In motion or parked my speed and my tac just stop at random numbers. i have to shut my car off if my speed is stuck. everytime i do this my speed drops 5 mph so if i'm stuck at 20 i have to do this 4 times just to get back to 0 mph i have called chevy . they told me it will cost me over $800 to fix this. kinda strange the recall doaent effect only the trailblazers don't you think. i have been in the automotive feiod for over 10 years now and i know alot of chevy have had this recall so it's time for you guys act.

I am experiencing all issues identified with recall due to door switch sensor being defective. intermittent working of door locks not locking or locking and won't unlock . windows won't work sometimes, and sometimes they will . lights won't shut off in interior, or won't go on . delay feature where radio , and other features stay on after turning ignition off , and still in vehicle won't work , and sometimes do work . these things happen when vehicle is either moving, or not moving in park . they happen both city driving, and highway as well. all of these crazy electrical problems began several months ago, and when in the vehicle and i am in park, and shut off ignition, and the doors won't unlock, the key fob won't work to unlock doors either, and i am trapped inside vehicle until someone is close enough to hear me yelling for help, and can hand them my keys out of sunroof in order to put it into lock on the door and manually unlock the door. i absolutely must have this fixed because nobody near my residence to either let me out of vehicle, or to call . closest ...
Driving in city speedomoter quit working properly. dont know what speed is while driving car has 33000 miles, has not been driven in 3 years as it was my fathers and he no longer drives as he is 97 years old
Our vehicle died at a turn signal light in a dangerous intersection. no warning from the vehicle as it was running normal. it would turn over but no start. police force a tow out of the busy intersection right away. it starts up at the mechanics. they tested fuel filter and other stuff. we get on the highway in traffic and get 6 miles out and no warning we die and had to push the car to the shoulder on in dangerous conditions. sit for 2 hours and it fires up. so we found shade and waited for cool down. 2 hours away from home and it took us 9 hours to get home. we drove it to the store and when we were done shopping it fired up. went around the corner to other store and shopped 2 hours and came out and it would turn and no start. tried starting every 30 minutes to hour from 9:30pm to 1:40am and then it fired right up then drove 30 minutes to home. after researching and finding quite a few with same year make and model having the same issue we found that it is the pwr/trn relay plug ...
The headlights go off after a while of use as if the over heat and go off once they cool off they come back on but they go off after about 15 mins of use. only the brights will work at this time. so not only is it a safety hazard to me that my lights just go off out of nowhere then i have to turn my brights on which is a safety hazard to other people and against the wall you have a recall on the 2006 model for the same problem why would you not have the recall on the 2005 model that obviously has the same issue they go off on back roads they go off on the highway they go off in the city they go off in the country they go off anywhere that i'm driving anytime that the headlights are on that will go off after about 15 minutes of use whether the car is being driven or it is stationary. this imhas been a problem with this car for many years but i just recently bought it for myself and i feel it's an issue that you all should resolve ...
Takata recall all the gauges on my trailblazer have stopped working except the gas and temperature gauge. while i was driving 2 weeks ago on the highway my gauges just quit working and the needles dropped to the bottom.
Control panel on drivers door is no longer functional, during a heavy rainstorm i got out of my truck, closed the door and ran to my house. the next day the controls no longer worked. this is not the first time i've left my vehicle while raining but the first time the controls stopped working. this was a recall item in other years 2006-2007. chery does not recognize this being the same issue in the 2005 model. chevrolet trailblazer recall - #13v248000. fluid may enter the driver's door module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. a short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. the short may also cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire.
While driving at night i have an intermittent problem where the headlamp low beams just go out. i have moved relays around but it doesn't correct the problem. i have been stopped by police several times because i am blinding other drivers because i have to drive with brights lit. i see they recalled the 2006 and later models for this problem. i work at a shop and we see , on average, 10 per year that are 2005 and that's just in our small community. if i set a half hour, sometimes an hour then the dims start working again. the most recent time was may 5th of 2018
Gauges (fuel, battery and oil) quit working. so now the check engine light is on.
So i can't really drive at night as my dim lights just stop working. yes i have brights and i have been stopped twice and ticketed once for the issue of failure to dim. this is ridiculous as they are recalling all the newer models but not the 2005. i am frustrated because i have even moved relays around but nothings helps except to set on side of highway for a couple hours before they apparently col down? you tell me
My gauges on the instrument panel has stopped working. first, about a year ago my tac and oil pressure gauges stopped working. then a few months later, the temp gauge. now, last week my gas gauge stopped.

When you turn the heat or air on high the red wire on the blower motor resistor gets hot and melts and i have 2 little girls that ride in this vehicle. this isn't normal
