The whole instrument cluster does not work anymore, does not let me know how fast I'm going or how much fuel I have, oil pressure gauge doesn't work, temperature gauge doesn't work... Why hasn't this been recalled? This is very dangerous, considering I have 4 kids that are constantly in the car with me and I have no idea what is going on with my vehicle?? 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????

I have 2005 chevrolet trailblazer 4wd ext ls 4.2 liter. I noticed over past 3 years that I be at drive through for burgers and etc. The car would cut off. I did not think much of it at the time. It has gotten critically worse. It would cut off in middle of the highway, drive throughs and etc. During the past two years I have re the luster and over head dome light flicker. Head lights very dim on driving also I have replaced on this vehicle the fuel throttle and sensor, a crank sensor a cam sensor, a temp sensor 4 power steering pumps new the power steering rack and assembly wheel hubs and bearings, all new coils spark plugs, belt idle pulley power steering pulley change oil every 3,000 miles air filter change battery, updated soft ware, flush fuel system, service the air condition replaced rear shocks, gm relaced pulley on engine 2010 replaced the pvc hose flush radiator and brake system, rotation and alignment done every 5000 miles, replaced headlight low beam bulbs and left tail light assembly and lens, I had it to chevrolet private mechanic garage and nothing is reading wrong also notice the ECM not storing the service engine light stay a microsecond on. This highly dangerous can stal or quit and be run over on highway. I noticed on the web on cars complaint.com amany people have cmplainted this issue.chevrolet had investigated ths issue aaaaand no resolve.

I bought 2005 chevrolet trailblazer and the fuel gauge is defective. It is crazy to hear beep sounding all the time telling me the gauge is empty when I know for sure is not. I wish it could be fixed, because I have many others things in my plate that need to worry, I really don't need another one.

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??

For the 3rd time the cluster has gone out. This results in the speedometer, temperature gauge and others to stop working. Each time I am expected to take my vehicle to a chevrolet mechanic for diagnosis and part replacement at $700.00+ each time. This model has no recall. I am fed up with paying this much every 3-4 years for a defective part. There has never been any sign before it goes out.

Our 2005 chevy trailblazer speedometer stopped working. This has happened on many of these vehicles. It is a very expensive fix and it's a danger to drivers not knowing how fast they are traveling.

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.

There is already a recall out for the 2006 model year, but I know that mine is part of it. I have a 2005 trailblazer and the headlights keep intermittently going out as I am driving down the road. This problem as happened to me before in the past and I was able to finally remedy the issue by replacing the relay. The problem has now returned and I have even been pulled over multiple times for it. After doing a quick google search today I discovered that there are tons!!!!! Of people with the same issue going back as far as 2002.

Http://fortune.com/2014/12/01/gm-recalls-316000-vehicles-because-of-malfunctioning-headlights/ clearly!!!! This problem is not limited to those years and there are a lot of people suffering from the same issue of not being able to see at night.. What do I need to do so that I can get this problem taken care of? Please respond quickly as winter is rapidly approaching and this is a daily driver for me. I go to work early in the morning when it is dark and by the time I come home again it is already getting dark. It would be nice to actually be able to see as I am going down the road and even to have others be able to see me coming as well.
