I requests that the federal safety agency open an investigation into the performance/reliability of the fuel level sensor installed in model year 2005 chevrolet trailblazer vehicles. I allege that the fuel tank level sensor is defective and could result in a subject vehicle running out of fuel, stall, and being rear ended by another vehicle. I also allege that the rear center brake light cover assembly located above the rear hatch on these vehicles routinely fails resulting in the assembly falling off of the truck and would cause damage to another vehicle driving behind the trailblazer.
2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT 370 lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Our 2005 chevy trailblazer's low beam headlights have been replaced, the wires were replaced and worked long enough for me to go out at night. The first night I did go out, they stopped working. I was stuck out of town with my little girl. Thank goodness I wasn't driving or in a place where I didn't have cell phone service(which I don't have close to my home). Also, our fuel gauge doesn't work. We've had it repaired and it worked for a short period as well, but doesn't work any longer. Apparently, these two issues are common problems that chevrolet needs to address. A recall would be nice. I have two more payments and I do not want to buy a new vehicle. Nor would I feel comfortable selling this one as it is.
I have a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ls ext and the speedometer, fuel, and battery gauges do not work properly. There is a dimming of the lights while driving and people sometimes think I am flashing my lights at them. According to http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=18419&highlight=gas+guage&page=2 this has been a known problem for several years and no one has done anything about it. There are several other forums out there that say the same thing,this is a major safety hazard and could cause major problems including accidents, speeding tickets, running out of gas...the problems are endless I guess. Something needs to be done. Why has there not been a recall on this with so many complaints? Are you waiting for something serious to happen?
I own a 2005 chevy trailblazer in dec. 2009 I filled the car with gas and the fuel gauge immediately registered empty the fuel sensor has failed it will cost $558.00 to repair. In february the speedometer registered 120 MPH while sitting still for a stop sign now the speedometer does not work. I contacted gen motors in detroit, michigan and was asked to have diagnostic done at ed bozart chevorlet. By a representative in consumer complaints they contacted district representative for chevy and they both said that there is nothing they can do to help us. The total cost to fix our car is $1,258.00. We were told to fix the car for safety reasons and if they decided to recall the trailblazer we might be reimbursed. There are several complaints in the computer concerning the same problems with this car.
2005 ext trailblazer rear plastic molding containing the 3rd brakelight separated from the window at least 3x since I have owned this vehicle. Once even falling completely off severing the wires and landing in the roadway. I noticed the first separation less than 6 months after getting vehicle brand new. It has separated again and dealer says that it is not covered under warranty because it is considered cosmetic even though the vehicle was still under lease for another year. He also informed me that it happens to everyone he has seen and there is nothing they can do to stop it from happening that it is a flaw in the engineering, but they wouldn't hold it against me when I turn my lease in.
While driving on the highway, the rear brake light accessory fell off my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ext. While the vehicle was in motion. There was no prior indication that the piece was loose. The piece, fortunately, remained attached to the vehicle while slamming against my rear window. I am concerned that the manufacturer of this vehicle is not properly securing the rear brake light piece and endangering my family as well as other motorists. When I tried to rectify with the dealerships service shop, they claimed that ice can cause this problem, citing that they had seen this happen a couple of times prior, and refused to take responsibility for correcting the problem, claiming that it was due to an act of nature and perhaps I could file a claim with my automobile insurance provider.
