ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MULTIPLE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THE TACHOMETER IS READING 5,000 RPM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND 7,000 RPM WHEN GOING 15 MPH. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE GAUGE SITS AT 2,000. THE SPEEDOMETER IS CLICKING UP (NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE CORRECT SPEED). AND IT SHOWING A LESSER SPEED THEN I AM GOING. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS IT IS GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR BUT WILL SLOWLY DROP DOWN TO ZERO. BOTH OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS SHOWING 7,000 RPM, AFRAID I WAS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AND RUIN MY CAR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF MAKING THIS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AUG 20,2017 AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE, 10-15 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT. I WAS CLOSE TO THE MOTEL I WAS STAYING AT SO JUST DROVE STRAIGHT THERE. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RURAL AREA I LIVE IN. MY DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS ALSO GO OUT IN THE SAME WAY.
