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????

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.

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??

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

2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL SENSOR UNIT FAULTY. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT CORRECTLY SHOW THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. IT SHOWS EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE FUEL HAS BEEN FILLED. ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION MY SPOUSE WAS LEFT STRANDED DUE TO THIS FAILURE. *TR

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.

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.

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

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON WAY TO WORK, THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ABOVE THE REAR HATCH FLEW OFF INTO THE HIGHWAY. I STOPPED AND PICKED THE PART UP AND HAVE IT HOWEVER I'M LEFT WITH A BROKEN TRUCK. THE BRACKETS ON THE TRUCK THAT THE ASSEMBLY PLACE SNAPS INTO IS BROKEN AND WHEN THE ASSEMBLY PIECE FLEW OFF THE TRUCK THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WIRE WAS SNAPPED INTO BY THE FORCE OF THE WIND. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT LTS TAILGATE GLASS DOOR HINGE CAP POPPED OFF AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED (HINGES, FIBERGLASS CAP, GLASS, ETC). I WAS INFORMED BY MR. KENNETH LAMOTT OF THE 1ST AVENUE BODY SHOP, INC. IN GREAT FALLS MT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND APPARENT DESIGN DEFECT THAT CHEVROLET KNOWS ABOUT. HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT AS A RECALL ITEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MR. LAMOTT WAS TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS SHOULD IT COME LOOSE AGAIN AS IT WILL DISLODGE AND PRESENT ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH A HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGES, INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH IF IT IMPACTED AND PASSED THRU A WINDSHIELD HITTING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I HIT MY BRAKES WHEN REALIZING THE LIGHT WAS RED. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I SLID THROUGH THE LIGHT HITTING A TURNING CAR. THIS RESULTED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT, BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED. *JS

ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 5TH MY 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE. THIS WAS THE SECOND FAILURE ON A TIRE ON MY VEHICLE WITHIN A ONE WEEK PERIOD. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS MUCH LESS CATASTOPHIC THAN THE SECOND, HOWEVER, THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE RELATED. AS I CHANGED LANES ON A BUSY HIGHWAY I HEARD A THUMPING SOUND FOLLOWED BY RUBBER FLYING INTO THE AIR. THE VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT SLOWED TO ALLOW ME TO PROCEED TO THE SHOULDER AREA. THE VEHICLE HANDLED VERY WELL, BUT THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALLS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER JUST WENT HAYWIRE. READINGS ALL OVER THE PLACE REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL SPEED. SAME AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *LN

GM INITIATED CONTACT IN DECEMBER OF 2010 AND TOLD ME TO GET A FULL DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEMS AND STATED THAT IT WAS OK TO GO TO THE FORMER GM DEALER. I PAID OVER $100 FOR THIS DIAGNOSIS AND THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER. *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.

TRANSMISSION LINE LEAK. PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WELL. CORROSION ON 1 LINE. *TR

BRAND NEW 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER TRANSMISSION WONT DOWNSHIFT BACK INTO LOW GEAR UPON COMING TO A STOP. DEALER SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (AT 600 MILES) BY REPLACING A SENSOR. IT HAS JUST NOW STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN (AT 2,100 MILES). *NM

I TOOK A LEFT TURN WITH MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT. AND FISHTAILED ON SOME ICE AND MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND GM HAS TOLD THOSE PEOPLE THAT THE BLACK BOX SAID THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ANTICIPATED A ROLLOVER AND THEY HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE THE DAMAGE FIXED. I HAVE TOLD GM THIS HAS HAPPENED AND AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM BUT AM EXPECTING THE SAME VERDICT THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS RECEIVED. I DON'T SEE HOW FISHTAILING ON WET PAVEMENT, ICE, OR IN SOME INSTANCES OR AROUND SOMETHING CAN CAUSE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I HAVE AIRBAGS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE INTERIOR ROOF NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE SEAT BELTS ARE ALL LOCKED UP AND CAN'T BE USED. *TR

TWO TIRES FAILED WITHIN A WEEK WITH SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FIRST TIRE FAILURE WAS LESS DRAMATIC THAN THE SECOND DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT OCCURRED AT NIGHT WHEN TEMPERATURES WERE COOLER AND VEHICLE STOPS WERE MORE FREQUENT. THE SECOND FAILURE WAS CATASTROPHIC. THE SIDEWALLS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. AFTER THE FIRST TIRE FAILURE I HAD THE TIRES ALIGNED, BALANCED AND PRESSURE CHECKED BY A GM TECHNICIAN. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE GM DEALER CLEARLY TOLD ME THAT THE TWO REMAINING TIRES WERE IN GOOD SHAPE AND HAD SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES ON THEM BEFORE I HAD TO WORRY ABOUT CHANGING THEM. FOUR DAYS LATER THE TIRE FAILED COMPLETELY. AFTER THE INCIDENT I CALLED BACK TO THE GM DEALER TO VERIFY THEIR PROCESS FOR TIRE ALIGNMENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRES WERE INDEED VERIFIED TO BE AT 35PSI, THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED LEVEL. I RETAINED THE FAILED TIRE FOR FUTURE USE. THE TIRES WERE CONTINENTAL CONTI-TRAC P245/65/R17 WITH A DOT NUMBER OF HW8T BL5 0305. A SIMILAR REPORT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE NHTSA. *TR

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.
