Two problems related to starter have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After starting my vehicle sometimes the rpm gauge will not move, like the vehicle has not started, this has caused me to turn the key again causing my starter to make an awful sound, since the car was already running, rpm gauge however was not functioning. My speedometer will start out at 0 like normal but then will stick and go back down to 0 which doesn't allow me to see the speed I am going, at times it will stick around 40 mph. The fuel gauge does not work it always says I am empty. Which brings me to my final point, my odometer has started sticking, I gauge my gas mileage by my odometer, this could be a serious problem since the odometer is sticking, I could be thinking I have enough gas when in reality I do not, this could cause me to run out of gas, not to my own error but due to the malfunctioning gauges, which could cause me to stall and be rear ended. I travel on the interstate almost everyday and I am seriously concerned for my safety and the safety of other drivers.
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 Everything has been replaced by the dealer ignition switch, alternator, starter, exhaust, etc.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 ##.
