Five problems related to radio/tape cd player have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Odmoter 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 odmoter.
While driving my 2005 chevytrailblazer it just turned off without warning, as soon as it did the check enginge light and reduced engine power light came on(instrument panel and radio were still working). I tried a few times to turn it back on but it failed to restart. 15 minutes later it restarted and I was able to drive to my workplace a few blocks away, by the time I used my vehicle again(about 3hrs later) both engine lights had turned off. We took our vehicle to an auto repair shop to see if they could diagnose the problem, they recommended that we take it to a gm dealership because there were numerous codes showing up on the diagnostic machine. We took it to a local gm dealership in indio, CA (coachella valley Buick GMC). They too said that numerous codes were coming up but after 1 1/2 days with our vehicle they stated that that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. We took it in to auto repair shop and he performed the repair that GMC stated was needed. Upon picking up the vehicle from the repair shop I drove home, as I was pulling into the garage it turned off, a repeat of the same issue we were having before replacing the ignition switch. Since this was on sat,05-03-2014 we had to wait until the afternoon of mon, 05/05/2014 to take it back to the dealership, we informed them that we had their recommended repair done and that the vehicle continued to turn off. The following day they informed me that they could not replicate the problem and that we could pick up the vehicle. On thurs. , 05/08/2014 the vehicle turned off while making a left turn. 20 minutes later it turned back on and he drove it back to the dealership, they then had the vehicle until 05/12/2014; again they stated that they could not replicate the problem. It has continued to repeat this same problem, again without any warning or indication that there is a problem.
Driver side master power window switch does not work the driver side window at all! out of the blue this stopped working. Further research shows that the 2006-2007 models were recalled not the 2005! really, this car is "currently registered in a cold weather state which uses salt to clear the roads" (direct quote from general motors and isuzu recall 258,000 suvs, the associated press, August 19, 2012) since 12/2005 which is when the vehicle was purchased. Just because my vehicle did not have a fire "yet" but I have the "exact" problem which arose before these vehicles did catch fire, mine is not recalled? not only was the transmission recalled in 2008, I had a problem with the "blower motor" not working when you turn on the heat. You could only turn on the heat to no. 4. The truck was taken for service on 1/10/06, 1/30/06, 2/7/06 and 2/17/06 which was not even 2 mo. After purchasing said vehicle before the problem was corrected. In 11/06 the "fuel pump module" was replaced and covered "only" because I had the extended warranty and I had to pay the $100. 00 deductible, because I had gas but it was not registering. Again, I continue to have this problem. When calling gm on 7/24/13 about the window switch recall, I now find out that there is a "special coverage" for the "fuel level sensor". This is covered until 7/24/14, per gm (866-694-6546), unless you have more than 120,000 something miles. Was not sure of the mileage exactly since mine is below that figure. The window switch is a serious malfunction that needs to be covered in "all years" of this vehicle. While sitting at a red light with your foot on the brake, the vehicle will just rev up and want to take off. I guess this isn't a "big deal" either. You can't even listen to the radio to distract you with all these problems going on because the radio only comes out of "one" speaker! go figure, it is gm!.
Steering wheel malfunctions, car turns off when wheel is extended too far to the left. Seatbelts for last row of seats dont lock, radio is stuck, buttons dont control radio properly.
The numbers on the selection for the radio and cd paint has peeled off and I had the radio replaced once.
