2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Electrical System Problems

Transmission doesn’t have 3rd or 4th gear. Vehicle was smoking under hood. Found out after buying it it has flood damage. Mechanic said there was water in the transmission when inspected. Vehicle needs catylic converter sensor and vehicle has bad ground wire. Seller didn’t inform me of any of these issues and he said it was in good shape and very reliable.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING LOCALLY YESTERDAY 7/1/18 AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT A SLOW SPEED. SHE LOST CONTROL AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SHE WAS INJURED. THE CARS BRAKE LIGHTS HAD JUST GONE OUT AND THE BLOWER IS GOING ON AND OFF. I ASSUME THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FOR WHICH MY VIN IS NOT DISPLAYING A RECALL. THERE IS NOW DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE FENDER, CLEARLY DISPLAYING THAT THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL, BASED ON THE 2 VEHICLE IMPACT POINTS.

2003 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER, AT ENGINE START UP, DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES DO NOT COME ON, TURN KEY OFF AND BACK ON, DASH PANEL (CLUSTER) STILL DOES NOT FUNCTION. TEST DROVE TO SEE IF DASH WOULD COME ON, IT DID NOT. PARKED TBLAZER, TRIED STARTING AGAIN, STILL NOTING. DID THIS PROCEDURE 5 TIMES AND STILL DASH NOT WORKING. PARKED TBLAZER IN DRIVEWAY, WENT OUT TO START TBLAZER AN HOUR LATER AT DASH WORKED. CURRENTLY A DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD AS THE DASH CLUSTER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, ONLY INTERMITTENT. DASH CLUSTER RECALL

FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, EVERY PART OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL SEEMS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW ME DOING 40 MPH OVER MY ACTUAL SPEED, OR WILL SHOW ME DOING 120 WHILE I AM SITTING STILL. THE OIL PRESSURE WILL SOMETIMES SHOW THAT THERE IS NO PRESSURE AT ALL, OR THE TEMP IS AS FAR AS IT CAN GO ON THE HOT SIDE. ALL OF THESE ISSUES DISAPPEAR AFTER A WHILE, AND THEN FUNCTION NORMALLY. THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BE TIED TOGETHER, BECAUSE AT TIMES SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS ARE WORKING FINE, BUT 2 OTHERS ARE NOT.

Mileage: 124,000

MULTIPLE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THE TACHOMETER IS READING 5,000 RPM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND 7,000 RPM WHEN GOING 15 MPH. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE GAUGE SITS AT 2,000. THE SPEEDOMETER IS CLICKING UP (NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE CORRECT SPEED). AND IT SHOWING A LESSER SPEED THEN I AM GOING. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS IT IS GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR BUT WILL SLOWLY DROP DOWN TO ZERO. BOTH OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS SHOWING 7,000 RPM, AFRAID I WAS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AND RUIN MY CAR.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM MY HUSBAND'S DECEASED MOTHER'S ESTATE AND IT HAD A RECALL ON THE LIGHTING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TAIL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS 83 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THE VEHICLE REAR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN I BRAKE ONLY ONE THAT IS THE THIRD LIGHT ON TOP OF CAR. GM (CHEVROLET) I LIVE ON A VERY LIMITED INCOME AND DUE TO DISABILITY AS WELL. MY INCOME IS 1330 A MONTH. HOW CAN I GET THIS FIXED? THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS, AS I STATED WE FIXED IT ONCE IT SEEMS TO BE THAT IT MAY GET HOT AND BLOWS FUSES AND THEN I HAVE NO IDEA I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD REAR END ME AND KILL THEMSELVES AND OR MYSELF. PLEASE HELP ME IN UNDERSTANDING ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THEIR DEFECTS AS THEY DID IT ONCE WHEN IT WAS RECALLED AND WE ALSO JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. PAID ABOUT 5 THOUSAND FOR IT. EXCELLENT CONDITION. OTHER THAN THE LIGHTING SYSTEM NOT WORKING ONLY ON AND OFF. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I FIND IT UNFAIR THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY ARE PAID BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS AND WILL RECUR. WE HAVE ACTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM ONCE BUT APPARENTLY SOMETHING IS WRONG THAT WE CANNOT SECURE THE ISSUE PROPERLY. KINDEST REGARDS [XXX].

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (DASHBOARD). ALL GAUGES INTERMITTENTLY QUITS WORKING, ON STARTUP, SITTING RUNNING OR IN MOTION. TACHOMETER NEVER READS CORRECTLY. CAN OCCASIONALLY GET GAUGES TO RESET BY CLICKING IGNITION BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN RUN AND START POSITIONS. I KNOW OF 5 OTHER VEHICLE'S THAT ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

"TAKATA RECALL" WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING BOUT 70MPH AND I HEAR A NOSIE ON THE ROOF AND THEN I SAW MY WHOLE 3RD BREAK LIGHT ASMBLEY BREAK OFF AND FLY INTO THE AIR AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN BACK OF ME THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF IT FLY'S OFF AND HIT A CAR IN BACK OF YOU AND I WAS DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE SUV ITS A POOR DESIGN AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES.

MY WIFE STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND CAME IN AND SAID THAT THE GUAGES STOPPED WORKING, I WENT OUT TO SEE, TURNED THE IGNITION ON A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY CAME ON AND IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEY WENT OFF AND ARE STILL NOT WORKING. THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AT 2666 MADISON 248 FREDERICKTOWN MO. IT HAS THE SAME AS THE ONES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN OTHER 2003 RECALLS BUT THE TRAILBLAZER HASN'T HAD AS MANY COMPLAINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE ONE.

I WENT TO PICK UP MY GRANDSON WHO LIVES APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AWAY, DROVE BACK HOME MAKING IT 2 MILES. UPON PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAY WE BOTH SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF. UPON OPENING THE HOOD I DISCOVERED THE FUSE BOX SMOLDERING AND MELTING AWAY, SO I QUICKLY USED A WRENCH TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINALS. BEFORE DOING SO I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL ON BUT GROWING DIMMER BY THE MINUTE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN DRIVABLE CONDITION.

I PURCHASED MY 2003 CHEV TRAILBLAZER NEW IN 2003. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I JUST WENT OUTSIDE AND UNLOCKED IT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE VEHICLE AND LOCKED IT BACK. ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO LATER, I HEARD THE HORN START TO BLOW BUT THE KEYS WERE HANGING UP INSIDE THE HOUSE. I WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TRYING TO CRANK ON ITS ON SEVERAL TIMES. THEN I SMELLED SOMETHING AND RAISED THE HOOD AND THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD WAS MELTING. WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BUT IT HAD ALREADY MELTED THE BOX BY THAT TIME. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR NOT. I NEED FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHY A VEHICLE WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN DRIVING IT AT THE TIME AND IF HOPEFULLY THERE IS SOME KIND OF RECALL BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME IT WILL TAKE TO FIX IT. THEY SAID IT DESTROYED ALL THREE WIRING HARNESSES. ??

IN 2010 I HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION STARTER SWITCH BECAUSE MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT START. THIS COST 300.00 PLUS THE TOW CHARGE. ON MAY 7TH. 2015 I HAD TO HAVE THE SAME SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN, NOW NOT TWO WEEKS LATER THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY TRAILBLAZER, AND I COULD CONTACT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND SEE IF THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO. I KNOW WHAT THAT INFORMATION WILL BE, BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL REPAIR IT, AND THAT WILL COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. THANKS TO GENERAL MOTORS.

ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO ALL DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS QUIT WORKING, OR ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS THE SPEED ODOMETER AND WHEN IT GETS COLD IT DOESN'T WORK. AND THE BACK WINDOW LATCH DOESN'T LOCK EVEN WITH THE KEY. AND THE REAR WIPER ALSO QUIT WORKING AT THE TIME THAT EVERYTHING ELSE QUIT. *TR

Mileage: 166,765

THE BACK HATCH LATCH WILL AT TIMES GO FOR MONTHS, NOT LOCKING WITH THE INSIDE LOCK & SOMETIMES IT EVEN HAS TO BE SHUT 2-3 TIMES FOR IT TO CATCH & LATCH SHUT. THEN FOR SOME REASON IT WILL SEEM TO BE OK. THEN IT IS RIGHT BACK TO NOT LOCKING & HAVING TO SHUT IT HARD 2-3 TIMES TO CATCH. WHEN IT WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE INSIDE LOCK, YOU CAN NOT EVEN LOCK IT WITH THE KEY, THE KEY WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY SO IT IS LOCKED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS LOCKED UNTIL I CHECK IT MANUALLY I HAVE AT TIMES THOUGH IT IS LOCKED & WHEN I COME OUT OF THE STORE (OR ???BUSINESS WORK ETC..) I CHECK THE BACK HATCH & IT HAS BEEN UNLOCKED THE WHOLE TIME I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T LEAVE ANYTHING IN IT MY JACK, A TIRE, GROCERIES, CHRISTMAS ANYTHING, WE CAN'T TAKE IT ON VACATION, NOTHING IS SAFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER & OVER, AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES OVER THE YEARS. AND LASTING FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS, TO SEVERAL MONTHS AT A TIME. IT HAS BEEN BROKEN THIS TIME FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. I LIKE THE VEHICLE BUT ALL I GET IS FLACK FROM MY HUSBAND BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY ISSUE. *TR

I TOOK IMMEDIATE EVASIVE ACTION, PULLED ONTO AND OFF THE SHOULDER ONTO THE GRASS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RAN TO THE BARRIER FENCE AND WATCHED TO SEE IF VEHICLE WAS GOING TO BURST INTO FLAMES. AFTER CALLING AAA, ABOUT TEN MINUTES HAD ELAPSED WITHOUT FURTHER SMOKE SO I ASSUMED I COULD DRIVE TO THE NEXT EXIT RAMP AT COLVIN BLVD. (ABOUT 1,000 FEET AWAY) AND OFF TO A WENDY'S PARKING LOT WHERE I WAITED FOR A AAA FLATBED TRUCK. MY SUV WAS FLATBED TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP, FUCCILLO CHEVROLET ON GRAND ISLAND, WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, CODE NUMBER C0379. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS$222.66. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE. THOUGH NO VISIBLE FIRE WAS OBSERVED, THE SMOKE WAS A CLEAR SIGN OF PROBLEM THAT WAS SO HOT IT CAUSED OXIDATION OF MATERIAL INTO VISIBLE SMOKE. *TR

THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS STUCK BEYOND THE HIGHEST LEVER AND AT INTERMITTENT TIMES THE TACHOMETER DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE HEATING AND COOLING FAN WHERE THE FAN WILL NOT BLOW AT ALL AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT TO GET THE FAN TO BLOW AT ALL. THE AC AND HEAT ARE ALSO NOT CHANGING IN TEMPERATURE AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SPEEDOMETER AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL PUT FORTH ON THIS, ESPECIALLY TO ENSURE MOTORISTS ARE TRAVELING AT THE CORRECT SPEEDS ENSURING THE SAFETY FOR ALL AND THAT GM HAS NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF RECALL FOR THE TRAILBLAZER BUT HAS ON DIFFERENT MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME MODEL YEARS. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO LANSING WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER AND GUAGE FUNCTION.I BEGAN TO HEAR A LOUD HOWLING NOISE, PULLED OFF AT THE EXIT WENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP IN PORTLAND, MI WHERE MY WHEEL HUB EXPLODED IN THEIR HAND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FAN CLUTCH HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WITCH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT, AND LOOSE ALL POWER AND MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOCKED RIGHT UP AND STOPPED WORKING. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT A RATE OF 70 MPH BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 25 AND HAD NO POWER.

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.I AM 3RD OWNER. 2ND OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO REGISTER CORRECT SPEED. I AM CURRENTLY USING A AUTOMOTIVE SCAN TOOL TO VERIFY ACTUAL SPEED. THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS IS IT DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME. JUST WHEN I AM GETTING 19.5 MPH OR BETTER WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC. 1 WEEK AGO I HAD 20 VEHICLES IN BACK OF ME. TURNS OUT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS 20 MILES AN HOUR OFF. I WAS GOING 35 IN A 55 MPH ZONE.GOOD THING I HAD MY SCAN TOOL WITH ME. THIS IS A PROBLEM GM HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR. MY QUESTION IS WHY THE NHTSA IS ALLOWING THIS. THESE ARE THE SAME CLUSTERS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR THE SILVERADO. WHY EVEN HAVE AN AGENCY AS IMPORTANT AS THIS ONE IF IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS. THERE ARE MANY SPEEDOMETER COMPLAINTS.GM SAYS REPLACE THE CLUSTER .IT STILL WORKS SOME OF THE TIME SO WHAT IS THE REAL ISSUE. IT SHOULD HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED BY NOW IF IT WERE ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL. THE OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. WHY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST TRAILBLAZER OWNERS. NOT EVEN AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

WE OWN A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE GAUGES CONSTANTLY MESS UP.

I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS POST WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. ITS NOT SAFE FOR ANYBODY NOT TO KNOW HOW FAST THEIR GOING. GM NEEDS TO INITIATE A RECALL AND COVER THE COST FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE FOR A RECALL TO TAKE PLACE, WHY NOT BE SMART AND PREVENT A SAFETY HAZARD BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT, NOT AN OPERATOR FAULT.

"SERVICE BRAKES, AIR ANTILOCK ABS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON IN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT GETS 5 TO 10 DEGREES OR MORE BELOW ZERO. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT INTO GARAGE AND THEY CLEANED UP THE ABS GROUND CONNECTION ON THE FRAME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A PERSON DOESN'T KNOW IF IT IS ACCURATE OR ANOTHER FALSE ALERT. I WOULD HOPE THAT OTHER PERSONS REPORT THESE ISSUES, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. *TR

OUR SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING LAST MONTH AND STARTED WORKING AGAIN A WEEK LATER. IT STOPPED AGAIN 2WEEKS AGO AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. NOW I AM WORRIED ALL GAUGES WILL QUIT. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALER. HAD FOR 2 DAYS WHEN HAD FIRST PROB THAT WAS FIXED GOT BACK AFTER A WEEK. RAN GREAT. DROVE FOR 1 DAY AND RAN GOOD, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO PULL ONTO MAIN HIGHWAY AND WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. BACKED UP FINE BUT NO FORWARD. I FINALLY GOT IT TO CRAWL FORWARD. AFTER A LIL WHILE IT KICKED BACK IN AND RAN FINE TIL I STOPPED AGAIN. FINALLY I MADE IT HOME AND PARKED IT. AFTER THEY FINALLY CAME AND TOWED IT AND "FIXED" IT I HAD IT AND DROVE IT FOR 1 DAY AND HAD SAME PROBLEM. AFTER IT SAT FOR A WHILE IT DID GO AGAIN. PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AND PARKED IT. STILL WAITING FOR IT TO BE TOWED AND "FIXED" AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY RIGHT THIS TIME. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT HAPPENS A LOT. SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE THE FAN CLUTCH OR SUN SHELL SPLINE. NOT SURE YET THOUGH. CALLED MECHANIC THAT DEALER HAD FIX IT AND THEY ONLY CHANGED A VALVE IN TRANNY THEY THOUGHT WAS BAD. SAID THEY HAVE ABOUT 3 MORE OF THEM TO CHECK BEFORE THEY REPLACE WHOLE TRANNY. I HOPE MORE PEOPLE RESEARCH THESE VEHICLES AND DON'T BUY THEM. *TR

THIS IS JUST THE MOST RECENT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE 2003 TRAILBLAZER LT. SINCE THE VEHICLE REACHED ABOUT 47000 MILES I HAVE HAD REPETITIVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM: AC WENT OUT, RADIO WENT OUT, REPLACE ALTERNATORS THREE TIMES BATTERIES 4, REFUSAL TO START, SOME POWER VAMPIRE SUCKING OUT THE POWER, AND NOW I AM DRIVING ALONG AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPS WORKING. I GET TO THE GROCERY STORE AND SHOP THEN COME OUT AND IT IS WORKING AGAIN. THEN THE NEXT DAY, NONE OF THE GAUGES ARE WORKING FROM THE TIME I STARTED IT. I CALLED CHEVY AT 1-800-222-1020 AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ON-LINE COMPLAINTS. [XXX], AT CHEVROLET SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT IS SEEN BY A DEALER. I HAVE EVALUATION APPOINTMENT SET FOR 3/4/2013.

AFTER PUTTING THE DRIVERS WINDOW DOWN AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU IT WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. THIS WAS IN JANUARY, VERY COLD IN MICHIGAN. DEALER SAID MOISTURE MUST HAVE GOTTEN INTO SWITCH AND THE WHOLE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF THAT MEANS THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED WHEN IT WAS RAINING, HE SAID YES THEY CAN BUT FOR SOME REASON GM HAS A LOT OF DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW SWITCHES GOING BAD ON THE TRAILBLAZERS. THE COST TO HAVE IT REPLACED WAS $430 WHICH WE PAID SEEING HOW ONLY THE DEALER CAN PROGRAM THE NEW SWITCH. IT'S NOW ONE YEAR LATER AND THE SAME SWITCH HAS GONE BAD AGAIN, I CALLED THE DEALER BUT WERE OVER THE 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. IT WILL COST ANOTHER $430 TO REPLACE AGAIN. *TR

TACHOMETER QUIT WORKING FIRST, THEN SPEEDOMETER. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY INDICATED IT WILL COST ABOUT $1,000 TO FIX. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT THERE IS NO BULLETIN OR RECALL ON THIS SO GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NO GO OUT ON A CAR, NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES AND IF IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INSTANCE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. WHY IS THERE A RECALL ON OTHER GM MODELS BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER? *TR

Mileage: 113,500

SUMMARY: MULTIPLE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THE TACHOMETER IS READING 5,000 RPM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND 7,000 RPM WHEN GOING 15 MPH. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE GAUGE SITS AT 2,000. THE SPEEDOMETER IS CLICKING UP (NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE CORRECT SPEED). AND IT SHOWING A LESSER SPEED THEN I AM GOING. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS IT IS GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR BUT WILL SLOWLY DROP DOWN TO ZERO. BOTH OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS SHOWING 7,000 RPM, AFRAID I WAS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AND RUIN MY CAR. *TR

Mileage: 63,000

THE GAUGE CLUSTER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STOPPED WORKING OVER TWO YEARS AGO. FROM THE READOUT UPON MY DASHBOARD GAUGES, I HAVE NO IDEA AT WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING, HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK, WHAT IS THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY FROM MY BATTERY, OR THE ENGINE'S OIL PRESSURE. THE TACHOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER PRM'S. THANKFULLY I USE A TOMTOM GPS TO GAUGE MY SPEED, AND THE ODOMETER DOES FUNCTION, SO I KNOW TO STOP FOR A FUEL REFILL EVERY 250-300 MILES TRAVELED. THIS WILL USUALLY PLACE ME AT BETWEEN 1/4 TANK AND EMPTY. *TR *JS

I HAD GONE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND OUR 10MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THE CAR WAS WORKING GREAT ON 12-31-11 AT AROUND 5PM WE PARKED THE VEHICLE. ON OUR WAY HOME AT ABOUT 10:45PM WE GOT ON THE ROAD CAR DROVE FINE WE JUMPED ON THE FWY IT WAS FOGGY AND REALLY HARD TO SEE WE WERE ON THE 54 FWY IN SAN DIEGO APPROACHING THE 805 SOUTH THERE IS A HIGH ON RAMP WE WERE GOING ABOUT 55 TO 60 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I PUSHED ON GAS AND LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE IT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL AND BECAUSE IT WAS UP HILL AND CURVED VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE US WITH JUST HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I WAS PRAYING THINKING SOMEONE WAS GOING TO TAKE US OUT. EVERY CAR WOULD SWERVING AROUND US AND HONKING WE FINALLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FWY OFF OF THE RAMP AND TURNED OFF CAR TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT GAVE US ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO THE STREET EXIT. ONCE THERE AGAIN DID THE SAME AND AT THAT POINT WE PARKED AND LEFT CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER CALLING A FRIEND TO PICK US UP SINCE WE DIDN'T WANT OUR BABY OUT ON THE STREET THAT LATE AND ON NEW YEARS. I HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS AC ONLY WORKS ON 5 BACK PASSENGER PANEL MAKES CLICKING NOISE WHEN ON AND BACK AC WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. ALSO RPM GAUGE DOESN'T FUNCTION, CAR ALARM IS VERY FAINT WHEN PLACE ON. I HAVE 3 OTHER CHILDREN AND 1 CAR AND NOW DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SINCE WE DEPEND ON THE CAR. WE HAVE HAD SMALL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND ABOUT 5 TO 6 MONTHS AGO MY CAR ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER AC ALREADY WASN'T WORKING AND NEITHER WAS THE RPM GAUGE. WHEN WE REPLACED THE ENGINE THE CAR RAN GREAT HAD A LOT OF POWER AND EVERYTHING. THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE AND I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER/2002, I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL MAYBE THE FOURTH YEAR, GOING ON ITS 5TH; RIGHT BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE. THE FIRST PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. BECAUSE OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIX THAT PROBLEM, AT THAT TIME. TODAY, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS: WITH A LOUD NOISE, A STRUGGLE IN HORSE POWER AND A VIBRATION WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS AS WELL. I HAVE PURCHASED OVER TEN LIGHT BULBS FOR REAR BRAKE LIGHTS THAT CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION. I RECENTLY REPLACED A RELAY BECAUSE THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD CONSTANTLY GO OUT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON. I REPLACED THE FAN CLUTCH AND WATER PUMP BECAUSE THEY BOTH WENT OUT. I ALSO REPLACED A BATTERY AND TWO STARTERS. FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, MY VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE FUEL EVERYTIME I TURN IT ON. I AM ASKING THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT LOOK INTO ALL OF THESE CLAIMS. IT APPEARS THAT ALMOST EVERYONE THAT OWES A 2003 TRAILBLAZER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT YET; NO ONE IS DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT ALL THOSE CONSUMERS WHO HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL TO THIS COUNTRY IN PURCHASING AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES. A SINCERE THANKS. *TR

I HAVE BOUGHT MANY CHEVY VEHICLES BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IM HAVING WITH THIS TRUCK IM NOT SURE I WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER. LAST YEAR MY TRANSMISSION WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ALSO SAME WAS WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS YEAR I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WIPERS DURING RAIN STORM I WENT TO TURN THEM ON AND NOTHING. I COULDNT SEE SO I HAD TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE RAIN HAD LET UP(2HRS LATER). I AM JUST SPEECHLESS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE "RECALLS". IT SEEMS THAT MYSELF NOR ANYONE I KNOW EVER FALLS ON THESE LISTS, YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE MONEY WE ARE PAYING TO PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES THAT SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY KEEEP OUR BUSINESS. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT START. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME, PLACE, OR EVENT THAT LEADS TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS THE VEHICLE JUST DOESN'T START. I WILL LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR AN HOUR OR SO THEN ATTEMPT TO START IT, THEN IT DOES START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED IT COULD BE THE BATTERY, TEMPERATURE SENSOR, IGNITION SWITCH, OR STARTER. I HAVE REPLACED ALL BUT THE STARTER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE STARTER IS GOOD SO I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHY THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT PERIODICALLY WILL NOT START, LOSE ALL POWER, KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WITHOUT ABILITY TO RETURN IGNITION TO OFF POSITION. THERE IS A SOUND (LIKE A HIGH VOLTAGE SOUND COMING FROM A TRANSFORMER) AND EVENTUALLY RESETS ITSELF, UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO. IT WOULD NOT RESET ITSELF, RESULTING IN IT BEING TOWED TO A REPAIR CENTER. THEY INDICATED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND AFTER CHANGING BOTH, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE SOUND HAS RETURNED. THERE ARE TIMES THE REAR WIPER WILL TURN ON WITHOUT MY TOUCHING ANYTHING AND TIMES WHERE THE RPM GAGE WILL GET STUCK.

Mileage: 89,000

FRONT HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK, AND ARE WIRES ARE BURNT, AIR AND HEATER WILL ONLY BLOW ON THE FLOOR SETTING EVEN IF PUT ON A DIFFERENT SETTING, WHEN YOU TURN AC ON THE BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER COMES ON. WHEN STARTING THE CAR THERE IS A LOUD CLICKING THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE DASH. IF STOPPED JUST FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE TEMP WILL GO FROM NORMAL TO 260! AS LONG AS YOU ARE GOING AT LEAST FAST ENOUGH TO PUSH AIR THROUGH THE GRILL IT WON'T RUN HOT, BUT IF YOU ARE IN TOWN AND TRAFFIC IT WILL RUN HOT AND WILL NOT COOL OFF UNLESS YOU EITHER STOP AND LET IT COOL OFF OR GET TO WHERE YOU CAN GO FAST ENOUGH TO PUSH THE AIR! THE CAR WILL LOCK WHILE IT IS RUNNING AND IN PARK. IT WILL LOCK AND THE KEYLESS REMOTE WILL NOT OPEN IT. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I HAVE PUSHED BRAKE IN AND THE ALARM SYSTEM WOULD GO OFF. WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN THE CAR WILL TRY TO DIE AND AT TIMES HAD ACTUALLY DIED FOR NO REASON. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2003 TRAILBLAZERS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED! I AM WORRIED THAT IT IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE WITH ME OR MY CHILDREN IN IT, AND I SHOULD FEEL SAFE IN A VEHICLE! THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO NOT ONLY ME AND MY FAMILY BUT ANYONE THAT IS ON THE ROAD BESIDE US, BECAUSE IT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE AND I JUST PRAY THAT NO ONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS NEGLECT BY CHEVROLET!! *TR

SAFETY ISSUE!!!! I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND GOT WORSE THIS MONTH. SOMETIMES THE NEEDLE STARTS AT 50 OR 70 MPH INSTEAD OF 0 AND MOVES UP FROM THERE. IT WILL SAY THAT I AM DOING OVER 120 MPH WHEN I AM ONLY GOING ABOUT 45. OTHER TIMES IT WILL STAY ON ONE NUMBER AT NOT MOVE AT ALL. TWO WEEKS AGO I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE NEEDLE WAS POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE ODOMETER. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND THAT DID NOT HELP. WE UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY FOR 30 MIN AND IT REST EVERYTHING. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. WE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON LINE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF TRAILBLAZERS WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT WE NEEDED TO CALL GM. I DID. THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THE PERSON I TALKED TO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS 5 MIN INTO OUR CONVERSATION. SHE TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE MY TRAILBLAZER TOT HE DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE GUY I TALKED TO ALSO KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN LESS THAN 5 MIN. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND CONTINUED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH CHEVY TO SEEK FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. I WAS TRANSFERRED UP TO THE NEXT STEP WHERE A VERY RUDE MAN DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE THING AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH THE PARTS THAT THEY TOOK OFF MY CAR. THE SERVICE GUY A THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEIR WAS A CORE CHARGE ON MY PART SO HE HAD TO SEND IT INTO CHEVY SO THEY COULD REBUILD IT. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST I WAS GOING AND KNOWING THAT MY OTHER GAUGES WERE GOING TO FAIL AS WELL (SINCE THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED TO THE CLUSTER) IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. IT DOES NOT TAKE MATCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TO DETERMINE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT CHEVY IS NOT TAKING CARE OF. *LN

STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2008 WHILE LIVING IN MINNESOTA, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER STARTED SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS. FIRST, THE SPEEDOMETER, THEN AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER, MOST OF THE GAUGES LIKE FUEL, TEMP, AND OIL PRESSURE. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 100 MPH WITH THE CAR STOPPED. AFTER WINTER, THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER RETURNED TO NORMAL WITH ONLY AN OCCASIONAL BAD READING. I MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2009, AND WENT ABOUT SIX MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES, BUT STARTING SUMMER OF 2010, THE ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER READINGS STARTED AGAIN. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAD BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR TAHOES AND OTHER VEHICLES, BUT THAT THE TRAILBLAZER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE +/- $700 REPAIR BILL MYSELF. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY--NEVER GOING DOWN TO ZERO, GOING UP TO 80 OR ABOVE FOR NO REASON, ETC.--ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. IN A MATTER OF WEEKS, AFTER THE FIRST ONSET OF THE PROBLEM, IT STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER AND HAS NOT MOVED ABOVE ZERO SINCE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. LUCKILY, ALL OF THE OTHER GAUGES ARE STILL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AS OF RIGHT NOW BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY ALL WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN AND READ MANY REPORTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I AM SURE IT WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE INSTANCES THAT HAVE GONE UNREPORTED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKELY OR MERELY COINCIDENTAL THAT SO MANY TRAILBLAZERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. *TR

I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CLUTCH FAN GOING OUT AND THE CLUSTER GOING OUT ON THE INTERNET. SOMEONE AT WORK HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENVOY AND IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT AND THEIR CLUTCH FAN GOING OUT. ALL AT FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM FOR NOT WANTING TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES SO THE CONSUMER BEARS THE COSTS OF REPAIR WHICH IS ABOUT 500 FOR THE CLUTCH FAN AND THERMOSTAT AND 400 FOR THE CLUSTER.

FUEL GAUGE UNRELIABLE/ERRATIC. FUSE GAUGE WILL READ PAST FULL OCCASIONALLY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. AFTER SOME AMOUNT OF FUEL IS CONSUMED THE GAUGE WILL SLOWLY BEGIN READING WITHIN RANGE AND EVENTUALLY AS THE TANK EMPTIES IT WILL TYPICALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS, BEGIN TO READ WHAT I ASSUME IS A CORRECT AMOUNT. IT IS HIT/MISS AT EACH IGNITION TURN WHETHER THE GAUGE WILL READ WHAT APPEARS TO BE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. WHEN THE ISSUE IS OCCURRING, THE GAUGE DOES NOT DO THE ?ZERO? RESET CALIBRATION. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THIS COULD BE THE STEPPER MOTOR IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER (KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE) OR THE SENDING UNIT.

ONE OR MORE OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONS. THE FIRST INDICATION WAS THE GAS GAUGE, WHICH WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED, THE NEEDLE POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN, THEN WOULD CHANGE TO RANDOM AREAS ON THE GAUGE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A RESULT OF THE FLOAT IN THE GAS TANK STICKING, UNTIL THE NEEDLE POINTED TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE GAUGE AT DIFFERENT TIMES; NO RHYME OR REASON, AND WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A "STICKING FLOAT". THEN THE TACHOMETER WOULD READ 5,000 RPM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND 7,000 RPM WHEN GOING 35 MPH, AND WOULD POINT STRAIGHT DOWN AT OTHER TIMES. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ VERY RANDOM SPEEDS, NEVER CONSISTENT, AND SOMETIMES WILL READ OVER 120 MPH. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE READS DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES, AND THE NEEDLE SOMETIMES POINTS STRAIGHT DOWN. THOUGH THESE MALFUNCTIONS ARE RANDOM AMONG THE GAUGES, THEY ARE CONSTANT AS A WHOLE; ON A DAILY BASIS. ALL OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS IF I RAN OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHETHER TRAVELING TOO FAST OR TOO SLOW, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS INACCURATE, WHICH COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED, BUT FAILED TO REFLECT THAT ON THE GAUGE, AND SIMILAR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE TACHOMETER, WHICH COULD ALSO RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED THIS COMPLAINT, AND REALIZED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINT SUBMITTED HERE, AND TO THE MANUFACTURER.

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON MY VACATION TO FLORIDA. HAD ABOUT 63,000 MILES THEN. IT GOT STUCK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND STAYS STUCK UNTIL MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTS THE BATTERY CABLES. IT HAPPENS PROBABLY ONCE A WEEK. DON'T HAVE $600 DOLLARS TO FIX THE CLOISTER PROBLEM. READING ABOUT THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS PRETTY COMMON AND CHEVY SHOULD RECALL IT.

2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS 4X4 - THE GAUGES ON THE DASH BOARD DO NOT WORK. THIS INCLUDES THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, BATTERY GAUGE AND OCTAMETER. I'VE READ MANY BULLETIN BOARDS INDICATING THE SAME ISSUE. THE DASHBOARDS FOR THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED.*TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPM DIAL FAILS TO MOVE AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS BEGINNING TO FAIL. INITIALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER MADE A TICKING NOISE AS THE SPEED INCREASED, BUT CURRENTLY THE DIAL IS STUCK AT 40 MPH. WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL DOES NOT GO BACK TO ZERO. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED, THE DIAL WILL DROP TO 35 MPH. WHEN THE DRIVER ACCELERATES, THE DIAL MOVES AND REMAINS AT 40 MPH. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT IS NEVER SURE HOW FAST SHE IS DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND ISSUED AN IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN FOR THOSE WITH VEHICLES THAT HAD LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH THE SAME FAILURES, BUT WITH MORE MILEAGE. SHE BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000. UPDATED 08/31/09 *BF UPDATED 09/04/09.*JB

WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY SAID THAT DESPITE THE LAWSUIT THAT IS EVIDENT ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, MY MODEL WAS NOT LISTED. I HAVE READ ONLINE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I FIND IT ODD THAT GM KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT EXPECTS EVERYONE TO PAY $400-600 TO GET IT FIXED.

I HAVE AN 2003 TRAILBLAZER WITH A BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER(SPEEDO, TACH, GAS GAUGE, TEMP) ALL NOT WORKING! ALL OF CHEVY VEHICLES IN THIS CLASS( TAHOE, SILVERADO) HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR THE TRAILBLAZER. THIS SEEMS A BIT RIDICULOUS TO ME CONSIDERING THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE CLUSTERS ARE ALL EXACTLY THE SAME. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST AROUND $500 FOR THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF THEIR VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBERS. I HAD TO BUY A GPS SYSTEM JUST SO I COULD KNOW HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE FULL REPAIR COST, NOR DO I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO. I HAVE DONE PLENTY OF ONLINE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY RECALLED THE TAHOES AND SILVERADOS AND NOT THE TRAILBLAZER WHEN THE PART NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL. *TR

NOT ONLY DOES THIS PROBLEM LEAVE THE CONSUMER WITH A FINANCIAL BURDEN, SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED TO THE CONSUMER AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK OF BEING INNOCENT CITIZENS SUBJECT TO THE DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILES THAT GM HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO SELL WITHOUT ANY LOYALTY TO THE CONSUMERS WHO SHOW THEIR AMERICAN LOYALTY BY PURCHASING GM'S DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILES!!! *TR

ONE YEAR LATER, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, ACTUATOR ON THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING SYSTEM, AND THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE ACTUATOR FAILED.

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING DURING A COLD RAINY SPELL IN JANUARY 2009. AS THE WEATHER WARMED, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTING WORKING BUT QUICKLY MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AND STAYS AT 120 CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR REPLACED IN FEB. 2009, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD ALL FUSES AND WIRING CHECKED BY AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE HAS COME TO THE CONCLUSION IT COULD BE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

THESE SPEEDOMETER CEASES TO WORK IN COLD WEATHER. IT WILL SHOW 40 OR EVEN 80 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IT STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. OFTEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE INDICATOR IS POINTED AT THE ODOMETER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. NOT KNOWING YOUR ACTUAL SPEED IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT WAS TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER LTZ NEEDS A SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. THIS FIRST STARTED HAPPENING AT APPROX. 59,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 61,000 MILES ON MY CAR, AND GM REFUSES TO HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE TO MY CAR. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OTHER CHEVY MODELS, BUT GM CLAIMS THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM. MY ESTIMATE IS $390.00 + TAX AFTER PAYING $106.00 FOR THEM TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM AND TELL ME IT IS BROKEN (WHICH I KNEW BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER READING 92 MPH WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE DEALERSHIP GARAGE). I'VE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP, WITH NO LUCK IN GETTING THIS CORRECTED. I'VE CONTACTED THE BBB ALSO. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, I'VE RESEARCHED THIS, 100'S OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME QUALITY ISSUE AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A LOYAL GM DRIVER I WANT THEM TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND FIX KNOWN PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ONE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON 60 THEN AFTER SHUT OFF DID RIGHT. DID THAT SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. NOW POINTS TO N OR D AND THEN STARTS GOING COUNTER CLOCKWISE. DON'T HAVE $500 TO REPLACE IT. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS SPECIAL BULLETIN ON THIS BUT MY VIN NOR MILEAGE 71,000 MI DID NOT FALL WITHIN THIS BULLETIN. TURNED IT OVER TO "DISTRICT MANAGER" AND HE SAID SAME THING AND SAID CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ON THIS MATTER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON INTERNET OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH 2003 TRAILBLAZER. IS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DON'T HAVE THE MONEY (ON RETIREMENT S.S.) AND TRYING TO GUESS AT SPEED THEY ARE GOING. RPM ON TACH ALSO FLUCTUATES. I FEEL THAT TO HAVE THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON THE MAKERS PART. *TR

MY TACH STARTED TO NOT WORK IN THE COLD OF 07-08, THEN MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STARTED TO PEG OUT. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS READING OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS WHEN I AM PARKED, OR DRIVING. IT HAS NOT WORKED FOR MONTHS NOW. NO REPLACEMENT AS OF YET. *TR

Mileage: 110,000

ORIGINALLY, IT BEGAN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. EVERY SO OFTEN IT WOULD READ INCORRECTLY, BOTH LOW AND HIGH. AS IT HAPPENED A LITTLE MORE OFTEN, I BEGAN ASKING AROUND TO FIND OUT IF OTHERS I WOULD MEET HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF DEFECT, I FOUND THIS TO BE A MORE COMMON PROBLEM. AS TIME PASSED I SIMPLY IGNORED THE PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER TOWING A FEW CANOES UP TO A LAKE AND THE TACHOMETER STARTED READING VERY HIGH, DESPITE THE MOTOR IDLING NORMALLY. EVENTUALLY, THE TACH WENT BACK TO NORMAL, BUT SHORTLY AFTER ACTED UP AGAIN. ALL THE WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY, GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THE NEEDLE IS COMPLETELY INVERTED. THEN THE VOLTMETER BEGAN TO CLIMB, GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THE NEEDLE IS REGISTERING OFF THE SCALE. SO NOW THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE VOLTMETER ARE COMPLETELY AND OBVIOUSLY REGISTERING OUTSIDE OF THEIR SET PARAMETERS, BUT THE TACH IS OFTEN SUSPECT AS WELL. *TR

THE VACUUM HEATER/ AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY- THE VACUUM LINES ARE HARD TO FIND AND REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT COST $1000.00 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS A 2003 CHEVY BLAZER, I AM A MECHANIC AND I CAN NOT FIND WHERE THE VACUUM LINES ARE ROUTED. *JB

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. IT HAS JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY A FEW DAYS AGO. THE SPEEDOMETER READS BETWEEN 85-120 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAST I AM DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER THAT IT WILL COST AROUND $400.00 TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER REPAIRED. I BELIEVE CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT/REPAIR COSTS SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CHEVY TRUCK/SUV OWNERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE SPEEDOMETERS ON THEIR SUVS/TRUCKS A LONG TIME AGO.*JB

1ST INCIDENT (JULY 2004): WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH, VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. COULD NOT GET IT TO START AND KEY LOCKED IN IGNITION WHILE TRUCK WAS STILL IN GEAR. OTHER TIMES PREVIOUS, VEHICLE TOOK A FEW TIMES TO START. IGNITION SWITCH WAS INTERMITTENT. WHILE IN FOR REPAIR FIRST TIME, FOUND THAT WHEN VEHICLE STALLED, IT LOST IGNITION INPUT. CODES THAT CAME UP WITH SCAN CHECK WERE U1000, U1016, U1152, B1372 AND U1088. IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH NEW, FP#12450251-SWITCH 2.188 R. ALL OTHER FUSES AND WIRING TO IGNITION WERE FOUND TO BE "OK". 2ND-CURRENT INCIDENT (OCTOBER 2006): VEHICLE TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO START (SAME AS ORIGINAL PROBLEM). VEHICLE WOULD TURNOVER BUT WOULD NOT START ENGINE. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BATTERY DIED. CURRENT EVALUATION FROM SERVICE TECH IS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH IS BAD. KEY IS LOCKING IN IGNITION AND CAN'T MOVE GEARS. TOW DRIVER HAD TO "JUMP" BATTERY TO GET VEHICLE IN AND OUT OF NEUTRAL FOR TOW AND TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. STILL WAITING ON EXTENDED WARRANTY PROVIDER TO APPROVE THIS REPLACEMENT (ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PROVIDER IS NOW BANKRUPT). WE MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET IF WARRANTY ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. *NM

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, TURNED VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES, WHEN RETURNING TO THE CAR AND RESTARTING, NOTICED THE RADIO DID NOT COME ON, THE CLOCK DID NOT ILLUMINATE. AFTER ARRIVING TO DESTINATION, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THE RADIO AND CLOCK BEGAN WORKING AGAIN, BUT THE CLOCK HAD RESET ITSELF(LIKE THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED). OCCASIONALLY, WHEN TURNING ON THE TURN SIGNAL-IT DOESN'T BLINK, JUST STAYS LIT UP. I HAVE CHECKED FOR BLOWN BULBS-THEY ALL ARE WORKING PROPERLY. THE RADIO STATION ID (ON THE SCREEN) SEEMS TO WORK OCCASIONALLY. LAST NIGHT, WHEN THE RADIO WAS ON PRESET 6 (105.9) FM100 SHOWED ON THE SCREEN. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED 30 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. ALSO, THE TACHOMETER, THE OIL AND FUEL GAUGES, AND THE ODOMETER DID NOT GIVE A READING AT ALL. THE FUSES WERE REMOVED AND PUT BACK IN, WHICH ONLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

I OWN A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS 2003 AND RECENTLY MY DIM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS BULB IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS AND RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHT HARNESS WIRING HAS BEEN SHORTED OUT AND FRIED. THE ODD THING IS THAT BOTH DIM HEADLIGHT HARNESS ARE FRIED. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE FAIRLY WELL AND TRY TO KEEP THINGS IN WORKING ORDER. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALL OF THE HARNESS. TWO YEARS AGO I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SYSTEM AND FINALLY AFTER REPLACING A HUGE NUMBER OF BULBS, THE CHEVY COMPANY RECALLED THE MOTHER BOARDS ON THE TAIL LIGHTS. WITH THE DIM LIGHTS GOING OUT WHEN EVER THEY WANT, PUTS THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS ON SATURDAY NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME AT 8:30PM, I NOTICED THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY DIM LIGHTS. I WAS NOT IN A POSITION TO GET THEM FIXED SO I HAD TO DRIVE TO MY HOUSE (WHICH-THANK GOD WAS CLOSE) WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS. THIS PUTS THE ONCOMING DRIVERS AT RISK OF BLINDING AND THE DRIVER IS PUT IN A AWKWARD POSITION FOR LIGHTS. *NM

2003 TRAILBLAZER - REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT PRESENT WHEN STARTED. WOULD ACCELERATE TO 15MPH. RATTLE OR GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING OR DRIVING OVER BUMPS. DROVE TO BEATY CHEVROLET KNOXVILLE TN TUES, 2/7/06. REPLACED THROTTLE ASSEMBLY & ADVISED NOISE WAS FROM MISALIGNED HOOD. TRAILBLAZER PICKED UP ON FRI, 2/10/06. PAID $200. EXT WARRANTY DED.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLOSED. NEXT DAY FUEL GAUGE APPEARS CORRECT. AFTER A WEEK REFUELED AND NOTICED FUEL GAUGE WAS INCORRECT AGAIN. NOTICED STRONG GAS ODOR WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED & VEHICLE SMOKING. CALLED TO SCHEDULE REPAIRS ON 2/28/06. WAS UNABLE TO MAKE APPOINTMENT RESCHEDULED FOR TUES 3/9/06. BEATY INFORMED THAT IT MUST BE GUAGE SENSOR AND NOT RELATED TO PREVIOUS REPAIR WORK SO ANOTHER $200. DEDUCTIBLE WOULD BE DUE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT FUEL ODOR NOR SMOKING. I DISAGREED WITH THE $200 CHARGE DUE TO VEHICLE BEING DEFECTIVE WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON THE FIRST VISIT. BEATY CHEV. SAID THEY DID NOT LOOK AT THE TACHOMETER NOR FUEL GAUGE WHEN THEY SERVICE VEHICLES SO THEY WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM. LOL .. I CALLED GM WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT WAIVE THE $200 AND SAID THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY THOUGHT GM WOULD WAIVED BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE GUAGE SENSORS. HOWEVER THEY WOULD NOT ADMIT THAT THEY DID NOT CHECK THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS BEING REPAIRED THE FIRST VISIT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING REDUCED POWER THROTTLE ASSEMBLY, GUAGE MALFUNCTIONS, AND GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING AND FEEL THAT GM SHOULD RECALL AND REIMBURSE THE CONSUMER FOR THE REPAIRS THEY HAVE PAID.

SINCE JANUARY OF 2005 MY 2003 TRAIL BLAZER HAS BEEN BLOWING THE IGNITION FUSE EVERY TIME I START MY TRUCK. IT WILL TRY UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND THAN NO POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY TURN SIGNALS GO OUT, AND MY GAUGE GOES HAY WIRE. I THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH MY REMOTE START, AND I HAD THAT COMPLETELY REMOVED. NOW IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CHARGED ME $20 TO PUT A FUSE BACK IN WHICH I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT STARTED, BUT IT WILL BLOW AGAIN. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE FUSE BLOW THE SERVICE MANAGER JUST CAME OUT AND REPLACED THE FUSE AGAIN AND DID NOT CARE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN. HE BASICALLY JUST WANTED ME TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP. GUESS WHAT BEFORE I EVEN TURNED OUT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN AGAIN. WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE FUSE, AND IT WAS FINE. IF I WANTED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT FURTHER IT WOULD COST $300. JUST TO LOOK AT MORE. I AM PRETTY MUCH AT A LOSS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILES, BUT IS ONLY A 1 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THINK IT WAS REALLY BAD THAT BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM , AND THEY WERE FINE WITH LETTING ME LEAVE. *AK

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL." I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE DEFECTS DISCOVERED ON MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS ON OCTOBER 2003. FEW MONTHS I DROVE MY TRAILBLAZER, I WAS STUCK AT THE AIRPORT BECAUSE IT WON'T START AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR WHICH LASTED FOR 3 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A CASE OF LOW BATTERY POWER. I WAS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THEIR REASON. I WROTE GM HEADQUARTERS DEMANDING AN EXCHANGE OR REPLACEMENT OF THE TRUCK. THEY DECLINED MY REQUEST, INSTEAD THEY OFFERED ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MPH, WHEN I CHANGED GEAR ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GEAR SHIFTER CAME LOOSE AND PRACTICALLY DETACHED IT'S LINKAGE. I PANICKED AND SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SHIFTER FOR FREE. THEN JUST THIS MONTH I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 50 MPH, I NOTICED THE RPM WAS BETWEEN 7-8 AND THE ENGINE REVVED HARD, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. THE SPEED REMAINED CONSTANT EVEN WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL FULLY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY.

I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH MY TRAIL BLAZER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS ANNUNCIATED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHILE I WAS MERGING AT A TOLL PLAZA IN CHICAGO THAT CLEARED AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING. I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH MY TRAIL BLAZER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE PROBLEM WAS ANNUNCIATED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER THE SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM RECURRED WAS ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND THIRD TIME WHILE MAKING A LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THE ACCELERATOR UNIT, WHICH I UNDERSTAND REPLACED A SIMPLE ACCELERATOR CABLE. THE CONCERN IS THE PROJECTED FAILURE OF A CRITICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE FAILING WHILE MERGING OR MAKING LEFT TURNS IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC AND THE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF GM ENGINEER CAN DESIGN AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT TO REPLACE A SIMPLE ACCELERATOR CABLE, I ASSUME THE COMPONENT STANDARDS WOULD EQUAL THE SAME RELIABILITY AS THE CABLE. RESPONSE BY CHEVROLET: GOOD EVENING! THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER.
