2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ext 370 Interior & seats Problems

I OWN A 2005 TRAILBLAZER, THE FIRST PROBLEM HAD TO DO WITH THE GAS NOT PUMPING. IT WOULD CAUSE THE PUMP TO CUT OFF. THE PASSENGER SEAT'S PLASTIC SIDE BROKE OFF AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKE. THE DRIVER'S LUMBAR SELECTOR QUIT WORKING.THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. I USE MY GPS.THEN THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING, THE "DUMMY LIGHT" STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. CD IS HUNG UP IN THE RADIO. THE FRONT FAN FOR AC/HEATING QUIT WORKING.THE OTHER FANS WORK AND THE AC COOLS.EVIDENTLY THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINS WITH THIS CERTAIN MAKE/MODEL GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEMS. IF THEY DON'T FIX MY PROBLEMS MY NEST CAR WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE AN AMERICAN MADE ONE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN ALOT OF PRIDE WHEN WE HAVE TO BEG TO GET OUR CARS FIXED WHEN SHODDY PARTS ARE USED ON OUR CARS. *TR

I READ IN THE MANUAL FOR MY 05 TRAILBLAZER THAT I BOUGHT 3 DAYS AGO THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCK IF THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION. TODAY I WAS MAKING A TRIP TO MY STORAGE UNIT AND DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING SINCE MY 4 MONTH OLD SON WAS INSIDE AND IT WAS A WARM DAY. MY DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK, AND I GOT OUT, WALKED AROUND THE CAR TO OPEN MY SONS DOOR SO I COULD HEAR HIM. THE DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED! I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY LOCKED THEMSELVES, BUT NOT EVEN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO LOCK WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, WAS OPEN! SO MY CELL PHONE AND INFANT WERE BOTH LOCKED IN MY CAR WITH IT RUNNING AND MY BABY CRYING. I HAD TO SIT THERE AND WATCH HIM CRY THROUGH THE WINDOW, BECAUSE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THE MANUAL WHEN IT SAID THE DOORS COULDN'T LOCK. THANKFULLY MY DAD LIVES CLOSE BY AND I WAS ABLE TO BORROW A CELL PHONE AND HAVE HIM GO AND GET THE KEYS FROM MY HUSBAND AT WORK. HAD THE CAR BEEN OFF HE COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HOT BY THE TIME I GOT THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND GOT HIM OUT. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE THIRD ROW SEAT CUSHIONS ARE SO BIG THAT THEY DO NOT ALLOW THE LATCH SYSTEM TO BE ACCESSED. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE THE SAFETY BELTS. WHEN SHE SECURES A CHILD SEAT TO THE SAFETY BELT IT ALLOWS THE CHILD SEAT TO TIP OVER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS DESIGN. *AK
