FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2007 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WILL NOT READ ABOVE EMPTY AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. I HAVE SEARCHED SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM CHARGES $500 OR MORE TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C. SPEED 4 AND 5 BOTH QUIT AND NOW THE WHOLE THING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEALER I TAKE IT TO TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS BURNT OUT AND THE HARNESS (WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $200). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS AND THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY 0 ULTIMATELY STAYING ON EMPTY... THIS I FOUND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS AND HAS BEEN FOR AWHILE - MANY BUSINESS ASSOCIATES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT YEARS OF TRAILBLAZER... WHAT A RIP-OFF, I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS - THEY ARE WORSE THAN TOYOTA. *TR

2005 TRAILBLAZER ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE DIPS ALOT AS YOU DRIVE. RADIO DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS 100DEG, THEN ONLY ONE SPEAKER WORKS. GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER I FILLED UP. IGNITION IS VERY HARD TO TURN, YOU HAVE TO KEEP INSERTING AND REMOVING KEY UNTIL IT FREES ITSELF. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER MARKS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF JUST BEING FILLED UP. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 05 & 06 TRAILBLAZER AROUND THE 40,000 MILE MARK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND IT HAS MANY PROBLEMS. BUT THE MOST DANGEROUS, AT THIS POINT, IS THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. SOMETIMES, IT WON'T GET OFF OF ZERO. OTHER TIMES, IT SHOWS THAT I AM GOING OVER 120 MPH, WHEN IN FACT, I AM GOING WITH FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AT OTHER TIMES, IT SHOWS EITHER 15 TO 20 MILES ABOVE OR BELOW THE SPEED I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING. THERE IS NO COMMON DENOMINATOR AS TO WHEN OR IF THE PROBLEM STARTS OR STOPS. IT IS VERY, VERY RANDOM. THE COST TO FIX WILL BE OVER $450.00. THERE ARE MANY OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM COULD BE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST, OR SLOW, THEY ARE ACTUALLY DRIVING. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 WAS ACTING UP AND THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AND IT IS AMAZING TO ME HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA AND HIS SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND HIS GAS GAUGE. WHY IS THIS CONTINUING WITH CHEVROLET...SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE. OH...AND BY THE WAY I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED JUST 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF A WINDING NOISE AND THEN A YEAR LATER IT ACTS UP...HMMM...DID THEY REALLY REPLACE IT?

2006 TRAILBLAZER LT, PURCHASED GM CERTIFIED USED, 32,000MILES, AT 39,000 I FILLED THE GAS TANK, RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE GAUGE READ E WHICH CONTINUED UNTIL IT FINALLY GOT TO 3/4. THIS WAS NOT CONTINUOUS DRIVING. OK UNTIL I FILLED IT AGAIN AND I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING AND BRING IT IN THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS WHICH I PLAN TO DO. FOR NOW I WRITE DOWN THE MILEAGE. MY FEAR WILL THIS PROBLEM OF REGISTERING WRONG MAKE MY CAR THINK IT'S OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND STOP IN TRAFFIC!! *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM ON MY 2006 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS GIVING WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF A FAILURE IN A READ WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND A STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. THESE FAILURES OCCURRED JUST ONE YEAR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS INTERNET POSTS FROM OTHER TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM FAILS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SAFELY NAVIGATE SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SPEEDOMETER ERRATICALLY INCREASES. BRAKING TO A STOP DOES NOT TAKE THE SPEEDOMETER TO ZERO. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING SOMETIMES PUTS THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE TO ZERO IN FIVE MILE INCREMENTS WITH EACH CYCLE. PROBLEM IS RECURRING. VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A "CLUSTER" PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED WITH ESTIMATED COST TO BE AROUND $500. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALS THIS TO BE MORE THAN A SPORADIC PROBLEM RESULTING IN THE MANUFACTURER RECALLING A NUMBER OF VEHICLE MODELS BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. A CALL TO GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CULMINATES ONLY WITH A FORMAL COMPLAINT BEING REGISTERED ... THIS TOO BEING THE COMMON END FOR OWNERS OF TRAILBLAZERS (ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH) THE PROBLEM IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AS WHEN THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING ONE HAS TO GAUGE DRIVING SPEED BY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. *TR
