1.) NO EVENTS TOOK PLACE DASHBOARD CLUSTER JUST FAILED. 2.) SPEEDOMETER, OIL GAGE, RPM, GAS GAUGE EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE, IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL SPEED... 3.) MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE DASH BOARD CLUSTER IS BAD, ITS 450-600 DOLLARS TO REPAIR, THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL YET? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN ABOUT... THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD WORK, THE INSTRUMENTS SHOULD WORK. *TR

2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. SPEEDOMETER READS 100 MPH WHEN SITTING STILL. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS SAME COMPLAINT AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 EXTENDED CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. AT 37,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER WITH THE WARRANTY. TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $1200.00!!!! THE GAUGE QUIT WORKING 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRAILBLAZER AND I PAID $25000 FOR IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING, BUT THEN I FOUND MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO'S FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING ALSO. I KNOW THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS FUEL GAUGE. I WANT SOMETHING DONE.!!!! I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY ROAD, AND MY 4 KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER!! *TR

STRUCTURE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY GAS TANK ALWAYS READS EMPTY AND THE FUEL LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. OCCASIONALLY AFTER A FILL UP, IT WILL APPEAR THAT I HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS, BUT SOON RETURNS TO EMPTY. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR MORE I HAVE HAD TO RESET MY MILEAGE TRIP GAUGE EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND WATCH THE MILEAGE SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. ALSO, ONE NIGHT ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 20 MILES AN HOUR MORE THAN THE SPEED WE WERE TRAVELING. EVEN AFTER WE STOPPED COMPLETELY, THE GAUGE READ 20 MPH. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS ONCE AGAIN NORMAL AND HAS BEEN SINCE, BUT THIS WAS VERY STRANGE. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STICKS AT EMPTY OR JUST AROUND 1/4 OF A TANK THEN FALLS BACK TO EMPTY AND LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE RESEARCHED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A HIGHLY PREVALENT ISSUE ON '05 TRAILBLAZERS AT AROUND 50K MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CHECKING FUEL INDICATOR STARTED TO BE STUCK ON BELOW EMPTY CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON A FEW OCCASIONS. AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS HAS BEEN A FLAW IN GM TRUCKS FOR SOMETIME NOW. AND THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS OVER $500.00. THESE VEHICLES COST TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER NOT THINK IT IS THERE RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT. *TR

REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER XLT, WHEN I FILL THE TANK UP AND PARK ON A HILL THE TANK LEAKS GAS OUT FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK OR THE TOP OF THE CUP THAT CONNECTS TO AND GOES INTO THE TANK. I HAVE A STEEP DRIVEWAY AND NOW I NOTICE THAT I LEAK GAS WHEN I AM ON A FULL TANK AND PARKED ON A STEEP HILL...I HAVE 3 BOYS RANGING FROM 2, 4 AND 14 AND THEY ALL SMELLED AND SAW THE GAS. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2003 TRAILBLAZERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, DEALER SAID MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH A RECALL. NEEDED CAR FOR WORK SO IT COST $425.00 TO FIX PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CONTROL MODULE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE THE SPEED LIMIT SLOWED AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STAYED AT THE SAME SPEED. WE PULLED OVER AND STOPPED AND IT STAYED AT 60. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT MOVE. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A WEEK AND HAS STAYED AT 80 AND DOES NOT GO BACK TO ZERO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LAST EVENING 4/08/2010 IN TOWN AND MY SPEEDOMETER STARTING SPEEDING UP WITHOUT ME ACCELERATING. AT REST THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 45 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE UP TO 90MPH WHEN I'M TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO INCREASE EVEN IF I AM AT A STEADY TRAVELING SPEED. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW A FASTER SPEED THAN YOU MOVING OR WILL GO TO 0 WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THE TACH HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED NOW. I HEARD THAT THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON PICK-UPS AND THEY WERE RECALLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LAST DEC I WAS DRIVING AND MY TACHOMETER BEGAN READING HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE TO REFUEL, THE TACHOMETER CONTINUED TO READ ~3000 RPM. MY VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 38K MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I RESEARCHED THIS SYMPTOM AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY A RECALL ON OTHER GM VEHICLES USING THE SAME INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. ONE SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE A FUSE AND THEN TURN ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS RESETS THE CLUSTER. HOWEVER, THIS IS TEMPORARY AND THE PROBLEM SOON RETURNS. ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS INTERNET FORUMS, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL MORE CRITICAL INSTRUMENTS (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, ETC.) EXHIBIT THE SAME ERRATIC SYMPTOMS. *TR
