2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer 360 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
First the oil pressure gauge spiked,then back to normal.next the gas gauge,it doesn't work at all,now the speedometer floats to about 100 MPH.to me it sounds like this is a very common problem.I have been having problems with the cluster for approx 1 1/2 years. Surprised they were not forced into a recall. They know there are problems>
Quit working speedometer.
The first problem I had with my 2005 trailblazer was right after I purchased it. There was a problem when you tried to pump gas it would keep kicking the pump off. I took it to the dealership from which I had bought it. They worked on it said it was fixed, but it would do it at certain pumps. Then I had a problem with he passenger seat's sidepiece popped off and they fixed that but now the driver's side has done the same along with the lumbar support quit working.then the speedometer went crazy, it was all over the place and made a real bad noise. The dealership quoted off it would be over $400.00 to fix it. Then the gas gauge popped up the "dummy light" as we call it when gas is getting low. The gauge quit registering the amount of gas in the tank. Then during the heat of summer the front fan quit working, the air conditioner worked and the other fans worked. I got a letter about the gas sensor and how I would have to pay half of it. That is a lot of money not counting the collision insurance and taxes and other expenses I have paid. They should be glad to help the working people who have always bought chevrolets. I will say this if they do not uphold some kind of quality on this high end automobile the next car I buy will not be an american because they won't stand by their products. It is just inappropriate that there have been a lot of the same complaints as I have about my car. I called the number on the paper that came out about the gas sensor and spoke with a nice lady named[xxx], she set it up for me to bring my car in for diagnostic check. I should know what all is damaged and in need of repair and how much will come out of my pocket. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Hvac blower stopped working on hi speed. Vehicle interior lights dimmed for about 1 sec corresponding to the instrument panel voltmeter falling to the low end of normal. The interior lights returned to normal brightness and the voltmeter returned to its normal position with engine running-a little above the middle indicating charging condition. Upon inspection the blower resistor and harness melted together. Pin g of the blower resistor melted the plastic around it. Replaced the blower resistor. Note: no fuses blew. Old part is available.
