Speedometer/odometer Failure problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I own a 2005 Trailblazer ext and the speedometer does not work. It is a chronic problem according to research that I have conducted. It is a safety issue as well. Gm needs to take responsibility and recall the instrument cluster. The speedometer fails everytime that I drive it. The dealership stated that the cluster is going to run about $400, which does not include labor.

After filling up my gas tank the fuel sensor read empty and the gas light was on. Also, whiel driving the fuel sensor would jump around showing empty, full and the gas light would come on. The vehcile was still under warranty at the time so I took it to the dealership to have it repaired. The service rep at the dealership inidcated that it was a common problem with the fuel sensor and it would need to be replaced. He mentioned that I was lucky the vehicle was still under warranty because the repair was very costly. My vehicle occassionaly lurches when it put inot gear from being parked or idle as if it wants to just take off right away. I contacted gm on this and they stated there was nothing they could do, but I have researched and found that many others have has this same problem. Another issude I have had was my speedometer and entire dash cluster failing. While driving on the interstate my speedometer jumped to over 100 mph and then back down to 0. At that point it stopped working for a few minutes then started working properly again. Finally it stopped working altogether. I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the enitre cluster panel which cost me around $800. 00. Again, he did some research and found this to be a common problem. I sent gm a letter with a copy of the repair bill along with documentation of the many complaints I found online with the same issue. I heard nothing. I reached out with a phone call and was told the issue did not warrant a recall. This could be a serious safety issue. Please consider a recall as it apperas this vehicle was just poorly made and many other people are experiencing the same issues.

The fuel guage stopped working in my vehichle and by the time the recall occurred in 2013, my vehichle has more than the limited mileage of 120,000 or less to pay for ha;f the repair cost. The speedometer failed to work at all back in 2009 as well.

2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS 4wd speedometer failed as driving down the freeway. Was going approxiamately 60 mph and speedometer registerd 10 mph. It corrected it self and for a couple days it was fine again. Then it started repeating same failure, and stayed the same. It was taken into a GMC dealer and the repair was done. The speedometer was replaced, with a total bill of $463. 09, paid my myself, since the warranty was just barely over.
