Six problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag warning indicator illuminated. When the passenger seat was occupied, the air bag sensor would not illuminate. Also, the contact noticed that the abs sensor illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for further inspection, diagnostic testing, and repair. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 87,001.
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).
Started with the service air bag message (known issue). Then the fuel gauge acted up and finally went to e and stayed. Now have and occasional surge in the fuel when I have the brake pressed (known issues). Speedometer starting acting up and no longer works (known issue). Oh and the check engine light is now always on. Started intermittently (again, known issue). Was told $500 from dealer when I called to report the service air bag message. Recall should apply to this vehicle, I don't know what the vehicle went through before I purchased it. Cloth seats/leather seats, the service air bag "sensor" is still broke! don't have the money to fix all the "known" problems.
My vehicle was repurchased by gm recently. The dealership that handled the transaction was vandergiff Chevrolet in arlington, TX. They did not respond to my calls. They ignored my request. They did not follow through on the paperwork required by gm, and they lied to gm and myself regarding filing the "warranty' with gm resulting in additional time that I had to wait in order to have the vehicle paid off to my loan institute and the remaining funds to me so that I could acquire another vehicle.
