2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY TRAVELING EASTBOUND GOING 50 MPH POSTED SPEED 55 MPH WEARING OUR SEAT BELTS, WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAITING TO U - TURN IN THE CENTER MEDIAN DECIDED TO TURN RIGHT INTO ME-ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PERSON COLLIDED WITH ME, WHICH THAT IMPACT SENT ME INTO A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH THE GUARD RAIL. THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. THERE WERE 2 INCIDENTS IN THAT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT DID NOT! THIS ACCIDENT CAUSED SEVERAL INJURIES TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER. WE DEFINITELY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND NO AIRBAGS TO HELP SAVE OUR LIVES.....UPDATED 09-03-14 *BF UPDATED 11/7/2014 *JS *TR

WHEN HAD THE CRASH WHICH WAS VERY HARD LOUD AND SCARY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR DID THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE OF SEAT. THE CRASH WAS VERY SERIOUS AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND POWERTRAIN TO WINDOWS. *TR

WHEN YOU CUT THE WHEELS HARD LEFT OR RIGHT THE SUV TRAILBLAZER ENGINE STALLS OUT. WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ABOUT RECALL NOTICES ON TAILLIGHT SYSTEMS I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. *TR

THE GAUGE CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER, NO TEMP SENSOR, NO OIL PRESSURE, AND NO BATTERY CHARGE. *TR

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER WINDOW AND LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V248000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 192,000. UPDATED 12/09/14*LJ

WAS CONSTANTLY HAVING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT SOON COME ON. WENT TO MY REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY GAS CAP. THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND REPLACED MY GAS CAP. SAME THING HAPPENED ON AND OFF OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS. ON JULY 18TH IT HAPPENED AGAIN . TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT SHOP AND THEY PERFORMED A SMOKE TEST AND FOUND A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK WHERE THE FILLER TUBE IS, SO WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL IT LEAKS OR WHEN YOU CORNER. NOT A LOT BUT I WOULD ASSUME THAT ANY WOULD BE BAD CONSIDERING THE EXHAUST PIPE IS RIGHT THERE. LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND NHTSA ALREADY HAD AN ITEM REGARDING THIS ISSUE ITS NUMBER IS PE07014. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE ACTION BUT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS NOTED ON THE NHTSA ACTION NOTICE AND RESEARCH I PERFORMED ON THE WEB. DID THEY TELL YOU THAT THEY WERE ONLY GOING TO COVER CERTAIN VIN. I COULD NOT FIND THIS ANYWHERE ON YOUR SITE. BUT COULD HAVE MISSED IT. *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

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

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
