2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Seats Problems

“Bought vehicle 8/10/05. Fifteen months later on 1/29/07, I had to replace the front seat adjuster actuator assembly on the driver side. The safety hazard is that I had to drive 3 weeks with pillows propped behind me & using my tip-toes on the gas and brake peddles until the part was replaced. The seat stopped working a few months ago and it took a week to get an appointment at the dealer. That week I had to drive with pillows propped behind me & using my tip-toes on the gas and brake peddles on the interstate to get to work. …”

“While driving the 2005 chevy Trailblazer, my wife smelled smoke. She pulled into a parking lot and opened the door - and the driver's seat proceeded to billow smoke. The police and fire departments responded - the seat was ripped out of the vehicle and the vehicle and seat were extinguished with foam - the vehicle had a powered driver's seat but not heated seats. The vehicle is currently in an auto body shop.”

“New 2005 chevy Trailblazer. The selt belt is built into the seat itself. When putting on the seat belt, it crosses over my neck and across the throat.

Both the dealer and myself are getting the run around on this. …”

“The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the electrical system failed at least three times in the front passenger seat. Repairs were made under warranty; however, the last failure was the contact's liability. On a separate occasion, she heard a loud noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that there was a pinched wire issue with that particular year, make, and model vehicle that could affect other electrical components. The dealer made repairs, but the failure recurred within 48 hours. …”

“The transmission shifted hard from first to second gear. The transmission shifted so hard that it almost jerked the steering wheel out of the consumers hands. The second concern was when the consumer had to place the rear seat down to place items in the back , it required that the front seat be moved forward and would not go all the way back again. The last concern was that the vehicle could not use tire chains due to the fact that there wasn't enough clearance and the consumer was informed to use another traction device.”
