My chevy trailblazer 2005 has been giving me problems not much after of leasing the SUV on 3/25/05. Not sure what day was when I got into the accident in august but it was cause do to the brakes. When backing up, I hit into my brother's truck and I couldn't stop so I kept on smashing more into my brother's truck. Not lately I am having eletrical problems too. My engine light comes on and when it does the whole SUV shakes badly. Don't understand why all of these problems are happening. I just want to get out of this lease and live!
2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer electrical complaints
Page 22 of 22: complaints 611 to 617 of 617, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Headlights and instrument panel lights are going dim to bright while driving. Does not happen when sitting still, so do not know if rear lights are doing the same.
Dt: the contact states while driving two engine lights come on and the engine powered down. When the vehicle was powering down she could press the accelerator to the floor and it moved along. When this happened none of the brake lights came on. Therefore, contact's vehicle was almost hit by an 18 wheeler. She continued to drive the vehicle at the low speed. This happens at no particular speed. The vehicle has been to the dealership ,and they replaced the computer and throttle body. The dealership has been unable to diagnose the problem.
On august 27th I was driving down the road when blue smoke came out from under the hood which smelled like plastic/copper burning the cruise control along with the back windshield wiper stopped working it was taken to chevrolet dealership but not the one where it was purchased I was told they couldn't find the source of the problem after having my car a total of 3 days needless to say on the way back home more electrical problems occurred since the dealership failed to fix it not only did smoke come out from under the hood the lights on the dash/radio would flash from bright to dim the battery gauge was moving back and forth the radio stopped working the car is back in the shop when hooked to the computer at the dealership where it was purchased it showed some electrical problems with the cruise/windshield wiper.
2005 trail blazer driving at 65 MPH stopped running no warning. Drifted to side of road. All electrical power not working.
Dt: for no reason the vehicle shuts down. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer four times for this problem.
I have brought my vechicle to the dealership for service on three seprate ocasions for the following condition: the voltage fluctuates between 10 and 15 volts, causing the headlights and instrument panel to go dim, then bright again.*ak the dealership was unable to diagnose or reproduce the problem. Today 04/06/2005 the dealership stated they contacted gm, and stated that this was normal. This is not normal! I have never driven a vechicle in which headlights going dim, then bright normal. It is almost as if the lights are flashing at times. The dealership stated that there are tsbs stating that this is normal. This to me creates an unsafe driving environment. I found the following statement on gm techlink: http://www.gmtechlink.com/images/issues/cnt_mo/tlcme.html some customers may comment that their instrument panel voltmeter is fluctuating between 12 and 14 volts on their new 2005 model year light duty full size pickup/utility vehicle. For 2005 model year, light duty full size pickups and utilities, are equipped with a new regulated voltage control (rvc) system, covered in the september 2004 techlink. The rvc system allows changes to vehicle voltage, up or down, under various scenarios. Battery state of charge and the vehicle?s present electrical needs are only two of numerous conditions taken into account. This will cause the voltmeter to fluctuate between 12 and 14 volts. By comparison, conventional systems usually maintain a more consistent reading of 14 volts. This fluctuation with the rvc system is normal system operation and no repairs should be attempted.
