOUT THE SAME THING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK DISPLAYED A FUEL LEVEL READING OF EMPTY AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY. THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HIGH STOP LIGHT ABOVE THE LIFT GATE FRACTURED DUE TO ICE IN THE WINTER. THE PART SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE RAN OVER THE PIECE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE HIGH STOP LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY '05 TRAILBLAZER NEW OFF THE LOT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. COUPLE YEARS LATER MY OIL & GAS GAGE STOPPED WORKING. I BASED MY SPEED OFF MY RPM & CALCULATE MY GAS MILEAGE AFTER EACH FILL UP. NOW MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE DIMMING & I'VE NOTICED ON MANY OCCASIONS MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER...I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE & THE WATER PUMP TWICE. NOW WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THIS OTHER LITTLE CHK GAGE LIGHT COMES ON, I DON'T KNOW IF A MALFUNCTION OF IF SOMETHING IS TRULY WRONG. NOW IT'S RUNNING ROUGH, ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO CUT OFF. THEY HAVE CHECKED ALL THAT THEY CAN BUT BECAUSE THE CHK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON, THERE'S NO WAY FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THE MECHANIC RIDES WITH ME OF COURSE THE CAR WON'T DO IT...AND ALTHOUGH, THESE ARE SEPARATE ISSUES I CAN'T WONDER IF REPLACING THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED THE SAME SYSTEM AS THE DASHBOARD. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DIFFER MECHANICS IT WOULD COST UP TO $600 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM. BUT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS, MANY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THIS PROBLEM COULD OR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL & IF NOT, WHY? IF YOU VIEW THE COMPLAINTS WHY NOT LOOK INTO THE VERY PRESENT & PERSISTENT PROBLEM! ITS VERY FRUSTRATING & AGGRAVATING TO PLAY A GUESSING GAME WHEN YOUR UP & DOWN A HIGHWAY DAILY! NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY HAZARD! SURELY, YOUR COMPANY ISN'T SO MONEY HUNGRY THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU PRODUCT & OFFER TO PAY FOR SOME OR ALL THE COSTS TO REPAIR! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 & I WAS BLESSED ENOUGH TO PAY MY CAR OFF A YEAR AGO BUT I'VE PAID MORE IN REPAIR COSTS & STRESSING WHETHER OR NOT I'LL MAKE IT SAFELY TO & FROM MY DESTINATION! I NEVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH MY GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE. I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN YOUR VEHICLE... *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO GO CRAZY JUMPING AROUND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED OFF READING FINE THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT READ THAT I WAS GOING 120MPH BY THE TIME I GOT HOME IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL HAD TO GUESS MY SPEED THEN ABOUT A TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN SAME DAY IT WENT HAYWIRE AGAIN AND NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY DRAINING I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL PLACES TO GET IT CHECK OUT ALL THAT CAN BE FOUND OUT IS THAT SOMETHING IS STAYING ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I CAN GO DAYS, WEEKS WITHOUT THE PROBLEM JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. *TR
