2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER — Complaint #917232
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK VALVE/GAUGE filed May 3, 2012
NHTSA complaint #917232 (ODI reference 10457430) concerns a 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER and was filed on May 3, 2012. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 14, 2012. The vehicle had 52,345 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:tank valve/gauge, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER cohort independently describe similar equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:tank valve/gauge failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
