2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer: multiple warning lights

Filed Aug 9, 2014 · Driver assistance, Engine · 123,000 miles · NC

The check engine light comes on&off a lot right after fueling, I took it to the gmc dealership&had the camshaft replaced because it kept cutting off every time I turned a curve.I tried to show or tell them about this gmc recall letter I got on my 2005 chevrolet trailblazer, but they said that it didn't apply because of the mileage&I told them the car is not 10yrs old& the paper is saying 10yrs/120,00 miles& for me to take it to the dealership so that the manger can send my bill & receipt in for reimbursement they wouldn't do it.I guess because I'm a woman.driving to work on the interstate the car shut completely off. The car was still moving when all of a sudden all the lights and gauge's lit up and the car cut off. It did not lock up so I was able to steer it from the middle lane of a three lane interstate highway to the grass on the side without getting killed or hurting someone else.I had just filled it up with gas with a quarter of a tank from the full line. Once I got the car to a complete stop and thanking god that this was not tragic,I put the car in park and waited a few minutes before starting it back up. It started back up as if nothing had happened. I took it to auto zone to get a free diagnostic check&it showed that nothing was wrong. A few weeks later after I would cut the car off the air conditioning would not stop&the engine light constantly comes on every other time I hit the brakes. I had to keep taking out fuse #35 to get it to stop even after the car was cut off just so the battery won't run down. Took it to the dealership and was charged an arm&leg to get it fixed. I showed them the recall letter again and they said it was too late for them or myself to do anything about it. I have all of my receipts & the letter from gmc about the recalls.im sure my vehicle fits in there somewhere with these problems& truly would like 4 them 2 give my free car.

On 11/6/2010 while driving down the highway, smoke began to appear beneath the steering column. Pulled over and turned off vehicle, truck remained running and would not shut off, all lights interior and exterior lit up and would not shut off.... Opened hood and began pulling fuses to shut vehicle off and disconnect power. Had to cut battery cable and pull about 20 fuses to shut off. Called for tow truck and after inspection by myself and numerous mechanics it was found that a bundle of approx 80 wires perpendicular to the steering column had melted and started on fire. Total damage over $6600. Vehicle is totaled and insurance company (geico) refuses to pay claiming it was a vehicle defect. I owe over 10k on vehicle, purchased used 02/20/2010 with 59k. Total loss estimated at over 17k since finance company is no help trying to assist with repairs, I am letting them reposess it.

Chevy trailbazer 05... Gas gauge keeps moving from low to empty back to full,sometimes it stays at empty. Check engine light stays on. Fuel sending unit keeps failing. Unit was replaced in 2007 at dealership. Sending unit has gone bad again. Very expensive labor needed to fix this. When I fixed the first time I had warranty now it has expired. I checked online and it seems like everyone with a chevy trailblazer is having the same problem also my..to my knowledge this is a completely defect of the car. My major fear is to run out of gas on the highway and my car to stall. Leading to an accident.....also the instrument panel light keep getting darker..sometimes several lights come on.

2005 chevy trailblazer, headlights and interior lights dim and flash for no reason while driving (looks like a christmas tree). If I stop and shut the vehicle off, and restart, it stops. See several people having the same issue when I search on-line. Dealer claims they can find no error codes.
