2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

WHENEVER I DRIVE AT NIGHT THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIMES GO OUT COMPLETELY WHEN I BRAKE OR ALLOW THE TRUCK TO COAST. WHEN I USE THE GAS THE PROBLEM RESOLVES BUT SINCE I HAVE TO STOP SOMETIME THIS ISN'T A GOOD FIX. THE ELECTRICAL GAUGE ON MY DASH FLUXUATE WITH THE LIGHTS GOING FROM LOW TO HIGH AND BACK AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN INTO 2 DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY "CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" I WORK NIGHTS SO I AM DRIVING MOSTLY DURING THE NIGHT. HOW IS IT SAVE FOR A YOUNG WOMAN TO DRIVE ALONE AT NIGHT WITHOUT LIGHTS? THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

TACH IS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND SPEEDOMETER IS ALL OVER THE FACE. DO NOT TRUST THE INFORMATION THAT IS SHOWN. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVORLET TRAILBLAZER. THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE NO WAY TO GAUGE MY SPEED WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON GM PRODUCTS. THE VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 66K AND SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NOT FAIL. THIS IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT. DURING THE WINTER, THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS. THE DIAL WILL SHOW 100 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 50 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW SPEEDOMETER WAS NEEDED AT THE COST OF $500. THE DEALER INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,216 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE DIAL WAS ON ZERO. THE TACHOMETER WAS OVER 7,000 AND THE OIL GAUGE WAS OVER EIGHTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS NOT WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS THIRTY MILES OFF, THE RPM WAS STUCK AT 4,000, AND THE FUEL TANK VARIED FROM FULL TO HALF. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 53,253.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER IS UNDEPENDABLE ESPECIALLY IN COOLER WEATHER. IT MIGHT SAY I'M GOING 120 MPH IN TOWN OR 35 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAPPENED LAST SPRING AND OCCASIONALLY THIS SUMMER. NOW IT IS REAL FREQUENT. WHEN I SEARCH (GOOGLE) THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS TO BE QUITE OFTEN WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS GOING BAD. IT REGISTERS SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 120MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ONLY GOING 60MPH. THERE IS A LIMITED RECALL BUT ONLY IF YOUR VEHICLE FALLS UNDER 7 YEARS 70,000 MILES. MY 2004 TAHOE HAS 84,000 MILES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS "EXTENDED WARRANTY". *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT SPEEDOMETER DOES INDICATE CORRECT SPEED. OPERATION IS INTERMITTENT. WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, INDICATION IS FROM 0 MPH TO PEGGED OUT, WITH NEEDLE FLUCTUATING. NO ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, OR SPEEDING TICKETS, YET!!! *TR

UPON ATTEMPTING TO HAVE MY TIRE SERVICED AT A LOCAL FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER I WAS INFORMED BY MANAGER THERE THAT ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE WERE DEFECTIVE, TREAD COULD SEPARATE FROM TIRE, AND THAT THEY WOULD THEREFORE NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICE. ALL TIRES SHOW CRACKING AT BASE OF TREAD WHERE IT MEATS THE SIDEWALL ALL THE WAY AROUND EACH TIRE. THESE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TIRES PURCHASED ON NEW GM '04 TRAILBLAZER IN FEBRUARY OF THAT YEAR. THERE IS VERY LITTLE TREADWARE AND TIRES ONLY HAVE 29,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRE DESCRIPTION: BFGOODRICH OPEN TRAIL T/A P245/70R16. DOT AP9L 2E11 3303 *TR
