2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Complaints

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER RARELY READS CORRECTLY. I AM NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING. THIS IS THE ONLY GAUGE THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THE OTHER GAUGES WORK FINE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFELY ISSUE AND SHOULD SOMEHOW BE COVERED BY A RECALL BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES STATED ACROSS THE INTERNET WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TRAILBLAZER WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY ON A 72 DEGREE DAY AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD SIMPLY EXPLODED. *TR

SES LIGHT CAME ON - TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED OF GAS TANK FILLER NECK CRACK. DID SMOKE TEST TO DETERMINE LEAK. TRIED REPAIR BY SEALING. THAT LASTED 2 WEEKS AND SES LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. GAVE ME ESTIMATE REPAIRING WITH NEW TANK APPROX $1500.00 OR USED TANK $800.00. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THEY WAS RECALL ON EXTENDED TRAILBLAZERS (MINE IS NOT). DELVED FURTHER AND FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN INDICATING GMC AND CHEVROLET HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #07099A. THEY ORDERED A NEW TANK AND INSTALLED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME.

MY WIFE AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION (HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER) OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, I SUSTAINED A C7 FRACTURE, SCALPED BY THE REAR VIEW MIRROR (22 STITCHES TO HOLD MY SCALP) 6 STITCHES ON MY NOSE AND BRUISED KNEES. MY WIFE HAS A BROKEN NOSE ALL THE BONES IN HER RIGHT FOOT BROKEN AND BRUISED KNEES. *TR

THE GAUGES STARTED FAILING ONE AT A TIME. FIRST THE OIL AND BATTERY NEEDLES MOVED TO THE FAR RIGHT AND BURIED OFF THE CHART. NOW THE SPEED IS READING 90MPH AT A STOP LIGHT AND 10MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CLUSTER IS GONE AND THE WHOLE DRIVER DASHBOARD IS FAILING. THE GAS AND OIL GAGUES I FEAR ARE NEXT. ACCORDING TO DEALER THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM CHARGING UP TO $600 TO FIX THE SITUATION. THIS IS MECHANICAL AND NOT CAUSED BY THE OWNER. THERE ARE BLOGS ALL OVER THE PLACE ON THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
