2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT WITH 76,500 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS READING MAXIMUM. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER IN THE DARK ON A BUSY HWY TO CHECK OIL AND IT WAS FULL. THEN APPROX 2 WEEKS LATER THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IS POINTING DOWN AND STAYS THERE. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING 80 MPH EVEN WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER THE GAS AND WATER TEMP GAUGE IS READING CORRECTLY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALREADY FILED ABOUT THIS MODEL AND MANY OTHER CHEVROLET MODELS. RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON SOME MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THIS ONE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL ASAP AND CORRECT THE INFAMOUS PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND ONE THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. *TR

IN DECEMBER 2011 MY RPM GAUGE STOP WORKING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER. THEN, ON DECEMBER 7,2012 MY SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING AND NOW ALL THE OTHER GAUGES ARE STARTING TO MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS SAME PROBLEMS FOR 2005 AND 2006 TRAILBLAZERS. GM DIDN'T ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. I FILED A COMPLIANT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GENERAL MOTORS CALLED AND SAID THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS MET ITS LIFE EXPECTANCIES. THEY WILL NOT DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER 100,000 MILES. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES 100,000 MILES THAT GENERAL MOTORS DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IT WAS HIDDEN TO ME THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION THEY TOLD ME IT WAS TOO LATE. I SINCE JOINED A FORUM FOR MY TRUCK AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE IN THE PAST YEARS. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RANDOMLY GOES OFF THEN ON, SOMETIMES FREEZES. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. NO SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT CAUSES IT. *TR

IN 2010 MY TRAILBLAZER WOULD NOT IDLE OR ACCELERATE PROPERLY, THE MECHANIC FOUND THE PRIMARY SMOG AIR PUMP NOT WORKING. COST TO ME $720.00. NEXT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES STARTED JUMPING AROUND AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. ESTIMATED COST TO ME $480.00, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT.. THIRDLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND NEITHER COULD FIND THE WIPER PROBLEM. COST TO ME $68.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC TIME AND LOTS OF DANGER AHEAD. SIMILAR GM VEHICLES/ SUV'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASONS, AND THESE VEHICLES ALL SHARE SIMILAR PARTS. MY DAUGHTERS ENVOY WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, REPLACED AT NO COST TO HER. SAME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS MY TRAILBLAZER. I CANDIDLY SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF A CHEVY DEALER SHIP WHO SAID; "THESE PROBLEMS ARE COSTING THE OWNERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED".WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT IS CLEAR THE TRAILBLAZER IS LOADED WITH RECALLABLE PROBLEMS. WHY HAS THE TRAILBLAZER NOT BEEN RECALLED??? *TR
