2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Electrical System Problems

Electronic throttle body? No throttle control, motor will only idle, turn ignition switch off, then restart it will run. Reduced Engine Power light comes on. Happens for no apparent reason. Very unsafe situation.

MY CLUSTERBOARD IS COMPLETELY NON FUNCTIONING THE READINGS ARE NOT WORKING

AS YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR GO UNDER 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S OIL GAUGE WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. ONCE YOU ACCELERATE, THE OIL GAUGE GOES BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP WILL RESET AS IF THE GAS TANK IS FULL BUT THE GAUGE SHOWS IT'S HALF EMPTY. *TR

Mileage: 176,000

MOST OF THE GAUGES ARE VERY ERRATIC WHEN IN MOTION OR STOPPED. TACHOMETER JUMPS AROUND, OIL PRESSURE READS ALL OVER, SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO OR FULL SCALE, AMP METER DROPS BELOW 14 AND LIGHTS DIM WHEN THIS HAPPENS, (HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED 3 TIMES, THIS IS QUITE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BELIEVE ON ANY OF THE GAUGES. NO REPAIR SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

1 OWNER VEHICLE - BOUGHT IN 2004 & HAD 8 MILES ON IT. HAS BEEN VERY WELL KEPT & CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT AS OF 9/16/19. AS OTHERS, THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER HAS MALFUNCTIONED. SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING OVER A YEAR AGO & NOW THE FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED. PROBLEM IS WITH THE CLUSTER AS "ESTIMATED MILEAGE" STILL WORKS. HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER GAUGES ACT ERRATIC AT TIMES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHEVY IS WELL AWARE OF YET FAIL TO ACT. TO TB TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS THEY STATED THERE IS NO RECALL. COST OUT OF MY POCKET FOR REPAIR WILL BE OVER $800.00. SPEEDOMETER ORIGINALLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON HWY. IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN BUT FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY A FEW WEEKS LATER. FUEL GUAGE SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING AFTER STARTING VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING OUR VEHICLE FROM MYRTLE BEACH THIS WEEK WE NOTICED A SMELL ABOUT HALF WAY HOME THAT REEKED OF ROTTEN EGGS. THE SMELL WAS SO BAD THAT I BECAUSE NAUSEOUS AND DEVELOOED A SEVERE HEADACHE. AFTER WE REACHED OUR HOUSE AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY I TRIED TO CRANK THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK SO AFTER RESEARCHING THE SMELL AND POSSIBLE CAUSES WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY FOR THE VEHICLE AND CHANGED THE BATTERY OURSELVES WHICH CAUSED MY HUSBAND TO DEVELOP A SEVERE COUGH AND UPPER RESPITORY PROBLEMS DUE TO THE BOILING THAT WAS OCCURING INSIDE THE BATTERY. HENCE THE SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS.

NO ACCIDENT. THIS IS A PART RECALL. I WAS WANDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FAN CONTROL MODULE. I SEEN WHERE THE ONE I HAVE ON MY CAR IS REPLACED WITH A NEW TYPE. MY FAN NOW ONLY WORKS ON ONE SPEED. THE OTHER 4 SPEEDS WILL NOT WORK. IT IS VERY UPSETTING,IT WILL ONLY WORK ON THE 4TH SPEED. I BOUGHT ONE TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE BUT IT WILL NOT WORK ON MY CAR. WHAT IS THE NUMBER I SHOULD BE USING. IF THIS IS A GM FREE REPLACEMENT PLEASE SEND ME ONE. THANKS. MY HUSBAND IS A RETIRED GM WORKER. *TR

THE PROBLEMS STARTED IN 2006 AND WERE VERY INTERMITTENT. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, LIGHTS, BATTERY , AND OTHER UNKNOWN ITEMS. THE DEALER CHECK THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN IT STARTED, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SOMETIMES, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, CHECK ANY FUSES AND RELAYS, AND THEN THEY WOULD COME BACK ON. THE NEXT ELECTRICAL ISSUE WAS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, WHICH ON A TRIP ACROSS TO FLORIDA IT WOULD BE ERRATIC AND INDICATE I WAS TRAVELING OVER 120 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY GPS SAID I WAS DRIVING AT 65. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH REPLACING MULTIPLE BATTERIES WHICH GO DEAD EVERY 4 OR 5 DAYS DEPENDING ON USAGE. AFTER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, EACH OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL ITEM WORKED ON AND OFF. THIS INCLUDES THE GAS TANK GAUGE, THE AMMETER, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, TACHOMETER, AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. THEY ALL WORKED ON AND OFF FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS, AND NOW NONE OF THESE VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HAVE WORKED FOR OVER 2 YEARS. I WONDER IF THE ELECTRONICS THAT EFFECT THE AIR BAGS WOULD WORK IF I EVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE REPLACED MANY BATTERIES, I STILL HAVE TO CHARGE EACH ONE EVERY 4 OR 5 DAYS OR I CANNOT START THE TRUCK. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER, AND THEIR RELATED GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HEAR THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE GMC-ENVOY WHICH IS THE SAME RELATED PARTS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE TRAILBLAZER? I AM DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES AND HOPING FOR THE RECALL THAT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. THANK GOD I HAVE A 97 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT RUNS WELL. I WISH [XXX] WOULD READ THIS.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT A DEALERSHIP IN 2010. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE BUT IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER. THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS ALL MY GAUGES STOPPED WORKING EXCEPT MY SPEEDOMETER. IN 2012 I WAS DRIVING AND AT TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN A DAY APART, WHILE I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT OR GAS STATION, MY VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE FREE TESTS DONE AND NOTHING WAS SHOWING UP AS ABNORMAL. AROUND 2013 MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A REAL HIGH PITCH SQUEALING SOUND DURING START UP AND WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK MY CAR INTO SINCE IT NEEDED A NEW WATER PUMP AND THEY SAID THAT THE HIGH PITCH SOUND COULD BE FIXED BUT WASN'T A SAFETY CONCERN. IN 2014 JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, AGAIN I WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION AND MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON AND HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL INTO A SPOT BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START MY KEYS WERE STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND IT COULD NOT BE JUMP STARTED. AFTER TAPING THE BATTERY THE KEYS CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT STARTS NOW BUT NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL INSIDE THE VEHICLE WORKS. AT THIS POINT IT'S NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AND THE FACT THAT I CAN'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS AND THE AIR BLOWS ONLY HOT. THE STEREO DOESN'T WORK, THE SEATS TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACK DO NOT WORK. THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS WORK BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING DO NOT WORK. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS WORK. *TR

I CAN START MY VEHICLE AND THE GAUGES STARTED STICKING. I AM CONSTANTLY BEING SHOCKED BY THE DRIVER DOOR. MY GAUGES NO LONGER WORK AT ALL AND HAVE COMPLETELY WENT HAYWIRE. I HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, HOW FAST I AM GOING. MY CRUISE CONTROL EITHER AT TIMES INCREASES MY SPEED OR DOES NOT HOLD THE SPEED. I HAVE TO USE A GPS DEVICE TO KNOW APPROXIMATE SPEED. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS TONS OF ISSUES. *TR

TRUCK CUT OFF WHILE IN PARK. SMELT BURNING SMELL, AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SOMEONE RAISED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE COMPUTER ELECTRICAL BOX WAS BURNING. THE COVER WAS MELTED THROUGH FROM THE BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND THEN STARTED BACK UP ON IT'S OWN. SECURITY LIGHTS IN DASH CAME ON. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I READ ON GOOGLE WEBSITE THAT SOME VEHICLES HAD RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. A CHEVROLET PLACE IN LYNCHBURG VA TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THAT IS NOT WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. ME AND MY DAUGHTER AND 3 OTHERS COULD HAVE DIED IF THIS VEHICLE HAD OF EXPLODED. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME HELP IN THIS MATTER. THANKS *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED GOING BAD IN 2006 AND EVERY YEAR ANOTHER GAUGE IS FAULTY - FIRST IT WAS THE GAS GAUGE, NEXT THE OIL, ETC AND 4 YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $800 TO FIX IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AT THE TIME AND THIS IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS AND EVEN CALLED GM - NO HELP AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THIS. I WOULD APPRECIATE HELP WITH THIS AND FEEL THAT GM HAS KNOWN THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. I DRIVE A LOT OF KIDS IN MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. *JS

MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING THIS SUV, THE ENGINE HAS JUST SHUT OFF. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. HOWEVER IT IS SCARY AND WE HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. THE WORST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS GETTING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THIS PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE.

I PURCHASED MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH 35000 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER. AT 75000 MILES THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED CLICKING AS IF LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY STRANGE AND I WOULD NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. JUST HIM SAYING DEFINITELY STRANGE TO MY EARS SAID EXPENSIVE. MY SISTER HAD THE SAME VEHICLE DIFFERENT COLOR AND HERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW HOW STRANGE IS THAT? I BROKE THE APPOINTMENT AND GOT USED TO THE CLICKING. SOMETIMES IT WOULD STOP FOR A WEEK OR SO AND CLICK SOME MORE. THE CLICKING WAS LOUD AS IF YOU COULD IMAGINE THE SOUND WHEN YOU LOCK ALL THE DOORS WITH ONE CLICK. CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK EVERY HALF MINUTE OR SO. THEN THE TACHOMETER WENT NUTS. SOMETIMES IT WORKED SOMETIMES IT DIDN'T. SAME WITH THE GAS GAGE, OIL PRESSURE, TEMP GAGE AND BATTERY. ONCE THE WIPERS WOULDN'T COME ON WHILE BEING CAUGHT IN A RAIN STORM. THE STARTED WORKING AGAIN ABOUT 15 MILES LATER. NOW THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ARE ACTING UP SETTING OFF THE ALARM. I NO LONGER LOCK THE DOORS DUE TO THE ALARM GOING OFF FOR NO REASON. DEACTIVATING THE ALARM CAN BE A CHORE AS PUSHING THE CORRECT BUTTON TO SHUT IT UP ONLY WORKS AFTER PUSHING IT A FEW TIMES. WE HAVE CHECKED FOR PINCHED WIRES AND CHECKED THE FUSES TO NO AVAIL. WITHOUT THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I WOULD BE ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER! *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT AN ELECITRICAL MESS. FIRST MY HEAD LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT ONCE A MONTH, THEN A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH, THEN ONCE A WEEK. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED DOING THE SAME. OUR FAMLIY MECHHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, HE JUST KEPT REPLACING THEM AND SENDING THE BAD BULBS IN FOR WARRANTY. A COUPLE TIMES THE PIGTAILS AND LAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACES. ALSO 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK WITH NO HEAD LIGHTS ON. I TOOK IT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AFTER THE THIRD TIME ABD APPARENTLY MY FUSE BOX WAS MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SPENT OVER 1000.00 DOING THAT AND IT WORKED OKAY FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEN HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT AGAIN AND BRAKE TLIGHTS AS WELL. NOT ONCE A WEEK, BUT STILL ABOUT ONCE A MONTH OR EVERY OTHER MONTH. RECENTLY MY DRIVERS WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE MASTER SWITCH TO LOCK MY CAR OR ROLL UP MY WINDOWS. THE CLUSTER PANEL IN THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, HAD TWO SENSORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE, PARKING BRAKE, AND CRUSIE CONTROL WOULD STOP WORKING ALL AT ONCE AND THE LIGHTS WOULD BE LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I WASNT' ABLE TO USE ANY OF THEM UNTIL THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ALSO THE POWER SHORTED OUT IN MY SIDE MIRROS, SO I CAN'T ADJUST THE MIRRORS WITH THE CONTROL OR THEY START TILITING BACK AND FORTH LIKE CRAZY ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND ADJUST THEM MANUALLY. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL, THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I WILL NOT BE BUYING A GM CAR WHILE I LOOK FOR A NEW CAR SOON. *JS

THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE SECOND OR THIRD INCIDENT WHERE THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION, BLAZER WAS IN PARK THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON SO DID THE RADIO ANYTHING THAT IS TYPICALLY ON DURING AUX, BUT THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF A LONG PROBLEM THAT LEAD TO ME TRADING OFF..THE KEY GETS STUCK YOU CAN NOT REMOVE IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO GO BAD, IT WOULD BEGIN TO HAPPEN OFTEN THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT ABOVE 3RD GEAR, ALSO SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE IN SEPT OF 2011 THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE BLAZER DIED 3 TIMES GAUGES ON DASH WOULD PERIODICLY STOP WORKING. MY SERVICE 4 WHEEL WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY THE KEY ISSUE WAS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM BUT IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE OTHER THINGS WENT WRONG. WHEN THE KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGINTION AS STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY IN THE BEGINNING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ACT OUT ONCE YOU TOOK IT OUT OF PARK IT WAS NOTICEABLE BUT AS THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE IT STARTED HAPPENING DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED ONCE THAT I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT THROUGH 1-2-3 BUT NEVER GOT OUT OF 3. I SHOULD STATE THAT WHEN THE KEY WAS STUCK I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY SHIFT THROUGH THE FIRST AND SECOND THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE OTHERWISE THE CAR HAD NO POWER BECAUSE IT WOULD BE STUCK IN THE HIGHER GEAR.TRIED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AS THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DASH FOR THE 2003 MODEL AND THEY TOLD US IT WASNT A SAFETY PROBLEM I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW RANDOM LOSS OF POWER AND RANDOM CAR DYING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE LIST OF GM RECALLS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH ABOUT THE TRAILBLAZERS, AND IT BOTHERS ME THAT I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES LIKE THE ONES THAT I HAD.

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER. MY SPEEDOMETER HAND JUST STOPPED WORKING, IT IS STUCK AT 120MPH. I TRIED SHUTTING MY SUV OFF AND TURNING IT ON AND EVEN UNHOOKING THE BATTERY, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T WORK... THE DEALER SAID IT WILL COST ME $500+ TO GET IT FIXED.. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS?? I KNOW A LOT MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPLACED THE PART TWICE AND IT STILL FAILS OUT. I AM UNEMPLOYED AND HAVE NO INCOME AT ALL AND IT MAKES IT HARD ON GOOD HONEST PEOPLE WHO NEED WAYS OF TRANSPORTATION. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE. ITS NOT THAT FACT THAT I CANT PAY FOR GETTING IT FIXED, ITS JUST A HAZARD AND COULD MAKE MORE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, LIKE SPEEDING TICKETS! *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO FAIL. FIRST, THE RPM GAUGE NO LONGER WORKED. AFTER A LITTLE TIME HAD PASSED, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED, THEN THE BATTERY GAUGE, THEN OIL AND GAS. WHEN VARIOUS MECHANICS WERE ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR TRAILBLAZERS AND SIMILAR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY GM.

THAT WAS PROBLEM. PURCHASED A NEW RELAY NEXT DAY AND INSTALLED IT. 2 DAYS LATER, NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS AGAIN. POPPED COVER ON RELAYS TO FIND A MELTED MESS. LOW BEAM RELAY HAD MELTED ALONG WITH THE 15 AMP FUSE ADJACENT TO IT AS WELL AS THE FUSE BOX. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ON LINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

**INSTRUMENT CLUSTER** MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE OR DROPPING BELOW 0 WHEN I WOULD STOP. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. NONE OF THE OTHER GAUGES APPEARED TO BE AFFECTED. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAD TO ORDER IT DIRECTLY FROM CHEVROLET WHICH MEANT I WAS WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR 2-3 DAYS AS THE DASH WAS COMPLETELY PULLED APART. THE REPAIRS WERE AROUND $800. I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER INSTANCES OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE IN THOSE AND OTHER MODELS OF CHEVY. MY BROTHER IN LAW SAID HE HAD HIS REPLACED IN HIS SILVERADO AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THAT INFORMATION. *TR

HAD ERRATIC SPEED READINGS ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER (E.G., READING 140 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, OR STUCK ON 20 MPG WHILE STOPPED!). AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE BLOGS ALL OVER THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND STATING THAT THE ORIGINAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STEPPER MOTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. BASED ON THIS RESEARCH, I PURCHASED REPLACEMENT STEPPER MOTORS ON EBAY, PERSONALLY SOLDERED IN REPLACEMENT STEPPER MOTORS INTO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND IT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. WHY WERE THE STEPPER MOTORS NEVER RECALLED? *TR

BACK HATCH AND WINDOW WILL ONLY OPEN OCCASIONALLY IF I'M LUCKY. TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT ONCE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE HATCH OPEN TO FIX IT. THEY ARE OUT AGAIN AND I CAN'T GET THE HATCH TO OPEN NOW. I HAVE BEEN REPLACING HEAD LAMPS ABOUT EVERY 8 TO 10 MONTHS. HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOW GOING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT. I CAN FLIP ON THE BRIGHTS AND THEN WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND FLIP BACK TO LOW BEAMS, SOMETIMES THIS WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AND STAY ON AFTER I TURN IT OFF. HALF OF THE DASH LIGHTS FOR THE RADIO ARE OUT, SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME ON IF I TAP THEM. THE FEATURE THAT LETS YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THE RADIO WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY AND THE WINDOWS WILL STILL ROLL DOWN AS LONG AS YOU DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, IS NOT WORKING. BOTH O2 SENSORS ARE OUT AND HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. I PURCHASED THIS SUV BRAND NEW FROM A CHEVY DEALER. I HAVE PAID IT OFF AND KEPT UP ALL OF THE GENERAL MAINTENANCE ON IT. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO GET THESE ISSUES FIXED I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE OVER $2500.00 TO FIX AND THAT DID NOT INCLUDE LABOR. THIS SUV IS A LEMON, IF I WAS IN A POSITION TO TRADE IT IN OR BUY A NEW ONE I WOULD, AND I WOULD NOT BE GETTING ANOTHER CHEVY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS. I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS ON THE TURN SIGNALS AND TAIL LIGHTS BECAUSE A FRIEND HAD HEARD ABOUT THEM AND SUGGESTED A WEBSITE TO CHECK. I'M CALLING THE DEALER TODAY TO SEE IF I CAN GET THESE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF. ANOTHER REASON I WILL NOT BE BUYING CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WENT DARK. ALL THE OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKED WELL (RADIO AND STUFF) AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STREET, MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I PULL IN...

FIRST, ALL MY LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FLASH AT RANDOM TIMES (LIKE THE SEATBELT, ABS, CHECK ENGINE SOON, ETC.). THEN MY TACHOMETER (RPM GAUGE) STOPPED WORKING. NEXT MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. NEXT CAME THE SPEEDOMETER. IT WOULD GET STUCK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AS A STARTING POINT AND I WOULD HAVE TO SUBTRACT THAT STARTING POINT SPEED FROM MY SPEEDOMETER SPEED TO FIND THE ACTUAL SPEED. FOR INSTANCE, IF THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK ON 25 MPH WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THEN ONCE I PICKED UP SPEED TO 100 MPH, I KNEW I WAS TRAVELING AT 75 MPH. FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS THOUGH THE SPEEDOMETER HASN'T WORKED AT ALL. *TR

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS. AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL OR POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUE AT HAND. THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THE RPM GAUDGE. IT WILL STICK AT 3000RPM OR HIGHER. BUT THE ENGINE IS NOT OVER REVING AND THE NEEDLE STILL MOVES UP AND DOWN AS IF IT WOULD WHEN READING CORRECTLY. BUT DOESN'T DROP BELOW THE 3000RPM. THEN IT RANDOMLY RESETS AND WORKS CORRECTLY THEN WILL AGAIN RANDOMLY STICK AT 3000 EMPTY OR HIGHER. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS IS THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY FLICKER. NOT ALL THE TIME JUST AT RANDOM. I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND ITS HOLDING A CHARGE JUST FINE. THE WEIRD THING NEXT WAS I KILLED THE POWER. NO KEY IN AT ALL AND IT STILL FLICKERED ON MY DASHBOARD. THEN STOPPED THE NEXT DAY. ANOTHER THING I WAS DRIVING HOME 1 NIGHT FROM WORK. TURNED MY BLINKERS ON TO TURN ONTO MY ROAD AND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS SLOWLY COME ON AND SLOWLY TURN BACK OFF. MY HEAD LIGHT WIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BURNT OUT ABOUT A YR AGO WHICH I REPLACED. NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE BULB FOR MY LOW BEAM IS NOT BLOWN. IF U HIT IT COMES BACK ON. MY DRIVERS SIDE SPEAKER HAS NOT WORKED SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRAILBLAZER. AND IT WILL RANDOMLY WORK. THIS IS RECENT. I REALLY THINK THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AND MY CONSENT IS A FIRE. IVE HAD IT JUST UNDER 2 YRS. AND I'M ONLY THE 2ND OWNER AND IT HAD 34000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN JUNE OF 2011. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY LS TRAILBLAZER TO THE STORE, I GOT BACK IN TO NOTICE THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NO LONGER RESTING AT "0". THIS WAS BEFORE I EVEN STARTED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SITTING AT THE "55" POINT! UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE DID NOT MOVE BACK TO ZERO. SO AS I DROVE AWAY, GOING NO MORE THAN 10MPH, THE GAUGE SUGGESTED I WAS GOING 65! I WAS SCARED DRIVING HOME BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW MY EXACT SPEED. UPON GETTING HOME AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE GAUGE RESTED AT THE "50" POINT. SO I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE, THEN QUICKLY TURNED IT OFF. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOW RESTING AT "45". I CONTINUED TO QUICKLY START AND THEN SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, EVENTUALLY WORKING THE GAUGE BACK DOWN TO ZERO. BUT THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG. IN THE PAST, I HAVE HAD SMALLER SCALE INCIDENTS WITH THE TACHOMETER GAUGE. IT WOULD ZERO ITSELF AT 1 OR 2 RPMS, THUS INDICATING MY ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGHER THAN IT ACTUALLY WAS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW RELAY SWITCH IS BAD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL QUOTES FROM DEALERSHIPS AND LOOKS LIKE THE COST IS AROUND $400.00. (FOR THEM TO REPLACE AND REPROGRAM). THERE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND ROLL DOWN AND LOCK OR UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS OR WINDOWS FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES FROM CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WITH THE MAJORITY OF THESE SWITCHES GOING BAD, THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS, AS IT IS VERY COSTLY ANDNOT AT ALL SAFE. ESPECIALLY IF AN OFFICER NEEDS TO APPROACH YOU AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN YOUR DOOR FIRST. THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UNSAFE INCIDENT TOWARD YOURSELF AS WELL AS ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT.

I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THESE SAME ISSUES AND HAVE SAVED THE ISSUES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE STATING THAT THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND STATED IT IS $300 TO REPLACE A "INTERNAL FAULT IN THE DASH CLUSTER."

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER REGULARLY BECOMES STUCK WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR

Mileage: 101,000

INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. FIRST THE TACHOMETER - THEN THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR

SPEEDOMETER AND TACH WORKS ERRATICALLY. SPEEDOMETER WORKS APPROX. 25% OF THE TIME. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES MALFUNCTION AND SHOW IMPROPER READINGS. FOR INSTANCE TACHOMETER SHOWS 5000 RPM AT IDLE. ALTERNATOR GAUGE IS OFF THE SCALE. TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS ALSO SHOWING FALSE READING. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS ALSO FALSE. INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE. INDIVIDUAL GAUGES FAILED OVER TIME. *TR

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER PROPER SPEED. READS AT 0 MPH WHEN GOING 65MPH OR ANY OTHER MPH FOR THAT MATTER. AT NO TIME IS THE SPEEDOMETER EVER ACCURATE. *TR

Mileage: 78,000

MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 4X4 V6 IS EXPERIENCING SOME INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AS I HAD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ENTIRELY REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. THE FIST TIME, THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED SHOWING INCORRECT SPEEDS AT DIFFERENT TIMES, INCLUDING SHOWING 80MPH WHEN SITTING STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY. NOW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. NOW MY BATTERY GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, AND TEMP GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND AND ARE AT ZERO AS IF THE CAR IS OFF. MOST OF MY WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON ALSO. THE ABS, SEATBELT, BATTERY, AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. ALSO, THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT TELLING ME IF I AM IN P,R,N,D, ETC NO LONGER HIGHLIGHTS THE GEAR I AM IN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. HOWEVER, I WOULD SAY ONCE OUT OF EVERY 15-20 TIMES I DRIVE THE CAR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES WORK FLAWLESSLY. OBVIOUSLY THIS TIME IT IS NOT THE MOTORS OF THE GAUGES THAT ARE THE PROBLEM, BUT SOMETHING POWER AND/OR ELECTRICAL. I'M WORRIED ABOUT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT MY SPEED IS, WHETHER THE ENGINE TEMP IS OK, AND WHETHER THE OIL PRESSURE IS NORMAL. *TT

SPEEDOMETER GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE, TEMP. GUAGE NOT WORKING. ONLY THE RPM AND TEMP GAUGE WORKING AT THIS TIME.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER OPERATES VERY ERRATICALLY. AT TIMES IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AT TIMES IT REGISTERS WAY SLOW OR WAY FAST. THIS TO ME IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF DRIVING ON SNOWY ROADS YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST YOUR WHEELS ARE SPINNING AND THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. OR ANOTHER SCENARIO, TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE MILES PER HOUR IS REGISTERING BETWEEN 5 AND 10 MPH LESS THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRAVELING. THIS COULD POSE A REAR END COLLISION PROBLEM AS THOSE TRAVELING BEHIND YOU MAY NOT NOTICE THAT YOUR SPEED IS SLOWER. A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER IS A VITAL PART OF BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER, NOT ONLY FOR YOUR SAFETY BUT FOR THOSE AROUND YOU. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A "COMMON" PROBLEM THAN WHAT ONE MIGHT REALIZE. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, AS A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. THE SAME AS BRAKES FAILURE, THROTTLE STICKING, FIRE HAZARD OR ANY OTHER MYRIAD OF ITEMS ON A VEHICLE ARE RELATED TO THE PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION BEYOND THE OPERATORS CONTROL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU *TR

MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT GAUGES STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ SAYS THE WHOLE PANEL NEEDS REPLACED. THE OIL, BATTERY, TEMP AND GAS CLUSTERS STOPPED WORKING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD START WORKING AGAIN. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH STOPPED AND STARTED AND NOW NOTHING IS COMING ON. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL THAT I HAVE AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ALL LIT UP. WAITING FOR THE WHOLE THING TO BLOW. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT AT A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WILL COST ME 500 BUCKS TO REPLACE THE PANEL. I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING LIKE THAT. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE TO WORK AND I WANT GM TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME! *TR

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I THOUGHT I HAD A GREAT SUV. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNING IT DID I MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 KIDS. I CHECKED OUT THE CRASH RATINGS AND THEY WERE GREAT!! I LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT MY TB. LOOKING BACK, AFTER THE 4TH PROBLEM WITHIN THAT FIRST MONTH. I SHOULD HAVE RAN AWAY SCREAMING FROM IT, AS I DO NOW DAILY. THE LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN YOU DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO OUT. THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE TACH GOES CRAZY. THE "BELL" FOR THE LIGHTS (WHEN YOU HAVE THE KEYS OUT AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON, OR WHEN YOU HAVE THE KEYS IN AND THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN) WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. THE BATTERY GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. THE GAS GAUGE HASN'T HAD A PROBLEM LATELY. I AM WONDERING...DOESN'T ALL OF THAT CONSTITUTE AS A SAFETY PROBLEM?? I HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS LOOKED AT AND AM TOLD THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE..REALLY?? I AM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE GAUGES LOOKED AT NOW AND FROM WHAT I SEE IT WILL COST ABOUT $600-$800. WHERE OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE HAD, THE O2 SENSOR, TEMP GAUGE, OTHER LIGHTING ISSUES THAT I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF BUT THIS IS GETTING TO BE A BIT MUCH. I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT CAN'T BE FROM NORMAL WEAR ON THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE'S FAMILY REALLY GETS HURT, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS DOING 100 MILES A HOUR TACK DOES NOT WORK GAS HAND GOES WAY PASS FULL AND WHEN I STOP AND PUT $25 OF GAS IN YOU KNOW IT IS NOT FULL SO NOT FOR SURE IF OIL PRESSURE & TEMP GAUGE IS RIGHT BUT IT IS NOT OVER HEATING GUESS I WILL KNOW WHEN STEAM COMES OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD GM RECALL SOME OF THE CLUSTER WHY NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN 2005, HAD 56,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. AT 76,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT COMPLETELY HAD TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER $500.00 COST. IN 2007, THE DASHBOARD AND ALL THE GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY, HAD IT CHECKED AT A CHEVY DEALER THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND WAS GONNA COST WAY TO MUCH TO FIX. LATER IN 2009 THE ALARM SYSTEM DECIDED IT WOULDN'T WORK ANYMORE, OR IT WOULD SET ITSELF. (GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES OR MORE, WOULDN'T START EITHER TO RESET THE PROCESS), THE REMOTE KEY WOULDN'T WORK AS WELL. HAD IT INSPECTED AGAIN, FULL DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY THE CHEVY DEALER & ALSO BY FIRESTONE, EVERY ISSUE THAT THE CAR HAS IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING CONSTANTLY. HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND ON WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT, HIT THEM THEY COME BACK ON SOMETIMES, TAIL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, NO NEED TO REPLACE BULBS THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. FULL DIAGNOSTIC COST MONEY, I HAVE CALLED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO TO MAKE CHEVY PAY FOR THIS DISFUNCTIONING VEHICLE BUT, OF COURSE IT IS A BUNCH OF RED TAPE AND POLITICAL BULL CRAP. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE TOO MUCH MONEY WILL BE LOST AND STILL NO RESULTS. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THE GAUGES STILL GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL GO OUT AND THE ALARM STILL SETS ITSELF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. I PRAY OVER THIS VEHICLE EVERYTIME I GET IN IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER; WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY; ALL GAUGES, LIGHTS, ETC. ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING AND CONTINUE TO NOT WORK. I RESEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND IT COULD BE WHAT IS CALLED THE "CLUSTER BOARD". I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER IN DAYTONA BEACH FL. THEY INSISTED IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THAT MECHANISM FOR JUST UNDER $300. THE FOLLOWING WEEK (THIS OCCURRED IN 2010); THE EXACT SAME SITUATION RECURRED; SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY THEN AGREED IT WAS THE CLUSTER BOARD WHICH WOULD NOW COST ME CLOSE TO $700.00. IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF TO THE TUNE OF ALMOST $1K; I PURCHASED A GPS UNIT SO I COULD AT LEAST MONITOR MY SPEED. THE SPEED/RPMS NEVER REGISTER CORRECTLY; HOWEVER, SO FAR THE OTHER GAUGES SEEMS TO BE OK (EXCEPT FOR THE OIL PRESSURE, IT GOES OUT OF WHACK FREQUENTLY SO I JUST BRING IT IN QUICKLY TO MAKE SURE I HAVE SUFFICIENT OIL AND THAT IT'S CLEAR/CLEAN). MOST RECENTLY MY HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING; I AM ABLE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS, BUT OF COURSE THAT PUTS ME IN JEOPARDY OF GETTING A TICKET. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER - I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE CLUSTER BOARD AND THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES (LIGHTING). I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHEVROLET TAKE ON SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COST OF THESE FLAWS IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS VEHICLE. *KB

DASHBOARD GAUGES ON OUR 2004 TRAILBLAZER HAVE BEEN FAILING ONE BY ONE. NO GAUGES EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER HAVE BEEN OPERABLE FOR MANY MONTHS. NOW, ON FRIDAY 11/11/11, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT MUST BE CAUSED BY THE SAME ISSUES AS THE IDENTICAL WELL-PUBLICIZED PROBLEMS ON OTHER TRAILBLAZERS. IN ADDITION, SOME OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS (SEATBELT LIGHT, ETC.) REMAIN ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IMMEDIATE REPAIRS AT NO COST TO US, THE OWNER. THANK YOU. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING OUR BLAZER, WE HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS NUMEROUS OF TIMES INCLUDING THE SOCKETS FOR EACH SIDE. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO WORK ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. OR WE CAN SIMPLY TAP IT AND IT WILL GO OUT/COME ON. IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE BULB ON THE DRIVER SIDE REPLACED TWICE! WE HAVE SPECULATED THAT THE WIRES ARE LOOSE BUT WHEN INSPECTED, THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR AT THE SHOP (NOT CHEVY THEY COST TOO MUCH) AND THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING MORE THAN A BURNT BULB. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD THAT WAS NOT WELL LIT AT ABOUT 10P WHEN BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER PULLING OVER & DECIDING THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT HOME WAS TO DRIVE WITH MY FLASHERS ON, I CONTINUED MY WAY HOME. HALF WAY HOME THEY CAME BACK ON BUT BEFORE I GOT HOME THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? AGAIN, I WOULD SAY IT'S A LOOSE WIRE, BUT WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT ON BOTH SIDES? NOW,TONIGHT, WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING (11P) WITH 2 FRIENDS WITH HIM, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT; BUT CAME BACK ON. MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO FLICKER, LIKE THEY ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER/TOO MUCH. I HAVE CALLED A LOCAL DEALER & AM TOLD THEY CAN RUN A TEST TO SEE WHAT THEY FIND. THAT WOULD BE GREAT, IF I HAD THE CASH FLOW FOR IT; AS IT'S NOT CHEAP JUST FOR THEM TO "RUN" THE TEST NOT FIX IT...THAT WILL COST EXTRA. I AM NOT SURE HOW CHEVY FEELS THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS? IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT MY ISSUE IS PLEASE TELL ME SO THAT I CAN HAVE SOME ONE I CAN AFFORD TO PAY, FIX IT. BUYING BULBS IS THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES IF THAT WAS THE ONLY ISSUE. BUT FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S AN ISSUE! I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU, CHEVY, REALIZE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE & REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON JUNE 23, 2011, I CRANKED MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LT AND THE GAUGES (SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, ETC.) BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE AT A RAPID SPEED. THE SUV CUT OFF AND I ATTEMPTED TO CRANK IT AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO AS I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. I SLOWED DOWN, BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST NOR SLOW I WAS GOING. I PULLED OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED THE SUV OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 70 MILES PER HOUR WHILE IT WAS PARKED. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 70 MPH AS I MADE MY WAY BACK TO THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL, LITERALLY HUNDREDS, OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS ONLINE ABOUT CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING THIS MALFUNCTION. THE FIRST TIME MY GAUGES FLUCTUATED WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE SUV. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED IT AND HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS, SO I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A GLITCH AND THOUGHT NOTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. AFTER READING OTHER CONSUMERS' CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED MOST OF THEM HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETERS DURING THE SECOND YEAR AFTER THE SUV WAS PURCHASED. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ONE CANNOT GAUGE HIS OR HER SPEED WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN. IT'S DANGEROUS AT CROSSWALKS, SCHOOLS ZONES, AND EVERY ROAD AND HIGHWAY WE TRAVEL ON. CONSUMERS HAVE COMPLAINED TO THEIR CHEVROLET SERVICE MECHANICS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT MANY ARE TOLD THE PART HAS TO BE REPLACED OR THE ENTIRE CONSOLE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. I AM PERSUADED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH HAS AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE SPEEDOMETER. HOPEFULLY THIS MATTER CAN BE RESOLVED WITHOUT ANY TRAGIC ENDINGS. *TR

AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES MY TACHOMETER STARTED TO READ IMPROPER, LATER MY GAUGES BEGAN TO READ IMPROPER. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. BUT YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, IF YOU HAVE FUEL, IF YOUR ENGINE IS OVERHEATING,IF BATTERY IS CHARGING, IF I HAVE OIL PRESSURE. I AM ON DISIBILTY AND CAN'T AFFORD THE SEVERAL HUNDERED DOLLARS IT WILL COST TO REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND FROM A FEW SOURCES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I JUST TALKED TO GM, I WAS TOLD THAT IF I HAD IT REPAIRED TO KEEP MY RECIEPTS. BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 04 TRAILBLAZER ONLY ON FULL SIZE VEHICLES. SO IF I SPENT MORE MONEY ON AN OTHER VENICLE GM WOULD FIX IT AND MAKE IT SAFE. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE FOR MYSELF OR MY WIFE. *TR

HAVE CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY SAY IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND WOULD BE APPROX. $1500 TO REPAIR. WHY IS GM NOT CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE? THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE TO BE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS WITH AN UNKNOWN FUEL LEVEL, ETC.---- ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!!! *TR

MY CAR HAS ONLY 54000 MILES ON IT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SHOT. THE DEALER WANTS $600 TO FIX IT. MY SPEEDOMETER, OIL PRESSURE , AND GAS GAUGE ONLY WORK MAYBE 10% OF THE TIME. IT IS JUST TERRIBLE THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET WHEN THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DETECTIVE PART. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT 120,000MILES I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UPSET. THAT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. OUTRAGEOUS. I FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY, 2011, WITH THE VOLTAGE GAUGE TAKING A FEW SECONDS TO COME UP TO FULL VOLTAGE, ACCOMPANIED BY DIM VEHICLE LIGHTS, AT START-UP. ON FEBRUARY 6, 2011, THE TEMPERATURE, AND ONE OTHER GAUGE, STARTED MOVING ERRATICALLY. THE NEXT DAY, FEBRUARY 7, ALL OF THE GAUGES POINTED STRAIGHT DOWN (6 O'CLOCK POSITION). RESEARCH SHOWED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, ACROSS SEVERAL MODEL LINES, BUT GM IS SELECTIVELY REFUSING TO FIX TRAILBLAZERS, UNDER A RECALL. I VERIFIED THIS WITH THE DEALER. THE BATTERY WAS REMOVED FOR THREE HOURS AND A LOANER BATTERY INSTALLED. GAUGES WORKED PROPERLY. A BRAND NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED (AGAIN, AFTER THREE HOURS WITH NO BATTERY INSTALLED) ON FEBRUARY 10. AS OF FEBRUARY 28, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED, BUT RESEARCH SHOWS MANY INSTANCES OF THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRING AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW BATTERY. *TR

ON 1/23/2011 I WAS ON A TRIP, 77 MILES FROM HOME, WHEN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT CRAZY. I THOUGHT MY ENGINE WOULD BLOW BECAUSE THE RPM GAUGE WENT OFF THE CHARTS, THEN WOULDN'T READ ANYTHING. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER DID THE SAME. I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS GOING, ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS WORRIED, SO I MOVED TO THE LEFT LANE, AND STAYED BEHIND THE SLOWER TRAFFIC TO BE SAFE. WHEN I GOT HOME, I STOPPED AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT ALMOST EVERY TRAILBLAZER OVER 80,000 MILES IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE PROBLEM COULD BE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPUTER, OR ONE OF SEVERAL BAD MODULES. THE CAN DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODE, SO THE COST TO REPAIR RANGES FROM $600 TO OVER $1500 DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT TAKES YOUR REPAIR PERSON TO FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER MY DIAGNOSIS I WAS ANGRY, I AM TIRED OF REPAIRING ITEMS ON THIS CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS RARE, OR IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THE PROBLEM, AND AN EXACT REPAIR. ON ONE WEBSITE ALONE ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM I FOUND OVER 1,300 TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND ALMOST 19,000 TRAILBLAZER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL TRAILBLAZERS WILL HAVE THIS ISSUE, AND THAT GM SHOULD FIX IT, WITH A RECALL REPAIR. I HAVE SENT COMPLAINTS TO GM, BUT NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN GIVEN. *TR

Mileage: 108,321

MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND READS ANYTHING IT WANTS. YOU CAN BE DOING 25MPH AND IT WILL READ 110MPH OR YOU CAN BE DOING 60MPH AND IT WILL REGISTER 45MPH. THERE ARE A MILLION COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT GM SPEEDOMETERS AND OTHER INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS FAILING. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. GM IS JUST PASSING THE BUCK WHEN YOU ASK FOR HELP. JUST GO TO GOOGLE AND ASK FOR GM INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE AND COUNT THE COMPLAINTS.

GM IS HAVING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON MANY 2004 VEHICLES RESULTING IN GRADUAL DETERIORATION OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PERFORMANCE. IT STARTS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER FAILING, READING 120 MPH WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. THEN THE FUEL GAUGE, LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON, THEN WHILE DRIVING TO A FUEL STATION IT WILL SLOWLY CLIMB TO 1/2 TANK READING OR MORE. NEXT IS THE TACHOMETER, IT WILL BOUNCE FROM 2000 RPM TO OVER 6000 RPM (RED LINE) ALSO WHILE SITTING AT STOP SIGN OR PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE. FINALLY THE OIL AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGES READ HOT (PAST RED LINE) AT INITIAL START UP FROM SITTING 12 HOURS IN -3 DEGREE WEATHER. AN ONLINE SEARCH HAS FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM AROUND THE UNITED STATES EXTENDING BEYOND THE TRAILBLAZER TO OTHER VEHICLES. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS RECALLED ON GM TRUCKS BUT THE OTHER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE OPERATOR HAS NO ACCURATE IDEA OF MPH, RPM, OIL OR WATER TEMPERATURE AND BATTERY CHARGE. THE AVERAGE REPAIR COST TO REPLACE THE BAD COMPUTER BOARD IS $500 TO $1000. *TR

MY MECHANIC SAYS HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND SAYS IT WILL COST ABOUT $600 TO REPAIR. HE SUGGESTED CONTACTING CHEVY, BUT I HAVE SEEN THAT CHEVY IS NOT INTERESTED IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM IS ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE ENTIRE DASH GAUGES MALFUNCTION OCCASIONALLY, FROM SPEEDOMETER TO BATTERY GAUGE TO OIL PRESSURE GAUGE TO WATER TEMP GAUGE TO RPM GAUGE. I AM ONE OF THOUSANDS OF TRAILBLAZER OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM NOT ONLY IN THE USA, BUT AROUND THE WORLD, JUST READ THE FORUM ON EDMUNDS.COM AND YOU WILL SEE. I USUALLY TEMPORARILY FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF UNTIL THE GAUGES FULLY RESET, BUT THAT PUTS A LOT OF STRAIN ON THE STARTER. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO TRIGGER A RECALL BECAUSE CHEVY DEALERS WANT US OWNERS TO SHELL OUT $100 TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WE ALREADY KNOW AND THEN WANT TO GOUGE US FOR ANOTHER $700-$1000 TO FIX.

SPEEDOMETER STUCK/INSTRUMENT PANEL ON CHRISTMAS DAY WE WERE TRAVELING TO FAMILIES HOUSE TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS. 1.5 HOURS INTO THE TRIP, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY AND WAS AT 90 WHEN WE WERE GOING 65. PULLED OVER AND WHEN WE STOPPED IT INCREASED TO 120 MPH. SINCE WE HAD ANOTHER 3.5 HRS OF OUR TRIP AND IT WAS UNSURE EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG (SINCE THERE WERE NO DEALERSHIP/SERVICE STATIONS OPEN), WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. NICE CHRISTMAS THAT WE HAD, NOT. ON MONDAY (THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP WAS OPEN) I CALLED TO GET AN APPT. AND COULDN'T' GET IN UNTIL TUESDAY. WENT IN TUESDAY AND OF COURSE CHARGED ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, WHEN I COULD TELL FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET WHAT WAS WRONG (BY NOW THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STRAIGHT DOWN BETWEEN 0 AND 120). 1.5 HRS LATER THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT IS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (SURPRISE, SURPRISE) AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER SINCE THEY HAVE NONE IN STOCK. IT WOULD TAKE 4-5 BUSINESS DAYS. THE EARLIEST WE'RE LOOKING AT GETTING IS NEXT WEEK, NOW 10 DAYS PAST THE DAY IT HAPPENED. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP FOR A LOANER AND THEY OFFERED ME ENTERPRISE RENTAL FOR $40/DAY (MY EXPENSE). THEY COULD OFFER ME NOTHING ELSE, SENDING ME ON MY WAY. OK, CHEVY...SINCE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS STOCK DEALERSHIPS WITH THE PANELS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A LARGE DEALERSHIP. IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING AROUND WITH NO WORKING SPEEDOMETER. DID I MENTION THIS IS ALSO MY VACATION WEEK....NICE, BEING STUCK AT HOME CAUSE YOU HAVE AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE. CHEVY NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH THEIR COSTUMERS. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL OWNER SINCE 1994.

WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN 2007. BEGINNING IN 2008, OUR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO FAIL, STARTING WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. AT TIMES, THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED 15 TO 20 MPH SLOWER THAN ACTUAL SPEED, RESULTING IN UNSAFE AND UNLAWFUL SPEEDS. THE CLUSTER THEN FAILED IN THE FUEL SENSOR AND OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AREAS, AND HAS NOT WORKED IN OVER 2 YEARS. WHEN GM WAS CONTACTED, THEY INDICATED THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN LOOKING ONLINE AT FORUMS AND OTHER RESOURCES, AND TALKING WITH GM/CHEVROLET DEALER MECHANICS, THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND COMMON, RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILLS AND IN CASES GIVING VEHICLE OWNERS NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO NOT HAVING THE RESOURCES TO GET THE FACTORY DEFECT REPAIRED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER GETTING WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 15,000 MILES CULMINATING IN COMPLETE MALFUNCTION OF SPEEDOMETER AT 101,000 MILES. SPEEDOMETER NOW WILL NOT GO BELOW 40 WHILE STOPPED, AND WITH ANY SPEED QUICKLY REGISTERS 100 MPH; WHILE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS (USING MY TACHOMETER BELOW 2000 RPMS) THE SPEEDOMETER IS PRACTICALLY PEGGED OUT AT MAX SPEED (> 125 MPH). NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT SPEED I'M TRAVELING; I COULD BE SPEEDING OR I COULD BE GOING TOO SLOW WHICH IS A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL AS MYSELF. *TR

Mileage: 71,000

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND THE SPEEDOMETER HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF BEING COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER READ 120 MPH WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH AND I WAS DRIVING WITH THE FLOW OF THE TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE SPEEDOMETER STILL READ 50MPH. AS OF A MONTH AGO MY FUEL, OIL, BATTERY, AND TEMP GAUGE ARE ALL INOP; THE NEEDLES NEVER MOVE. WITH THIS MY BATTERY, SEATBELT, ABS, AND PARKING PARK STAY ILLUMINATED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING, HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, IF MY CAR IS RUNNING HOT, I HAVE NO WARNING INDICATION OF ANYTHING GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 84,000

THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED. CAUSING THE DRIVER TO DRIVE AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS. THE GAUGE WILL STICK AT 25MPH OR NOT WORK AT ALL. THE DRIVER HAS TO GUESS AT WHAT SPEEDS THEY ARE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY SO SOMETIMES THE SPEED IS CORRECTLY DISPLAYED AND MOST OF THE TIME IT IS INCORRECT. I CONTACTED GM DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OPTIONS AND THE PRICE FOR THE PART ALONE IS $400. I CONTACTED GM THEY TOLD ME NO RECALL OR "SPECIAL POLICY" COVERED MY VEHICLE. BUT THERE IS A "SPECIAL POLICY" FOR OTHER GM TRUCKS OF THE SAME YEAR. THE POLICY COVERS THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE CLUSTER OR INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE NUMBER IS BULLETIN NUMBER: 07187A. BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE AT KNOWN SPEEDS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. *TR

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 TO 2 YEARS AGO I NOTICED THAT I HAD ON AND OFF PROBLEMS WITH THE RPM GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE. THE OTHER GAUGES, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER, STARTED TO FAIL AND NOW NONE OF THEM WORK AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE COST. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THAT GM HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT DONE IT WITH THE TRAILBLAZER. *TR

Mileage: 72,000

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE BECAME UNRELIABLE AND HAD DIFFERENT READING EACH TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN. MOST RECENTLY THE GAUGE NEEDLE MOVES PAST THE UPPER LIMITS OF THE GAUGE AND POINTS STRAIGHT DOWN AT THE FUEL GAUGE. TWO DAYS AGO, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING IN THE SAME ERRATIC MANNER AND WILL GIVE VARIOUS READINGS INCLUDING EXCEEDING 120 MPH AND WILL POINT STRAIGHT DOWN AT THE STEERING COLUMN. IT MAY READ ANYWHERE FROM 30 MPH TO 75 MPH AT VARIOUS TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE IGNITION IS OFF. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I AM NO LONGER TO CHECK MY SPEED IN COMPARISON TO SPEED LIMITS OR SPEED WARNING SIGNS WHEN IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. *TR

ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINT SITES WITH CONSUMERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE (MODEL YEAR AND MILEAGE VARIED.) OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL FROM GM.

THE CONSUMER TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, AND EVERYTHING WORKED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE LIFTGATE MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE DOOR LOCKS TO MALFUNCTION. THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATING WAS THE RESULT OF AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER IS BROKEN, IT DOES NOT GO BELOW 90MPG, SO 90 IS MY NEW 0. THIS JUST HAPPENED AND FROM LOOKING INTO IT IS VERY COMMON. THIS IS VERY COSTLY TO FIX AND A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. GM HAD RECALLS ON IT'S OTHER SUV'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER READING AT 0, HOWEVER I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 30 MILES PER HOUR AT THE TIME. I ACCELERATED TO CHECK TO SEE IF THAT WOULD MAKE THE SPEEDOMETER MOVE ABOVE 0, BUT IT STAYED AT 0. I INFORMED MY SPOUSE OF THIS SPEEDOMETER MISREAD AND HE ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE COLD WEATHER. MY SPOUSE THOUGHT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL ONCE THE WEATHER WARMED UP. WELL, THE TEMPERATURE WARMED TO 65 DEGREES AND ONCE AGAIN MY SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION AND READ BELOW 0, WHILE DRIVING. MY HUSBAND HAS ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. THEY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPS WORKING SOMETIMES WITHOUT WARNING. TWO WEEKS AGO MY FAMILY AND I STARTED OUT ON A 180 MILE HIGHWAY TRIP AND WITHIN 20 MILES FROM MY HOME THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STARTED DESCENDING TO BELOW 0 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT REMAINED THERE FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP!!!!! I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. AFTER FINDING NUMEROUS OTHER CHEVY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, IT FRUSTRATES ME TO THINK THAT CHEVY DOES NOT FEEL THAT THIS ISN'T IMPORTANT ENOUGH OR SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I DEPEND ON THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY WHICH INCLUDES A 3YR. OLD AND 13YR. OLD EVERY DAY TO SCHOOL AND DAYCARE. AND FURTHERMORE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE I AM UNAWARE OF MY ACTUAL SPEED. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ALTER MY TRAVEL PLANS IN FEAR OF GETTING PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THIS SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONING EITHER. PLEASE RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE FRONT AIR VENTS IN MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER QUIT WORKING AFTER I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY. MY FRONT AIR VENTS WILL NO LONGER WORK.

IT WILL REQUIRE THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW CONTROL MODULE TO REGULATE THE AIR FLOW SO THE VENTS WILL WORK. THIS IS A COMPONENT/DESIGN PROBLEM THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR

WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SPEEDOMETER ERRATICALLY INCREASES. BRAKING TO A STOP DOES NOT TAKE THE SPEEDOMETER TO ZERO.

VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A "CLUSTER" PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED WITH ESTIMATED COST TO BE AROUND $500. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALS THIS TO BE MORE THAN A SPORADIC PROBLEM RESULTING IN THE MANUFACTURER RECALLING A NUMBER OF VEHICLE MODELS BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. A CALL TO GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CULMINATES ONLY WITH A FORMAL COMPLAINT BEING REGISTERED ... THIS TOO BEING THE COMMON END FOR OWNERS OF TRAILBLAZERS (ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH) THE PROBLEM IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AS WHEN THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING ONE HAS TO GAUGE DRIVING SPEED BY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS TRAVELING 100MPH, WHICH I KNEW I WASN'T BECAUSE I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED DOWN BUT GOT STUCK ON 55MPH AND NOW IT WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2004 TRAILBLAZER HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT CHEVROLET HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SAFETY RECALL. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS ISSUE BE BROUGHT UP AS A SAFETY COMPLAINT DUE TO THIS VEHICLE BEING OUR MAIN TRANSPORTATION FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY !! I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING PRICE QUOTES FROM AREA AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS BUT I HAVE READ THAT THE REPAIR COSTS ARE FROM $400.00 TO $800.00. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THIS AMOUNT IF CHEVROLET WOULD RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SAFETY HAZARD AND JUST RECALL THIS CERTAIN PROBLEM.

NOW I AM WONDERING IF A TAILGATE THAT I RARELY USE IS A SAFETY HAZARD THEN HOW IS AN INSTRUMENT THAT IS USED TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE AT A SAFE SPEED OR MAKING SURE YOU DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE NOT BEING RECALLED... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND CONCERN IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER. *TR

WE OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. ON THE WAY HOME FROM CHRISTMAS WE NOTICED OUR SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT MOVING. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS EITHER TO FAST OR NOT FAST ENOUGH.

THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER : I AM HAVING A WHINING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I TRY TO ENGAGE INTO 4WD THE SOUND WORSENS AND THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT AS WELL THE WHINING ALMOST RESEMBLES A LOW SIREN SOUND. I AM ALSO HAVING A MAJOR MALFUNCTION WITH MY SPEEDOMETER SINCE THE WEATHER HAS GOTTEN COLDER??? I COULD ONLY BE MOVING 10MPH AND IT WILL REGISTER TO 120 OR EVEN SURPASS IT AND THEN GET STUCK, THE ONLY WAY TO UNSTICK IT IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND KEEP RESTARTING IT UNTIL IT RESETS ITSELF BUT NOW IT IS STUCK AND WONT RESET, I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND I ALL I FOUND OUT WAS THERE WERE TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR TRAILBLAZERS AS I AM HAVING. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE LIFE OF THE CAR SOME PEOPLE HAVE THEM HAPPEN AROUND 30,000 MILES OR SOME 50 THOUSAND AND MYSELF THE SPEEDOMETER IS HAPPENING AROUND 72,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO START TO ACT UP ONCE THE WEATHER WAS COLDER. ITS A SHAME THEY WILL FIX THE LARGER SUV'S DUE TO A LAWSUIT BUT SINCE THIS IS A SMALLER SUV IT'S NOT COVERED. WE HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS IN THE TRUCK FOR THE FRONT END NOISE TO ONLY FIND THE NOISE DID NOT DISAPPEAR AFTER READING MANY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS IT SEEMS THIS COULD BE THE TRANSFER CASE ON THE TRUCK. I AM NOT GOING TO KEEP REPLACING PART AFTER PART TO ONLY FIND OUT ITS THE DRIVE TRAIN AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

THIS TRAIL BLAZER HAS BEEN A LEMON EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT.FIRST TWO BATTERIES KEPT SWELLING UP AND SMOKING AND THEN IT WOULDN'T START. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THEN THE MOTOR THREW A ROD. I PUT ANOTHER MOTOR IN IT. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT AND HAD IT PUT ON A MACHINE TO CHECK IT OUT. IT CANNOT BE CHECKED BECAUSE THE MACHINE READS THAT THE COMPUTER IS DEAD. IT STALLS EVERY NOW AND THEN AND GETS HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS WENT OUT OF IT. PREVIOUSLY IT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED THE DOORS WHEN IT WAS RUNNING LOCKING ME OUT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THESE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS YET I HAVE 16 MORE MONTHS TO PAY ON THIS TRUCK. I'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVROLET'S BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AND SO WILL A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. IF THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND THERE VEHICLE'S THEIR NO GOOD FOR ANYTHING. ALL THESE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS STARTED AT DIFFERENT DATES. I ALSO HAD TO PUT A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM ON IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS STILL RUNNING WITH THE COMPUTER DEAD. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER SPEEDOMETER IS CONSISTENTLY INCORRECT. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL FREQUENTLY RESET THE POINT OF ZERO MPH. E.G.

MY DAUGHTER DRIVES A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. SHE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM COLLEGE THE OTHER DAY WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE STILL HAD USE OF THE GAS PEDAL AND STEERING BUT ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS STOPPED. FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, GOING SLOWLY AND WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. SINCE MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED THAT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR HER TO DRIVE BACK TO SCHOOL, WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I MIGHT ADD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE IN 2007 (?) THAT INVOLVED "CORROSION IN THE FUEL TANK MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY." THIS RECALL ITEM WAS REPLACED BY CHEVROLET WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT PROBABLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INCIDENT ON 10-9. SO, AFTER "EXTENSIVE ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS" AND A FEW TEST DRIVES, CHEVY TECHNICIANS SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING FURTHER WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YEARS AGO. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO TIMES PRIOR TO THE OCTOBER 9, 2009 INCIDENT, BUT AT THE TIME, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A GLITCH. IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET READING ABOUT MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS (AMONG OTHER TROUBLING FLAWS WITH THIS CAR) WITH THE 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER.

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER LS: 76K MILES 1. INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONS UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT REGISTER CORRECT SPEED AND WILL MOVE PAST 120 MPH WHEN IN PARK (NEEDLE POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN), SOUNDS LIKE A POPPING OR CRACKLING NOISE FROM INSTRUMENT PANEL AT TIMES. I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS MORE PRONE TO HAPPEN MORE WITH VERY COLD OR VERY HOT TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE BUT NOW ALSO HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS OUTSIDE. ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO GET SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO IS TO START ENGINE AND TURN OFF ENGINE AFTER MINUTE OR SO - THIS PROCESS COULD TAKE STARTING/RE-STARTING 20 TO 30 TIMES TO GET SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO. BAD FOR STARTER AND CONSUMES TOO MUCH GASOLINE TO CONTINUE DOING THIS. 2. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. ALL ELECTRICAL (LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C, ETC.) CUT OFFS AND ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS - SOMETIMES THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES OCCURS WHEN SLOWING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A FEW MINUTES IT CAN BE RESTARTED AND I DO NOT SMELL THE BURNING SMELL. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH COLLEGE/HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN (AGES 25, 22, 17) LIVING AT HOME AND I HAVE A 7 MONTH OLD GRANDCHILD AT HOME. I AM ON A VERY LIMITED BUDGET AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPAIR EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY ISSUES. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS ON THE INTERNET. WHEN WILL GM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANUFACTURING AND SELLING LEMONS!?! GM NEEDS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND REPAIR THESE LEMONS - THE CONSUMER'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE HERE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IS USED. WHILE LOOKING AT OTHER WEB SITE AND DOING A SEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE NOT HAD A REPAIR DONE DO TO THE COST OF THE PART. EXACT PROBLEMS ARE, THE GAS GAUGE DOES "FLOATS" THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. *TR

HAD P0128 CODE FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. REPLACED THERMOSTAT AFTER P1680 CODE, REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON. REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT WENT AWAY ON NEXT CRANK UP TO MOVE VEHICLE AND CHANGE THERMOSTAT. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS BOTH ON INTERMITTENTLY. TACHOMETER HAS BEEN STICKING AND SPEEDOMETER SHOWED ERRATIC SIGNS AROUND 55 MPH. NOW ALL GAUGES GOING WACKO OR NOT WORKING AT ALL AT TIMES. TEMPERATURE GAUGE WRAPPED COMPLETELY AROUND WITHOUT EVEN STARTING COLD ENGINE. ABOUT A MILE LATER, INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT COMPLETELY UP THEN WENT AWAY, GAUGES RESET, AND RAN FINE WITH PROPERLY OPERATING INSTRUMENT PANEL... AT LEAST UNTIL I GOT HOME. THEN WACKO STUFF AGAIN. RESET PCM BY DISCONNECTING BATTERY CABLE, NOW THINGS SEEM FINE... FOR NOW. I'M TOLD TO REDO BAD GROUND ON ECBM BEFORE SUSPECTING BAD ABS MODULE AND TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE SUSPECTING BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PCM. HOWEVER, DEALER ANALYSIS SAID ABS MODULE GOT MOISTURE IN IT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. FIRST IS A $1000 ABS MODULE, SECOND IS A $400 PANEL, BOTH HAVE LABOR CHARGES ADDITIONAL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IN AUGUST OF 2004.

AFTER MONTHS OF FLUCTUATING IT STOPPED WORKING. I NOW HAVE 84,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM GUESSING THE SPEEDOMETER IT WENT OUT AROUND 65,000. I DO NOT FEEL THAT A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE A SPEEDOMETER THAT WON'T WORK ANYMORE. I FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS BESIDES THE TRAILBLAZER. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING. *TR

THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. I KNOW 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH TRAILBLAZERS AND 2 OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY WITH THE GAUGES ON OUR 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. INITIALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WAS MALFUNCTIONING BUT WE FOUND THAT IF WE STOPPED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF. OVER TIME, IT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESET AND CURRENTLY READS 120MPH WHILE IDLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE OTHER GAUGES HAVE BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AND THE BATTERY AND OIL TEMP GAUGES WORK ON OCCASION. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS FROM 2002-2004, HOWEVER A RECALL ON THE PARTS HAVE ONLY BEEN CALLED ON THE 02 AND 03 MODELS, NOT THE 04. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS OR RECEIVED ANY TICKETS FROM THIS PRODUCT FAILURE, WE HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS AND HAD TO USE ANOTHER DEVICE TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR SPEED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IN 2007. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO STICK. SOON AFTER THE REST OF THE GAUGES HAVE GONE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT OR HOW HARD THE ENGINE IS WORKING. NO NONE OF MY REAR LIGHTS FUNCTION. I HAVE GOTTEN PULLED OVER 4 TIMES AND I FEAR ITS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. I HAVE SEEN A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 41245 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND NOW READS 76411.

AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER CLICKING AT 5MPH INTERVALS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED WHEN I WAS PULLED OVER GOING 10MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT APPEARED I WAS GOING THE POSTED SPEED. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING, AND FINALLY ROTATING ALL THE WAY PASSED TOP SPEED BACK TO ZERO. THIS MALFUNCTION SPREAD TO MY TACHOMETER WHERE IT SHOWS I AM TRAVELING AT MORE THAN MORE THAN 11,000 RPMS AT CRUISING SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE READING PUT ME AT NEARLY 200% CAPACITY, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAD. SO I BEGAN USING MY ODOMETER TO GAUGE MY FUEL UNTIL I NOTICED MY ODOMETER READING 2-4 TENTHS OF A MILE EVERY 1/10. I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 2 SPEEDING TICKETS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I AM STRANDED OUT OF GAS. I SEE THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NO IDEA OF ANY RELATED DEATHS OR INJURIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A GM DEFECT NOT RELATED TO REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. NOT ONLY CAN THIS ISSUE ONLY BE REPAIRED BY A DEALERSHIP AT OUTRAGEOUS FEES (ESTIMATED $550), BUT THEIR DEFECTIVE PART IS NOW GIVING A FAULTY ODOMETER READING WHICH AGAINST MISSOURI STATE LAW. *TR

I CANNOT TELL IF I AM SPEEDING, IF I AM OUT OF FUEL , IF MY ENGINE WILL OVER HEAT AND THIS IS ALL VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WORRY CONSTANTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE FIXED BUT CANNOT AFFORD IT BECAUSE I AM PAYING FOR MY COLLEGE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND GMC/CHEVY SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

SPEEDOMETER OF 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS BROKEN. IT WORKS SOMETIMES, BUT RECENTLY I AM CLUELESS ON WHAT SPEED I'M GOING . I MIGHT GO 55 MPH AND IT READS 120 MPH OR I'LL GO 40MPH AND IT'LL READ 10MPH. ??? *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LS V6 2WD. MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AT ONE POINT IT WAS STUCK AT 120 MPH. I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODEL AND MADE A RECALL ON THEM. WHEN I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004 MODEL THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOT BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINING. TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

IT STARTED OUT WITH THE TAC NOT ALWAYS WORKING. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I AM ON THE INTERSTATE IT USUALLY READS LESS THAN ACTUAL AND WHEN I AM IN TOWN DRIVING IT OFTEN INDICATES A HIGHER SPEED. I BELIEVE THERE ARE NOW PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT FUEL VAPORS WERE LEAKING AND COLLECTING ON TOP OF THE MODULE. THE FAILURE CAUSED FUEL TO SPILL ONTO THE GROUND.

SECONDLY, SHE NOTICED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE INOPERATIVE AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE INFORMATION.

I REALIZE THAT INVESTIGATIONS HAVE SHOWED NO DEATHS OR INJURIES DUE TO THIS FAILURE HOWEVER DOES IT NOT PRODUCE AND INCREASED SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD BE RECALLED?

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 56K MILEAGE. IN DECEMBER 2008, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I WOULD BE AT STOP, AND THE NEEDLE SHOWED 80 MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - BUT THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE REPLACEMENT PART. I FINALLY GOT IT FIXED A WEEK LATER AND IT COST ME APPROXIMATELY $525. NOW, FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS, THE ENGINE HAD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THE "REDUCED POWER" & "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTS CAME ON. BOTH TIMES, IT STARTED BACK UP AFTER I PARKED IT, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, AND RE-STARTED. BUT AFTER THE SECOND TIME, I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO HAVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACED. COST ME APPROX $360.

ABOUT 10,000 BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTY RAN OUT, THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AT ABOUT 60MP SO IT READ THAT MUCH HIGHER THAN ACTUAL SPEED. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SPEEDOMETER RESET ITSELF, SO WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULDN'T COVER THE PROBLEM. IT EVENTUALLY KEPT GETTING HIGHER AND HIGHER UNTIL IT WAS STUCK AND DIDN'T READ THE SPEED AT ALL. NOW THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $500+ TO FIX.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FOR SOME TIME WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. INABILITY TO GAUGE SPEED IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT AFFECTING GM CLUSTERS, SO MUCH SO THAT IS HAS BEEN THE SOURCE OF A RECALL IN THE SILVERADO. THAT, HOWEVER DOES NOTHING TO HELP THE OTHER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THESE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS CLUSTERS MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY DRIVING IN OTHER GM VEHICLES LIKE THE TRAILBLAZER WITH NO INDICATION OF THEIR SPEED. A PRODUCT THAT AFFECTS SAFETY LIKE THIS DOES SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RECALLED FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

FORTUNATELY I MUST HAVE COMPLAINED ENOUGH AND TO THE RIGHT PERSON BECAUSE IT WAS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO MY SELF. I NOW AM HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING AND TRYING TO STALL. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I SEE THAT I AM NOT ALONE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. EVERYDAY UPON START UP IT IDLES VERY ROUGH AND IT TRIES TO STALL FOR A GOOD 10 MINUTES. IF I DON'T LET IT SIT AND IDLE BEFORE I DRIVE IT TENDS TO STALL. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLICKER AT LEAST ONCE A DAY AND EVERY FEW DAYS MY REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT WILL FLICKER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANYMORE. WHAT IF I AM TRAVELING AND MY CAR STALLS AND I LOSE CONTROL AND FROM READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM AT RISK FOR MY AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT!!!!! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TOO? I SEE THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS THEIR NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT? WHY SHOULD US AS CONSUMER ALREADY PAYING ENOUGH FOR THESE VEHICLES BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES? *TR

LAST WEEK MY WIFE INDICATED THAT WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER IN OUR 2004 TRAILBLAZER WAS SHOWING SHE WAS GOING 100 MPH WHEN IN FACT SHE WAS NOT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND FIXING IT ON SOME MODELS BUT WILL NOT COVER THE $500 - $700 COST ON MY MODEL. I CONTACTED GM YESTERDAY AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL CONTINUING. I CALL ON THE NHTSA TO EXERT PRESSURE ON GM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED AS THE RESULT OF THIS FAULTY PART THAT GM IS AWARE OF. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC IN THAT AT TIMES IT WILL JUST QUIT AND READ O -10 MPH WHEN I KNOW I AM GOING A LOT FASTER THAN THAT (FREEWAY SPEEDS). THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SO UNPREDICTABLE I DON'T DARE USE IT ANYMORE. IT SPEEDS UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES.

THIS IS COVERED ON OTHER GM VEHICLES BUT NOT THE TRAILBLAZER. THERE ARE MANY CASES ONLINE WHERE IT IS OBVIOUS IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT/KNOWN PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET FOR GOING 49 IN A 40 WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED SHE WAS WITHIN THE MPH LIMIT. IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE REALIZED THE PROBLEM. MY SITUATION OCCURRED ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AGO. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING WITH A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND HE MENTIONED HIS SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING UP. I TOLD HIM EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND HE IS LOOKING INTO THE REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON JANUARY 4, 2008 AND THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO. AFTER WE STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT JUMPED UP AND DOWN AND THEN STEADIED AROUND 50 MPH EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO BE TRAVELING FASTER THAN THAT TO KEEP UP WITH THE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. NOW WHEN IT IDLES, THE SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY CATCHES. BUD WOLF CHEVROLET SAID ON MONDAY, JANUARY 7TH, THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE AS THE TRAILBLAZERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS A NUMBER OF OTHER GM SUV'S AND TRUCKS. (THEY FIXED 5 TRAILBLAZERS IN THE PAST MONTH THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER). HOWEVER, I LEARNED THAT THEY WERE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR TODAY. WHEN I CALLED OTHER DEALERS, AND CHEVROLET'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, MANY TRAILBLAZER OWNERS ARE UNHAPPY BECAUSE THEY ARE EITHER HAVING TO PAY $500 FOR THE REPAIR OR DRIVE THEIR VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER IN VEHICLE HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

WHEN SLOWING OR STOPPING THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SOMETIMES TRAVEL BACK TOWARDS ITS START POINT, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I DO CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS REVEALED 100'S OF OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM IN TRAILBLAZERS, AS WELL AS WITH GMC YUKON'S, SIERRA PICK UPS, CHEVY TAHOE'S, AVALANCHE'S, AND SILVERADO'S.

AT TIMES, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD BE READING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY GOING AROUND 55-60 MPH. IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE WRONG, IT DOES NOT CAUSE TOO MUCH TROUBLE, BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE IF SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE TOO OFTEN, SAY A SPOUSE, AND THEY HEAD INTO A SHARP CURVE WITH A WARNING SIGN POSTED AT 25MPH, AND THEY LOOK AT THE SPEEDOMETER FOR VERIFICATION, AND FORGET THAT IT IS WRONG. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, WHEN IT IS HARDER TO JUDGE YOUR SPEED. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ENGINEERING FLAW ON THEIR VEHICLES. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. AS A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN ONE OF THE THE LARGEST COUNTIES IN NORTH CAROLINA, I FEEL QUALIFIED TO MAKE THE STATEMENT THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD PROMPT ACTION BY THE NHTSA TO FORCE GM TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AT NO CHARGE.

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WILL GET STUCK AT VARIOUS POSITIONS (CURRENTLY AT OVER 120 MPH). THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY OR STOP/RESTART THE CAR NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM REALLY GOING WHEN THIS PROBABLY OCCURS BECAUSE THE BASELINE FOR THE SPEED IS NO LONGER AT ZERO. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 03 TO 06 GM CARS AND TRUCKS, AND PARTICUARLY THE 04 TO 05 MODELS, AND IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OUT FOR MOST PEOPLE. GM KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND CHARGES $500+ FOR THE FIX, BUT INDEPENDENT SHOPS CHARGE LESS THAN $200. NOT HAVING AN ACCURATE SPEEDOMETER IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES BECAUSE OF LOW QUALITY COMPONENTS USED IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ISSUES OUT THERE AND THE COST TO FIX I FEEL THE THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE GM TO RECALL OR OFFER THE FIX WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS TO OWNERS OF 03 TO 06 GM PRODUCTS FOR FREE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD DIM INTERMITTENTLY. AT TIMES, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT HE CAN HARDLY SEE THE ROAD. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 02-01-08. *KB

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS NOTICEABLE ONLY AT NIGHT WHEN THE WINDSHIELD GLARE WAS SO BAD ON THE FREEWAY THAT I COULD NOT SEE VERY WELL. WE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. THE SECOND PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR THE PAST SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS. THE SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES WORKS, BUT IS USUALLY NOT VERY CORRECT, AND MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST PICKS A NUMBER AND SITS THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. I USUALLY USE THE RPMS TO FIGURE OUT HOW FAST I AM GOING UNTIL MY MECHANIC CAN FIX IT FOR MORE THAN A WEEK AT A TIME. *TR

DAILY FAILURE OF SEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THIS WAS IN ADDITION TO FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM WAS INCONSISTENT AND MADE ME QUESTION THE ACTUAL SPEED AT EVERY MOMENT AND MADE ME MEASURE BASED ON OTHER TRAFFIC. IT IS A VERY DISTRACTING WAY TO DRIVE WITH ALL GAUGES MOVING AT TIMES AND THEN RETURNING TO A FIXED SETTING. I HAD THE CLUSTERBOARD REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM. INSTRUMENT PANELS ON 3 YEAR OLD CARS DO NOT FAIL UNLESS THERE IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. PLEASE PREVENT ACCIDENTS IN THE FUTURE THIS IS NOT A SAFE WAY TO OPERATE A VEHICLE. *TR

MOST DASHBOARD GAUGES FAILED ON THE 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. TOTAL LOSS OF FUEL GAUGE, AMP GAUGE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. IN ADDITION TO THESE FAILURES ODOMETER DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. ALSO, OTHER DRIVER INFORMATION COMPUTER ITEMS DID NOT FUNCTION. ABS, PARKING BRAKE AND BATTERY LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING ALL DASHBOARD FUNCTIONS RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW DAYS.

Mileage: 65,000

MY SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES READS ABOUT 20 MPH OFF THEN WON'T RESET WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. IT JUST STAYS AT 20 MPH...THEN SOMETIMES IT DOES RESET AND WORKS FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WASN'T HAPPENING AT THE TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT RE-PROGRAM THE SPEEDO. THAT DIDN'T HELP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THAT. *JB

Mileage: 38,000

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK, SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SOMETIMES SAYS MY ENGINE IS TOO HOT WHEN IT IS NOT, SO NOW I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE STATUS OF MY ENGINE'S COOLING SYSTEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT AND VOLTAGE PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 TRAILBLAZER, THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN THE FALL OF 2004...HEADLIGHTS AND VOLTAGE GAUGE WOULD DIM AND DROP, WOULD CONTINUE TO DO THIS INTERMITTENTLY...DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR TWICE..ALSO THE DASH HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE DUE TO THE VOLTAGE SPIKES CAUSED BY THIS...THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT GM HAD ISSUED A BULLETIN ON THIS SAYING IT WAS " THE NATURE OF THE BEAST" THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A SECONDARY SMOG PUMP THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COME ON ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 1ST STARTED...BUT COULD ALSO KEEP KICKING IN AND OUT CAUSING A SEVERE VOLTAGE DRAW...MY TRUCK NOW HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT, AM AFRAID THESE VOLTAGE SPIKES WILL TAKE OUT ANOTHER DASH, I FEEL GM HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS AND FEEL THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE HEADLIGHTS ALL BUT GO OUT AT LOW SPEEDS, THE DEALERSHIP HERE HAS DONE ALL THAT GM WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO ACCORDING TO THEM. *JB

SPEEDOMETER FAULTY AND SHOWING WILDLY INACCURATE SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL RANGE FROM 10 MPH TO 120 MPH! WHILE CONDUCTING RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY VEHICLE IS RECENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR WILL COST OVER $600. *JB

Mileage: 48,000

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER BEGAN TO SHOW THE WRONG SPEED AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES. THE NEEDLE WOULD INCREASE WITH SPEED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BUT WOULD NOT GO BACK DOWN AGAIN LIKE IT SHOULD. THEN IT QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER AND THE NEEDLE JUST HANGS LIMP. WE HAD THE SPEEDOMETER DIAGNOSED AT ANOTHER FACILITY SINCE THIS OCCURRED AROUND THE HOLIDAYS AND GM DEALERS COULD NOT GET US IN. MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMMUTING 20-30 MILES DAILY HAVING NO IDEA HOW FAST SHE IS GOING BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR STORIES AFTER RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET. EVERY PERSON I KNOW WITH A LARGE GM VEHICLE HAS HAD TO REPLACE IT BETWEEN 40,000 AND 50,000 MILES. THE FACILITY THAT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM SAID THAT THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD WAS STRIPPED AND THE DEALERSHIPS KNOW THE PRICE OF THIS PART OFF THE TOP OF THEIR HEADS, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THEY REPLACE MANY OF THEM. *JB

MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS SPEEDOMETER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. IT WILL REGISTER SPEEDS 25-35 MILES PER HOUR OVER ACTUAL. IT ALSO DOES NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY BUT JERKS TO THE NEXT NUMBER. VERY DANGEROUS, AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING ON THE ENVOY, TAHOE AND AVALANCHE MODELS. THIS SHOULD BE QUALIFIED AS A SAFETY RECALL. *JB

ODOMETER FAILURE AFTER 81,000 MILES... ODOMETER WILL LOCK ON DIFFERENT SPEEDS, FROM 10-40- 110 MPH EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TRAVELING THAT SPEED.

DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON/STAY ON/GO OFF RANDOMLY. ADDITIONALLY, ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, DECREASED ENGINE POWER HAS OCCURRED. SHUTTING VEHICLE DOWN WITH A RESTART HAS ALWAYS SOLVED THE "DECREASED POWER" ISSUE. BUT DEALERSHIP & AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE CANNOT FIX DUE TO "NO CODES STORED". WARNING LIGHT INVOLVED ARE: SERVICE ENGINE SOON, OIL CHANGE DUE AND REDUCED POWER. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM HAVING STARTED ALMOST AS SOON AS WE TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE NEW WITH 250 MILES .*JB

HEADLIGHTS BLINK WHILE DRIVING AND SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. *JB

ON 8/1/06 I WAS AWAKEN BY A NEIGHBOR AT 1 AM SAYING MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED BUT THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WAS DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED SINCE 8 PM THAT NIGHT AND IT WAS LOCKED. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF FORCED ENTRY AND NO SIGN OF ANY OTHER REASON FOR THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 10/04 AND HAD LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. I USED THE ROADSIDE WARRANTY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR GM TO SEND A FIRE INVESTIGATOR OUT AND THEIR INVESTIGATOR SAID HE COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE VERMONT STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BUT GM DID NOT RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT. I HAD ELECTRICAL REPAIRS DONE JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE TOO AND THE STEREO SYSTEM HAD STOPPED WORKING JUST A MONTH BEFORE THE FIRE. THE CAR IS STILL SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP. I DID NOT HAVE COLLISION INSURANCE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PAID IN FULL AND MY CURRENT FINANCES DID NOT ALLOW ME TO MAINTAIN ANYTHING MORE THAN LIABILITY INSURANCE. SO NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND THIS IS TOUGH WITH 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. GM REFUSES TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY AND INSISTS THAT THIS MODEL VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT'S TIME SOMEONE MADE GM HONOR THE WARRANTY THEY CHARGE FOR WHEN YOU PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. *JB

Mileage: 30,000

THE SPEEDOMETER & TACH DO NOT WORK PROPERLY THEY READ WRONG OR NOT AT ALL. YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT 50 MPH YOU THINK, BUT IT MIGHT BE 60 OR 70. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE THE REP SEAMED TO KNOW RIGHT AWAY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. COST $400.00+ TO FIX. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. EARLY LAST MONTH I DISCOVERED MY SPEEDOMETER METER NOT STOPPING AT 0 MPH WHEN I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT STOPPED AT 20 MPH. THIS MEANT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING A SPEED FASTER THAN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF THAT EVENING AND BACK ON THE NEXT MORNING, IT RESET AND RETURNED TO 0 MPH. AS THE MONTH PROGRESSED, THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR CONTINUED EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED THE INDICATOR TO EXCEED PASSED THE 120 MPH INDICATOR. THE ONLY RESOLUTION HAS BEEN TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE INDICATOR STOPS WILL DICTATE HOW MANY TIMES I'LL HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THE INDICATOR BACK TO 0 MPH. *NM

I PARKED AND TURNED OFF MY CAR AND IT BURST INTO FLAMES. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AT ALL UNTIL THE FIRE. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER GAUGES ON THE DASH DON'T WORK. THE GET STUCK AT SAY 50 MPH AND 7000 RPMS. SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING OR WHAT THE TRUE RPM'S ARE. THAN IT TAKES ABOUT A WEEK AND YOUR DASH WILL START WORKING AGAIN. MY MECHANIC HAD 4 OTHER TRAILBLAZERS AT HIS SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT COST 400.00 TO FIX AND YOU ARE WITH OUT A CAR FOR TWO DAYS. *JB

FLAGGED DOWN POLICE OFFICER WHO HELPED PUT OUT FIRE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER. HAD CAR TOWED TO ADVANTAGE CHEVROLET WHO SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND PERHAPS A CIGERETTE GOT SUCKED IN AND STARTED THE FIRE. CONTACTED GM WHO SENT OUT A REP AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN FIRE SO HE CONCLUDED GM WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR MUST HAVE SUCKED IN SOME FOREIGN OBJECT AND IT WAS NOT A MECHANICAL FAILURE. CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER MY INSURANCE, WHO IS FIGHTING THE CLAIM. PARTS REPLACED WERE AIR CLEANER COMPARTMENT, DUCTS, CLAMPS, SENSORS, SNORKEL, ELEMENT ETC.

WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER, PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS A PROBLEM WHERE IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY OR MAY NOT STALL, BUT IT GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER WITH ALL SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ON. IT DID STALL ONE PARTICULAR TIME WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT. SHE WAS ON A STEEP HILL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ROLLED BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL. IT WAS VARY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND BRAKE FOR HER WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ON. LUCKLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND HER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO OUR DEALERSHIP FOR THE 5TH TIME NOW AND TWICE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I NOTICED THE DASH LIGHTS DIM AND HEADLIGHTS DIM AT THE SAME TIME. THE LIGHTS THEN IMMEDIATELY FLICKER BACK TO NORMAL NIGHTTIME LIGHTS. IT APPEARS THEY ARE FLICKERING BETWEEN DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME SETTINGS. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.*JB

2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. IN THE RATHER SHORT TIME I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER REPAIR 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME GROUP OF PROBLEMS. THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS KEEP POINTING TO THE SKY RANDOMLY CAUSING BRIEF CONFUSION WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED FOR SAFETY. THE PRE-SET MEMORY KEEPS CLEARING ITSELF. THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS OFTEN GO VERY DIM AND FLICKER CAUSING DISTRACTION TO THE OTHER DRIVERS AND FEAR IN THE DRIVER OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED SEAT STOPPED WORKING. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW CONTROLS RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT. ALL OF THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER BUT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. SEVERAL COMPUTER REPROGRAMMING AND PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL REMAIN. THE DEALER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMATION POSTED ON THE INTERNET BY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE IS VALID. THAT IS BULL~H@T !THEY SEEM RELUCTANT TO CONTINUE TROUBLESHOOTING IT. MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT IT ENDS UP BURNING TO THE GROUND LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED. SOMETHING HAS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL OF THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES. *NM

I BOUGHT VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2003. IT IS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. IN THE MONTHS FOLLOWING I BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS . CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH ON AND THEN WENT OFF AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED CAR STALLED AS WELL. I WOULD BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD SAY THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THEY HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I ALSO HAD MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY BLINKERS. I HAVE HAD THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED TWICE. I RECENTLY TOOK IT AGAIN BECAUSE MY LEFT BLINKER WOULD FLASH MUCH FASTER WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKE. ALSO, IF I JUST TOUCHED THE BRAKE THE RIGHT BLINKER LIGHT ON MY CONSOLE WOULD ILLUMINATE. ALSO, IT LOOKED AS IF I HAD MY LIGHTS ON FOR REVERSING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS OTHER DRIVERS THOUGHT I WAS REVERSING WHEN I WAS GOING FORWARD. I HAVE HAD 4WD LIGHT COME ON AND THEN TURN OFF AGAIN LATER. I HAVE HAD MY MAIN COMPUTER REPLACED TWICE AND MY FLASHER COMPUTER REPLACED ONCE. I HAD TO HAVE MY KEYS REPROGRAMMED TWICE AND THEY FINALLY FOUND OUT TODAY I HAD FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY CAUSING THE TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES AND FLASHERS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWING EVERYTHING I FILL UP NO MATTER WHAT I DO AND I AM NOT TRYING TO "TOP OFF". ALSO, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY SEAT BELTS AND HAVE THEM REPLACED AS WELL. THEY WOULD LOCK AND I WOULD BE UNABLE TO GET IT ONE TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO SEAT BELT. OVERALL, THESE PROBLEMS AMOUNT TO A POORLY MADE VERY EXPENSIVE CAR THAT LEAVES ME FEELING UNSAFE IN MY CAR. PLEASE MAKE CHEVROLET LISTEN TO ITS CONSUMERS AND PAY RESTITUTION. WE WERE ALL LIED TO BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER, WHO HAD TO HAVE KNOWN IT WAS PRODUCING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT.*AK

THE VEHICLE BURNED COMPLETELY, ALSO BURNING THE END OF MY HOME. I CONTACTED G.M. ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD I WAS WAY DOWN THE LIST OF PROBLEMS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. I SINCERELY HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I WOULD HOPE THAT G.M. WOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAD ONLY 27,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *NM *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND SINCE PURCHASE IT IS IN AND OUT OF THE SHOW WITH NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL AND GAS PROBLEMS. EVERYTIME YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE IT SPILLS OUT FROM THE UNDERSIDE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACE PARTS PERTAINING TO THE FUEL SYSTEM AND IT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. MY RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. MY HEADLIGHTS DIM UP AND DOWN, THE AIR BLOWS LOW AND HIGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND ALL THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND EVERYTIME I TAKE IT THEY STATE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN IT. I AM CURRENTLY FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. *JB

I WANT GM TO BE LOOKING INTO A PROBLEM THEY HAVE ABOUT THERE TRAILBLAZERS. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL AND STALLING. I HAVE HAD 3 COMPUTER BRAINS PUT IN, AND THE ELECTRICAL DONE ONCE. YET THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE!! IN THE ELECTRICAL THE GAUGES WOULD FREAK OUT, AND EVEN TOOK OUT THE FUEL SENSOR. THEN I HAD A SHOCK WHEN YOU TOUCH THE GEAR SHIFT, I WAS TOLD TO QUIT DRAGGING MY FEET ON THAT ONE. THEN IT WENT TO THE CAR STALLING OR NOT EVEN STARTING AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP YET TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. KNOW THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE GETTING REPAIRS, OR IT LOOKED OUT. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS CAR, AND DO NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN FOR LONG DISTANCES AT ALL. I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS SINCE MY WARRANTY WENT OUT, AND IT PROCEEDS TO ONLY GET WORSE. AND I CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, SINCE THE PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER THE TIME LINE FOR THE LEMON LAW WAS UP (BOUGHT AS A PREVIOUSLY OWNED VEHICLE.) OR DEALER TRADE BACK! *JB

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A LOUD VIBRATION FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IS STILL NOT FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS DIM VERY LOW TO THE POINT THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALSO GO VERY LOW. VEHICLE TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP IN APRIL. TECH SAYS CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CAR TAKEN IN AGAIN THIS TIME CD PLAYER WILL STOP PLAYING IF VOLUME IS TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR MORE THAT 2 MINS. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT PLAY AGAIN YOU HAVE TO EJECT CD AND REINSERT. RADIO WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ORDERED NEVER RECEIVED IT. CAR TAKEN IN AGAIN THIS TIME DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOUND PROBLEM WITH RADIO AND IT WAS REPLACED ASKED FOR THEM TO CHECK HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. THEY ALSO CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP CD PLAYERS STOPS PLAY AGAIN. SEPT 28, 2005 WHILE AT BANK DRIVE THROUGH CAR STALLS OUT, ABLE TO RESTART CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STALLING OUT, HEADLIGHTS, AND CD PLAYER. AFTER HAVING MY CAR THERE A WEEK AND 3 DAYS THERE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE STALLING OUT WAS BECAUSE THE WAS CARBON BUILD UP IN THROTTLE BODY THIS WAS CLEANED OUT. MY CAR HAS 19,000 MILES AND IS A YEAR OLD I DON;T BELIEVE THIS IS THE PROBLEM. WHILE THERE A NEW CD PLAYER WAS PUT IN, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONE THAT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WAS A REFURBISHED ONE AND IT DIDN'T SURPRISE THEM THAT IT DIDN'T WORK. THE HEADLIGHTS WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE CRAZY AT FIRST AND THEN AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WHICH MEANS WE HAVE A 2ND AIR INTAKE ON IT THAT CAUSES THE ALTERNATOR TO DRAIN CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO DIM. GM HAS TOLD US THIS IS NORMAL!!!!!! I AM SORRY I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY FAMILY LIVES ON THE LINE BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BUY A NEW CAR IN VIRGINIA THAT WAS MADE IN CALIFORNIA. I LEAVE IN A RURAL AREA NOT THE CITY SO IF I LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS THEN THAT MEANS I CAN'T SEE. THIS DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM. WE DO HAVE A MEETING IN NOV WITH THE NORTHERN AREA MANAGER. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OPERATION OF A CAR NOR SHOULD IT BE DESIGNED TO DO THIS. *NM

(1) DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, VERY FREW STREET LIGHTS, FEW BUMPS BUT NOT MANY. 2) WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED THE LIGHTS DIMMING AND BECOMING BRIGHT AGAIN WHILE ON LOW BEAM. IT APPEARED AS IF I WAS FLIPPING BETWEEN LOW BEAM AND LOWER BEAM (IF THERE WAS ONE). DURING THIS TIME, I NOTICED THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD BECOME DIM, BUT STILL VERY VISIBLE. WATCHING THE VOLTAGE METER, THAT DID NOT MOVE AT ALL AND REMAINED SLIGHTLY ABOVE 14 VOLTS. NO OTHER EQUIPMENT (RADIO, ETC) MADE ANY TYPE OF NOISE OR INDICATION THAT ANY VOLTAGE HAS DROPPED. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROX. 5 MOS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED VERY SPORADICALLY, BUT JUST RECENTLY IT CONTINUED HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 10 MINUTES STRIAGHT UNTIL I STOPPED AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. (3) NOTHING WAS DONE AT THIS TIME. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE, HENCE THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE.*AK

THE HOME SECURITY (AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER) SYSTEM HAS BEEN FAILING IN MY TRAILBLAZER. A FEW DAYS AGO WERE LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR DINNER, I OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR WITH THE MANUAL BUTTON JUST INSIDE THE GARAGE. APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE LATER I BEGAN PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE WHEN I SUDDENLY BACKED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR. CONFUSED ABOUT THE SITUATION I PULLED THE TRAILBLAZER BACK IN AND GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE. THE GARAGE DOOR HAD CLOSED APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY AND HIT THE TAILGATE JUST BELOW THE WIPER BLADE CAUSING SEVERAL DEEP SCRATCHES. I MANAGED TO POP THE GARAGE DOOR BACK INTO THE RAILS AND BEND THE ALUMINUM PIECES BACK IN PLACE SO THAT THE DOOR IS NOW SERVICEABLE. NOW LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT I GOT BACK INSIDE THE TRUCK AND THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE AGAIN. THIS HAS NOW BEEN HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF A SHORT OR SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRONICS THAT CAUSE THE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO SEND A SIGNAL WHEN SOMEONE CLOSES THE DOOR. I NOW HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR OVER $500 IN PAINT AND REPAIRS WHICH I AM EAGER TO HAVE FIXED, BUT NOT IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I'VE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND HE HAS TOLD ME HOW TO DEPROGRAM MY OPENER BUT I AM HOLDING OFF UNTIL I CAN HAVE AN INSURANCE AGENT OR SOMEONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A LOCAL DEALER AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED IT ERASES THE CODES IN THE ENGINE AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WELL, IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THIS EVENING. SAME PROBLEM. THIS WILL BE MY 5TH TIME OF BRINGING THIS VEHICLE IN FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I ONLY HAVE 9400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY 5 CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS. IS THERE A WAY GM CAN GET ME A BETTER RUNNING VEHICLE? I PAID A LOT FOR THIS VEHICLE AND AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH IT'S PERFORMACE. THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CONNELL CHEVROLET SERVICE HERE IN KILLEEN HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SELL ME THIS VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE THE ONES NICE ENOUGH TO TRY AND FIX THE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS.*AK
