2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 70, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Since 2011 I've been having wrong reading of gas levels causing my vehicle to shutoff. Plus my passager air bag displays on when no one is sitting in seat and when someone is sitting in passager seat it occasionally flicker on and off. However I have not had a incident just yet but I'm very concerned and don't feel safe driving with my kids in this vehicle.
As of 2011 (while driving on freeways in multiple occasions) I've been having electrical issues such as my fuel level gage would read full and vehicle would shut off cause no gas in tank, air bags sensor would show it on when no one is sitting in the passenger seat, and there are some electrical issues on driver seat controls not working, dash board gages not showing readings while vehicle is in motion (rmp, speedometer, oil, gas).
Head on collision both vehicles traveling about 30mph on impact and trailblazer air bags did not deploy. I had my seatbelt on and was not injured.

The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 06v417000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000.
Fuel gage is not showing the fuel level , so it looks like its empty all the time automatic air bag passenger sensing system is malfunctioning and on windshield urethane bead may not have adhered to the body in certain areas during the cure process.
2005 chevy trailblazer was driven by my granddaughter. She was trying to enter onto I-10 interstate and was going too fast on the entrance ramp. Road conditions were hazardous as it was a severe rain storm. She hydroplaned and hit a vehicle in front of her which caused her to spin into oncoming traffic. She was hit on the driver's side and the truck spun around several times before it stoppped. The airbag did not deploy!!! The police officer and the tow company driver said she was lucky to be alive. My concern is this could have been a fatal accident and the airbag failed to deploy. The trailblazer was totaled as the axle and the engine were on the ground. The driver's side front wheel came off. I have always like chevy vehicles but am now hesitant to purchase another one b/c of this issue with the air bag.
The airbags will show that they're not enabled even with a passenger sitting in the seat.then it would come on as being on but no passenger in seat. A lot of sensors have popped up in the electrical panel, on top of that the car kinda shut down on me and started going 10 miles per hour, as I was going out in traffic.
Odometer works then just stops going down the road and airbag light stays on now also if I plug in my cell charger the radio shuts off did not do this until issues with odometer.

The roads where slightly wet and I hit a guardrail on a mountain road going approx 30mph - 35mph. Destroying the front passenger bumper, turn signal light, tire, axle, suspension, pretty much everything on the passenger side and the guardrail of course. The air bags never deployed! Police report was taken, no fault or major injuries, the truck could not be driven and again the air bags did not deploy! Just makes me think (if I had went through the guardrail and down the mountain into a tree) would the air bags ever work and save my life? Please recall this issue!!

I have after market seats in my 2005 chevy trailblazer, I've seen a recall on your site so I called gm and they ran my VIN to check if it involves my vehicle, however they state it doesn't involve mine. I have stated that my service air bag light keeps coming on "blinking" and I do have the leather seats. This is the website with the cloth seats.... Http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2005/chevrolet/trailblazer/photos/interior/cockpit.html and here is the recall from your site http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/owners/searchresults.action?searchtype=prod&prodtype=v&targetcategory=a&activetab=0&searchcriteria.model_yr=2005&searchcriteria.make=chevrolet&searchcriteria.model=trailblazer&searchcriteria.prod_ids=204821 report receipt date: oct 31, 2006 the federal safety agency campaign number: 06v417000.
Crashed straight into the back end of a vehicle doing 60 while I was doing atleast 80, or 85, maybe more, I don't remember. The first thing I remember seeing is realizing I'm alright despite the blood in the cockpit and on my face despite sneezing which was spreading blood. Is this a vehicle defect or what? My math says that crashing at 85mph into a vehicle doing 60 is like crashing into a brick wall at 25mph. I've had a local mechanic check it out and he says according to his obd-ii computer everything is working fine (or was atleast) :) anyways, please feel free to contact me again with any more question you may have.

, I was approaching a line of cars stopped for a red light. The weather was clear and I was decelerating and moving at approximately 20 MPH. As I began to apply the brakes, they failed catastrophically. The brake pedal hit the floor,with no resistance, and I ran into the back of a stopped pickup truck?.watching it all unfold before my eyes while my foot frantically pumped the brake pedal, which hit the floor with each attempt. Although it was a front end collision, the airbags did not deploy.
