2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FLOW FROM A STOP TO 45 MPH WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY WIFE'S 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER INDICATED I WAS DOING 75 MPH. CONTINUING AT THE TRAFFIC FLOW SPEED OF ABOUT 45 WITH SLIGHT SLOWDOWNS AND SPEEDUPS FOR APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER CLIMBED TO 85 MPH. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP IT WENT TO 80 MPH. THEN, ACCELERATING TO 35 MPH, IT NOW READ 105 MPH. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK IT WENT TO 80 MPH NOT 0. TRUCK HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT. **AK

IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ENGINE CHECK LIGHT STAYED ON. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE 10 CHEVROLET DEALERS WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM W UNTIL WE WERE PAST THE 70,000 MILES EXTRA WARRANTY CHEVROLET ADDED TO COVER ALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. WARRANTY INFORMATION WAS ADDRESSED IN SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT- FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FRACTURE #05012 ON MARCH 14, 2005. APPARENTLY, AS WE WERE TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THIS VEHICLE HAD A FRACTURE IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO REPLACE THE TANK. THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE FOUND NUMBER OF ARTICLES OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY FOR US, AS THIS VEHICLE WAS THE PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION FOR MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL. *AK

I HAVE A 2004 TRAILBLAZER. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH IT. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD REV UP THE RPMS FOR NO REASON AND MAKE A WEIRD SOUND. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO 4 -WHEEL DRIVE OR OUT OF IT LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. AND OTHER THINGS. I HAD IT CHECKED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALL FINE AND THEY COULDNT DUPLICATE THE ERRORS. HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED 3 TIMES. IT IS NOW AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY STATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE HAS TOO MUCH TRAVEL TO IT FRONT TO REAR. THE CRANK SHAFT SPECIFICALLY WHICH IS ALLOWING THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO PULL AWAY FROM THE FRONT PUMP AND BREAK THE ROTAR ASSEMBLY IN THE FRONT PUMP OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS GETTING EXPENSIVE AND FRUSTRATING. ARE THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES OR IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANK SHAFT? COULD IT BE THE TRANSMISSION IS BUILT WRONG? THIS IS REDICULOUS!! I HAVE ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. WHY WOULD I BUY CHEVY PRODUCTS IF THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL AT SUCH LOW MILES. *AK

MY VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS TIMES QUIT RUNNING (SINCE PURCHASE 2004) BY FIRST BEING UNSTABLE AND ROUGH ENGINE IDLE. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME ON HIGHWAY AND THEN COMING TO A FULL STOP AT AN EXIT; VEHICLE WILL SURGE AT LOW SPEED/SHUDDER AND WILL STOP RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP VEHICLE RUNNING IS BY PRESSING GAS AND BRAKE (NOT SAFE). TALKED TO DEALERSHIP AN THERE IS NO FIX. *TR

WHILE SLOWING FOR A STOPLIGHT THE VEHICLE COMPLETLY SHUT OFF INCLUDING THE STEERING. THE CAR SWERVED INTO ANOTHER CAR'S LANE. AFTER I STARTED IT AGAIN, AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO MCCOMB CHEVROLET. THEY SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER, AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THE SECOND TIME I WAS SLOWING TO GO AROUND A CURVE AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A DITCH. MY DAUGHTER BUMBED HER HEAD ON THE SIDE DOOR. THIS TIME MCCOMB SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ,BUT MAYBE IT WAS WATER IN THE FUEL LINE. THE THIRD TIME I WAS SLOWING AGAIN AROUND A CURVE AND IT SHUT OFF, AND VEERED OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE NOT CALLED MCCOMB AS OF YET. THIS WAS VERY ALARMING AND DANGEROUS. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN.*AK
