Report date : october 18, 2010 at 09:14 am search type : vehicle year : 2005 make : chevrolet model : trailblazer results : 1 | all records displayed the federal safety agency action number: n/a the federal safety agency recall campaign number: dp10001 n/a make: chevrolet model: trailblazer manufacturer : general motors corp. Year : 2005 component : fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump I bought my 2005 trailblazer a little over a year ago. The gas gauge does not work. It would go all the way to full and then after a couple of miles it would go to "empty." the fuel light comes on and the car will make a loud beep to let you know you are out of fuel. The beep really throws off your concentration to the road and is very distracting. It makes you tap the brakes which could definitely lead to an accident or even running out of gas. This is a serious issue and needs to be fixed.

2005 chevy trailblazer ext fuel pump/fuel sensor problems, fuel gauge quits working and then problems with the fuel pump begins. Bought my truck in 2005, replaced it under warranty in8/ 2007, went out again in12/ 2009...so every 2 years. Chevrolet wants $800-1500 to fix the problem. 3 fuel pump/fuel sensors in 5 years and you don't think there in a defect. Over 100 problems reported on carbeef.com about it.

I have a 2005 trailblazer ext purchased new in july 05. Recently while driving, the car had reduced engine power, the check engine light then came on then my car just shut off. It started back up after pulling off the road but had to endure this the entire time while driving home. When I took it in for diagnosis I was told the accelerator pedal sensor needed to be repaired after having that repaired I drove home and the same thing happened with the check engine light and the car shutting off while driving. When I took it back again they noticed an additional problem " the fuel level sensor wiring was chaffing on fuel pump ground terminal" or in layman's term the wire was sitting in fuel so they had to remove the fuel tank and reroute the wires. This sounds very dangerous and if this is happening please report it. There are tsb reports on the issue with the accelerator pedal but gm has not issued a recall on this. The question is why not? I have also had to have the output shaft seal on the transmission replaced last year and again this year. Not very happy with this vehicle. In my opinion these are vehicle defects not problems you should be having with the normal maintenance issues. Gm needs to issue recalls to have these issues resolved. Oh in addition to the other problems I also just had to have the thermostat replaced in early june.
