2005 cheverlot Trailblazer has had an issue since I purchased it in 2004 with stalling out. However over the last 4 years I have had an issue of no start... everything has been replaced by the dealer ignition switch, alternator, starter, exhaust, etc.... last result was the PCM powertrain module supposedly the brains of the car. However the same day it stalled again, most recently my dealership took it for a week and said they could not reduplicate issue. So there again I am at the same place where the car will be fine for weeks then do a no start untill after serveral attempts and smell of gas finally the car will start. Chevrelot Trailblazer have known this problem for awhile has done nothing about it...resolve the issue and do a recall spent over $10,000 on just maintenance.. what is Chevy going to do about this issue? ## VIN failed ##

The fuel gauge reads empty when there is plenty of gas in the tank. It sometimes read full when there is little gas left.

In 2007 I paid off my vehicle and now became the proud owner of my truck. In 2009, I noticed some problems with my truck. First, the gas gauge would say "F" full, but really it was on "E" empty. Then the mileage gauge " I can be on the expressway going as fast as the other cars, but my car reads 20 mph. This is crazy!!!! I called at 800-number for GMC and was informed that there was no recalls or any others calls for the 2005 Trailblazer, which I knew was a huge lie!!!! I decided to go on line and google the make and model of my car. Wow? guesses what I seen" there were over 41,000 people who have the same problems that I had for their 2005 Trailblazer. Again, the problem with my truck has gotten worst. In 2010, I called again and was informed that their still wasn't any other calls or concerns with my truck and that I should take it to an authorize Chevy dealership. Well, I did... in 2011, I called again.. same script same story!!! I received a letter for a emission test for my car. Well, let me tell you when I took my vehicle up to the emission testing it failed!!!. I got an estimate cost of $ 1900, plus they found 3 additional codes.. well, I got a 2008 Chevy Impala. I went from paying no car note, to $381 a month note. The week of September 4th, 2011.. I receive a letter from Chevrolet addressing the issues with the 2005 Chevy Trailblazers, and offering 50% on repairs for the same problems that I have been calling on for 2 years.

Filled up truck and gas gauge still said it was empty. Gas gauge is faulty and no longer works. Have to keep track of mileage now so I don't run out of gas. I also read that GM is willing to cover half the cost and were suppose to send a letter stating that. Never received anything. Not at all impressed with GM and will find it hard to stay a loyal customer.

I was traveling at approximately 55mph and the speedometer was indicating 120+mph. The speedometer has been sticking and indicating incorrect speed for about a month. Normally when the engine is cold and the outside temperature is cold. When driving and the vehicle warms up, the speedometer eventually corrects itself after stopping at a light and shutting the engine off and back on.

The blower/fan on the air conditioner/heater stopped working. It first began with #4 and #5 on the fan selector switch not working, but then it stopped altogether. After doing research this blower motor problem is very popular amongst these vehicles. Also, the fuel gauge on the dash hasn't worked in about 3 years. After doing some research, it appears that this is due to the fuel sensor in the fuel tank. Again, this is very common occurrence within the Trailblazer community. I was given an estimate of $774 for the blower motor to be fixed and $600 for the fuel gauge to be fixed.

Door locks repeatedly locked and unlocked, then cascading failures, anti-lock light, engine light, other warning lights. Engine started to run rough and would not make power, engine quit. Note transmission gear indicator read incorrectly. Disconnected battery, and reconnected, engine started got me home. Three occurrences that the engine just quits. It will restart after a few minutes. Mechanic could not find anything wrong. Had another occurrence, mechanic found a code indicating the ECM may be bad. He tells me this should have noting to do with the door locks. The door locks latch and unlatch, uncommanded. Engine stops when under power. Mechanic has no course of action at this time.

While driving the, window switch began to smoke so I physically removed the switch and have since not had power window access on the passenger side front door. The cost to replace was too great and at the bottom of the priority list. More recently, maybe 2 months ago, the driver side switch showed signs of the same results after a smell of burning electronics and heat to the touch so I simply unplugged the switch all together. The cost to replace these switches is quite significant and have not had any luck with Chevrolet in the past with complaints so I figured I would wait until I had a little extra money to replace these switches. On the news today I heard the end of a report and only caught the words GM and window switches so I came home and searched and came across so articles involving 2006 models. That is how I came across this website. I would very much hate to find out that the company does not know the problem exists further than 2006. An unrelated problem I encountered with the vehicle, which was quite unnerving, was that the third brake light assembly came off while driving on a local highway at @ 65 mph approximately 2 years ago. The fixture became un attached from the passenger side and was "flapping" off the driver's side. Only for a matter of time, I'm sure. Luckily our family was being followed by another family and they notified us by cell phone and we were able to remove the fixture without incident on the shoulder. It would have caused serious problems without doubt had it come completely off. When we notified the dealership, they told us we were out of our warranty and were on our own. Thank you for taking the time to try to make our highways safer!

The fuel gauge does not work. This seems to be a very common problem, and GM's only remedy is to screw over consumers by making them pay for a known defective part out of pocket. This should be recalled and fixed at GM's expense, or they should at least offer a discount. Their $800 estimate is silly.

At the time of purchase the owners noticed the rear brake lights did not work. The owners immediately return the car to the place of purchase for replacement of the brake lights. Several weeks later there was an issue with the vehicle speakers and that seemed to indicate an issue with the electrical in the car. While listening to the radio at any volume (low, medium or high) a high pitch, frequency or reverberation would happen. This is only when the radio is played, not when listening to cd's. the temporary solution is to firmly hit the middle arm rest to stop the reverberation. It's an annoyance but could potentially lead to other electrical issues and enormous costs. Please advice of either safety recalls, defects and possible service repair to the vehicle.

While driving to work my cruise control shut down and my speedometer stopped working. A couple weeks later the speedometer began working and now it has stopped again and stuck on 55 and doesn't move regardless if the vehicle is on or off. The cruise control won't work. I am very frightened to continue driving without knowing what speed I am driving. I can't afford to keep spending money on this vehicle to repair all the problems it's had. Wondering if the speedometer is covered under my 100,000 mile warranty. Please help.
