I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER THAT UPON TRYING TO START SPRAYED GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MY KIDS GETTING IN CAR. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER JUST TO FIND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO SINCE I HAVE 70,000 MILES ON VEHICLE . THE DEALER SAID THE FUEL PUMP HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND NEEDED REPLACING AT A COST OF 1,200.00$. SHOULD A $25,000.00 AMERICAN MADE SUV LAST MORE THAN 4 YEARS??? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE HAD ABNORMAL WEAR AND WAS LEAKING.

THE RPM TACH DOES NOT WORK ON THE 2004 TRAILBLAZER. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE TAKES REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT. WE DO NOT DRIVE IT HARD. THE DRIVER SIDE PLASTIC BEZEL AROUND THE ELECTRONICS IS BROKE. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC BOARD, APPARENTLY IT WAS NOT DETECTING CORRECTLY AND MAKING THE VEHICLE STALL. OH AND WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK MAKE SURE YOU RUN THE PUMP BY HAND. IF YOU ALLOW THE PUMP TO FILL THE CAR YOU WILL OVER FILL EVERYTIME. CAUSING GAS TO GO ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT. IT WILL START OFF FINE BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MIN THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WILL START FALLING TO 0 AT A SLOW PACE. *TR

I OPENED THE REAR ACCESS TO MY TRAILBLAZER AND WAS ABOUT TO SHUT IT I REACHED MY HAND UP AND STARTED TO PULL THE HATCH DOWN. I HAD MOVED IT ABOUT AN INCH WHEN THE BACK WINDOW "EXPLODED" SENDING A SHOWER OF GLASS DOWN OVER ME AND MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON. IT SHOT GLASS FRAGMENTS 10 FEET. I HAD GLASS IN MY HAND AND MY HAIR. SON WAS BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY HE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INJURIES. PEOPLE HEARD IT NOISE INSIDE THE BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS CLEAR OF ICE AND SNOW AND IT WAS 20 DEGREES OUT, ( NOT TERRIBLY COLD COMPARABLY). I HAD NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH THE GLASS OR THE REAR ACCESS BEFORE. THE GLASS DID NOT HAVE A NICK OR A SCRATCH. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE MESS. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE STARTED ACTING ERRATIC AND NO FAIL TO ACCURATELY TELL ME HOW FAST THAT I AM GOING. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND GMAC HAS A RECALL ON THE SAME CLUSTER THAT IS USED ON SIMILAR VEHICLES. I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH 69,000 MILES ON IT. I USE THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO WORK TOTALING 100+ MILES PER DAY. *TR

FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON 2004 CHEV TRAILBLAZER. THE TACH WENT BAD AT 52,500 MILES AND MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED ABOUT 4,000 MILES AFTER THAT. IT IS STUCK AT 120 MILES PER HOUR EVEN WHEN THE UNIT IS PARKED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON BOTH MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT AND MY 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER SEDAN HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONING ERRATICALLY, I.E. REGISTERING 100 MPH IN PARK AND THEN NOT REGISTERING A SPEED AT ALL. *TR
